Ukraine’s Defence Forces killed 480 Russian invaders over the past day. In total, 274,950 Russian soldiers have been killed in Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion.
It’s a little disgusting how we are cheering for people dying in cruel and needless wars.
That being said, I hear the Russian solders seem to be insane and go out or their way to cause misery and pain.
Honestly, I would leave this planet tomorrow if we had anywhere else to go. Earth is mental. It has crossed my mind that we are all in hell right now. People are so primitive and cruel.
It’s worth bearing in mind this war could be over in a single second, if the Russian army and its various mercenaries hoisted the white flag and proceeded to leave Ukraine and went back to Russia.
From the beginning, we’ve heard stories about Russian soldiers being shot for not following through. I’d like to think that I’d choose the right thing and walk away, but no one knows until they’re in that position
That not necessarily just a Russian Military thing thats just a military thing. “Desertion in the face of the enemy” is punishable by death under multiple military codes. Including the USs UCMJ.
This is very easy to say on the Internet. Things change when bullets are cracking around you and stuff is blowing up all around. I’d also like to say I’d do the right thing in this case, but I’m also home, not being conscripted and pushed into the meat grinder.
They would be better for it because they could stop wasting resources banging their heads on a wall. And who knows, perhaps there could be better leaders in Russia than Putin and his mafia.
Alas, Putin will never do that. He’ll need some kind of “win” before even considering a peace talk. It might be easier to force him to publicly kiss a gay man’s cheek than pulling out from Ukraine empty-handed.
Life is disgusting, I agree. Where would you go, if all rocky planets and moons were available? And maybe the stars systems withing 15ly? You just gonna homestead somewhere?
Honestly yeah, it would kind of be the dream. The problem is it’s awful lonely if your not bringing or creating family and that would be kind of cruel to bring someone into a planet with a human population of like let’s say 100 (you and a dozen or so other families who were crazy enough to do the same), where everyone is related, after only like two generations. You would basically force your descendants to have to take a massive voyage themselves or marry their cousin… and that doesn’t seem too fair. You also better hope at least a couple of those people are really great teachers, who packed basically the entire earth knowledge base, otherwise your going to have this weird agro society stranded on another planet.

Get shot for being a good slave soldier, or maybe get shot for being a good person.
Tough decision for a coward.

They’re also easy to say for people that know they’re not baby raping murderers, but maybe you’re not so sure of your moral compass
And even Russia would be better for it.
You think Russia wants these people back? Why do you think they sent them to die in the first place?

Ok so then the next war is further away from us. It doesn’t stop.
We cheer for killing the invaders. They are the reason killing is happening. It appears to be the only viable end to Moskovite aggression.
It’s not earth that causes these things. It’s humans. It’ll likely follow us wherever we go.
I hear you.
Just remember that we know so much more about everything that happens on the earth than even just a few decades ago.
Things have always been bad everywhere, we just didn’t all have to hear about it every single day.
I say this just so you can maybe temper some of your feelings to make sure you’re accounting for that difference.

Right now we have no options. Earth is too primitive to have met other civilizations.
And we still have wars ongoing constantly around the planet.
Yeah but they’re the bad guys. It’s like our team is winning, ya know? Like it or not, we celebrate winners.
