I wonder if this war will finally break the dynamic duo Poland/Hungary that is keeping EU hostage

@Ninmi it's okay, they can go around. Not like they were of any help before either

So you would call waging a proxy war and supplying weapons in order to keep alive a conflict that will cost thousands of Ukranian lifes "help"?

Great idea, maybe start asking the attacking side to stop, instead of blaming the victims for their self-defence?

Thank you for the sanity, can't believe people are trying to defend Russia after everything that's happened.

Russian tradition would be to name these people "useful idiots". Putin's regime is very effective at playing the misguided soviet-nostalgia and anti-imperialism for it's own, purely imperialistic, gains.

Bruh, Lemmy was founded by hardcore tankies. After I was banned for supposed anti-russian racism I unsubscribed from all lemmy.ml communities
