To Ukraine, obviously.
Yes, yes exactly.
Alright, that's a fraction of a point there. Yes, technically Ukraine might be wary of these activities, and some individuals most certainly are. Reasons exist, as you point out.
But you cannot ignore the context in which that happens. Ukraine is being invaded. Cities are occupied, children get stolen, missiles smash into civilian buildings. In a situation like this, a 3rd party possibly spying on you is pretty low on your list of priorities. You very much would care more about the invader's planes in the sky, not the supporter's planes in the sky, as if your life depends on it, because it does.
In order to care about your privacy, you first and foremost need to stay alive, and be free. Even more so since that same 3rd party provides the most help to fend of the attacks, which are the actual, very urgent, problem.
It's like you are drowning and worry the rescue diver might not share your political beliefs. Yes, in a different situation that might be a reasonable concern, you maybe don't want to get so close to this person. But if your life depends on it, priorities shift a bit.
If your concern is cities being occupied, human trafficking and civilian casualties you should be concerned a lot if the guys who have been doing this for a century keep stalking you. You cannot ignore the context in which israel bombs palestinians, turkey bombs kurds, saudi arabia and egypt make people disappear and the west literally endorse it. If you are fighting for justice and freedom these who don't endorse it are not your friend and will never be.
You are aware Ukraine asks for help, and more help? It's weird how you spin this as stalking.
In which way would Ukraine be better off if they refused outside help? They accept more attacks getting through, more people being killed and the chances for victory diminishing, but they gain the moral high ground, some kind of purity, or what exactly is the deal?
Are you somehow suggesting the west providing the help which was requested is worse than Russia invading by force? This is so weird.
Apple makes iphones in china, china sells weapons to russia. Companies in USA are funding China who arms russia, weird isn't it?
Not so weird to me personally once you understand that they do it for money and that they don't or ever gave a fuck about people dying in useless wars.
Ok wow, what a groundbreaking insight. Yes, that's pretty much common knowledge. They don't do it out of the good of their heart, but because it suits their own motives. So what?
You suggest to refuse to be rescued by a rescue diver because it's their job, and they do it for money? Again, what's the alternative? More bombs destroying your cities, and killing your citizens.
Ah no, we should not look at the invasion and the actual war going on, but rather be afraid of allied spy planes helping out. Big brain time.
If the rescue diver is a famous kidnapper you probably don't want to be rescue by them. Stop making stupid examples and stay on topic. The alternative is to turn on your brain and stop advocating for one dictatorship to take over another.
Following your replies is like watching a turtle hump a football. Just turn away, no one is having a good time.
