So as you probably all know, Russia is threatening to invade my native country again. The first time it did so we lost Crimea and two other regions in one of which I was born and where I still have relatives. But now it seems that Putin is aiming for a much bigger land crab which many of us Ukrainians might not survive. So I was curious what do my fellow leftist content creators have to say about this? Like surely they would be empathetic and say that the West should help my country defend against Russian aggression. Well of course not, which goes to show that leftist infighting is the only way forward and leftist unity is just a load of bullshit. Kalkulinsky simply unloaded a bunch of Russian state propaganda from calling my country a fake state to giving excuses for the invasion. The area that he dug over is basically ethnically Russian, something like over 70% of them said they would prefer to be with Russia. Hasan Piker did a 24-minute segment that boils down to, hmm you're saying that we should help Ukraine but bro have you considered that America bad too? Which is somehow even worse than I expected from this Himbo dump fuck. First of all we are the imperialist wannabe fascist as well as Russia is for the record. The only non-Solsea path to take was from Wash who basically said what Russia is doing is completely unjustified and fuck everyone who is making up excuses He did a very good job taking apart kiles and Hassan's bullshit. You should probably watch his video the guy really does have a working head on his shoulders. With that being said as a person who is directly affected by how all of this plays out here's my take. I don't give a fuck about your stupid ass RT inspired the minions about who is right or wrong or whether the West should defend my country or not. The United States of America and the United Kingdom have an obligation to defend Ukraine both moral and formal. After we left the Soviet Union we were still in control of the third of its nuclear arsenal plus the means of its design and production but we gave it all away after the Budapest Memorandum on security assurances in 1994 which you guessed it gave us security assurances by the US, the UK and Russia in exchange for us contributing to the nuclear non-proliferation. If we hadn't done it chances our Russia wouldn't have even dared to invade us in 2014 and we wouldn't need your help now because nukes are a great deterrent guys but we did it and we have been an exemplary case for the NPT for 20 years and guess what 2014 happened thousands of people have died the war has lasted for eight fucking years already and where are the Americans and British? No where to be found they are too busy finger-wagging because they learned we also have neo-nazis. Oh but Daniel we are giving you guns. Well thanks but honestly I would much rather my government surrender as soon as the invasion begins than entertain you guys by dying with the regans in our hands in the war that we're never going to win. You didn't fucking help. You just gave us the opportunity to weaken Russia more for you before we all fucking die. The nuclearization was a mistake but Daniel nukes are bad. Well yeah but you know what is also bad living in constant fear of Russian invasion or even better getting conquered by an authoritarian state and then living under it as second-class citizens because of propaganda that convinced their people that your people are practically subhuman. When you guarantee someone's security in exchange for them losing 1700 nuclear fucking warheads you are expected to do something. We upheld our part of the deal and so it is not our soldiers who are supposed to be dying at the hands of Russian army and Russia back separatists. The dead soldiers are supposed to be of the English speaking variety. Maybe that way my people wouldn't rightfully feel betrayed by both the east and the west. Maybe then we wouldn't have so many ultra-nationalists you guys can't seem to shut up about and maybe in that case you would actually feel compelled to quickly do something about Russia. Instead of letting it conquer all its neighbors while you do abysment. And for those of you soldier paths who are fine with Ukraine getting conquered because well bro technically the memorandum is not an international treaty so we don't really have to abide by it so get fucked a lot. First of all you're fucking scum and I sincerely hope you'll never get close to any position of power and secondly what kind of example do you think this sets for other countries. Ukraine gave away the nukes and got invaded 20 years later which the nukes could have prevented. As it turns out nuclear non-proliferation is only beneficial to countries like the US. Nukes for me but not for the. Give up your weapons in exchange for protection and when you need that protection the most we will laugh in your face. I hope you understand what set of incentives this gives to other governments. So yeah this is my take I know I'm right but you can of course leave a dislike and write a comment saying I'm wrong because something something geopolitics it's your freedom to do so. See ya!
