Let's go look at your comment history and check, shall we?

Defending yourself and launching invasions or orchestrating soldiers are two different things

It's not defending yourself if you have an army! What a great take ๐Ÿ‘

it sounds like the government is giving out plans and commanding the army. The government of ukraine and people from ukraine are two different things. When people ask what's the alternative to send billions to the ukrainian government what they need to understand is that people can defend themself even without an authority on top of them playing war games with soldiers and possibly forcing conscript to go on missions

Oh, why did Ukraine never consider magically winning the war by sheer willpower instead of this "having an army" nonsense, smart!

I'm not twisting anything. Context matters, and the context of your post was you throwing a tantrum after around 10 different Lemmy users calling out your bad takes.

If you believe not being drafted blah blah blah

That's not what I said at all, mere moments after you accused me of "twisting" what you said. What I said, louder for the people in the back is BEING UNABLE TO FIGHT BACK IN THE ENEMY'S TERRITORY, BEING DISALLOWED TO RECEIVE FOREIGN AID AND BEING DISALLOWED TO FORM AN ACTUAL ARMY is the equivalent of rolling over and dying.
