German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock defended Ukraine’s right to strike targets on Russian soil, saying that Kyiv acts within international law, Anadolu news agency reported on Aug. 22.
She’s right. It takes a special kind of hexbear mental gymnast to think that only one side is allowed to attack the other.
Attacking russians (troops and inadvertently civilians) on russian soil… Why is that still considered defense? Am i right to assume that this is still considered a valid defense or rather a fair escalation of defense because the previous defense measures didn’t successfully deter russian troops from attacking ukraine?
If russians get hit in Moscow, frankly my compassion will be very limited. Especially for russian politicians.
Attacking russians (troops and inadvertently civilians) on russian soil… Why is that still considered defense?
As long as attacks on Ukraine are launched from Russian soil, it’s legitimate target. Don’t like it? Ask your hero Putin to leave Ukraine alone, pay reparations, and accept a DMZ around Ukraine on Russian territory.
I don’t know what a hexbear is, but I think that neither side should be ‘allowed’ to attack another country. And I would prefer a more de-escalating attitude from the green party member Baerbock.
Hexbear is a “tankies” propaganda Lemmy instance, they like to spam threads with childish images, brigade posts to support the fucking CCP, and tell you that since you disagreed with them you’re going to “get the wall” when they start their revolution.
Neither. And I don’t have a solution to what the best actions in this war are. But escalating feels very wrong to me and I am missing more resonable voices than Wagenknecht/AFD discussing this.

And neither is. Russia broke several international laws, including the Budapest Memorandum which it signed on its own free will. Ukraine is not attacking, it’s defending. Ukraine did not target anything that isn’t directly connected to Russia’s war effort. Military installations, military equipment factories, supply hubs, enlistment offices, and such are legitimate targets to defend itself. It’s like kicking the knife out of the hands of a robber.
And I would prefer a more de-escalating attitude from the green party member Baerbock.
Which kind of deescalation? The Georgia 2008 kind? The Crimea 2014 kind? The Hitler Appeasement kind?
Putin is not my hero.
“Attacking russians (troops and inadvertently civilians) on russian soil… Why is that still considered defense?” You literally asked why attacking Russian troops is considered defense.
I wonder what they would consider defence…tickling russian troops? Yeah, that’ll show 'em.
