Didn't russia attack Ukraine?

- azan_ 14d agoYes, in this case one side (russia) attacked other (Ukraine), which is just defending itself. It's very clear who is the aggressor here. This entire conflict could be prevented if russia did not attack, that's it.

- azan_ 14d agoOk let's work from the basics. Please answer this question - is russia the aggressor in this war?
- dofm 14d agoHow do you say that in Russian? I'm sure you think this is smart, but the indisputable fact of how this conflict started remains. Are you suggesting that we don't come to the aid of our friends when they are attacked by our adversaries? That Ukraine does not have the right to support? That it must succeed or fail on its own or it's somehow not sporting?

- nullorempty 14d agoWhat were the Minsk agreements for?
- azan_ 14d agoGood point - we must remember that russia attacked Ukraine already in 2014, Ukraine agreed to their conditions and it still did not prevent russia from wanting more. History repeats itself - appeasement never works.

- azan_ 14d agoIs it satire or something that russians actually believe?
- Jtsummers 14d ago> launching a 20 year bombing and terror campaign against the Donbass > Finally, after eight year of these terror attacks Was it 20 years or 8 years? Those are two very different numbers, and only one has any semblance with reality given that 20 years ago was long before the so-called coup.
- dofm 14d agoWow. All of that, in one go? From out of just one arse?
- tomhow 14d agoToo many of your recent comments have been inflammatory. Could you please be less combative and more curiously conversational in your style of participation here? These guidelines in particular are important to heed: Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes. Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive. When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3." Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer. Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
