Russian President Vladimir Putin promised Friday to 'immediately' order a ceasefire in Ukraine and begin negotiations if Kyiv started withdrawing troops from the four regions annexed by Moscow in 2022 and renounced plans to join NATO.
Initially I asked a question and you decided to engage by not answering the question, you're now offended that I want you to answer the question. If you had no intention of ever answering the question, why engage at all? You call it bullshit, but of us two I am the only to have played with open cards, I have been honest and forthright with my intention from the get go. I have even answered your questions! Yet you somehow feel that I have deceived you. Are you really so simple as to be able to feel deceived by a person who outright tells you what it is they want?
I'll explain now why it's such a dishonest question. It's a false equivalence that sets the bar for agreeing with an opinion at being willing to die for it yourself. That is incorrect, logically speaking. The bar for agreeing with this opinion would be whether or not I'd be willing to fight and die for MY country if it was being invaded by Russians. That's the core dishonesty of your question, that if I support their cause, I should be willing to fight and die for it myself.
I also wouldn't personally say that every last able-bodied man should fight. Say we have a Ukrainian man whose brother was killed, his brother's wife is disabled, and she has 6 kids. I would have nothing to say about what that individual man should do, and if he chose to help his sister in law get her orphaned children out of Ukraine, away from the war, and take care of them, that's his honorable choice. That brings us to the second dishonest part of your question, it sets the implied bar at a point where if one supports a country that continues fighting for its freedom against a violent aggressor, that we must naturally support the notion that every individual in that country should fight as well. It's taking a macro level question and trying to apply it to every individual; attempting to turn a nuanced opinion into a black and white one by disregarding the contextual realities at the individual level.
So once again you fail to answer the question lmao. Now you're trying to dance around the premise, pricking holes in it, but this too you cannot do. You're talking about "supporting the cause", vague nonsense. You also seem to think that I asked "if you want a country to win in an argument on the internet, why don't you go kill yourself in the war?" Are you dyslexic? Did you learn to read in that weird way where you recognize the shape of words instead of phonics?
I didn't ask "if you support Ukraine..." I asked "If you think the war should continue, despite the fact that the people no longer want to fight it, why don't you go volunteer?"
You keep making up new things, try to read what I have written more slowly. Maybe ask an adult for help.
You say that I imply that "if we support a country, then every individual in that country should fight as well." No, buddy, just no.
I'm happy you've put on your big boy pants and tried your hand at rhetorics 101, but you really need to engage with the words you're presented with rather than the words you'd like for me to have written. If you think a war should continue, despite the fact that the people of the nation you claim to support no longer want the war to continue, then I think it makes logical sense that you go volunteer. I know that if I supported a war to such an extent that I argued against peace, despite the fact the people I allegedly "support" (agree with online) do not want the war to continue, then it would be because I saw this war as something more important than simple territorial warfare, since I think it's cool and good to throw unwilling people into a meat grinder for it. Since I am a "supporter" of this war to such an extent, then I would volunteer. I'm not, but you are, so why aren't you volunteering?
Sure, I support the "ukrainina cause" Slava Ukraini! I also think they should accept the peace deal because the ukrainians do not wish to fight anymore. If you think they shouldn't, despite the fact they no longer wish to fight, then you are, in fact, not supporting their cause. You are supporting more dead ukrainians. If you think this war must continue despite the fact ukrainians do not want it to, then you must think it is of such a moral importance, why then do you not also think it is your moral imperative to go fight for it?

Your dishonesty is embedded in the question.
