I don't think any side really truly "wins" in wars as people have been masterfully manipulated by their leaders to believe that they are fighting for a good cause. When said people who join the military lose their lives, there cannot be any "winners." It's a huge loss and needless waste of oftentimes young lives. We need to transcend away from wars and stop lying to out people and ourselves that such evil acts are done to "fight for good."
I wanted to point out something I found to be quite interesting though. Why is it that now after Zelensky has received BILLIONS in foreign aid (which is a key phrase for money laundering) does he want to establish diplomacy with Putin? 🐟 🐠
That's sad, though. The soldiers who died sacrificed their lives so that others could stay alive, keep their freedoms, and their stability. Not to downplay the soldiers who managed to stay alive through conflict, but I think we must remember all of them and cherish their stories.
The entire Ukraine/Russia situation has been fishy from the get-go. It's such a shame because so many innocents have died for literally no reason whatsoever and the world watches and picks a side as if they're watching a sporting event. It's so weird and so wrong on multiple levels. Further, I think Putin has been unfairly villainized in all of this because when you really look at other wars, The USA has also committed many crimes against humanity, too. When will Bush et al. stand trial? The world is sadly corrupt and clearly one-sided.
The regional message board (RMB for short) is the space within the Rejected Realms (TRR for Short) that players and nations can post messages, hold conversations, debates, all sorts! It is free for any member of the region, or members of embassy regions to post on, so long as they stay within the rules.
One notable thing of the typical discussion on the RMB, is that it is within the rules. Despite TRR being a region where you can't be ejected, there are still rules that you must follow to partake on the RMB, and in the region, in good faith.
The Rules, the cornerstone of RMB etiquette. They are:
Stay within NationStates rules The NationStates rules apply to every Regional Message Board. Non-compliance will incur the wrath of NS Moderators, who can delete your nation. Please become familiar with these rules.
Do not call for the overthrow of the regional government The regional government is democratically elected, and they are limited on what they can do by the constitution, which is located here. Every important position in TRR is democratically elected, so the best way to ensure you have a say in the government is to apply for citizenship, and partake in elections.
Do not make three or more posts in a row Posting many times when no one has posted in between can disrupt conversation, makes it difficult for people to follow the RMB, and is spammy. If you have more to say use the edit button.
Do not post hateful content Hateful content is anything with the intention of insulting, or otherwise causing offence, to another person. This includes, but is not limited to, homophobia, transphobia, racism, sexism, and the promotion of hateful ideologies (such as fascism).
Keep all messages Safe for Work NationStates is a site used by all ages, and thus everything posted on the RMB must be appropriate. Any post which doesn’t will be immediately suppressed.
Don’t quote suppressed messages They've been suppressed for a reason, and you're likely to be suppressed if you quote them. Quoting a suppressed message and rewriting it as "snip" (or similar) is acceptable, but we recommend you do not engage with suppressed posts at all.
Be respectful While debates are allowed, flaming and personal arguments are not. You are also at risk of violating site rules. Be respectful of others with alternative views. Always attack the argument, not the person behind it.
Don’t rehash past drama Try to avoid complaining about your previous region, the reason they ejected you, or your past and how you ended up here. We don't care about your past drama - TRR is the place for a fresh start, not be plagued by issues of the past.
Think before you advertise Advertising polls is fine, however advertising other regions or alternate offsite platforms for the region is strictly prohibited and will be suppressed.
Stop when asked If a Regional Officer or an NS Moderator asks you to stop, you must stop.
If you break any of these rules, you are liable to be suppressed, but it's relatively easy to stay within them, as they're aren't hard to follow!
People who very frequently break the rules may be put on Blanket Suppression. For information on Blanket Suppression, please read the dispatch below page=dispatch/id=2005358
While not generally too harmful, one word messages aren't great as they clog up the RMB, interrupt and disrupt conversations, and entice others to follow in their footsteps and also post one word messages, so don't do it. It doesn't make the RMB interesting, it could discourage members from making posts and prevent others from having an actually decent debate.
Please provide an English translation if you're posting in other languages on the RMB. This is because English is the only language understood by all of our RMB moderators and it's hard to tell what is and isn't breaking the rules with other languages.
Doubleposting is allowed but discouraged, especially if your messages are short. Try to use the edit button instead.
Trolling and spamming comes into the jurisdiction of NS rules, so don't do it. Posting hateful comments, spamming messages, quoting and vastly changing someone's message (beside deleting it in its entirety) is not acceptable at all.
Alongside this, please do not engage trolls or spammers on the RMB, leave them alone to avoid being caught in the crossfire, if you quote or engage them there is an increased chance that you could get punished for quoting, encouraging or just speaking to them.
The news is also exaggerating everything and spreading a lot of misinformation, which doesn't help anything and it seems like their more concerned with demonizing russia then anything. It's like they're using ukraine as a mean to weaken russia rather then actually care about ukraine.
Russia isn’t gonna win they can’t handle a country as small and poor as Ukraine. There is no possible way for the Russians to win. No amount of oppression or apartheid or genocide would be able to make all the Ukrainians live under Russian rule

The soldiers believe that they’re fighting for freedoms and honor and whatnots.
Master manipulators, remember?
This is the world we live in, and sadly the way it will stay. Humans are terrible.
You're correct, but this particular type of crime (digital) is easy for bots to notice as it involves keywords like "bomb" or "explosive". The threat of a bomb/domestic terrorist would give them reasonable suspicion for a warrant and oftentimes seizure/arrest, and because they're using the internet, their location would be known within seconds. :p
Do you understand that what is happening in Ukraine can be called a war with a stretch. The troops of the Russian Federation are trying to prevent civilian casualties, do not start a massive offensive of the main forces of the army and the destruction of cities. The operation has no aggressive intentions, and even more so the genocide of the local population. The purpose of the operation is to eliminate the regime that threatens the interests of Russia.
Anticipating your "counterarguments". Most of the news about the shelling of Ukrainian cities is fake or the result of the actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
And besides. They are not going to oppress Ukraine and break its "iron" will. Ukrainians think a lot about themselves and pretend to be martyrs.

it's either chinese or greeks. Like there is many inventions that come from ancient China like paper or gunpowder without which it would be impossible to achieve a lot of things. And when it comes to Greeks they influenced european culture and are considered one of most knowledgeble and advanced civilizations. Other than that Persians or Romans might fit it as well since Persians laid foundations for multi-ethnic and religiously diversified empires in next centuries. Rome on the other hand advanced infrastructure in the entire Mediterranean sea which not only helped trade but also helped to spread certain ideas or religions faster ( i'm talking about christianity).
1.) That's not how it works. Nobody has the right to just walk down the street shooting everyone in their path. Must be some sort of Russian propaganda they teach you over there. That or you're deliberately lying. 2.) No, gun dealers cannot sell automatic weapons to civilians. Only gun manufacturers can sell automatic weapons, and even then only to militaries and defense contractors (perhaps a couple more places I missed.) Becoming a gun dealer, by the way, is not easy. You have to get a class 3 license, which is highly and strictly regulated by the ATF. You also have to pass a gun safety class, read up on the many federal laws surrounding guns, and state laws. No store can legally sell fully automatic weapons. That is highly restricted and not at all allowed to be sold to civilians under any circumstances. If you asked a gun manufacturer to sell you a full auto machine gun, they'd laugh at you hysterically, hang up the phone, and probably report you to the ATF, which would put you on their radar too. Might even convince them to deny you any gun ownership at all.
More importantly, the National Firearms Act is about the importation of firearms, rather than the sale of them. Machine guns and miniguns are covered in it, but again, only gun manufacturers, defense contractors, and militaries can get those.
Actually what is truly Ukraine did to Russia so they are had been attacked, does the blow up Russian's World Trade Center?, Owning weapon of mass destruction, or are Ukrainian are destroying Russia's lifestyle?, more of that what now everyone see, is Russia definitely doing an aggressive action toward other nation, without any legitimate reason.
