Russia is acting like terrorists and well they are paying the consequences. I suspect this will be the downfall of Putin. No loss there.

Do you believe that Russia rightfully should be claiming the land by force?
Zippy@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I believe the believe they do. I won’t be sad when they loose. They are acting like a terrorist country with a government that, while acting like a democracy, is eliminating any opposition negating any real democracy. They don’t care about their people but power. Much like Hamas. So no I don’t believe they have any right to Ukraine. They don’t believe in real human rights.

I just asked what you believe about that specific topic. You said they have no right to it.
But they say historically they were there long before Ukraine was ever a thing and it’s rightfully their land, so they’re taking it by force.
So do you believe that Israel has a right to the land in Palestine due to their historic ties?

No I believe they have a right to defend it due to the desire of those people on it. But furthermore to this, they also occupied and lived peacefully on it at one time in the past as well. Giving them as much right as anyone.
Russia on the other hand has tried to annex the Ukraine region in past but that does not mean it is owned by Russia. So no Russia can fuck off. Ukraine is owned by the people who have spoken. Same as Israel. Palestine has lands and is owned by the people there. They wish to expand thru the use of terror then those engaging in that tactic are subject to loss of their lives. Unfortunately these fuckers have no qualms about using their own people as shields.
Ideologies that use violence to gain power are as legitimate as entities that use violence to remove them from power. After all it is the rules they enacted. Ultimately it comes down to what entity would be the most fair to the people there and represent the majority of the wishes of the people there.
