Why on earth do people think donating money for a war would help?
The interest of powerful people and companies created this war because they profit from it. They used your taxes to make sure both sides have weapon so a war can happen and now people are naive enough to donate even more money so the war can go on for longer?
Your donation will be used to finance destruction and death at worst and at best some random person with access to it will run away with it. And I would not even blame someone for doing that. I would chose a few BTC as a kick start for a new life somewhere else over laying dead in the street too.
I dont care. They can think however they want. I totally understand why some want to fight.
What I dont understand is how people from far away can justify financially supporting this war.
"The people there really really want to fight and need the money" is a weak argument, ofc they do. Still it will inevitably increase the suffering of thousands of people if we donate money for this war.
But hey its a free world (for some of us) so go ahead an donates some rounds and hope that they will be fired only at people you would shoot too and no innocent people get harmed.
Ukraine would not exist today and/or if it would exist would not have anything to fight back if it wasn't given to them by the rest of the world.
AKA there would be no war. Would that mean they "lost" yes obviously, that is the reality. It doesn't matter if you like it or not. This is not propaganda I dont pick sides. If you think a pointless war is better, well fine you are doing the propaganda for the warmongers out there then.
Neither Russia nor Ukraine is a free democrat country all people participating in this war are either brainwashed or forced to fight and die for people (dictators) who do not represent western values and have no respect for human lives.
By western standards they are both pretty similar and far from what we would call a democracy. They (both) support terrorist put journalist in jail or let them disappear. If you wanna pick a side fine I dont care but no matter which side you pick its not the moral high ground you probably think it is.
No I dont. And you are deflecting and make up things I didn't say.
Also if you want to fight for a cause go there do it I'd respect that.
What I dont respect is people giving money for something thy absolutely would not fight for.
> No I dont. And you are deflecting and make up things I didn't say.
I'm not deflecting at all. You are posting lie after lie.
> Also if you want to fight for a cause go there do it I'd respect that. What I dont respect is people giving money for something thy absolutely would not fight for.
You don't respect people that fight for their lands but you respect uninvolved parties joining in? Why don't you go there yourself and convince them you are right instead of posting on HN?
I just watches a bit and dont see what point from me this even targets.
I never said anything about who has the right to own which land or anything the like. The woman is correct but how do you help her by donating for war? You dont.
The more money people put into this war the more endangered this woman is.
As I said above this is not about picking sides its about stopping to financially support wars.
The vast majority of the people in Russian and Ukraine are against this war.
