Is Ukraine worth fighting for?

As everyone knows there is a nasty war of attrition going on in Ukraine and Ukraine tragically is losing about 10 soldiers for every 1 soldier that Russia is losing. That makes the war unsustainable but still the question remains "Is Ukraine worth fighting for". I honestly don't care which side 'wins' or which side 'loses. I simply prefer that the war stop immediately. It should never have started. That aside I was able to share a baptism event on the North Saskatchewan River here in Central Alberta. I traditionally associate Ukrainians with the Orthodox or Catholic tradition but this was a Pentecostal service. There were about 100 military age Ukrainian refugees at the service. I didn't get much of what was being said as the service was in Ukrainian led by a pastor who left Ukraine 2 years ago. Most everyone there had left in a similar time frame. Everyone I spoke to said that they did not want to return to Ukraine. Oh and most of them had their wife and children with them. Interesting times we live in. I wonder what it must be like in Poland and Germany where many more Ukrainians are taking refuge.

Everybody in my neighbourhood is siding with Ukraine against Putin. Nobody around here is siding with Putin.

@BijouPleasurette nobody around you has any understanding as to what is going on in Ukraine,

@ididntknow Regardless of what is going on, our first instinct is to defend the victims. So we've sided with Ukraine for that reason.

@BijouPleasurette And what made you decide that Ukraine are the victim
BijouPleasurette · 36-40, F
@ididntknow Because Putin attacked them.

@BijouPleasurette And what was happening in Ukraine from 2014, or don’t you like to look at history,
If you saw a playground fight, and the person being attacked was on top of the aggressor punching him in the face, would you just come to the conclusion that that the man on top was the aggressor and not the victim, or would you put the news on, for them to tell you who the aggressor is and who the victim is, and not think for yourself,

@ididntknow I don't think anything significant was happening in Ukraine that long ago. This feud they have with Putin has been going on about a year and a half.

As for the playground fight, I would ask witnesses what happened.
