I don't like referring to people fighting for their culture, society, family and future as a "crumple zone".
welp thats what US and lackeys ultimately made Ukraine to be
I'm not crazy about the concept, either, but I'm also going to call a spade a spade. When Ukraine falls, the front will shift to new borders, introducing war and displacement to new areas. If Russia advances, all of Europe will have been able to help prevent it, but did not. They would have let Ukraine get ground to dust for a few years, only to fall anyway. Sure, they helped a little, with training and supplies, but the death toll is uniquely Ukrainian.
Seriously, what in the lack-of-empathy did I just read? Empathy isn’t that hard. Imagine you lived there. Your loved ones. How would you feel about it then?
Edit for grammar.
Empathy might be hard. It just depends on the Person, mental state, perspective, etc.
If empathy would be easy, then why did Trump win?
Because propaganda hits harder. They have empathy for the poor kids that are being forced to be transgender and gay by their parents. They have empathy for the people losing their jobs and being raped by immigrants.
Mate, I think whatever propaganda you're talking about, worked.
Get used to it cause it's the fuckin truth.
