This method is super inaccurate, since visitors from many countries (including Ukraine) could use Russian as their preferred language. You might probably want to use IP geolocation instead.

Do you really think Ukraine has a reasonable chance of resisting this invasion? It doesn't look like it to me. So what are you offering other than prolonging the agony?
Ah the 'lets roll over for the enemy' group. Yes, we had those here in NL as well when WWII broke out. Let's just say that when the invaders eventually left - as they always do - that group didn't fare particularly well. It's called cowardice, if coupled with actions that benefit the enemy it's called collaboration and is usually dealt with for what it is: treason. I have no dog in this particular race other than tha…
> The weird thing is that if anything the result of this is that NATO will expand, precisely to ward of this sort of idiocy.
And many seem to have forgotten under Putin's propaganda of "the NATO provocations" that the free and democratic societies of the former Soviet Union / Eastern Bloc chose to join NATO after Russia's military actions, particularly after the events of 1991-1996 (Transnistria conflict, Abchasian separatist conflict, "intervention" in Chechnya).
It is the fault of Russian politics that NATO is so close to its borders!

Patreon hosts tons of youtube channels focused only on weapons including purely military ones, how to make guns more effective (aka better at killing), how to tweak ammo to be more destructive. That's one fucked up schizophrenic stance, especially from US company in this specific conflict. Does Trump have any influence there by any chance, given his recent statements?
There is a difference to funding a gun blog or shooting-focused YouTube channel, versus training army personnel and buying guns for them.
The difference is that the former is pointless frivolity, and the latter is, in this case, defending against a literal invasion.

#154Crowd sourced wars; we are living in a world a previous generation would hold up as a dark dystopia.
Re: On the removal of Come Back Alive
#155So essentially the problem is they're sticking to their "violence is bad" policy when in this specific situation violence is maybe not bad.
The problem is there will be situations where it is less clear if it's bad or not. Next step would be all kind of groups trying to get military funding.
That problem is a lot, lot smaller than the problem of people dying in Ukraine as they typed out that statement.

That's all I can think of... I just don't see an outcome where Ukraine receives so much support from the West that it will manage to beat Russia and make it go home without accomplishing any of its goals.... people seem to think that's a possible outcome. I wonder why when Kiev seems to already be surrounded and the USA government (who was right about warning about an imminent invasion!) has already said (correct me…
I'm sure you'd also tell someone being raped to not defend themselves so it's over faster? Jesus Christ, how do you people get so callous? What is wrong with you? who hurt you? What made you give up empathy and humanity? I'll never understand you people.

> For those still looking to help, Ukrainian journalists have recommended several charities and platforms that would benefit from donations, such as the Ukrainian Red Cross Society, Voices of Children, and Revived Soldiers Ukraine. There are also 3,000+ Ukrainian creators on Patreon – and thousands more using other platforms – who would benefit from our support.
Patreon seems to realize that donations are needed and direct people to alternative ways to help. This seems like a totally reasonable course of action given their existing terms of service.

#160You can use bank transfers and Bitcoin to donate directly, see this page: https://savelife.in.ua/en/donate/ It seems that bitcoin donations are pouring in (over $4 million already). You can watch the bitcoin address here: https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/address/bc1qkd5az2ml7dk5j5...
Hopefully they have good security around the private key.
