Hope to see you on the frontlines mr Zizek. Or is it just a case of sending others to war.
Fuck it, I’m dodging any draft, if I’m going to die, just kill me yourself rather than sending me to the frontlines to be killed by someone else.
A pacfistic stance and thinking got us into this perdicament in the first place.
The moment a russian soldier set foot in ukrains terretorry NATO should have amassed its troops, issued defcon one with all the birds in the air, launch tubes open and issued an ultimatum to Putin to withdraw or face the consequences.
Pacifism equals defeatism, which in turn is actively and deliberately assisting the enemy. Since the war began, all of the “peace at any cost” -cries from whatever comfy ivory towers the various European left parties have built have basically come down to “just let the Russians take whatever they want”. The fact that some people still think appeasement works is absolutely baffling, especially since that’s what got us here in the first place – hoping that Russia would respect any treaties it signed itself.
The only peace there can be is one dictated solely by Ukraine. Of course what’s much more likely to happen is for the various European leaders to chicken out and force Ukraine to accept some bullshit deal that redraws the borders and aquits Russian war criminals, in some vain hope that it would keep Russia from escalating yet again. Just like they did in 2014.
I wonder, what the Ukrainians who get killed every day think about this warmongering.
