I do not support war.
Being a Gandhian (people who follow Gandhi's philosophy) I believe in non-violent methods. But that doesn't mean that the people of Ukraine should not defend themselves when a agressive dictator has entered their country and has started killing people.
@MegaDrive has all the right to think of ways to protect the innocent people. Someone might not like the ideas but saying that helping Ukraine defend themselves will only prolong the war is not logical.
So, in your opinion the tiny country of Ukraine should give up and surrender their freedom?
Do you mean to say that they must give up, bow down and become slaves?
"I also find it naive to think Ukraine can win a war against Russia."
I think Ukraine can win the war and it is the responsibility of every country and every human in this world to help Ukraine win this war. Be it creating diplomatic pressure on Russia or by sending funds to the government of Ukraine to help them.
Yes, I'm naive to think that Ukraine can win this war. Yes, I am naive to think that Ukraine must be strong and respond. Yes, I'm naive to think that Ukraine should be free and Russia should respect their freedom.
I am sitting in a restaurant and having my morning coffee enjoying my freedom while our friend @Priyanarc and many others are scared for their lives.
My eyes filled with tears when I saw Priyan crying with fear. She calls me her brother and I think you don't know @double-u how it feels to have a friend, a sister living in a country where there are bombs dropping and guns firing.
I feel helpless. There's nothing worse than feeling helpless.
When we 'naive' people see our loved ones getting hurt we react and that's what @MegaDrive did. He reacted to the news in a way he thought he could help. Hero DAO is a good idea but we shouldn't buy drones but donate the money to the Government of Ukraine and help them feed and defend themselves.
The Government of Ukraine will have a better chance at planning how they want to spend the money.
Decentralisation and crypto has given us the opportunity to make a small contribution and I think we must go ahead.
Lead the way @MegaDrive and we can think of ways to help the innocent.
He has all the rights to think buying weapons 2 support Ukraine is right ,but not as the Co Founder of Blurt . If he wrote that as private Person ok his opinion(what he already did i knew).
And as @ciderjunkie already mentioned if a private Person or a Private Organisation is getting active involved in to War ,this can be interpreted as a form of aggression and can lead to the war spreading.
If Blurt gets involved active into war Blurt could also get attacked by russian Hackers . If i thought Blurt was under Attack when 1 Person attacked the chain on X-Mas 2020 then i can not imagine what russian Hackers could do .
Putin and the Invasion of the Ukraine and this War must be stopped 4 sure and the people need all the support they can get but Supporting humanitarian aid like the red cross is the better way as a private person. Military aid in the form of weapons and soldiers is in the hands of states, countries and nations.
I agree and @megadrive took back his statement as a Blurt co-founder and also expressed that those were are his alone.
Well said.
I've replied elsewhere as I also know somebody in Ukraine. They will fight with or without our help. They will die to protect their freedom.
Ukraine has prepared for this since 2014 and Russia has massively underestimated their resolve. Can they win without support from the West? No. Because it's a war. Nobody wins. To think that somebody wins a war is naive. Everybody loses.
Thank you for standing up for me Imran, I will remember it always. You fully understand my position, all I wanted to do was kick some ass while people and our users are suffering, probably should have thought it through a little better but the intent was to help the innocent. I too believe that Ukraine needs to win at all costs to ensure a free world for our children and not a world where any country lives in fear they might be the next one conquered.
If Ukraine gets conquered I don't know how I will be able to sleep at night. I stand naive with you!
We never said UKRAINE dont need help we re all in same BOAT when we talk about a help to UKRAINE... but the Ways are diffrent. I served already in diffrent Wars as a Soldier and all i can say AGAIN is if we ACT in a kind of AGGRESSION it will lead into more DEAD People. You say you want to help People but on the other you want to kill people it doesnt match up with all ethic logic.
Whats about maybe RUSSIAN USer of Blurt which are right now as Soldier in Ukraine not becasue they want the war, becasue they are soldiers and have to be there... So you want to resue one User but on the other one you kill one , does this seems logical to you??
Right while i write these Words the first MEETINGS about a act of freedom started in Ukraine and what if your Drones now get active and believe me using such drones will END a peace talk instantly. Do you want to be the one why this PEACE TALK ended??? You really dont know what your Activites will lead to. War isnt a RAMBO MOVIE!!!
We all want the SAME , we want PEACE and FREEDOM but we need to watch the ways we can GO to reach it.
i Cry with @priyanarc becasue her tears are REAL, her fear is real, but instead of using drones that might even get hacked and then used against those they're supposed to protect.
@megadrive i will use your WORDS ... "all I wanted to do was kick some asses" i understand this feeling but HATE in this way will not help. HATE just gets more and more , we need to find a humanitarian way to do good instead of killing more people.
WAR dont know sides.. All war knows are Dead People and believe me Blood doesnt change the colour for diffrent Countries its always same...
Did you Served ?? Do you have an military Education?? Are you Involved into War mechanics???
No ?? then believe me you dont want to be involved..
As more if you want to Use BLURT as Instrument to go into a war dont forget the Thousands of lifes you risk which arent up with your personal opinion to go to war....
If you want to use BLURT to be active in a war which isnt yours you risk the LIFE of every user on this Chain ! Not only YOURS, you want to fight... then get in your car believe me the Ukrain looks for Support they will give you a gun and you will be able to fight....
But please dont involve humans into a war they dont want to fight...
It doesnt matter how we call our GODS on this planet but all of em tell us same... DONT KILL OTHERS!!!
Fact 313 or more ukraine civilians killed, 14 children dead. Russia has superior military, must Ukraine not have any weapons just incase they kill a russian soldier? That’s crazy.
Analogy, kid is being bullied at school, your way of thinking is let the kid be beat down to the ground let’s not intervene with more violence, then the rest of us will be safe.
In any event i have already detatched Blurt from my Blurt post and furthermore the peace talks announcement came after my post.
Actually.
We do not need more weapons.
Jesus Himself is fighting with the Ukraine. God is protecting the people of the Ukraine.
God has already defeated Putin.
Jesus already destroyed 15 Russian Airplanes from the sky.
Watch the News.
I can’t find the news on the planes, how were they taken out of the sky? By natural forces or by weapons?
It’s a mystery. The army says they were shot down. But other reports suggest they are falling out of the sky. Friendly fire ? Pilot error ? Suicide? Ghost fighter ?

Ok so i’m interested now, there is a column of Russian tanks coming to destroy a city they don’t care about civilians, as seen with tanks driving over a car on purpose. Peace talks arent on the table yet as they werent when I put out my post. What’s the plan to save the weak in this scenario that doesnt involve defending with weaponry?
Seems every country is sending in arms of some sorts
Guess they are all doing wrong yeah? Cause I’m sure not all their citizenz 100% agree they should send.
