There is no way Russia lets off nukes in Ukraine or around this issue. They would have done so already if they were that stupid. It would be completely mutually assured destruction, assuming their nukes even work. Not to mention Russian civilians are downwind from Ukraine anyways. Radiation fallout would poison the entire region. Even the use of a "tactical" nuke or chemical weapons would be a red line that NATO woul…

This is exactly what the problem is. If you don’t agree with the mainstream “save Ukraine” mantra, then you “fell for Russian propaganda”. The only accepted opinion is to fight at all costs. Nothing else is accepted. How is this democratic? I’m not for Russia, nor against, but don’t support of killing even more people. If there would be freedom of speech, then you could discuss this openly and publicly. I believe in…

Nobody is stopping you from having your opinion, or voicing it, so stop blathering like you're being censored.

Your privilege is showing -- or are you just used to being agreed with and getting your way?

As for the cost -- the expense is human lives and untold misery. Which is the unacceptable cost of every war. Which is why bullies use it as a tool, in hopes that their foe will submit because the cost is unbearable.

It's brutally unpalatable and inhumane to continue with war. But the alternative is worse.

BTW last week Putin made it clear that no "peace" at the current borders will be permitted and that their original goals remain, which is (at a minimum) the merge into Russia of all the Kharkiv, Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia, and Kherson oblasts, the elimination of the gov't in Ukraine (and presumably its replacement with a puppet regime), and no EU membership and certainly no NATO protection.

So basically 1/2 the territory of Ukraine, including its most productive agricultural and industrial lands, the bulk of its Black Sea coastline, and it become a client state.

That's peace?

I'm sad to hear this to be honest. Wasm3 is (was?) an awesome Wasm interpreter that was ahead of the rest in terms of performance (about 3-5x slower than native, and about 3x faster than the typical Wasm interpreters). I hope Volodymyr the best as he tries he keep things afloat with the Russia invasion in Ukraine. Hope the war will be soon behind us.

Agree, it is one of the best WASM interpreter! Even better than some of the runtimes we can get here and then Performance is very good and architecture and beauty of the code is definitely impressive.

Well, we have sort of the same debate in germany, where people want to praise Hitler, because he build the Autobahn and because he ended mass unemployment. But it is still Hitler we are talking about and consensus is, the holocaust weights stronger - and Bandera was literally involved in it all, so for me the same metric should apply. And about Asow - what I can say for certain is, that we have some very hardcore Neo…

You are clearly not arguing in good faith. Comparing Bandera to Hitler is utterly ridiculous, and I am Jewish myself, so I'm not exactly standing in line to protect UPA/Bandera. Regarding Azov, I am native Russian speaker with many friends from Ukraine, there are legitimately orgs/groups that you can call out for being open nazis, but if all you can do is comment on Azov in 2023 then you are simply delusional or misl…

"Comparing Bandera to Hitler is utterly ridiculous"

I was comparing the line of argument.

"but if all you can do is comment on Azov in 2023"

And I can and did a bit more, but there is probably no point in further debating it.

The explanation: > I regret to inform the community that since my house was destroyed by russians who invaded my country, Wasm3 will enter a minimal maintenance phase. At this time, I am unable to continue the development of new features. However, I am committed to keeping the project alive and will actively review and merge incoming Pull Requests. I deeply appreciate your understanding and support during this diffic…

I really hoped someone will help get rid of Putin from inside RU by this moment (I believe there are plenty of who may not necessary love him). EU should really put more cash on table to help UA.

Nationalism is one hell of a drug. And perhaps naive of us to assume that the war in Ukraine is a product only of this one man and his ideas and/or party. Unfortunately Russia seems unusually united in this "operation." EDIT: don't usually complain about downvotes, but WTH people, what did I say that's controversial? Seems some people think this is somehow pro-Russian? It's not.

The Russian sociopolitical culture is very imperialist, which is no surprise given that the country is one of the few remaining colonial empires in the most traditional sense (i.e. the metropole milking vast occupied territories), and it cannot really exist as a single entity without this kind of politics.

That said, leadership does matter. These kinds of ideas find support in Russian society when they are put front and center, but without someone to actively do that, people just grumble about "them not respecting us as they used to" etc.

At the same time, Putin does not represent the most radical manifestation of this ideology, either. Someone like e.g. Strelkov could truly go all in on "gathering the lands", as Russian historiography usually describes re-occupation.

It is not our war (I’m not Ukranian, nor Russian). I understand that it is bad and unacceptable that Putin does this and I also want to stop it, but not at all costs. To me enough lives were already lost and I don’t see how can we win. Maybe this is unacceptable to many people, but I prefer the interest of my own country, my family and friends. I’m open to help, but again, not at all costs. I don’t see how is it in our interest to be at war with Russia (I’m from Europe).
