    Ok sure, you’re not wrong. The west has a lot of blood on it’s hands in regards to the Middle East and the whole world if you really want to take a tally. I mean the whole colonization of the Americas was genocide. The European empire building of the whole world was genocide on large scales.

    You don’t have to support the west to understand that an invasion of another sovereign country is wrong. It was wrong when the US invaded Iraq. It’s wrong now when Russia invades Ukraine.

    I support the west supporting Ukraine in this instance but I reserve the right to change my mind if conditions change or new information becomes available.

      Ukraine and Russia didn’t exist as countries until 30 years ago. Most people alive today were born when the two were the same country. This is not one soverign country invading another. This is continuation of unresolved issues from the collapse of the Soviet Union.

        Ukraine is in fact a sovereign nation and has been, as you say for 30 years.

          Most people living there were born to different borders.
