Well, if Russia doesn’t stop being a selfish asshole, we provide peace through superior firepower and push Russia back to where they came from.

I mean, Russia can stop killing any time it wants to. Either be killed fighting for your freedom from Russia or die under Russian rule. Looks like the Ukrainian’s want their country to be their’s, NOT Russias…

I mean everything was fine and dandy until Russia attacked. If Russia stopped and went home, there would be 100% peace. Remember, Ukraine didn’t attack Russia, Russia attacked Ukraine and invaded them.

What I actually believe is Russia invaded because they never tried Lobster Boat’s Cheddar Bay Biscuits. By pushing west, they get closer to the delectable morsels and can satisfy their craving for them.

No I actually believe Russia has heard all the hype about Lobster Boat Cheddar Bay Biscuits and can’t fathom living in a society without them. Depriving their citizens from these delicious biscuits is clawing at them in ways that are unimaginable. It’s a serious problem they have, which is understandable as they are amazing.

Are you getting discouraged because of your lack of Lobster Boat Cheddar Bay Biscuits in Australia?

So normalize wars of territorial conquest.

Why do you believe Russia can't be stopped?

Vatniks tend to have an inflated sense of Russias might. Check the dudes post history. It's a wild ride.

The Russian might of sending their ethnic minority to die for them.

Much strength, very macho.

Fuck me, you really are a tool.

Every war is settled at the negotiation table, when one side is pushed to the point of breaking.

Ukraine hasn't come close to breaking yet, why would they negotiate? They've got objectives to complete, and they're doing it.

Then we send more, and we send better. Ukraine and the west aren't the ones in the wrong, why the hell should we roll over?

The AFU doesn't want volunteers with no combat experience. If Australia deploys troops, I'll have a chance to go. Without that, I have no ability to do so and still be able to return home either, because of the foreign fighter laws.

So yeah, there are things stopping me.

The AFU only wants combat experienced troops. The only way I'd be able to fight would be via joining a militia, which would run afoul of the foreign fighter laws.

It's like explaining why the sky is blue to a goddamned toddler.

E2A: https://www.perthilj.com/blog/the-legality-of-australians-fighting-in-foreign-conflicts > under s 119.1 of the Act, a person commits an offence if they enter into a foreign country with the intention of engaging in a hostile activity in that country or any other foreign country [14]. A person will also commit an offence if they engage in hostile activities in a foreign country [15]. However, liability under s 119.1 will not apply to an act done by a person “in the course of, and as part of, the person’s service in any capacity in or with ... the armed forces of the government of a foreign country”

We sure are. And that's why I think everyone deserves it, including my Ukrainian mates. I don't think my responsibility to humanity ends at the shores of my country.

Y'know, because I'm not a glorified cockstain like some.

Nice goal post shift though. Now that you've realised you made a tit of yourself.
