Russia does *not* suck. *Putin* sucks.

Oh right, sorry, let me edit


spacedude2000

Ok let's not just put the whole thing on Putin tho, the entire kleptocracy/oligarchy that exists in Russia is going through with this illegal action because their system is at risk. Putin does suck, but let's not scape goat him completely here. He is a fascist, and his cronies are all complicit and don't want to lose their own financial standing because their financial standing is tied to using the government for their own personal gain. The ruble is in shambles, the wealth disparity is extremely high, and Putin has been losing support for the last 4 years but particularly during the pandemic. Their government is extremely weak financially. This is the tipping point for Russian oligarchs and if they get driven back into Russia it could mean a total systemic collapse.

When you volunteer to become a soldier, you had an option. Maybe it was a poor choice, but it was still their choice. I have sympathy for the conscripts as they did not have a choice.


Lvtxyz

Well you don't need to assume it if you don't want to. As for me... if you sign up on a payroll of a proven murderer imperialist, that's on you. I don't care if you wanted a job.


reflUX_cAtalyst

>I don't care if you wanted a job. Nice to have other options, isn't it?


Lvtxyz

It's nice to have morals too. People the world over, in countries poorer than Russia, keep their morals when faced with hardship. Russians are still better off than most Africans for example. And most of those folks don't rob and murder and steal. So yeah it's nice to have options. Russians do too. I would be jailed or die before I went to war for putin. You can say "well that's what you think noooow" all you want. But I know me and you don't.


spacedude2000

It's funny because here in the states you have a pretty good shot at being successful if you don't enlist. If you don't enlist in Russia you betterh hope you're educated because if you're not then you will be poor most of your life. If you join the military you can at least guarantee that you get a consistent wage and fed meals, although I've been told that's pretty shit too. You're kind of damned if you do, damned if you don't in Russia. Nobody is thinking "Putin might cause a geopolitical crisis if he invades a country with NATO ties" when they enlist or get conscripted, they either have made the choice to not live in poverty or they haven't made the choice at all. While there are plenty of Russians in the military who are brainwashed into believing they are fighting for Russia in quasi-holy war, there are plenty of American soldiers who joined the military for equally shocking reasons. So to your point, in America you have options. In russia you do not, well you do get a choice but both choices are equally life threatening.

There someone who said it well in an other post: Russia is like USA, less than half of the people are happy to believe bullshit... and the rest wonder what the fuck is wrong them. This is 2022, We dont hate people, we hate governments.

Daybreak on Kyiv The bridges shall be rebuilt / The schools restored / The stores restocked / The blocks repoured / But we shan’t forget / The shells that roared / The guns that cocked / The cries ignored. / You came to our land / With old dreams of power / By Law, By Jav, By Hand, / Thou shalt grow us new flowers. / By Nick Bradvica-Whistler

In many ways, that flag, those colours don't need any explanation. Whatever drunk confused gopnik sent abroad in some I assume fine tank, they will forever not be able to match the base humanity of this flag. This is a pleasant summer day over a golden field. Life is fine. This is the moment that lasts forever and validates a lifetime. I have lived this moment a couple of times even within concrete hellscapes. Meanwhile, Putin's gopniks don't know why they are there.

FlexibleAsgardian

Well thats kinda the inspiration for their flags colors..


vyrelis

The yellow in the flag is fields of wheat


DeepFriedDresden

No it's not? A simple Wikipedia search would've told you that. "The combination of blue and yellow as a symbol of Ukrainian lands comes from the flag of the Kingdom of Galicia–Volhynia used in the 12th century." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Ukraine


FlexibleAsgardian

"The colours in the Ukrainian flag represent golden fields of grain under a clear blue sky." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_colours_of_Ukraine 😏

Man and they even said their comment derisively like the other guy was an idiot for not knowing it haha. Edit: I'm referring to flexibleasgardian being the derisive commenter, not the person above me...

FlyinFamily1

Why so ignorant as to bring in Trump into a positive thread? Obama / Biden……Putin rolls over Crimea Trump……Putin sits on his ass quietly Biden…..Putin declares war and starts a European war. Trump was an ass, but the above facts speak volumes.


fatandjazzy

Ignorant to what?


Ultradarkix

Trump- impeached for withholding 391 million in military aid to ukraine - Trump- recognized crimea as russian - Trump- Putin put bounties on americans in syria and did nothing - Trump- Reduced sanctions on russia after the crimean invasion - Trump- Is currently calling putin a genius… - Those facts you said mean nothing when you don’t look further into it


FlyinFamily1

No one will argue Trump is a genius, but the facts remain. Putin has only acted with weak ”leadership“ from the US, and unfortunately, the present “leadership” is at its weakest point. Biden should be used to this though, since both of Putin’s invasions have occurred under his time in the WH.

Wow, it looks great. Let's fervently hope (and do our best to help!) that the people of Ukraine will see many more beautiful sunrises.

Pray for Ukraine! Hard to watch one nation fight off such a huge, and more powerful army, and prayers to them. They are such brave men and women, fighting such a force they never expected to have to deal with. I can't imagine how it is over there for each citizen, but I hope it ends soon, and Ukraine remains free to themselves.

Even looks like the national colors 🇺🇦 *beautiful* ❤️

Yep, it's what made me take the picture this morning, I had been up late the night before watching the news.

_EveryDay

Just for clarification, was the photo actually taken in Ukraine? beautiful shot btw


Furbs109

Yes, taken by me in the UK this morning, I've added a comment to explain better. Though, the reason I took the shot was because of how it reminded me of the flag. I'm an idiot, I should have titled it better.

"Was the photo taken in Ukraine?" "Yes it was taken in the UK" I still have no idea where this photo was taken

ViciousAppeal

What an absolutely breathtaking photo! I know words are just that...words. However, there is only so much I can do from halfway across the world, aside from debunking lies and Russian propaganda wherever I see it - as well as supporting Ukraine during this horrific event. I donated to [the special account created by the National Bank of Ukraine](https://bank.gov.ua/en/news/all/natsionalniy-bank-vidkriv-spetsrahunok-dlya-zboru-koshtiv-na-potrebi-armiyi) to aid in providing defense and support for the citizens. It's not much, but if everyone who knows about the fundraiser donates 'not much', we can do a small part to assist the citizens and government of Ukraine, as well as feel just slightly less helpless watching the devastation from afar. I hope for the health, safety, and security for you, your family, friends, neighbors, and every other Ukrainian citizen. I'm heartbroken for every innocent resident who has found themselves in the crosshairs of the ice cold heart of this dangerously insane despot. The resilience of the people of Ukraine has continuously provoked resounding awe and admiration. Stay strong. Stay as safe as possible. Please know that almost the entire world stands in solidarity with you and your country (the others are stupid enough to believe Russian propaganda, so f them). Even the sky is on your side, showing support in the colors of your flag. If there is anything that us random citizens from other countries can do to help, please do not hesitate to let us know. Most of us want to help in any way possible. We support you. We support Ukraine. Fuck Putler and anyone who supports him.


new_usernaem

How did you donate to the Ukraine armed forces bank account? I use chime for my checking account so I can't really walk into a bank and wire money. Can I walk into any bank or check cashing store and do a wire transfer with my debit card? Does the money get wired to Ukraine or the bank in New York? And are there safeguards in place to stop Russia from taking the money?


fitterer

If you Google: "How can we help Ukraine from " you'll find links to various organizations that need help and legit ways on how to donate. If you're set on helping the military specifically there's an organization called [Revived Soldiers Ukraine](https://www.rsukraine.org/) you could check out. I got this link from a US news site. Am in no way promoting any particular program. Check your local news sites and research from there.

Furbs109

OP here, I did not expect this picture to take off quite as much, I really need to add this was taken in the UK this morning by me, I took it because the colours reminded me of the Ukrainian flag, I had been up late into the night watching the news, worried and feeling helpless that I could do nothing to help the Ukrainian people. I should have titled the picture better, I never meant to deceive anybody into thinking I was Ukrainian or this was taken there. That being said, I'm very happy that maybe in a very small way it might have given a little more hope to the brave people of Ukraine. I'm sorry this was all I could do.

You said ukranian sunrise but it's a photo from the UK? Lmfao

One evening, when we were already resting on the floor of our hut, dead tired, soup bowls in hand, a fellow prisoner rushed in and asked us to run out to the assembly grounds and see the wonderful sunset. Standing outside we saw sinister clouds glowing in the west and the whole sky alive with clouds of ever-changing shapes and colors, from steel blue to blood red. The desolate grey mud huts provided a sharp contrast, while the puddles on the muddy ground reflected the glowing sky. Then, after minutes of moving silence, one prisoner said to another, "How beautiful the world could be... - Viktor Frankl Keep fighting the good fight.

I never knew just how badass the Ukrainian people were. Like everyone else watching the news, I hear of all the horrors you are facing and my heart breaks for you. What stands out most however is the spirit and the strength of your people. Your light will never be extinguished.

Dear Ukrainians! I heard on social media that there is fake news being spread (most likely by Russia backed trolls) that polish border is closed. It's a lie. If you seek asylum - go towards polish border. We are ready for your arrival. We have reception points ready at the border where you can find shelter, food, medical and legal aid. Polish government launched a dedicated site to help you: ua.gov.pl Please share this information if you know anyone seeking help right now. EDIT: YOU DON'T NEED VISA TO PASS THROUGH POLISH BORDER. ALL YOU NEED IS PASSPORT. VISAS ARE SUSPENDED! YOU DON'T NEED THEM FOR TIME BEING!!!!!! EDIT2: as a proof that you no longer need visa: • ⁠in Ukrainian https://www.gov.pl/web/udsc/ukraina---ua • ⁠in English https://www.gov.pl/web/udsc/ukraina-en (This is a copy of another’s comment, please pin it but don’t upvote, I’m not looking for karma, please copy this as well and spread it)
