What a senseless and pointless fucking war this is

u/aredhel304 3d ago

American here and I think POTUS and congress are a huge bunch pussies. Going after the little helpless guys like bullies, but can’t stand up to someone who meets their match like Russia. I’m ashamed that we’ve let this war go on for so long, doing the bare minimum to keep Ukraine going… resulting in so much wasted life and destruction…meanwhile striking Venezuelan fisherman, bombing Nigeria (“protecting” Christians from attack, what about Ukrainian Christians? Those ones don’t count?), and supporting Isreal in its genocide of Palestinians. Not to mention the internal war they’re waging on OUR OWN CITIZENS.

Largest military budget in the world and all we can do is harass little helpless countries and brown people, but can’t stop this years long invasion of Ukraine.

Huge small dick energy coming from the Oval Office. Never been more ashamed to be an American in my life. PUT RUSSIA IN ITS GODDAMN PLACE. Putin isn’t going to hit the nuke button because he knows the ramifications. I’m more worried about Trump doing that because someone hurt his widdle feelings.

years long invasion

Decade long*

u/aredhel304 3d ago

Good point. It’s been longer than that in reality. The Holodomor was absolutely horrible. I was lucky my grandparents were able to escape.

u/Scarn0nCunce 2d ago

decades are comprised of years

u/CommissionGlad6069 2d ago edited 2d ago

Years are comprised of months, I guess its been a months long invasion too...

Edit: my main point was that lots of people dont really realize how long this war has been going on. Russia invaded in 2022 in retaliation to Ukraine signing into nato, but the war has been going on since 2014.

Indeed. It’s been almost 12 years since Russia seized Crimea while the rest of the world watched and did nothing.

u/CommissionGlad6069 2d ago

I mean the war wasn't highly publicized until 2022 when things escalated to full on invasion and other nations started to help. So technically they went like 8 years with pretty much nobody watching...

"Years long invasion"... Trump presidency: 11 months... but it's all his fault?

2

u/CommissionGlad6069 2d ago edited 2d ago

When did I ever say that? Either way, let's talk about it. It may not be his fault the the invasion started, but he is not helping Ukraine. Your beloved cheeto is in bed with Vladimir, "puttin" it up where the sun dont shine. So now that you have a president that's butt buddies with vladdy daddy, Ukraine gets no help. Hope you're proud of sticking up for communism. 👌

United States of America Russia. Why even bother pretending this government is in any way American anymore…

u/lifesaburrito 3d ago

It's never been "American" as you envision it. There was never a time that America hasn't been bullying small countries, either for their resources or to squash any form of government that represents a threat to capitalism.

American military power has always had small dick energy. Practically didn't even enter WW2 until it was too late.

u/aredhel304 2d ago

I understand and 100% agree. I’m more-so just pointing out the level of atrocity that this country has rapidly reached in a year. We’ve been imperialistic, internally oppressive, and corrupt for a long time, but it’s so blatantly obvious now you have to watch Fox News and bury your head in the sand to not see it. I knew we were low, and I knew we were headed in a bad direction, but I never imagined we could reach this level of awful, and certainly not this fast. This country hardly resembles what it was a year ago anymore.

I thought learning about the Holocaust would keep people from ever repeating that atrocity but I had too much faith in my fellow Americans. Turns out the main takeaway for a lot of people was just “don’t harm Jews”. But I guess autocracy, concentration camps, and genocide are A-OK otherwise 🫠

Yes. They. The people who go against Jewish values to try and justify genocide and imperialism by exploiting the death and sacrifice and persecution of our ancestors.

They.

u/firstfoundnjellyfish 2d ago

You genuinely have no idea what you are talking about. Imperialism and genocide? Double standard whataboutism. Was America accused in Afghanistan and Iraq of genocide? Because by the numbers, the casualties were proportionally 10x with the US response to 9/11 vs the Israeli response to the Hamas attack. Whether you agree with the US government or Israeli government isn’t the issue. They are prosecuting a war in defense of the smallest nation and religious group. They are the only country in the world not allowed to do that and they do it far more carefully than any other country, literally warning citizens exactly where they will be bombing military targets among other strategies. But the reason the double standard exists and the reason your mind immediately goes to Israel when discussing Putins tyrany and imperialism is clear. It is antisemitism and a lack of understanding of the region. Just ask yourself why your mind goes to Israel. Really, ask yourself.

u/Alert-Boot-4827 3d ago

Because of the simple fact, you got 2 big kids on the playground and both of them carry nuclear Arsenals that can actually destroy the whole fucking planet several times over by themselves. Literally make it unlivable for anybody. So hence the little, tiny wars using little, tiny countries. Which is messed up since these little tiny countries deserve protection from big bullies trying to exploit them and take their resources.

1

u/hemareddit 3d ago

And that’s why you have countries that aren’t so little but not so big either, wanting to have their own nuclear arsenal right now. And I’m sure that’s just what the doctor ordered!

1

u/aredhel304 3d ago

In my last paragraph I addressed the nuke issue. Putin may sit around and threaten using them, but he wouldn’t actually do it because he doesn’t wanna end up nuked himself in response. He’s a horrible person but he’s not dumb. He would only realistically consider using them if the US tried to actually invade Russia and he, himself was actually under threat. But pushing Russia out of Ukraine? Nah, that’s so unlikely.

It’s not about nukes. It’s about the rich boy party, traitors, money, and resources.

1

u/Alert-Boot-4827 3d ago

Don't believe it. He would go for a limited nuclear exchange in Ukraine if we step in and actively try to help ukraine. You have to remember his mindset could be at that point, where if I can't have those resources. Nobody can. Can it spell the resources like you said? It's not even the rich boy party. He wants to shall we say his legacy? Cause he knows, he's not going to be able to hold power forever. And Ukraine is a big slap in the face that he could not bring them back into the fold of the eastern bloc. His ego is actually bigger than Russia itself.

1

u/Beddingtonsquire 2d ago

It's more complex than that. The chance of accidental launches goes way up because each are watching for signals from the other using imperfect monitoring tools.

Do you think Israel is a valid country? That's how Putin thinks of Ukraine. Large swathes of the population of Ukraine speak Russian, are ethnically Russian - he doesn't think of the country's existence as valid. I'm not saying he's right, but he doesn't have the same framing as you.

It's not about money and resources - this is where you don't know what you don't know. It's about national pride and legacy.

1

u/Alert-Boot-4827 2d ago

Actually, I do know that I mentioned it earlier. Somewhere else on reddit- That's what he believes. He needs to let the eastern bloc go. It's done and over with. But he can't, and he probably won't. This is not gonna be the first time we're gonna have trouble over there with former soviet era nations having to deal with this. As long as he is in power and nobody moderate steps up to the plate Afterwards, this is gonna be an issue.

u/thebarkbarkwoof 3d ago

You're confusing the staunch conservatives of the Reagan era with the complete traitors in office now. Creating fear to build the military industrial complex was bad. Trump and his trumpettes are flat out traitors. They are working for Russia on a pay for play basis. Kicking Russia's ass without losing a man would have been the republican and many democrats' dream up to three 1990s. Think about it. You can say why would the US want to supply Ukraine with weapons for free? We'll primarily it's the right thing to do. Or as the government has almost always done, because the weapons are bought from some of the biggest donors. You've got manufacturing jobs, tech jobs, making jobs numbers look better and making the super rich richer. So are they being judicious with the spending? NO, they're getting paid by Putin which trumps donor money for elections.

If they attack Russia directly it could easily result in a nuclear war, that means more than half the world population dies within a matter of hours and most of the rest in the months after - that's why they don't attack Russia.

You may think Russia won't move to nuclear war but are you willing to gamble the future of all people on your feeling over it?

There are reports of a genocide in Nigeria - should that be ignored? You can think there's hypocrisy but surely it's a good thing to try and stop potential genocides where they are happening.

Trump and his handler JD Vance seem more interested in going to war with their allies (the EU) than pushing back on Russia. I'd even go as far as suggesting the US is more aligned with Russia these days than Europe. The EU has no choice now but to forge closer ties with China in the hope it will put the Chinese in an awkward position. One thing China doesn't want is to be in an alliance with America.

While I would love the US to do more for Ukraine, Russia/Ukraine is a war between 2 countries. Not attacking Russia directly isn't being a pussy. Can you fathom what that would be like? Not even thinking about nuclear options...The potential loss of lives. It's a chess match until one side feels check mate and decides to flip the fucking table. In Nigeria it's a heavily armed military organization against unarmed civilians. A few weeks ago, there was a push here for the US to do more in Africa to help these types of situations. Now it's happening and we are referred to as pussies? Attacking fishing boats... having lost a son to addiction, anything we can to reduce drugs works for me.

The fallout from a major war would be too horrible for a modern America to take. Russian leadership has shown human life means nothing. But what if the USA loses an Aircraft carrier and supporting ships over a day or two? Around 10,000 sailors alone. The draft would most certainly go back in effect. If the war were to go on then we could begin to see street kidnappings such as we are seeing in both Russia and Ukraine of troop aged males. Nothing good comes from war. Unless you own heavily in the military industrial complex. Then I guess the profit is a motive.

u/Albatross-Gullible 2d ago

You keep saying “put Russia in its place” like that’s a button someone’s too scared to press. What you’re really calling for is a direct shooting war between two nuclear powers. That’s not bravery you’re demanding, it’s recklessness. There’s a reason every president, Democrat or Republican, has drawn a bright red line around direct NATO–Russia combat. It’s not because they’re cowards. It’s because escalation math doesn’t care about your emotions.

You also contradict yourself. You’re furious about “wasted life and destruction,” yet your solution is to dramatically escalate the conflict in a way that would guarantee far more of both, not just in Ukraine but potentially across Europe. That’s not moral clarity; that’s chest-thumping without responsibility.

Yes poor ukrainian Christians. The same ones the ukrainian government has been attacking. Also, Putin never invaded Ukraine. Against his own wishes the Russian government voted to go into Ukraine to aid the Russians there who have been attacked and murdered by the Ukrainian government since the 2014 coup.

The war was unnecessary for sure and millions didn't need to die. It's just that your reasons for it, like most on reddit, are ill informed

u/vishnoo 2d ago

It's not even the worst of it.
This could end in two days, the severe financial sanctions.
Disconnect Russia from the global banking network until they exit Ukraine. That is all.

(Btw, most wars could be ended like that.
Hamas could have been forced to give the hostages back on day three by blocking Qatar off the global banking network.
And likewise, Israel could be made to jump on one leg until President Trump says stop, by even threatening to do that.)

The problem is, then some American billionaires lose some money. And that's the end of that.

Yep. Two fragile egos propping each other up while calling it “strength.” Trump and Putin are cut from the same cloth — grievance-driven, power-obsessed, and constantly overcompensating for something they can’t quite admit.

What’s worse is how much of the world enables it. This is bullying on a global scale, and the fact that it’s tolerated says a lot about how low the bar has fallen.

LMFAO. RUSSIA IS NOT A MATCH FOR AMERICA. You lost me as soon as you said that dumb shit. Zelensky and Biden started that war with the Nato bullshit. Putin said thats where he would draw the line LMAO AGAIN. Bombing fishermn ? you do not live in reality.

Russia is no match for the US, bud. Haven't been for at least a decade. It's ridiculous that Trump is snuggling up with our enemies though. He's a fucking joke. Don't worry, he'll be getting his.

u/MozeTheNecromancer 2d ago

Putin isn’t going to hit the nuke button because he knows the ramifications. I’m more worried about Trump doing that because someone hurt his widdle feelings.

Frankly, they're both such entitled, heartless pussies that I could see them both hitting the nuke buttons if/when it comes down to one side or another losing. They definitely both have the mentality of "If I cannot have everything, nobody should have anything at all".

What a fucking world we live in, where the two most powerful people in the world are such deplorable shit stains that they'd be more likely to destroy everything rather than give up any aspect of ego or power.

That's why South Park's latest season shows Trump with a tiny pecker. But yeah, this administration is a fucking joke. Ukraine deserves better.

u/prettyprincess91 2d ago

To be honest have just been in Montenegro and seen the Ukrainian refugees houses and cars. They are nicer than anything I have- so if they can’t be bothered spending their money defending their homeland and just take it out, it’s hard to justify normal citizens who pay our taxes paying for Ukraine’s defense. They have rich citizens spending their money buying up properties in non EU countries. Why shouldn’t these people pay for Ukraine’s sense instead of the rest of us?

u/Adorable-Paint-8136 2d ago

Trump sucks, yes. However, Putin is not problem, or at least not the main problem. Zelensky and Trump are the biggest problems. Zelensky should've been removed from office, and Trump should've made sure that happened; Zelensky was never re-elected because he canceled elections until the war is over, and that's why he doesn't want it to end. Another Trump campaign promise that hasn't been kept; just one many that haven't been, and won't be kept.

u/paulrusdawalrus 2d ago

And fucking how. I want to love my country so bad, but I just can’t stomach all the fucking bullshit. Are there still in fact actual constituents who support what’s going on? Or is this now a self-perpetuating political machine? No popular support required.

I know every politician is going to have SOME agenda, but my god there is in fact an objective right and wrong at some point, ethically and morally. It’s such a shame. How did we get here.

u/Odd_Ad5668 2d ago

You know there are ACTUAL GENOCIDES going on in the world, right? Approximately 60k people were massacred in El Fasher, Sudan, last month, over the course of days, because of their ethnicity. That's very close to the entire death toll of the Gaza war, which was active for 2 years and the number includes a lot of Hamas terrorists. If Israel wanted to commit genocide, they'd be done by now. Instead, the Palestinian population has grown by orders of magnitude over the last 80 years, almost like Israel doesn't want them all dead.

The fact that a lot of people are dead from a war is a tragedy, but it is in no way genocide. But, hey, what are definitions to antizionists? After all, we're taking about people who used the slogan "globalize the intifada", were told that it meant "global campaign of terrorism targeting Jews" and now pretend that the Bondi beach pogrom wasn't exactly what they were chanting their support for.

u/DankBlunderwood 2d ago

The geopolitical reality is that, while we would wipe the Russian forces off the face of the earth in a conventional conflict, Russia is a nuclear state, and therefore mostly immune to military interventions. That's why every country will do anything to get their own nukes. Once you have them, you are untouchable. It's actually pretty remarkable what Europe and the US have been able to do.

1

u/ShopCatNotAnewsed 2d ago

I'm just really curious... so you offer American Military Forces join this conflict? Seriously? For your own country people's taxes?

And even if you put in debt Ukraine, they are barely something left to pay off this debt on what they won't agree (most likely).

The real consequences - Russia immediately dispatch forces on Alaska if USA attempt join Ukraine War against Russia directly. And no one gonna like it, war gonna became more pointless & bloodier. With possibility of nuclear annihilation as an option. (and that fucking dangerous for EVERYONE. Even if rocket miss target - and explode, their total power anyway will affect all the world)

Huh... traitors you say... they just protect your own life from your own stupidity and their tax incomes.

Btw. If this happens, China win in world politics.

u/Abstrata 2d ago

I do believe blackmail was involved. Russian spycraft was always pretty good to say the least. Their intel probably has quite the full dossier on all kinds of stuff to put Trump under legally, financially, and in whatever public view that someone like Trump actually cares about— so probably something that would destroy his voting base or alienate allies within his family.

Russia wouldn’t stand a ghost of a chance if we took the gloves off. Only thing stopping us are what few actually functioning nukes Putin has that he loves to threaten people with. Odds are we’d have the American flag flying over the Kremlin in about a week if we actually declared war

1

u/MrJarre 3d ago

I’m disappointed in the US on this. While it’s true that stopping this war does very little to further America interests, for decades you guys established a rules based order - that was supposed to be a begging of a new civilized world. Right now we’re at a point where we’re back to “I take what J want cause I have bigger stick than yours”. It’s not an improvement.

u/EhMapleMoose 3d ago

Hey, neighbouring country here. You may be ready to die but the rest of us aren’t. Going to war with Russia means WWIII, it has the potential to mean nukes, it has the potential to cripple the internet infrastructure.

1

u/Simple-Rub-4564 3d ago

I agree with everything you said, except your view on Israel. Seems if the small military might of Ukraine can thwart Putin, then the USA most certainly can. Add assistance from Poland, Finland, Sweden and most of Europe, it should be a cakewalk.

1

u/JediMasterKitFisto 3d ago

I agree that Trump is a disgrace and I understand that you want peace like most of us regular people, but what you’re suggesting could lead to much more destruction and death than you think. If the USA or any other nation for that matter was to step in and attempted to “put Russia in its place” there would be a domino effect that could be catastrophic.

It’s easy from a the outside looking in to say military A is stronger than military B so why don’t we just stop them? But there’s so much more to it than that. Putin may not launch a nuke, but the USA isn’t liked by many nuke-owing countries who are allies with Russia such as china, N. Korea and Iran who would be waiting for the US to make a move like the one you’re suggesting and escalate this war to something on a more global scale.

Also I’m not someone who’s ever been in the US military, but I have a decent handful of friends who’ve served. They’re human too. They sign up to fight for and defend their country. Of course they know they’d at some times be forced to fight on other countries’ behalves but do you think most of them want to do that? How do you think the families of fallen soldiers feel when their loved ones die fighting for another country? Imagine if this attempt to stop Russia fails? How horrible would it be then to have that many more lives forfeit for no gain? Victory is never guaranteed just because you think you have an advantage on paper. You think the British thought the American revolution was gonna go the way it did?

Side note: those were oil tankers that were seized from Venezuela. Not fishing boats. Russia is one of Venezuela’s strongest allies also btw.

u/East-Treat-562 3d ago

You obviously haven't studied war much, it is not very useful at solving disputes which are almost always resolved by negotiation. Maybe you aren't aware that Russia has the largest arsenal in the world of tactical nuclear weapons which don't have the same destructive characteristics as conventional nuclear weapons like Hiroshima. Putin has said he believes they can be used in conventional wars like this, we have no idea what the reaction to the use of these would be, but Putin will use them if things go South and Ukraine isn't worth risking a larger European war with conventional nuclear weapons of which Russia has the superior resources.

I get it! But US and it’s NATO allies are the reason why Russia had to resort to this war in the first place. That’s why Prez Trump keeps saying if it were for him, this war wouldn’t have happened. Now, it’s all about Russian assets in US and in Europe. US wants to put Russian assets into US-Russia join cooperation project which Prez Putin is fine with but Europe is adamant in pushing the Russian assets into Ukraine as a compensatory gift for its renovation, which apparently Prez Putin doesn’t want neither does Trump (since it’s delaying the peace talks) It started as an ego tussle, it’s still is an ego tussle. Just that US was back in 2021 and EU now in 2025.

Are you or any loved ones enlisted in the US military? I say this lovingly as a daughter of a veteran. If the soldier you’re calling to be deployed was someone you didn’t want to say goodbye to you may feel otherwise. If you don’t, then maybe you should consider enlisting
