        It’s Ukraine, without the article. It’s more respectful towards the country.

          Yeah, the “the” is Russian propaganda, intended to strip Ukraine if its sovereignty.

        It is actually Reddit policy about threatening violence and harm to others. But it is silly, because that’s the article title. Perhaps it was removed by automation?

    Zelenskyy vs Putin, 1v1, let’s see how strong and manly this russian sack of lard really is.

    EDIT: Yes, he knows Judo and various other martial arts, but:

    • There’s no video evidence of him being particularly skilled in any of these, especially beyond the level of sports-fighting for points.
    • For the past 25 years, his image has been inflated by a massive propaganda apparatus
    • He’s 71
    • Zelenskyy isn’t

      Zelenskyy vs Putin, 1v1

      If only every war was decided by the two most pompous shitbags slapping each other around, rather than tens of thousands of 20-year-olds getting slaughtered with high explosives.

      Counterpoint: he may not be tough, but he definitely knows how to fucking cheat. We should probably have him fight a polar bear just to be safe.

        Comrade, why would I put Novichok in your underpants?

        Besides, your Polonium tea is getting cold.

    Hell, I haven’t seen any children die and have a strong moral opposition to killing, but I’d take the shot if I had it.

    I guess it would be cool if nation leaders fought in a ring with their fists instead of sending their people to die, and bombing shit. Putin vs Zelensky, Netanyahu vs Hamas guy. Etc.

    Ukraine should have reestablished their nuclear weapons program and received supplies/support from allies after Crimea and again after Putin’s 3 day war was repelled and the nonproliferation treaty under the Budapest Memorandum was violated by Russia. The only language dictators care to understand is violence or the threat of violence.

      The country was ten types of broke before the war even started. You want them to invest billions they didn’t have in a race to enrich uranium they couldn’t access so they could kick off a nuclear war with a country directly on their border?

        If the only point you’d contest is the after Crimea part Ukraine being too poor to do it I’d suggest allies that also signed the memorandum should be helping provide supplies and technical support. I don’t believe any further Russian invasion would have happened under a nuclear armed Ukraine preventing the current conventional war. I don’t think Ukraine owning nuclear weapons would result in a nuclear war because it’s the same deterrent preventing Russia from using them themselves today.

    Fixing the headliner - Zelenskyy: “Seeing children die makes me want to beg for more money from the capitalist powers”
