The reason I am interested in the Ukrainian people is because I am European and volunteer in refugee relief. I am confronted with the human cost of this invasion on a very, very regular basis. The lives of 33 million people has been violently uprooted by the decision of a foreign state, and the only socialist stance to take in that regard is clear condemnation. It is that simple.

My question was: how does the violence of the invasion help the self determination of Ukrainian people?

I’ll be more explicit: why not simply acknowledge that the invasion is not only unlawful, but deeply immoral – and completely contradictory to the self determination of a people?

Right, so how does the full scale, violent invasion by a foreign state help the self determination of both Ukrainian peoples?

Question: do you believe in the self-determination of Ukrainians?

Depending on your hometown, that’s a terrible philosophy.

I am pretty sure much, probably most, of the US’s deserts will remain desert. But otherwise I agree: deserts are beautiful and not just empty. But hey, the US is addicted to energy and as long as that’s the case this is probably the least damaging way to generate that energy.
