If Russia stopped invading them, do you think Ukraine would suddenly try to invade Russia in turn?
They'd continue to cozy up to NATO, persecute Russian nationals (even peaceful citizens) and give Putin the legitimate reasons you claim he doesn't have.
I claimed what? I don't understand why you're advocating for the aggressor and their invasion of another country, and doing so on a retro gaming instance.
So again - what the fuck?
"You", collectively, referring to all the warmongering hypocrites who want to keep the war going for no reason other than sLaVa uKrAiNi.
I'd love to focus on retro games, tech and other cool stuff that interests me. Problem is, even after blocking all sorts of instances and communities, and building up a word filter, I still see political (or in this case, geopolitical) posts all over the cesspit that is Lemmy.
At no point have I ever said I want the war.
It looks like our difference in opinion is I want the people actually causing the war to stop.
Your problem is that you assume Ukraine is innocent. They're not. They're the antagonists. They knew Putin can't resist pushing forward when they antagonize him further so they keep doing it to keep the flow of income from completely unrelated countries so the whack-job Zelenskyy, along with his backers and partners, can keep living like kings.
Who invaded who?
An invader is not automatically the antagonist or the only antagonist.
Would this be happening if Russia did not invade another country?
Not sure what kind of non-argument trap you're trying to set but I'm not playing your game.
It was a simple yes or no question..
Don't waste my time, we both know it is more than that.
It seems like you don't want to admit that this whole thing would not be happening if Russia either didn't invade another country, or stopped invading.
Given you can't bring yourself to acknowledge core facts that don't match your view points, we are at an impasse and as you said, I shouldn't waste time trying to talk to a brick wall. I'm just going to block you.
Like I said, I knew you are playing a game so I'm not going to fall into your pathetic attempt at a trap. You'd make my day by blocking me, so go ahead!
