Let's attack russia
Let's end human civilization in a nuclear holocaust.
He's so proud to have a Russian passport to play tankie on the internet, but too cowardly to go to the front himself
Better just give everything to Russia then!
Obviously you must think that it's better to make sure hundreds of thousands of people die and millions more have their lives ruined before giving everything to Russia. If Ukraine simply accepted neutrality before the war and implemented Minsk, then it would've kept all its territory. Then Ukraine could've settled the war back in March last year, but US and UK said no. Now, Ukraine has lost 20% of its territory, and will likely lose a lot more. Yet, the final outcome is going to be the same. Even western propagandists stopped talking about Ukrainian victory at this point.
And imagine being the kind of absolute psycho who thinks that it's better for billions of people to die in a nuclear holocaust than for Russia to win in Ukraine. These are the kinds of psychopaths we have here.
That's a fallacious argument based on a false premise. Russia has always been clear that their concern has been NATO expansion. Ukraine would have lost none of its territory had it chose to remain neutral.
Furthermore, plenty of western experts warned about this literally for decades, yet those concerns were ignored.
Meanwhile, it's kind of funny of you to talk about setting some sort of precedent when the west has set it a long time ago.
Western nations have invaded Yugoslavia, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria just to name a few. This was done unilaterally without UN authorization. In fact, Russian playbook in Ukraine is directly modeled on what NATO did in Yugoslavia where they recognized breakaway regions and had them invite NATO for support.
What you're essentially saying here is that it's fine for the west to do these things, but we should bring the world to a brink of a nuclear holocaust when other countries do the same.
The reality is that the west has no moral high ground here unless western countries change their own behavior.
That article doesn't say what you seem to be claiming here.
And as you yourself admit the precedent is set by US which is the only country to actually commit such an atrocity. However, the bigger point here whether might makes right, and that's the rule that the west has consistently followed.
No, Ukraine had a violent coup in 2014 where the legitimate government was overthrown and right wing nationalists took power. Russia annexed Crimea in response to that because the regime that took power started doing these sorts of things to the Russian speaking population:
The Budapest Memorandums disprove your argument. Long before Russian invaded Crimea, much less Ukraine main, a peace plan with a promise to never invade was given by Russia. Russia lied.

I see you just conveniently omitted the whole 2014 coup when the legitimate government was overthrown in Ukraine and the regime that the west put in power started doing these sort of things to the Russian speaking population
The only one who's lying here is you bud.
Who let the Orcs in? There's something obvious here, but it's not Russian victory.
Just say what you mean, "asiatic hordes"
Christ the open racism that the reddit migration has brought in is disgusting.
Hey look it's the echo account. I mean war pigs, familiar?
Are you having a stroke or trying to talk in code? I just read some other text so I know I'm not having a stroke.
