Also interesting how they keep claiming that Ukrainians want to fight and that’s why the west has to prolonged the conflict, but when faced with the reality that’s at odds with these claims they show zero empathy for the people of Ukraine.
What I’ve found helpful in making these types of people question their bloodthirsty beliefs, or at least backtrack on them IRL, is to ask them what they would do if they were Ukrainians in Ukraine now, or if they had a home or loved ones there. Even the most rabid ones usually stop after hearing this, if anything because they see how deranged their stance is. I doubt it would make random libs online back down, since shame doesn’t play a big role in anonymous spaces, but still
Very curious how the only Ukrainians we hear say they want to fight are the ones…not fighting.
Admittedly, those in the trenches are probably not giving many interviews, but if they were so eager to fight surely the rest should be clamoring to enlist.

It’s “to the last Ukrainian”, not “to the last willing Ukrainian”.

This is also a less cliché way of asking, essentially, “so why aren’t you on the next flight over there to volunteer?”
Yeah, people tend to have a bit more self awareness in person.

They fight in the posting trenches.
Exactly, seems like all the cheer leading for the war comes from people who fled immediately.
