I hope Russia will leave like in Afghanistan, finally ending the war.

Well it did take 10 years for them to backpedal in Afghanistan... I hope here it happens sooner.

That's right. Let's hope the situation solves much faster!

The tenth anniversary of this war is next year.

Well a good offense is a good defense. I’m not surprised that this is happening at all and I don’t think anyone should be.

Had there been a time in history where the world sided with aggressor?

It began many days ago but he doesn't want to admit because they were losing so far.

He only admitted it now because they started winning.

Why would he have announed the counteroffensive? It would only have helped the Russians. He's declaring it now because it is obvious. And because the offensive is making gains as you say.

Because you expect them to tell the world and rhte russians when they are attacking?

A common pattern among Reddit alternatives has been that their initial population has been some particular group that has been driven out of polite company for some reason. Voat had the Incels and Trump supporters, for example. Lemmy happens to have been started by authoritarian fans. The difference is that Lemmy is open and finally the "normal" Redditors are coming. So I expect them to flood out the niche folk soon enough.
