I've donated a decent bit of money to Zeus development. I will no longer be supporting Zeus. It's morally bankrupt to respond with derision to a Zelenskyy and others signing bombs that are keeping Ukrainians alive by killing Russian invaders. I'm in Kyiv right now – those bombs are part of the reason why I can even be here relatively safely. They're why people I know got their houses back after the occupation was pushed back; sadly they couldn't get their friends and neighbors back, because there's no fixing being murdered. Disgusting.

Who will we decide is the bad guy tomorrow? Who will governments kill next with our stolen money? How many of our citizens, friends and family will die in the process? Why would anyone stop supporting money and systems that take away government power? The puppet strings are strong.

There would have been no invasion without NATO expansion. There would have been no invasion if Ukraine would have simply allowed the Donbas region to be independent. US & NATO meddling the reason for all of the death & destruction that is taking place in Ukraine.
Strong disagree. The choice to invade Ukraine was Russias/Putin's. Every time infrastructure and civilian facilities inside Ukraine are targeted and bombed, that's part of the Russian grand strategy of making the opposition civilian population suffer. The NATO expansion is just a ploy and a bad excuse to keep doing what Russia has been up to for two decades.... In Donbas, in Crimea, in Georgia/South Ossetia and in Transnistria. Same goal, *exact* same playbook.
Claiming moral bankruptcy while supporting war mongers who sign bombs in front of the media. Not the first time, and not just in Ukraine either.
Absolute Nonesense Jeff, these lies fell apart half a decade ago, this is pure Russian/ Stalinist Propaganda. Why haven't they invaded Finland and Sweden now that NATO is ""expanding"" there? I can't believe a smart guy like you still falls for these 100 times debunked propaganda phrases. Nato is responsible for all the death and destruction there? It's Russia that inavded and shot, bombed the Ukrainians on their sovereign territory, NATO did not shoot and bomb them. This spin is almost incredible to believe, like do you even re-read this sentence? I was someone who liked Putin's political stances up until 2014, still I was following his thoughts on global issues becaus he provided an alternative view on global events in the present as in the past. But once he ordered the 3 Day Special Military Operation (Full scale Invasion) on the soil of Ukraine things changed for me. I started to analyze their narratives day by day and it got clearer that all these narratives fall apart once you realize that everything out of their mouths are lies, have you ever watched their live TV debates calling for the extermination of all ukrainians while they drop gliedebombs on childrens hospitals? The massacre of civilians in Butcha, confirmed also by russia intern sources. The alliance with all remaining communist dictatorships across the world? North korea, The CCP, Maduro, Lula and the Ayatollah Regime, you want to tell us a freedom loving Bitcoiner should support these demonic forces? Not saying the current western world is sane and perfect but the standard of living and the right to free speech, free thought and free movement is far more advanced in western countries then in those authorirarian eastern BRICS States. Russia is ruled by a mob and so is the west, but the difference is in the direct way they fight this war, while Ukraine has adapted new military strategies russia relies on their sovjet system of control and command with an increasingly delusional elite which has lost all touch to the general public and the ground. Corruption runs rampant and moral is declining, criminals are beeing recruited into the military ranks further downgrading moral in the country. This is why Putin and his Psychopathic Elite will loose. They care about their own ass, not the People, the country is beeing looted by the Oligarchs while the Pleb dies in the mud to unhinged drone warfare for Nothing
Russia's demands for "peace" were that Ukraine would nearly eliminate its military, and they wanted veto power on anyone else helping defend Ukraine. Even from Russia themselves. Obviously, Russia was just trying to make Ukraine defenseless for yet another invasion. Ukraine already tried negotiating peace with Russia multiple times; Russia has broken those agreements each time. Peace agreements with Russia are worthless.
Just 2 cents from my side. Everything looks differently from different places. There is a view from North America where people have to pay taxes for the war in some remote place when Russian is actually not a threat until things escalate and ICBMs start flying. There is different view from any place in Eastern Europe where people know what was to be under Tzar Russia/ USSR regime. There is only change in the name but Russia remains the same for them. There are different views in Ukraine and I am sure not everyone finds this war the same way. Everyone has its own view and a right to have it. @ZEUS has its own view and so does @Peter Todd and even though I know shit I also have my own opinions about this was. I’d rather have discussion on that than calling the other people names only because they tend to have opinions different than mine.
Yo Peter, you are fucking idiot. Go and hit yourself with a brick. Two times, just to be sure... And Reply Guy, make copy of this, over and over...
Why the signing though? You can go ahead and "defend yourself" but the mere act of showing off and signing an object that will literally destroy human lives is perverse.

You missed half of the story .. nato expansion, overthrow nazi gov that was killing donbass people since 2014 .. this is a play between US and Russia and puppet Europe gov .. they are dragging us to ww3.. keep bitcoin far away from this shit ..
They seem more like sadists thrilled by the chaos their bombs will unleash rather than freedom fighters, regardless of the cause. The so-called 'good guys' are getting quite comfortable dedicating death lately.
I'm happy to sign Zelensky's bombs. I want Russia held at bay. I'm also happy to sign Israel's bombs. I want Hezbollah held at bay. And nobody _can_ speak for bitcoiners -- and that's by design. Bitcoint/Nostr is a free speech movement bro.

Independent? lol I don't know what US is up to, I'm quite sure what czar is up to. The whole conflict in Donbas was fueld by Russia since day 1. He just want Ukraine back. Ukraine's response to their provocations was equally stupid. Instead of banning (russian) language and exluding the minority from social life (what was later exploited by russian politicians) they should let free market work there. School and "official" language always has been the source of violence. Free schooling and market would not lead to this shit.

You mean the bombs that Ukraine regularly used from 2014 up until Russia’s reaction? Interesting.
The US needs to adopt strategies to deescalate Ukraine war. 1. Demand diplomatic strategy from Biden Admin 2. Increase restrictions on cluster munitions & other indiscriminate weapons 3. Boost funding for humanitarian aid & peacebuilding 4. Prioritize arms control in U.S. response 5. Support international institutions for diplomacy (UN, ICC...) 6. Strengthen oversight on military aid to prevent theft, diversion, misuse Goal = Ceasefire, negotiations, comprehensive peace process
The US can keep printing $$$ for a protracted war that both humiliates Russia AND turns Ukraine into a pile of dust. It's in everyone's interest to find an end.

Nobody can speak for bitcoiners? You’re engaging in the same rhetoric as literally every other chronically online special boy across every platform.
“Increase restrictions on cluster munitions ” How the fuck do you expect to get Russia to abide by that? You're really just listing a bunch of ways to get Ukraine to lose.
You should sign over your coins, not our tax dollars, so we can be kept out of the moral atrocities you support and we condemn.
Stop your Ukro Nazi propaganda. Your country got invaded because it burned women and children alive in trade union buildings and dropped bombs on villages for 8 years from 2014 to 2022. Genocide of 14,000 people. You inflitrate the western governments, nazi grand daughter is the deputy PM of Canada, you got Viktoria Nuland in the USA, all of NATO tax payers give you a hand out while you sell those weapons to terrorists in the middle east and then cry for more money and weapons while our own citizens lack housing and clean drinking water.- The conditions for Ukrainian indpendence in 1991 were neutrality and disarmament which were broken. You can fool some people some time, but you can't fool all the people all the time. I encourage everyone in this thread to look up STEPAN BANDERA the hero of people like this. Nazi scum!
500,000 Ukrainian dead for this failed statist ideology. Peace deal scuttled by NATO in the first 2 months of conflict. Why haven't you given that Bandera government the rest of your bitcoin stack?? Go to the front lines yourself. Warmongering scum.

Thank you. Ukrainians are fighting against war criminals to protect their lives and homes, and to reclaim their stolen children. Their efforts not only keep the murderous dictator at bay but also safeguard their European neighbors. Supporting this fight is in the best interest of the West.
Since this bag of shit can't ban me here I will do a daily post about this piece of shit. He Advocate for war and genocide. He should be banned from Bitcoin community.

Ouch. Who would have guessed that a post meaning to support peace can get such a touchy response? I don't know if it didn't become obvious enough already. In the current accute conflicts opinions have no significance. They are meant to divide. Now, who falls for it?
