  If they came with a bunch of beach chairs and vodka, the mood would be a lot different. Instead they came in with tanks and planes and artillery.

    I want to send the army to New Zealand with k-pop and beer and throw a rave in Auckland with free veggie snags for the locals.

      Ukraine is UN’s proxy against Russia?

      Not the wildest take, really.

        Ukraine is THE main force opposing Russia directly. USA flunked, NATO flunked, everyone proved pathetic except Ukraine.

        I think by definition it’s not a proxy war if you consider Russia to be the main aggressor in the conflict.

        However it is clear there are two global sides here, and lots of other countries have financial stakes in it:

        en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_military_aid_to_Ukrain…

        en.wikipedia.org/…/Support_for_Russia_in_the_Russ…

        But this is less of a proxy war than we’re used to in the Middle East with the US fucking with Russian allies or Russia fucking with Western, with neither the US nor Russia ever trying to kill one another. This is just Russia straight up attacking a neighbor trying to annex more land.

        Annexing land isnt very proxy war. It’d be more, “hey you guys sell oil for US$ now and forever but we’re leaving”

    I guess in the sense that others are supporting Ukraine after it got invaded by Russia.
