"ctrl+f whataboutism on this page, please. "

I know, I know, only good propaganda supporting your cause is allowed here by your opinion.

But can you please explain to me, why a ukrainian child is worth more, than a child in yemen? Because they are also dying right now, too and in greater numbers. Caused by "our" allies. Not only in the past - but also today.

I think we need to be doing something about both. Otherwise it is just hypocrisy.

"It's a proxy war, but still a war, with high chances of escalation."

And yes, with every fanatic statement, chances of escalation are increasing. But have you heard of something called "Mutual assured destruction"? Sowjet Union did probably way worse than russia today, but was not attacked. That's why.

"I've not been drafted yet, but the likelihood is becoming higher over time. We are at war, it's just not official yet."

And do you know that you can go there and fight today? Ukraine is welcoming volunteers. But maybe bear in mind, that unlike in CoD, you might actually die there on day one. And it likely won't be heroic. War seldom is, nor black and white, especially not if it is in part a civil war. And you might end up fighting next to actual fascists. Not (only) against them, but with them. Stepan Bandera is considered a National Hero there to many. Google him if you are curious. And then about the Regiment Asow. And then about the ukrainian law, that was targeted against the russian language way before the war. Not against russian propaganda, but against the russian language(and people). Putin is a war criminal, belonging to Den Haag - but the ukrainian side are not made up by saints either.

""official definitions" don't matter."

And unlike in your opinion, official definitions actually matter a lot, because the moment russia attacks NATO territory - ALL NATO forces will react. Not before, no matter how great the lust for war, for people beating the drums of war online.

> why a ukrainian child is worth more, than a child in yemen

This is whataboutism, again. I never said such a thing. I'm more involved in the war in Ukraine because I have personal stakes in it.

This thread, HERE, is about Ukraine. You're trying to make it about Yemen. I have a close acquaintance currently dying of cancer, do you see me making this thread about cancer?

> And do you know that you can go there and fight today?

Yes, I'm acutely aware. I almost signed up. I decided not to, because I do not have military training. Since the attacks, I've been taking first aid and firearm training, whatever I have time for. I intend to take combat training later this year. Don't think I'm sitting idle here; the best thing I can do until I'm ready, is fight propaganda.

"This thread, HERE, is about Ukraine. You're trying to make it about Yemen."

No, I am trying to make it about peace. How to resolve conflicts. And I seriously doubt we can really resolve conflicts, if we only solve some conflicts, but profit of others. Because yes - we profit of the war in Yemen. By selling weapons to Saudi Arabia and buying their oil (and in the case of the US also with direct military involvement). As long as we do that(and all the other shit) - how can anyone take us seriously when we say we care for peace and democracy? That's double standards and hypocrisy, which is the fuel for war and conflict.

"the best thing I can do until I'm ready, is fight propaganda."

So you want to fight propaganda? Why not fight the propaganda, that we are the good guys fighting the bad guys. Because this is not true, if we only do it sometimes and ignore the many times we don't.
