Memes aside, is there really no rent in the DPRK? 🤔

If you’re in this picture try using fzf and backwards search, much more effective, hell even without fzf.

So poetic 🥲

You must be very lucky then. I’ve seen it happen so many times.

You know what they say - it’s not stupid if it works…

Sad news :(

So much jpeg it’s almost unreadable.

I like the memes

And your answer is…?
People like you vote. Or should vote?! But should they if they just choose to be ignorant?!
You’re a living argument against democracy 🥲

They are right though. How does sticking your head in the sand and pretending the problem doesn’t exist work?

Wow I really liked that article ty for posting it

I get what you’re saying, but… realistically, there will literally be 0 consequences, no? Like what could Denmark or Canada or Panama even do?

America bad so Russia stonk and good.

I think this kinda reductionist bs abolishes any kind of discussion. What does this have to do with anything? Where did I say such things?

I’m not saying they should get to keep it, I’m questioning whether prolonging the war will make a difference in the matter.

Nope. And Russia shouldn’t get to keep what they’ve taken by force either. But it’s not like we could give weapons to those palestinian children and they’d be able to turn this conflict around. That’s an extreme example of this problem. Ofc Ukraine is much more developed, and has trained soldiers and stuff…

Anyway as I said before, the argument remains - are the west fueling a proxy war at Ukraine’s expense, or are they helping them win? Maybe one day we’ll find out.

I don’t think giving it away is a solution. It was already taken, by force. The question is, can it be taken back, and at what cost?

In what way am I not caring about the victim in this case? I think you’re assuming I’m not taking this seriously, or that I think Ukrainians deserved it, or shit like that. But that’s not the case at all.

And the analogy for the Palestinian genocide would be like so: should the west arm palestinians so they can defend themselves? And the answer imo would be no. They would still fail to defend themselves against such a strong adversary, and it would only aggravate the conflict.

It’s not my land to give, it just seems to me that trying to take it back doesn’t work, and I question the motives of western states and if they genuinely believe in victory, or if they’re just fueling the war to weaken their enemy.

I had a reply for a similar comment; trying to link it here, to avoid copy-pasting: https://lemmy.ml/post/23582488/15569369

Just to offer you a perspective on what other people think, not that you asked for it but idk, don’t read if you’re not interested :) I’ll be brief.

America not having their back might bring about a truce treaty, which would stop the war, the bombs, the people getting killed. I think across the political spectrum from “tankies” to Trump supporters and everything in between, lots of people are hoping for a fast peaceful outcome.

Isn’t this idea that the conflict was intended to last only 3 days something the media says to portray the russians as weak and incompetent?

Afaik at this stage of the conflict they’re fighting so Ukraine can reclaim its lost territories. They’ve been at this stage for a long time and it doesn’t seem doable. This is why many lefties are against the war. Because if you know there’s no chance to win but you keep fueling the flames, you’re just sending those people to die just to weaken the enemy, which is a pretty shitty thing to do.

Anyway this is just one point of view, might be a very stupid one, but I think it’s worth taking into consideration.
