Watching a country willingly de-populate itself

like when George Washington and the Americans fought back against the British attackers?

like when the British fought back against the Nazis?

"oh why didn't they just give in to the attackers, all that bloodshed could have been avoided!"

Good point.

Whether one likes or hates Zelenskyy, the point still remains that Ukraine was attacked by an external party. Even if someone tries to come up with ‘reasons why,’ it still doesn’t take away from the point that Ukraine was attacked by an external party.

Sometimes people just want to fight back. Maybe they are silly, maybe they are misguided, maybe they are patriotic - but sometimes people stand in the gap against a larger force and say ‘come take it.’

It often doesn’t end the way movies like to show it, with the silly/misguided/heroic fighters winning.

But sometimes people just have to fight for their homeland.

whether or not their leaders are ‘good’ or ‘bad.’
