    We all need to be open minded and careful of the news. My stance on this situation has changed a little. I am not on Russia's side at all but I think all the outside interference is gonna make things much worse. I feel all those impacted by this but so far im not, and I wish Ukraine would surrender. I know the consequences of this wouldn't be good but I doubt they could be worse than the path were on now.

    There are thousands of people that are dying and my man is focusing on racism, African Americans and what a random loser named Starr is saying.

    How can someone from USA have the guts to call other nations racists when y'all are the most racist one on the planet? If we were to rank countries and nations based on racism and xenophobia, no one will ever be able to take that number 1 spot from you.

    Btw, there were more than 470 Indian students evacuated from Ukraine via Romania - stupid indians, they must of heard how racist Ukraine is and they all came to study there.

    "likes" have no real meaning to me. It just logical fallacy if you use different standards to one source and another ones to the other.

    Do you know that people are different and racism is basically everywhere in any country in the world? That doesn't make your argument any better.

    Also I have found your article it's from 2011 (when it was Russian puppet state) and your guy twitter account:

    He seems to back Ukrainians fighting for their freedom, but hey to each their own.

    I know bro, same here in Romania there were hundreds of Romanians with free food at the boarders, offering free rides, free accomodations there was one mother f---er with his food truck cooking for everyone for free. So amazing to see my country helping people in need like that.

    I'm gonna open up a bit here. I don't claim to know about politics or anything that is or isn't happening in detail, this is just how I feel.

    Quite frankly I'm scared. I'm scared that this is going to end in nuclear warfare around the world and I'm scared either I will die or I will see my loved ones die. I'm not just scared, I'm petrified. I start watching the news and I can feel my heart rate quickening and shortness of breath.

    I can't see how this will end without either side surrendering (which obviously has to be Ukraine), the death of Putin or total worldwide destruction. I really, really hope that there is some secret convert mission going on by someone that is looking to assassinate Putin. I believe it's him calling the shots and not Russia's overall belief/feeling. At least I hope that's the case. The guy seems to be a mad man that has very recently had a switch switched in his head and given the rate of escalation so far, the "worst" has got to be a very real fear.

    The whole thing is really emotionally draining for me and I feel for regular people on both sides of this unneeded war. What’s more it’s really infuriating that there is so much disinfo and people fall for it, cause it confirms their preconceived notions. On the flipside disinfo spreaders are more visible. Especially if you live in the region and can tell what’s true and what’s false. Sadly it works in the West, cause people are ignorant.

    They won’t obey that order. Don’t worry. These people have too much to lose. You can count on more civilians, Ukraine soldiers and Russian soldiers dying though. And those deaths are unneeded.

    You can't be sure of that. Especially when US makes up a reason or false flag to get involved. Then it won't just be Putin we have to worry about pushing the button. Ukraine needs to surrender.

    That’s my opinion. You can have yours. I doubt they will. I also think that Russia could get away with nuking us, Ukraine or any Baltics country unprovoked and there won’t be retaliation strike.

    No, they don’t need to. They have a right to be sovereign country and self-determination. Russians can f--- off right back to Russia.

    Nukes will be flying everywhere if even one gets sent to US, No way around that and thats not an opinion.. You're very misinformed on that. Although a small tactical nuke in Ukraine they might get away with but not for long.

    I don't think Putin cares about his own people, only about saving face. If a nuke is launched of course there will be retaliation. Total, worldwide retaliation. Ukraine either needs to surrender or Putin needs to die. Quickly. I really can't see any other way this will stop.

    Agreed. But they won't, and they can't win this war on their own. Bringing (Forcing) others into is selfish honestly and we will all pay.
