This is the most absurd take. So they should stand their ground against the Russian advance, but inflict no harm to the Russian soldiers?

You’re welcome to try it, but please forgive the Ukrainians if they take the common sense route.

By the way, there’s a reason we admire Tank Man, but we don’t know his identity.

In case you are unaware, stand-your-ground is a term that allows for deadly force to repel an attacker instead of mandating retreat if it is an option.

I think most people are okay with that, especially in the west, but I'd say all over the world. But in the west you have strong values of fighting for your freedom, arming yourself, having the right to be armed and to fight for your freedoms and that death is better than surrendering your freedoms.

These are only US traditions, especially about firearms. And if I look at the results, your idealistic and self-confident description seems a bit too positive.

I’m aware of it. But in the context of war, it’s splitting hairs.
