It’s a very small gesture, but yesterday I changed my profile flag to the Ukrainian one.
What if everyone did that?

What if everyone did that? The people of Ukraine would still be at war, this little gesture does nothing

As I said, it’s just a very small gesture showing some support.
Donating to certain charities would certainly make a bigger difference.

Thanks ponderinguy.   I've done the same.

M1m1c15 I respect your right to express your opinion, but I disagree. Does one thought, one word, one prayer, one vote help ? They all add up.  I wish those who can do more will act.  Evil triumphs only if all others do nothing.

Agree wholeheartedly.

I think it is a good idea, I made the switch. It may be a small gesture but if a lot of people do it then it will not be so small.

So what if everyone does this? What will it add up to?

Let’s try it and see what happens.

Nothing. But it will show roughly how many people side with one corrupt regime over another corrupt regime.

Or it might simply indicate the person is empathetic to the plight of the Ukrainian people right now, politics aside.

BTW, chess.com doesn’t (and shouldn’t) allow political or religious discussions in the forum. This topic was simply to plant an idea of a small thing that members can do to show some support for the Ukrainian people.

So @IfPatriotGames is as I understand, suggesting that Ukraine is a corrupt regime ! 🤷‍♂️…….if so could she please enlighten us as to why she thinks this ! 🤷‍♂️……..just asking !
Woollensock2

I think she was saying bad things about 🇷🇺 🇷🇺 🇷🇺 🇷🇺 🇷🇺

I can support Ukraine and not change my flag. Just because I don’t want to falsely show that I live in Ukraine (which, by the way, I find immensely disrespectful because I could never imagine the hardships of those living in Ukraine) doesn’t mean I don’t support them.
