This viewpoint is simplistic to the point of absurdity.
- Mikeb85 4y agoAnd your comment is useless and adds nothing.
- Supermancho 4y agoI assume you are refrring to the laughable statement: > The only thing the US is responsible for is that they could have maybe threatened Russia enough to not invade. as if that wasnt a factor (by proxy via NATO) initiating Russian aggression.
- Mikeb85 4y ago> as if that wasnt a factor (by proxy via NATO) initiating Russian aggression. This is basically the "she wore a short dress" defense... The only country that initiated Russian aggression is Russia.
- Supermancho 4y ago> This is basically the "she wore a short dress" defense... I'm not sure why you characterize the assertion as a "defense". It's a reason. People do things for reasons. Everyone makes choices based on how they perceive the world and predict the future from there. To flatly ignore circumstance is not constructive.
- Mikeb85 4y agoIt's a shit reason. Just like wearing a short dress is a "reason" rapists claim to rape. Russia is raping and killing for reasons. But those reasons are shit and Ukraine doesn't deserve what's happening to them.
- geranim0 4y agoSometimes I wonder if these types of comments are state sponsored
