    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.

      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”…

        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.

    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.
