They aren't allowed to leave. Stop trying to justify genocide please.

Things would not get better, they'd just charge more to increase profit margins. Haven't you ever lived under Capitalism before?

I'm not sure if Robotyne has completely been taken by AFU or not, but that's not part of the "first line of defense". These are outer/forward defense positions. We aren't totally sure what portion of Russian defense units are manning these forward positions however, and the RFAF have tried to build up fortification around the area, but its not the first official line, which is maybe where people get confused.

If you look at this image, I've labelled the two main lines of the Russian defenses from deepstatemap:

And here I've circled in blue, an example of what portion of the Defense in Depth doctrine, Robotyne and areas where AFU has made gains, these parts of the front are equivalent to:

That's just not true. Ukraine has not even gotten through the first defense line anywhere along the front. Where are you referring to with them knocking on the second line?

I think US conservatives have a lot of ideological agreements with Russian society. Their views on women, traditional values, etc. Russia is even building a little village to invite US conservatives to move there. I think it's a recent post 2000~ phenomenon that they are aligning ideologically on the culture war stuff. So US conservatives don't see why they should attack and destroy a nation they see defending their values, like pro-religion and anti-lgbt views, and since Russia isn't "communist" anymore, they don't see many reasons to not like them now.

It's almost like most socialists are actually good people who just want to make the world a better place and don't put profits above humanity. I hope Lula keeps up with his promises and continues to bring Brazil forward. The people there definitely deserve it.

It's already starting to happen in lemmy.ml, saw a post in world news where they called someone a neo Nazi for pointing out a pro Ukraine article was written by a Ukrainian govt official. Chaos ensued.
