A common pattern among Reddit alternatives has been that their initial population has been some particular group that has been driven out of polite company for some reason. Voat had the Incels and Trump supporters, for example. Lemmy happens to have been started by authoritarian fans. The difference is that Lemmy is open and finally the “normal” Redditors are coming. So I expect them to flood out the niche folk soon enough.

It began many days ago but he doesn’t want to admit because they were losing so far.

He only admitted it now because they started winning.

Why would he have announed the counteroffensive? It would only have helped the Russians. He’s declaring it now because it is obvious. And because the offensive is making gains as you say.

Well a good offense is a good defense. I’m not surprised that this is happening at all and I don’t think anyone should be.

Had there been a time in history where the world sided with aggressor?

the whole world from Arabia to India to China stands with Russia. Z.

Basic maths to find out that Pro-Russia is more widely held take than Pro-Ukraine.

Because the west invades countries first, Russia doesn’t. Georgia invaded South Ossetia, and Ukraine invaded Donbass.

You should get a refund from wherever you took basic maths.

I stand corrected.

I hope Russia will leave like in Afghanistan, finally ending the war.

How will that happen and how will that end the war? Ukraine wants Crimea which is 100% Russian.

Well it did take 10 years for them to backpedal in Afghanistan… I hope here it happens sooner.
