Russia has launched fresh strikes on critical infrastructure - with Kyiv residents told to cut energy consumption every night for the rest of 2024. Meanwhile, Western officials reportedly fear a major Russian advance - amid concerns Vladimir Putin could launch an attempt to seize Kharkiv.
If I was in Ukraine, I’d get out.
If you are a man you are not allowed to leave. There are people who will promise to smuggle you out for many tens of thousands of dollars, but there’s no guarantee they will succeed at doing it, or even seriously try.

Blame Zelensky, I guess. I mean I don’t, but it sounds like you should…

And yet the fact is that Zelensky made that order. You can consider it a transphobic and sexist order, but that is not the fault of anyone here.
I’m curious how you’d phrase it, there is a law in Ukraine and it is widely reported to apply to “men aged 18 to 60”. What phrasing would more accurately depict the current situation without having the problems you list? If you meant instead that the law itself is problematic, then I can understand that, it’s received some criticism for that side of things.
I wish Russians thought like you do.
You mean just like how all the Jews of Europe just “got out” as the Nazis rolled over country after country?
Because that sort of thing is so easy…

Neither did Ukrainians so what’s your point?
How is that relevant?

What was vague about my analogy? I’m pretty sure showing that people generally can’t just up and leave a country en masse even if they’ll die if they remain by giving an example of that during a similarly dire time is the opposite of vague.
The nazis argued that the Czechs did, just like you are arguing the Ukrainians did. Every argument you make for this war on Russia’s side is an argument the nazis made for themselves. This I haven’t seen anyone provide me anything else. Only ban me from ml’s news for “trivializing nazism”. Ironic because denying the nature of nazi foreign policy does a lot to trivialize it.

A more-interesting mechanism might be one that has some kind of trust metric.
Reddit Enhancement Suite remembered how many upvotes and downvotes you’d given a user on past posts and comments and put a total of each by their username, so there was an immediate trust metric available.

You’re not the smartest eh.
Yup. That’s why MATO is in adding so reign countries…
So NATO forced Putin to invade Ukraine?

I see, Putin is just doing what NATO wants without NATO forcing him.

If NATO wants war and there’s a war that Putin started, either they forced him to do it or he’s doing what they want unasked. Which is it?
NATO wants Putin to not attack sovereign countries.
You guys out in force today.
