It's cute how if Ukraine fights back that risks nuclear war, but when Russia invades a sovereign country it doesn't

Ukraine doesn’t have nukes

[–] deadtom@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not anymore. They gave them to Russia under guarantees they wouldt do... pretty much everything they are doing right now.

I'm starting to think Russia might not be trustworthy...

Too bad so sad! Should have been smart like Kim Jong. Keep some nukes and you don’t get invaded.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You make a good point. Ukraine should build some of their own nukes.

[–] MrBusinessMan@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They would have to figure out how to do it and they aren’t smart enough, better if they ask Russia to lend them some in exchange for surrendering all disputed territories.

wtf? bruh is this a Russian shill account?

[–] taranasus@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hang on... That's sabotage. Straight up. That's a criminal offence no?

[–] systemglitch@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For what countries laws? He's not a Ukrainian citizen

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So if you're not an American you're free to sabotage the US as much as you want and it's not a crime?

[–] sergih@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Yeah but it's not called treason, treason is to your own country, ofc this is still an illegal offense in Ukraine but I don't think it's treason?

Fucking charge him with something. This is insane... If it's not treason, it sure as hell is undermining the billions of dollars in aid were sending Ukraine. We've sent 76 billion dollars so far.

Stop trying to tell a private citizen and businessman what he can and can’t do with his own business

[–] sirjash@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Where do you draw the line? Should he also be allowed to sell his services to Russia? Should private companies from the US be allowed to sell arms to Russia?
