Try to explain that to the father of the 18 month old child killed today when Putins army broke cease fire and attacked people trying to get out of a besieged city (Kharkiv)
What is your point Tomcaster? No one here is denying the awful realities happening in Ukraine. Do you not think that an understanding of the antecedents of this current aggression is important? That's really all I was saying.....
What I want to say is that these presenting a logic that "it is US fault that they came too close to US borders" is wrong because it's not the fault of Ukraine that they are neighbors to Mr. Putin. People die because they wanted to be more than a buffer zone. When discussions become to theoretical it is important to remind them of the result of the twisted thinking of that regime.
I also fully support the suffering young liberal Russians that see their country moving away further from the west and into the arms of probably the Chinese. Unfortunately if they want to change that faith they also need to do something about it. Easy to say from a warm chair somewhere in the EU, but this is the only way.
Don’t waste your time, my friend. Some people are either too lazy to think outside the box or scared of people doing so. It just amazes me how one can look up to the likes of Fidel, Che and Lenin and still feel eligible to criticize others on wars and so on.
Wanna have a good time here? Listen to the press, accept it. There’s the good guy, the bad guy and noble organizations looking after you. Anything or everything other than that is a conspiracy. Copy that?
