You're only showing that a large number of countries don't have the moral backbone to condemn Russian aggression. This is not about the "Global South" or the "collective West". Ukraine was invaded by a nuclear "superpower" - a permanent member of the UN Security Council. Its people are subjected to forced deportations and genocide. Russia's actions are those of a terrorist nation, and I expect you and everyone else to condemn it without reservation. I hope that is clear.

That's again a frivolous use of the words 'terrorist' and 'genocide'.

"The Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights is a unique international consortium of parliamentarians, scholars, jurists, human rights defenders, NGOs, and students united in the pursuit of justice, inspired by and anchored in Raoul Wallenberg’s humanitarian legacy – how one person with the compassion to care and the courage to act can confront evil, prevail, and transform history."

    "Principal Author Professor Kristina Hook is Assistant Professor of Conflict Management at Kennesaw State University’s School of Conflict Management, Peacebuilding, and Development <...> She previously served as a U.S. Department of State policy adviser for mass atrocity prevention, as a nonresident research fellow at the Marine Corps University, and as a U.S. Presidential Management Fellow. She is a nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center." I've read the bit about “We Can Do It Again”, if Ms. Hook resorts to direct lies from the start it gives me serious doubts that the rest of the report is any more truthful. But I could tell that from her affiliations alone.

      You continue to try to justify a genocidal aggressor nation, and this discussion risks degenerating into a flame war, so I'll stop here.

"and genocide" Perhaps, you should take a more critical look at your sources. Look at this NYT article, for example: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/06/world/europe/russia-ukraine-kharkiv-glide-bombs.html https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/06/world/europe/russia-ukrai... See the big picture at the top? Clearly it's some kind of mall damaged by senseless and cruel Russian strike that cannot have any other purpose but to terrorize population of Kharkiv into submission. Next look at the first video here: https://t.me/ASupersharij/28133 https://t.me/ASupersharij/28133 The place should look familiar, only now you can see destroyed MLRS vehicle (there were two, but the second one got evaporated: https://t.me/aleksandr_skif/3150 https://t.me/aleksandr_skif/3150), the likes of which were used to fire at the center of the Russian city Belgorod. Here is one of the top Ukrainian propagandists posting in his personal channel a video from Belgorod that shows wounded Russian women screaming and thrashing in agony (the text reads "Happy New Year, bitches"): https://t.me/dmytrogordon_official/39688 https://t.me/dmytrogordon_official/39688 And one more video from Russian city of Belgorod: https://t.me/zhest_belgorod/41262 https://t.me/zhest_belgorod/41262

  Are you seriously complaining that Ukraine is fighting back? You have not addressed any of my points about Russia's aggression. Why is that? This was an important article and discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39155168 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39155168 [Today's regional conflicts resemble the ones that produced World War II] If you are not challenging your government, then you are complicit in its crimes, and bear responsibility for what happens next.
