  > Why plural? Belarus and Ukraine > What? By which rule the US invaded Iraq in 2003? By which rule NATO changed the borders of Serbia? None of those instances are wars of conquest, of annexation of a sovereign country by military force or of trying to erase a national identity. How's the Putinesque Koolaid tasting, protomolecule? Good enough to grab a rifle in the name of the fatherland? Or do you just do internet battles? I'm surprised you're allowed on the broad internet. Are you VPNing or are you some sort of silovik? Your cowards launched quite a bunch of drones and missiles at Kyiv last night, targeting civilian infrastructure. Lots of civilians dead. The civilized world will never forget this.
