Stop trying to simplify geopolitics into interpersonal metaphors.

In your metaphor what is the billions in human killing machines that NATO et al supply to Ukraine? Who would be the thousands dead and families destroyed?

    I'll stop simplifying geopolitics as soon as you recognize the right of the Ukrainian people to defend their land by whatever means is necessary. Every nation in the history of mankind has conscripted its citizens to aid in its defense. Russia will continue to take, and take, and take until someone shows them they cannot take freely any more. This anti-war absolutism is Russian propaganda designed to further their goals of illegal annexation of territory belonging to Ukraine.

    Yes, only Russia should send billions of dollars worth of human killing machines to Ukraine.

    Clearly the solution is to escalate, sending MORE weapons! That can only possibly SAVE lives!

    Yeah! Why can't they just roll over and die instead? Smh people fighting not to lose their homes or worse are so inconvenient to us. Sometimes we have to read about it and be upset! Absolutely unacceptable these people should care more about how they're making people on the internet feel and stop defending themselves so much. As someone that's entitled and privileged I surely know what is best for them.
