Russia and Ukraine flashpoint

The Western media is so dishonest in its cheerleading Ukraine to fight to the last man.
Russia has cut off access to the sea.
Planes delivering aid to Ukraine will be shot down. Send aid by land and Russian troops will stop that.
Russian troops have the cities surrounded by tanks and soldiers with rocket launchers. Backed by air force strikes and missiles from Russia.
Ukraine must save the losses and surrender.

We think so differently!

One thing Joe Biden said in his State of the Union Address this week is true: Russia will never win the hearts of the Ukrainian people. They can take the cities, but the war will never end until they leave. That's just a fact. The only question is whether and to what extent we're going to support the Ukrainian people's resistance.

This is not simply a fight for Ukraine, it's, as the thread title suggests, a flashpoint for the future of Europe itself. There's no way in hell Russia will just stop marching after capturing Ukraine. That's why Moscow is already threatening other European countries right now!

Matter-of-factly, I've been hearing about the international legion Ukraine has recently set up and have been giving the idea of joining serious consideration. Honestly, I have nothing and no one to live for anyway. I feel like that's one way I could make my life have some kind of meaning at least and if I die, I die. It might be a losing endeavor, but it's a cause worth fighting for anyway. It's not like anyone will miss me. I'd been thinking of leaving the U.S. for a while now anyway, but this, the outbreak of most serious war we've seen launched on the European continent since the Second World War, provides the most compelling reason to I've seen yet. Right now, I like and respect Zelensky and the Ukrainians -- the real leaders of the free world today -- a lot more than Americans and our leaders.
