However I disagree. To broad-brush it, I think Ukraine's war is a just war (as in morally justified).
Ukraine thinks otherwise.
What I dont understand is how people from far away can justify financially supporting this war.
"The people there really really want to fight and need the money" is a weak argument, ofc they do. Still it will inevitably increase the suffering of thousands of people if we donate money for this war.
But hey its a free world (for some of us) so go ahead an donates some rounds and hope that they will be fired only at people you would shoot too and no innocent people get harmed.
Russia started this war and the brave people of Ukraine are fighting back with our help. Please don't spread lies to further your political agenda.
Neither Russia nor Ukraine is a free democrat country all people participating in this war are either brainwashed or forced to fight and die for people (dictators) who do not represent western values and have no respect for human lives.
Also if you want to fight for a cause go there do it I'd respect that. What I dont respect is people giving money for something thy absolutely would not fight for.
I'm not deflecting at all. You are posting lie after lie.
> Also if you want to fight for a cause go there do it I'd respect that. What I dont respect is people giving money for something thy absolutely would not fight for.
You don't respect people that fight for their lands but you respect uninvolved parties joining in? Why don't you go there yourself and convince them you are right instead of posting on HN?
I never said anything about who has the right to own which land or anything the like. The woman is correct but how do you help her by donating for war? You dont. The more money people put into this war the more endangered this woman is.
As I said above this is not about picking sides its about stopping to financially support wars. The vast majority of the people in Russian and Ukraine are against this war.
> The vast majority of the people in Russian and Ukraine are against this war.
You are being dishonest as you well know. Ukrainians are against the war Russia has started but they support the war effort as it defends their lands.
Your donation will be used to finance destruction and death at worst and at best some random person with access to it will run away with it. And I would not even blame someone for doing that. I would chose a few BTC as a kick start for a new life somewhere else over laying dead in the street too.
