If you believe that Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine was unprovoked, you will likely compare Putin to Hitler and will likely oppose President Trump’s peace negotiations with Russia. After all, if Putin’s invasion was unprovoked, a settlement would reward naked aggression and would be akin to Neville Chamberlain’s 1938 appeasement…

Interesting that you don't /seem/ to be aware of the invaders' rapes and racism at all. There's rape and racism everywhere, literally every single where. But sure, tell me how rapes and racism show the inherent evil of Ukraine.. surely the kind of provocation that shows "They were asking for it." This is coming from a rape survivor, btw, can't shame me out of using it as a metaphor.

    Lmao there it is. When there's credible accusations leveled at Ukraine, suddenly it's no big deal because everyone does it, but mostly the side you're against, which isn't okay.

    I'm not claiming the inherent evil of anywhere, I'm not a racist fucking lib. I'm saying there were crimes being perpetrated against the Ukrainian people, and they defended themselves and asked Russia to aid them, which was their right.

    Whatever you've gone through, it doesn't make it any less disgusting to weaponize trauma to invalidate the struggle of others. Jewish people went through the Holocaust, it doesn't make their shouts of antisemitism at the slightest criticism valid, nor does it justify the deflection from their own crimes. But I can't say I'm surprised by how low gringos will go to paint their incessant war profiteering as virtue.
