It's not "boundaries".

It's about living in a democracy.

Is it worth dying to ensure your children live in a democracy where they have control over their future?

Or is it better to allow a dictatorship like Russia to engulf your country, and your children grow up under authoritarianism?

It's not boundaries as much as an invading political system you despise.

I was referring to those specific territories Russia claimed to want.

[crazygringo]

Russia wants all of Ukraine. They tried to invade Kyiv.

So I'm talking about those specific territories -- all of Ukraine.

You don't really think that giving up the territory Russia has taken already is going to stop Russia from advancing further?

[johnisgood]

Why did they try to invade Kyiv exactly? To take it?

> You don't really think that giving up the territory Russia has taken already is going to stop Russia from advancing further?

I honestly do not know. If they do, then it requires military intervention.

> Why did they try to invade Kyiv exactly? To take it?

Yes.

> If they do, then it requires military intervention.

Yes. That is the military intervention that Ukraine is continuing to take against Russia currently.

Does it all make sense now? Why Ukraine shouldn't just let itself be invaded, in order to avoid deaths?

[johnisgood]

But does it actually avoid deaths though? One of them will have to stop, if neither does, there will be more bloodshed, that is a given, right? If Putin does not stop, shouldn't Zelensky do?

[crazygringo]

So do you think the world should have let Hitler take it over in WWII? Not just Europe, but an empire stretching continents?

People are willing to fight for freedom, even if they might die in the process.

By your logic, you're saying everyone should just surrender to violent bullies. Most people don't think that kind of subjugation is a life worth living -- not if they can help it.
