People on Twitter are pissed when someone mentions Ukraine’s abstention: “they’re a bit busy right now!” As if other countries aren’t dealing with violent conflicts.

Some lemmy lib said "they are being invaded" as explanation. When i asked "By Cuba?" they got slightly rustled.

I mean, it's not even about other countries' conflicts. Ukrainian diplomatic corps isn't in the fucking trenches and I'm sure Ze can find two minutes between his lines of coke to chime in.
