    me and most of the developing world have mixed feelings about the war in ukraine. at the very least it’s white people’s problems. at the limit we’re pissed by the west trying to rally us behind a country that stopped black people from leaving when the invasion came and that is receiving many times the amount of help that many of us have received during catastrophes, against a country that, wicked as it can be, never really messed with our internal affairs.

    that being said, this is war and russia cannot complain that it didn’t knew what was coming. deal with it (spoiler: they will).

      When you realize Ukraine is the reason Russia hasn’t come for other countries, it’ll make more sense.

      I get that you’re apparently in a nation you classify as developing. The same label can be applied to America in 1200ad or Ukraine/Gaza in 2025 – in all cases, no ability to prevent colonizers from taking the land if they choose.

      Unchecked, we’re all at risk. Just, developing countries are at risk of facing a war even more outbalanced than the belligerent invasion of Ukraine or Gaza.
