A yes I keep forgetting its the west that forced Putin to invade and try and genocide Ukraine.
This kind of talk takes agency away from Russia, Russia had every ability to not invade if they didn't want.
Russia is solely responsible for Russias actions.
- _8j50 4y agoNo it does not. Agency and responsibility are not the same thing. Russia can be responsible for an unjustified invasion and at the same time it is possible that the west also knowingly acted in a way that undermined a russian dictator and this became the root cause of the problem. You people are on HN, why don't you understand the concept of the diffefence between cause and root cause? Are you this blinded by partisan politics?
