I see! So while Russia attacked Ukraine with the utmost belligerency and brutality against everything standing, it is NATO which is belligerent by helping Ukraine defend itself with equipment and supplies!Count Lucanor wrote: ↑June 3rd, 2022, 3:08 pmNATO can consider Russia's stance as hooliganism as much as Russia can consider NATO's stance as hooliganism. These are world powers with conflicting interests. One pushes forward, the other one pushes back. Is that too difficult to understand? NATO is not a diplomatic organization, it is a belligerent military alliance.
What planet are you on?
It’s obvious in every war that civilians get killed even if they aren’t explicitly targeted. To think otherwise would be naive. The difference is that in Putin’s war they obviously are targeted. How otherwise explain the brutality? There’s a huge difference both in number and intent between killing civilians inadvertently or as included targets. If inadvertently killed, it won't matter to me if I was included or not, but I figure, if still standing, I got a better chance if I weren't denoted as an object to be eradicated.Count Lucanor wrote: ↑June 3rd, 2022, 3:08 pmYou seem to be an easy target for propaganda. The fact is that all wars kill civilians, and to say that "collateral damage" happens "inadvertently" is purely a PR manouver.
Strange you don’t notice the difference! The Russians certainly can't!
I don’t find anything moral about a war but moral or not doesn’t decide whether justified or not. It’s true, the US and its allies are certainly not exempt of committing atrocities in their trangressions. The Americans and Allies generally during WWII have amply proven that they weren’t far below the Nazis when it comes to war crimes though not as bad as the Russians who were nothing more than one big rape gang as everyone has long known!Count Lucanor wrote: ↑June 3rd, 2022, 3:08 pmYou're still trying to find moral justifications in acts of war, I don't. Some are worst than others, and the US and its allies are certainly not exempt of committing atrocities in their trangressions. They have also made sure they cannot be held accountable for their crimes by any international court.
The subject is what’s happening in the here and now
Regarding that it’s your expressed view that NATO is the culprit having caused Russia's reaction against Ukraine. In short, it is NATO’s fault for having initiated this fiasco and Putin who was merely defending his country which was never attacked...which is about as much BS as I can stand!
Based on your defense of Russia as the innocent here, it’s not unexpected that you would conclude with a stupid imbecilic statement to match the rest of your geopolitical insights.Count Lucanor wrote: ↑June 3rd, 2022, 3:08 pmYour statements do not come from objective analysis, but pure prejudice. Russians are demons and the US and NATO are angelical envoys descended from heaven. Whenever Russians do something, it is because of some essential evil, whenever the US does the same or worst, there are always reasonable explanations, because...well, they can only be the good guys. You can see it at the movies, right?
