I almost feel sorry for these fools, the Americans are consciously pushing them into this
It's strange - you are a Serb, aren't you? And yet you have this twisted, imperialist view of other countries typical for pro-Putin Russians.
Ukrainians aren't fools - they're fighting for the independence of their country against barbaric invaders who had their minds poisoned with hate by Kremlin propaganda. Poles would fight too and so would the Baltics and noone would have to "push" us to do it.
We would fight like lions and one of the reasons why we would fight like that are the Russian rapes.
The news of rapes committed by Russian soldiers on Ukrainian women and children resulted in me remembering more and more of my observations from the discussions I had with Russians. I have some more insight to share, but I have no time for that right now, so I'll share some insight of a Russian woman instead:

My personal experience is typical. In high school, my girlfriends and I rode the subway with drawing pencil compasses in our pockets so we could defend ourselves from men who put their hands under our clothes. We also all knew the "man in the blue jacket" who would sit next to girls on the subway and pull his genitals out of his pants. As a teenager, I was terrified of a neighbor at our country house who told me, "Wow - you're only 13 and you've got boobs like that already!" Around the same time, my dad's drinking buddy would open the door to my room and say, "I wish we had girls like you."
An instructor on a camping trip would follow us to the river to see if he could see anything when we were washing up. When we'd sit on the floor, the teachers in the literature club would pull girls between their legs. When I was in the sixth grade, some high school students tried to force me into the apartment - I don't know what they had planned because I managed to get away. At 23, when I was returning home on a winter evening, a man attacked me from behind: He grabbed me by the throat with one hand and shoved the other between my legs. That time I managed to break free, too.'
"What they do to Ukrainian women and children is truly almost impossible to believe, but
the only difference is that in Ukraine they feel complete impunity. If they thought that they could get away with it here, they'd do the same to us."
