Ukraine Asks PlayStation, Xbox, and All Game Companies to Block All Russian and Belorussian Accounts - News

I'm just saying, video games. It's crazy..

that is a very off-topic example - it is an internal matter of China, within their borders, therefore it is up the Chinese to solve it

This is not about supporting his actions, nor i'm a Putin bot I hope they get to a solution, and even that he gets defeated or overthrown from the russian govermente, then that he gets punished for making this worse than it is, but i see some comments encouraging "sanctions" that are practically to "take it out on people that has nothing to do with the problem" because Ukrainians are suffering, and also i'm commenting on asociated things because there seems to be a lack of more information about the problems that have been plaguing the region and that are linked to the conflict, that pertains obviously both countries since they are both neighboring, but also because the joint history of their territories and populations.

As the other user has pointed in his other downvoted or now deleted comments, even if they aren't as clear, looks like no one is aware of parts like the civillian ethnic russians that have been persecuted and killed for the past years in some regions of Ukraine, how the russian language has been criminalized in entire cities where the population does not speak Ukrainian, by using groups such as the Azov Battalion, C14 and the armed militias of rightist parties such as Pravyy sektor and Svoboda that operated freely in Ukraine with the approval of the post 2014 governments and of course, US and the NATO.

And as other user also said "Why punish regular citizens? Painting an entire country for the actions of their dictator is just as bad.", and that's certainly right, that's why I said the same about the USA, do their people need to be held accountable for the attrocities their governments and armies have commited for more than a century now?, "USA isn't an angel but even if you put togheter all the interventions they aren't as bad as Putin", don't make me laugh, just look at how NATO and US have bombarded countries like Serbia to hell, in the name of human rights and freedom, killing thousands of civilans and not only the armys of those countries, not only not "fixing" anything, but also making things worse :

“After NATO planes killed thousands of Serb and ethnic Albanian civilians, Bill Clinton was revered as a savior. Once the bombing ended, many of the Serbs remaining in Kosovo were slaughtered. NATO’s ‘peace’ also produced a quarter million Serbian, Jewish, and Gypsy refugees.”

"In 2014, a European Union task force confirmed that the ruthless group that Clinton empowered by bombing Serbia committed atrocities that included murdering persons to extract and sell their organs. The chief prosecutor of a special European Union task force, declared in 2014 that senior members of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) had engaged in unlawful killings, abductions, enforced disappearances, illegal detentions in camps in Kosovo and Albania, sex**l violence, forced displacements of individuals from their homes and communities,"

That is the supposed "defense" function the NATO have fullfilled since its founding, treathening and destroying other countries, yet there are people that still defend the "fact" that it is to protect themselves and promote "peace and stability", but hey what's to argue abut, the retard of Putin just went out to make the idiotic move of invading, instead of trying to find a better solution for the people of Russian origin or identity mostly in the Eastern sector and Crimea, and now probably all of the restant countries of Europe would join NATO, some of us are just hoping that neither Putin nor the NATO commits the idiocy to start to lauch their weapons at global scale.

Russia, or any country really, has no right to tell any other country what alliance they may or may not join. As far as I know, NATO itself is a defensive alliance and cannot drag its members to an offensive war. Additionally, Russia has nuclear weapons and (what everyone thought was) a strong army, so it has no need to worry about an invasion from NATO or anyone else.

However, there is a very high barrier to Russia attacking any NATO country, so if Ukraine managed to join NATO, it would largely prevent a Russian attack on Ukraine. Obviously Ukraine is not a NATO member, and we can clearly see what happened.

This is really all about Russia not liking Ukraine slipping out of its influence sphere, which Ukraine has the right to do. Attacking is absolutely not an acceptable response to that, and neither is even threatening to do so. (Well, there are probably more motives as well, such as trying to push the limits of what the West can tolerate, but the main one should be keeping Ukraine in Russia's sphere of incluence.)

But you conveniently decided to leave out the part where it said that of those 13,000 that have died, 'only' less than 3,500 were civilians, which probably makes the rest combatants - who are expected to die in a conflict anyway (as sad as it is). I know because I looked up my information on Wikipedia.

Also, you're painting a picture of the Ukrainian army being neo-nazis, but your only concrete claim to support it is about a fairly small unit that was, uh, formed in 2014, most likely in response to Russia's actions (if I had to guess the background).

It's pretty obvious you either suck at either gathering information, presenting information, or you have a pro-Russian agenda. If it's about you sucking, I'm sorry for my harsh words, but seeking out the truth is more than looking up just a few words that support your stance, and you should seek to improve your skills.

If it's an agenda, well... Well, I find it hard to believe that a moral person would support a war that's likely to result in the same amount of casualties as the past eight in less than two weeks, just because someone didn't like them slipping out of their sphere of influence. But maybe that's just me and it's actually OK to wage war with probably tens of thousands of casualties in the end, many more hurt, and millions driven from their homes, all for international politics.

During times of peace, I doubt you could get enough volunteers to build up enough know-how unless there are very strong incentives. During a crisis, there probably won't be enough time or resources to train a huge number of people that have mostly never received any training. It's an interesting thought though, and with proper incentives could possibly even work.
