According to Section IX of Ukraine’s 1990 Declaration of State Sovereignty:

The Ukrainian SSR solemnly declares its intention of becoming a permanently neutral state that does not participate in military blocs and adheres to three nuclear free principles: to accept, to produce and to purchase no nuclear weapons.

    Your neighbor has a gun pointed right at you loudly declaring his intent to use it. But it’s your fault for getting the police involved so he doesn’t shoot you, even though you agreed not to call the cops when he let you out of his basement.

    You guys really want Russia to be the good guy in this, huh?

        While their cities are being destroyed and their people are being slaughtered?

        But wait, they clearly asked for total war. My bad

        Joining a mutual defense agreement is not at all holding the gun. Also, NATO didn’t even consider Ukraine until well after Russia invaded.

        You have to be pretty deep into the rabbit hole before you can say that Ukraine is the aggressor here.

        Not that this conjecture matters, hit me with a soyjack

      You really want russia to be the bad guy, dont you? Do you actually read what we write or are you committed to shilling for a Nazi state?

      dude being neutral is not when you coup the real ukraine government, install a bunch of right wing losers, and then try to join the fucking GIANT ANTI-RUSSIA MILITARY ALLIANCE

      What, are Hamas terrorists now? Houthis the bad guys worthy of bombing for distrupting trade routes? Does Iraq have WMDs? Are we going to pretend the Gulf of Tonkin ‘incident’ was legit? The Bay of Pigs was totally not done by us? Sending weapons to Osama Bin Laden was a very smart and good idea? This is the kind of shit the US says many times a decade, the whole US bloc lies to get into war and you fucking ducks waddle behind them and think yourself enlightened. Get a grip

      I would say that you cannot possibly be this childish, but im afraid that everyone here knows the real answer. Just fuck off you politically inept loser.

              No, I chose not to read what is, unironically, a hissyfit

              oh no did the mean words hurt your feelings? Its the internet kid, get a grip. Dude are you just going to sit here basically saying “no u, mods ban me im so smug” like you have for the last fucking half hour or are you going to GO OUTSIDE LIKE A NORMAL PERSON.

              but while we’re on the topic of ukraine, How’d that counter-offensive go btw?

            Don’t -> won’t

            You guys really don’t understand how you alienate yourselves every time you say

            You libs are so full of western propaganda

            And then immediately unironically say

            Try our propaganda instead!

            And then you proceed to flame whoever doesn’t agree with you? Then you expect us to read your “proof”?

            What’s the point? I’m not allowed to have an opinion different than yours here without getting this this treatment either way? So why would I go out of my way to read your material?
