They aren't allowed to leave. Stop trying to justify genocide please.

Things would not get better, they'd just charge more to increase profit margins. Haven't you ever lived under Capitalism before?

I'm not sure if Robotyne has completely been taken by AFU or not, but that's not part of the "first line of defense". These are outer/forward defense positions. We aren't totally sure what portion of Russian defense units are manning these forward positions however, and the RFAF have tried to build up fortification around the area, but its not the first official line, which is maybe where people get confused.

If you look at this image, I've labelled the two main lines of the Russian defenses from deepstatemap:

And here I've circled in blue, an example of what portion of the Defense in Depth doctrine, Robotyne and areas where AFU has made gains, these parts of the front are equivalent to:

Rules for thee and not for me!

That's just not true. Ukraine has not even gotten through the first defense line anywhere along the front. Where are you referring to with them knocking on the second line?

Anything that doesn't regurgitate my neoliberal colonialist viewpoint is Russian/Chinese propaganda!! Yes I am not biased or subject to propaganda, I just get my views from reddit world news. /s

Yeah this is the case for any revolution. I've been reading "The Constitution and other writings of the founding fathers" and it's interesting to see all the rhetoric and mental preparation they took before firing even the first shot. The tension was palpable and the colonists were already resolved to fight a war they knew would not end quickly. Most notably over things we just bend over and take nowadays.

The average citizen today does not have the same sense of responsibility and duty to preserving freedom and democracy like they did back then. Sometimes I wonder if people in the west are too soft in resolve and dedication to really revolt in any meaningful capacity, beyond a few days of protesting. No matter what the issue/ideology at hand is.

It's almost like most socialists are actually good people who just want to make the world a better place and don't put profits above humanity. I hope Lula keeps up with his promises and continues to bring Brazil forward. The people there definitely deserve it.
