1. I agree with you to a certain extent. Saying "what-about-ism" to somewhat invalidate any discussion making parallels to other events is not good. Look the premise "...not justify the largest invasion on European soil since WWII". As long as our values align together, we'll condemn but tolerate. 2. Again, as long as we morally condemn the act but tolerate actions not affecting me ("...has not posed the risk of global thermonuclear war"), it's ok. 3. I agree with you. 4. Now, this is an interesting take. I don't know why Russia thinks the EU is its enemy. I don't think the EU wants to go to war with Russia over resources. The other side of the coin: back in the 90's, US + EU + Russia "agreed" no more expansion to the East. NATO kept expanding itself. If I (Russia) was to make an stand, I'll definitely find a diplomatic way to avoid more eastern countries to join NATO. That doesn't work? Well, Since I won't want anyone to put any type of weapon just in case I go "rogue", I'll use any means necessary to avoid that. 5. I agree with you. The EU is so intertwined it'll be next to impossible for someone like Hitler to raise up again. None of us know war and we don't want to know it. Much less a nuclear war. 6. There so much Russia will take until things get sour for the rest of the world. If Russia "wins" this will polarize the world again (Cold War 2). If Russia "loses", this will create or increase bitterness against the West. Other countries will start making alliances to counteract NATO's economical power. I'm trying to be as impartial as possible. The conflict is complex. The US won't tolerate any type of action near them (ie. Cuba) nor the EU for that matter. I can't imagine what Ukrainians are going through right now. Let's hope the conflict doesn't escalate and they can agree to stop this war.
