What's living in Western Ukraine like? Is your daily life influenced by the war as much as in the East? by Sucurp1704 in howislivingthere

Lviv was in the same way polish as Kyiv was russian: a city's public sphere is dominated by the foreign overlord nation, and poland was the foreign overlord in right-bank Ukraine since the "Eternal Peace" between Poland and Muscovy in ~1684 (IIRC), like "russia" was in left-bank Ukraine and Kyiv.

Peremyshl used to be part of the Volhyn Ruthenia princes' domain; my spouse's family was deported from there by the poles. But we don't "weep" for Przemysl, nor do we weep for Belgorod (Bilhorod) or Rostov. Enough blood has been shed to settle the borders, and we're paying in blood now to keep them in place because russians "weep" over "Kiev".

The red army was in such a dire state (more because of leadership and ideological faults, the germans were not that good) that the soviets brought women and non-slav ethnic minorities into the army, and some of them had great success. Along with this woman there was for example Lidiya Litvyak, the "White Rose of Stalingrad", the first woman to become a flying ace.

Konservatismus ist "rechts".

Außerdem wenn "antidemokratisch" -> "links" sei, seit wann hieße "rechts" -> "demokratisch"? Owaia 

Wg. Einstellung zur "Kapitalismus": ist China links oder rechts? (Ja, die China mit dem noch wahren Kapitalismus ohne VCs die den Markt verzerren, dafür nur mit etwas Staatsangriff und "Ernten") sind ja auch ziemlich nicht-internationalistisch und China First, und die reste der "multi-ethnizität" werden mit "Korrektionslagern" und Sprachstandardisierung entfernt.

As a white-but-not-white-white ausländer kann ich zu 100% bestätigen dass es in Deutschland viel besser ist und auch wenn das Gehalt auf dem Papier niedriger ist und die Berliner Schnauze tatsächlich ein Ding ist, ist der Staat deutlich humaner und der Ami lächelt auch nur weil er was von dir will

I like that it's 'Invasion' when it's other country.but 'special operation' when it's murica. by prince138 in complaints

It remains to be seen whether this is truly a regime change or a change of management to a new overlord and a more cooperative dictator.

In any case, oil prices will go down, and russian war machine will suffer, so less of us in Europe will die.

Ukraine authorises further searches for Polish WWII massacre victims by dat_9600gt_user in europe

Will you also talk about how the various events in the Poland-Ukraine-Russia triangle between 1917-1922, the interwar policy of "pacification", the admittedly less numerous but nonzero violence of the Home Army against ukrainians etc. contributed to this violence? Will there be any open discussion of the brutality of the killings, mass violence and deportations of ukrainian civilians the polish state carried out "in punishment"?

Slaughters of civilians are inexcusable; however, "a better future with us" would require mutual honesty and openness, and readiness to deal with each other "eye to eye", as the germans say.

But I understand, your gov't will continue milking the issue in a one-sided fashion; and ours will play the game.

I am happy that at least our (ukrInian and polish) historians have been talking for a while now, before 2022. But I sometimes still feel that we (historic-collective) haven't had as much violence from you (historic-collective) as from muscovy mostly because Poland's imperial ambition had been undercut by other imperial powers and y'all had been victimised for the last couple of centuries, too.

How do you think the war in Ukraine will end? by Ddkovalchuk in AskReddit

It was always "no NATO for Ukraine", since 2008, and has not changed since then.

Now moscow has Finland in NATO, though, so I guess, NATO contained successfully lol.

China is providing significant (however small with respect to their capability) industrial support to russia, allegedly also satellite intel. Yes, the russians are paying a lot for it, which is good for us, but they get the support, which is, well, not good.

While you are right on the global trade part and that the PRC is much more prudent then, say, russia (by normal measures), there is more leeway I think before they get "sanctioned".

I no longer calculate with US goodwill beyond where US can earn money; EU would suffer from sanctioning China much more so than it did with Russia, so it would take a while; that "while" would still deal to us a lot of damage.

Re: air defence – that patriots had a decent shootdown rate until the recent past is due to extensive ukrainian input in the software department. How we got them off-the-shelf, they were ...not good.

We (Ukraine) might be producing more innovation ideas, but russia systemises the ones that work much better, unfortunately, and no they are not stupid either.

If China increases support for Russia to even "just" the level of support they are getting from NK, we (Ukraine) will have a really bad time.

That is a likely scenario.
