No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I’m on the side of the poor, weak, disabled and oppressed.
Well, the cool thing about life is that despite humans making up stories that declare themselves the pinnacle of it, when every human is wiped out, life won't care and will flourish without them mucking up the works.
That is everyone in my orbit. F yeah 🙌!
Edited title to reflect the question is about countries, the groups that actually control the militaries, vs demographic groups.
I, also, like rooting for an underdog.

Uh... So, you're on the side of Russians? Wut?
To be fair they're doing the same thing in their own country, so.
USA and the Russia are on the same side at the moment.
Two evils do not make a right.
The cash is held "as hostage" mostly by EU countries. USA is trying to convince those EU countries to return the money to the Russia, with very little success.
They are kind of sanctioning the Russia, but all the new sanctions they are making are tacoed. There were sanctions against Lukoil, but they were revoked. The Russia and USA are stalling. The Russia is doing it to bleed Ukraine dry, USA for some reasons that are inexplicable.
The war will end whenever USA or EU decide to give their full support to Ukraine. As long as that doesn't happen, Ukrainians do not really have any other option than to continue fighting.
How, precisely, would they stop the war? They are trying it together all the time, with zero success.
instance checks out. shit takes apologizing for Russian imperialism.
I support Ukraine because I have lived in Ukraine and in the Russia and I know both countries. I know why the war is happening, I know what started it and I know why it is continuing. And because I am against colonialism and fascism.
I read very little about Ukraine in the mainstream news, so the billionaire media has very little chances to affect me.
clown
The Ukrainian companies that sell the drones would be much richer if the war ended.
Why would the EU not come help me? I live in a EU member country and was born in one. (Even though at that point it was not in the EU yet)
So... EU has not let India go when EU transitioned India from direct colonial rule to neo liberal colonial rule. Could you please elaborate what you mean with that? How is India currently a colony of some EU country, or a colony of the EU as a whole? I know especially France is playing dirty in many of its former colonies, but why are you saying that is happening in India and Brazil?
What does any of that have to do with Russia?
Do you not realize the idiots doing that, also think they're "on the side of the poor, weak, disabled and oppressed"?
Wait, what? Why would the Russia not threaten to roll an army down your neighbourhood if there was a war including it and your country?
Look for example at what they are doing in Mali.
Also, the Russia is the last of the European colonial empires that has not done anything at all to free its colonies. The other ones have have only done a part of it, but the Russia has not even started with it. Does colonialism not matter to you or what the heck?
...
Well, OP edited the title, and I can just say that instead of accusing you in turn if being illiterate, see how much better that works?
Why don't presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?
Because they might die in the process and then the country would not have a president? A new one would probably be sworn in very soon, but a new president needs time to gather all the ropes and fully understand what's going in the country.
