Yeah, would be nice, but they are fighting for their survival and russia should have never put them in this position to require this. I can’t imagine a situation where Ukraine would have come up with these if not out of necessity.
Same reason I can’t fault iran for lashing out at non-military targets because the US is illegally attacking them.
Russia needs to get the fuck out of Ukraine
For 40 years, china required 50% Chinese ownership of foreign automakers who wanted to sell in China, technology transfer requirements, and other restrictions. It’s only very recently that these restrictions have been eased. Combined with their decades of currency manipulation and other protectionist limitations, I don’t think it’s fair for them to expect unfettered access to other markets.
I actually like and admire a lot about China, but this just seems hypocritical.
Are you familiar with Chinese restrictions on their domestic market? Why do they think they deserve unrestricted access to the US and other markets when they do not extend that same privilege to their own market?
To be fair, there is someone who 100% deserves to be shot
You’re fascist trash.
Stay in Russia and fuck off.
These ones suck too. Close enough 😬
Does eastern and central Europe post WW2 not exist to you or something?
It’s incredible that you could frame a literal imperial invasion of Ukraine by Russia as everyone else being imperialist. It’s just completely ignorant and has all the energy and logic of a trump decree.
Russia and the Soviet Union has a very long history of imperialism and colonization and, if that sort of thing bothers you, you should be critical of Russia.
Apparently thinking isn’t something you’re ready for.
Tell me you’ve never been to china without telling me you’ve never been to china.
Maybe the US needs to take a play out of China’s book - require >50% ownership stake of any Chinese company doing business in the US and allow American companies to just take that technology and roll with it.
I hope he comes to the US and endorses trump to wake up tomorrow
Bloomcole consistently has the worst takes on matters. He’s an imperialist Russian tankie.
You’re fooling yourself if you think Lemmy/mbin content isn’t getting scraped and thrown into LLMs. There’s nothing stopping it and they’re not huge on consent.
A factual statement about civilian protestors being killed equals “fascist talking point” to you. You certainly have an interesting thought process. Maybe those people didn’t matter to you though.
This war is absolutely not justified and Israel and the US should face international condemnation and prosecution.
Fuck Israel, but you need to educate yourself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iran_massacres
Prior to that, there have been countless cases of abuse and murder of protestors and even just uncovered women.
Fuck the Islamic government of Iran too.
I get your frustration, but “helped a little” is a massive understatement for the contributions the US made for Ukraine immediately before and during the early phases of the war, when Biden was in office.
Trump is just awful by every measure though.
That’s so weird/trashy that china “controls” a whole breed of animal.
Can we convince trump to go in there and get it with his bare hands because he’s the best at everything and would do it better than anyone has before?
