- WithinReason 5y agoGreat, now any discussion on what Russia's motivations are in this war are the same as "literally justifying the Russian aggression"

- avianlyric 5y agoAh yes, good old fashioned what-aboutism. The staple of Russian foreign propaganda. Of course we understand, until Russia has killed and maimed at least as many people as the entire west combined, then it’s done nothing wrong. Anyone who suggests otherwise is clearly a hypocrite. What a pathetic argument, surely you’re paid to come up with something better than that?

Please particularly note the guideline about not posting insinuations about shilling, trolling, brigading, etc.—that's an inmportant one, and you broke it egregiously here.
- EB-Barrington 5y agoUkraine is my home, I'm not Ukrainian. I am taking care of vulnerable people who are being massacred - if you want a number to keep track of, try this: your comment has saved exactly zero lives. ("Russian-speaking" shows how little you know of this situation. Kyiv is overwhelmingly "Russian speaking", there is step one in your education)

- CryptoPunk 5y agoI am implying that those previous events, even if they mark Ukraine as not neutral, did not justify the current armed Russian aggression. The Russian response, as far as I can see, is a substantial escalation/over-reaction.
