Banned from telegram with no explanation.

I made a comment on one telegram channel about Ukraine. And almost immediately got permabanned from telegram.

Like wth. Why so heavy handed? They could have just banned me from the channel, why entire telegram?

Is there any recourse other than getting a new phone number?

Never even heard of someone getting perma'd on telegram so it was probably something against their TOS or OP isn't telling the whole story.

Yeah. In my experience when people complain about being banned for "no reason" from a platform but don't post the actual comment that got them banned, it's because it would be blindingly obvious to everyone why they were banned if they actually posted it.

Explained in detail that fighting doesn't make sense and they should just surrender.

Without swears or anything.

Got it on top of the thread.

Got many upvotes and likes too but I suspect people reported it or something.

they should just surrender

big lol. what a braindead take. would you surrender your country, your way of life, to an invading force?

See I have a different take on this.
Russia is a lot more flexible than Israel with Palestinians or Americans with Iraqis.

Russia sees Ukrainians as their own people and give them Russian citizenship, resettle away from warzone and provide social services like pensions and medical and all the rights.

They never really cared to meddle with Ukraine language or culture, so most of the way of life is really unaffected no matter the ruling party.

Imo this war is completely dumb and zelensky should have avoided it.

OMG you can't be this dumb right? Russia has literally tried to erase the Ukrainian people and culture multiple times in the last century or so. They're trying to do it right this very moment.

Go crack open a book or two.

Your take is complete brainlet nonsense. Should Canada or the US invade each other? What about Germany and it's neighbours, that worked out great last time. Fucking idiot.

It is undeniable that Ukrainian treatment is very fair. Look would US be giving out us citizenship to Iraqis or afghanis - there would be no Taliban. But Instead I believe it was all stick.

Ukrainians get citizenship and are not limited in any way - they can just leave Russia if they don't like it. It is true - their movement is not limited nor do they stopped at the border.

Canada/UK situation - I recommend checking this out: https://youtu.be/8QpXlzlFKPU.

But in short UK was very much a US geopolitical rival up until WW2. Britain lost its geopolitical status as a result of the WW2 and was heavily indebted and had no choice but to dismantle the empire. So Canada and so is Mexico - up to this point they are not in the position to threaten us. They are carefully watched as well, not allowed to build up the military, not I think they are in that position.

Would Canada try to join a hostile military alliance ( like Ukraine with NATO), I guarantee you - US would flatten it.

Ukraine has been warned things would develop the way they developed, it's just the comedian guy in charge is an idiot. He clearly inexperienced and now it's his fault so many people are dead

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Bro we told Russia to fuck off. Once with our revolution and a second time when we voted in Zelensky.

Don't try and take away our agency and ability to govern ourselves. 🖕
