@KilKerrin absolutely relevant to have more countries in this poll. Unfortunately, Mastodon only allows 4 options in each poll.

@randahl @KilKerrin Also, some options in between yes and no would have been nice. But overall, even though a lot of help has been provided, it should have been significantly more to make a real difference, to prevent further bloodshed and to prevent Russia from fulfilling its legendary role of being the morally bad guy in the world.

@randahl no, but i live in Taiwan. we have our own WW3 we are trying to prepare for.
Show threadRandahl FinkOct 6, 2023

@tootbrute you have my deepest sympathy.

However, I find it less likely, China will invade Taiwan, now that every economist in the Chinese state has seen the consequences of a country being completely isolated from the world.

I do not think Chinese nationalists realised what world isolation meant, until they saw what happened to Russia.

@randahl I don't like my government (nl) but regarding Ukraine they were actually pretty good. They were early in wanting to donate tanks and F16s, but were held back by the countries that produced them

@randahl I don't understand the world's 'softly, softly' approach.

Doesn't anyone learn from history, even fairly recent events (Crimea, 2014 anyone)?

Yes, it's a tough problem but ignoring it won't make it go away!

@TalktoBeverley it’s like whispering to a cancer wound on your forearm instead of going to the doctor.
Show threadBeverleyOct 6, 2023

@randahl EXACTLY! It's driving me crazy.

I admire President Zelenskyy for several reasons, but it seems he has the patience of a saint.

That said, I appreciate it won't be my life, or the life of my child that would be on the front line. But the current approach will be more painful and more costly in the end. 🤷🏻‍♀️ The men in power are SO stupid.

@randahl I don't think either of them is doing enough, the aid has a cowardly character, because it is just enough to keep the West safe for the time being, but much more is needed to defeat Russia. It seems to me that Ukraine cannot do without a well-equipped air force at the very least.

@randahl I understand that #Mastodon limits the number of options, but in having lumped Canada together with the #US, there's definitely a negative bias against Canada.
To clarify, #Canada has put in $10 Billion dollars towards assisting #Ukraine
