    I suppose it’s considered acceptable for the Polish people to suffer like that for the sake of the state interests of Poland and The League of Nations, but personally I disagree, which is why I want the war to end. I personally don’t see how continued fighting is meant to benefit the average Pole.

    Because dictators use the new land for continued invasions while exterminating the non compliant population. War is a better condition to be under fighting for freedom, than the conditions of the Holocaust and complete despair.

      Putin isn’t doing the Holocaust. In the case of WWII, you can point very clearly to a reason why stopping Hitler was in the class interests of the people of Europe. I never claimed to be opposed to all war, just to wars that aren’t in the interests of the average person. It’s kind of telling that you have to jump to a completely different conflict from 70 years ago instead of just making the case for the current conflict, or at least comparing it to something from recent history.

        The mass murders and rehoming of Ukrainian children to Russia is where all the rubber meets the road here. He’s not killing the privileged class of Ukrainians, they’re long gone. He’s genociding the working class that’s forced to stay and get bombed into paste.
