For anyone hailing from russia to be taken seriously, can you please answer these basic questions first: 1) Is Ukraine a sovereign country that belongs to the free people of Ukraine?, 2) Who does Crimea belong to?, 3) is russian army committing war crimes in Ukraine, and 4) are you personally supporting the russians war of genocide on Ukraine?
- halJordan 4y agoAh yes, a litmus test of au courant conformity before granting someone the right of speech. That's definitely Western values on display.
- philistine 4y agoThey didn't say they had to answer any which way. They just needed answers to take them seriously. The way of a western democracy is not anything goes. We all have to agree to certain truths.
- eternalban 4y agoIt is worrying that in a supposedly informed forum the simple, and factual, matter of there being distinct perspectives on the geopolitical order post USSR's collapse requires any further elaboration. Wow. Are you actually denying that others, quite a few billion of them not Russians btw (they go by "Global South" these days), view US behavior post Soviet collapse as aggressive and motivated by a desire for lasting hegemony? That clearly is not a view that would be addressed by the content in question, so GP's point stands.
