    Oh fuck off mate. Only Russia is to blame for the Russo-Ukrainian war.

    Russia invaded Ukraine, not the other way around.

    This is the equivalent of a child pointing at a sibling and saying “they made me do it”

      Thanks you for saying what a lot of others think. I would not engage the tankie any further.

        It’s funny how you fascists always run away from a simple discussion. Do you have so little faith in your ability to discuss and defend what you pretend to believe?

      If you’re looking for a comparison child sibling fights, a much more apt one would be your sibling putting their fingers millimeters from your face going “I’m not touching you” for an hour straight. Then the prick runs and tattles to mom the second you respond by hitting them.

      Is it your contention that the US has been actively involved in funding Nazi groups in Ukraine for decades because they are altruistic humanitarians?

      What is your explanation for America’s interferences in Ukraine?

      The only child here is the one who’s ignoring all history that led up to the conflict and pretending the west had no role to play.

        It’s incredible how you constantly try remove any agency the people of Ukraine have. I was there for Euromaidan. I know exactly what we’ve been fighting for.

        On the flip side to play devil’s advocate for a moment, even if we were to take this at face value that makes the actions of Russia toddler level bullshit. “Oh noes the evil west uwu, I have to murder tens of thousands of people now. Look what they made me do, uwu”…

          I know exactly what we’ve been fighting for.

          Was it to become a vassal state of the USA with a pseudo nationalism rooted in Nazi era ideology and primitive widespread racism? Because that’s what happened. That’s what you got. You destroyed your country to get a pat on the head for helping them “weaken Russia”. They used and betrayed you and you still don’t see it. It’s what they do everywhere. Taiwan is next.

          The IMF deal wrecked your economy. The Maidan was and now has demonstrably been proven a colossal failure.

            I am those people…

            The people doing that to us were the Russians.

            Also as a reminder, 75% of us voted for Zelensky. The further east you went the higher the percentage. Go fly a kite somewhere else сука

              Even CNN reported openly who was shelling Donbas, but you keep on going there. Now, trolls like you are all over social media cheering for other people to keep on dying. By the way, remind me again what platform Zelensky ran on again?

        You’re using an incredibly naive, reductive, and highly cropped version of history if you really think that. Or, you’re arguing in bad faith. Tankies often try to pull the latter, but it’s pretty easy to spot.

          I’m literally the opposite by focusing on the history that led up to the conflict and the role that west played in creating the conditions for it. The incredibly naive, reductive, and highly cropped version of history is the claim that Russia just decided to invade Ukraine out of the blue and nothing could’ve been done to avoid that. The fact that you’re a grown ass adult using the word tankie says everything I need to know about you though.

    Russians invaded sovereign territory. That’s all you need to know about this war.

        Bu but it’s sovereign!

        You can make plenty of arguments about why the actions of Russia are wrong, but using the phrase sovereign territory like it’s the king’s divine right aint one.

              Usa took over ukraines government and made them murder the people in east ukraine. The goal of usa is to put nukes in ukraine and to murder all ukrainians and russians. Usa is racist and wants them gone.

                If you can’t even be asked to summarise an erratic thought chain perhaps you shouldn’t be classist about it.

                  There’s nothing erratic about what I said. The article linked in the submission, which you obviously didn’t read either, summarizes precisely what happened. Maybe take a moment away from trolling to actually engage with the subject you’re attempting to debate here.

    The author’s whining tone is difficult to get through, but he fails to identify why Ukraine being a free democracy was such a threat to Russia that invasion and war crimes are justified. Ukraine is not Russia and they don’t want to be.
