    The Ukrainians are not “joking about” when it comes to the war, as it’s an invasion of their homeland by a much larger nation with immense casualties. I’m not Ukrainian, but I had a friend who was, and I would like to ask you to please stop treating this conflict as a silly game and telling them to “stop coping”.

    It is rude and disrespectful to all who died in the war.

      Wow… you are really delusional.

      Or to quote Zelenskyy (prefacing a joke told to Letterman): “The times are tough, but people keep joking.”

        Zelensky said that in the context of how the Ukrainians are keeping their spirits up in spite of Russian aggression. He did not say that people can joke about the war or the casualties on either side.

        Those affected by the war have lost their family and friends, it is not in your right to make these comments.
