A coordinated online campaign has reportedly encouraged users to alter fuel station information on digital maps across Russia, creating confusion among drivers.
The activity involves changing station statuses by marking locations with available fuel as empty or showing closed stations as operational.
Supporters of the campaign claim the effort is designed to disrupt travel decisions, increase uncertainty, and create additional pressure around fuel availability.
So, in addition to supporting their conscription, you’ve decided to speak for them.
Russia might be, but they’re also the neighbor, and will continue to be there. Unless you can start to address security concerns of both the EU and Russia, your only other choice is going to be the destruction and subjugation of one or the other. Do you intend to send others to fight (since you don’t yourself) to kill hundreds of millions of Russians?
The United States. The same entity that pushed this proxy war, btw.
Trust me, it’s painfully obvious that you have no problem seeing Ukrainians die in the trenches for the small benefit you think will accrue to you.
The fun part of this is going to be the blowback - because the Ukrainians are also well aware of it.
You’re just willing to demand that countries you don’t live in continue to fight and die for the war you won’t.
In which case you should, if you had any shred of integrity, shut the fuck up about deciding to put others into the hell that is a war zone.
Otherwise, take your label of chickenhawk and wear it with the shame it deserves.
I think, they were writing about people mangling the fuel maps.
Otherwise I’m not sure what are you getting at, everyone should shut up about the war because on the front line they have better things to do and not on the front like they have no right to talk, is it?
Let’s call to mind the original comments: you mentioned that the people messing with the maps had plenty of time. I replied “Makes sense to use that time to further disrupt the enemy’s populace and hopefully sabotage domestic support further”. That is a comment on their activities and I really don’t think it’s a far stretch to assume that they view Russia as an enemy.
I’m not sure how to parse this. “If you can’t find a way to end hostilities, you’ll be enemies forever”? You’re aware that there are other options besides total annihilation?
There are plenty of reasons peace would be beneficial for all involved. It would mean an end to throwing conscripts into a meatgrinder of imperial ambition and a sovereign nation’s defiance thereof. It would offer opportunities for exchange of culture, knowledge, goods. It would allow a mutual enrichment of human experience.
So yes, I hope for a solution to those security concerns. Chief of these, right now, is an ambitious megalomaniac trying to seize by force what isn’t his to take. I should hope it doesn’t take hundreds of millions of deaths to stop him.
The United States are also a threat to our sovereignty, true. Not violently, at the moment, but economically, technologically and through plain old political corruption. They’re also an imperial power with plenty of blood on their hands. We can chat about the middle east at length if you’d like, or Venezuela, or Europe. You’ll find me just as ready to condemn them as I am here to condemn Russia.
But in this context, they weren’t the ones annexing Crimea, nor starting a “special operation” that escalated into open war. They didn’t shell Ukrainian cities, abduct children or continue to send soldiers into the meatgrinder.
The US backed Ukraine for entirely self-serving reasons, but they didn’t start this war.
This blood is on Putin’s hands alone.
What benefit? There is nothing to be gained for me in this war.
No. I’m not willing to demand anything of Ukraine. Whether they want to defend their country against a war of aggression is their choice to make.
The only demand I make is that the aggressor cease their aggression.
Put whom where exactly? Ukrainians into Ukraine? Russians into land that doesn’t belong to them?
