Seems to me that you’re the one justifying genocide of people of Donbas by the fascists that took power in a violent coup backed by the west. Even western media reported on the far right problem in Ukraine and the ethnic cleansing in Donbas before the war started.
@yogthos @theunknownmuncher Well we are two weeks away from an Presidential election here in the US, going to be interesting to see where that goes. If Kamaltoe, er, Kamala gets it then probably we won’t even be able to discuss it anymore.
My expectation is that Ukraine is going to be dumped after the election regardless of who wins. The whole gig has run its course at this point, and there’s a new war with Iran being drummed up already.
@theunknownmuncher I don’t justify genocide, I acknowledge ALL conflicts involve at least two sides, and to punish only one of those sides is to take part in said genocide rather than oppose it.
ALL conflicts involve at least two sides
Okay then, so describe the 2 sides and the punishments they deserved during the Nazi Germany invasion of Poland/Europe and the holocaust. I hate to bring Nazis into it as an argument, but you did say “ALL” and it easily shows how ridiculous that take is.
Nazi germany came into being a thing because post great war was massively hard on germans in large part to the treaty of versailles completely crippling germany’s economy.
ofc there were other factors like the massive propaganda machine, Germany was effectively reduced to a slave state dealt a massive blow to the pride of the german populace which was fairly easy to turn young men militant alone, even disregarding the disastrous effects to the German economy.
