Early stages of Ukrainian counteroffensive ‘not meeting expectations,’ Western officials tell CNN - FMHY

Maybe redditors will stop cheering for other people to be sent to die. But probably not.

I would really rather that people stop dying. But that choice is entirely up to the Russians, who are the ones who started and are continuing to pursue this invasion.

They could just go home and this would all be over. This is on them.

Amazing deflection of responsibility. Why are you in favor of forcing people to die for your cause? Go fight yourself.

Then there’s the denying of reality. The Russians aren’t going to go away, even if you send in more conscripts. So the plan is what exactly? Just send in more guys (not you of course) until there’s no-one left?

And you also pull the old kindergarten move of “they started it”, when you know damn well this shit has been brewing for a while. Heck, even if this were true, maybe some deescalation would be wise? But no matter, the other guys are 100% at fault for sure and so your hands are clean.

Nobody is being forced to die for any cause. Ukrainians are fighting Russia because Russia intends to wipe their country off the map. I don't really see why you think you have the right to tell Ukrainians that they don't have the right to fight for the existence of their country.
