It’s “Russia made no efforts to contact” and “Russia made no efforts to search” both of which indicate it was because Russia was up to no good.
Funny how you ignore the reasons the commenter you’re replying to gives to indicate Russia did it because it was evil, reasons which do not apply to the U.S. case, and pretend they never gave those explanations at all.
- naasking 3y agoThe point is that 1) those reasons are themselves assuming a particular value system in order to judge evil (for someone who believes national sovereignty is absolute, neither country need give any reason to justify such decisions), and 2) those reasons are simply the propaganda you've heard, not necessarily what actually happened.
- twixfel 3y agoI mean it looks like the private internal memos regarding the Soviet incident were released in 1992, so this is not propaganda. Or if it were it'd make the USSR look better, not really bad.
- zaphar 3y agoYou can't judge evil without a backing value system to do so. Not assuming a value system presumes there is no such thing as evil. Which sure, if that's what you want to advocate for then go for it. But for those of us who do have a value system we'll continue to use it in deciding whether something is evil or not.
- kortilla 3y ago> 2) those reasons are simply the propaganda you've heard, not necessarily what actually happened. It’s declassified documents from the USSR. If you don’t want to believe them in your support for the USSR, who are we supposed to believe?
