@verar5844 it means Ukraine's fight actually is existential. And Russia's is voluntary.

@ernestkhalimov1007 that's not a dictatorship, that's martial law. Zelensky was not a dictator. Unlike Putin's authorizationism for no reason.

@ИванЛарзалев pitch? NATO only works if they are attacked. If Ukraine attacks, NATO doesn't work. Ukraine isn't in NATO.

@ИванЛарзалев The evidence is that Crimeans didn't want to be a part of Russia. And Russia had no right to take Crimea.

@jasonlives6923 Ukraine didn't try to kill ethnic Russian Ukrainians. There's plenty of them throughout the country. And Russia already invaded before that. Ukraine fought a military insurgency that took over the civilian government, that was organized by agents of, funded, armed, and even had soldiers from Russia. An insurgency organized from Moscow.

@salonez91 Because it's primarily a Russian issue caused by Russia. It's Russia's feelings. NATO hasn't pushed for anything. Ukraine applied to join. Was deferred for awhile. Ukraine showed renewed interest when Russia invaded in 2014.

The mentality is so different. The idea you can't criticize a president while they started a war is so strange.

@HumanBeingsRThinkingBeings that's the dumbest question you've framed bot. It's just really badly framed. The only thing that wasn't allowed where missles targeting the country. Everyone else does the same to Russia. Not have any missles along it's borders that can target the country. NATO or maybe just the US, removed missles it did have during the Cuban missile crisis to make it even.

@StrongRespect pretty sure it wasn't legal to take Ukraine's soil. That they didn't have the legal permission to do so.
2
@StrongRespect most sources say Russian losses at 2-3 times greater. Whether you value peace, any sense of justice will tell you Russia is in the wrong. Every argument they have has been proven wrong. And every situation they are "fighting" are ones they constructed.

@elvinpeters220 He didn't equate civilized with the West. You're doing that. Most of the world agrees that Russia was wrong to invade. Even the few that ostensibly side with Russia's excuses.

@StrongRespect Crimea was annexed. It was invaded and annexed. Maybe you believe the revisionist history. But it doesn't match the sequence of events as they played out in real life.

@jacktay3426 that's right, it's not okay. Because Russia is trying to take over a peaceful country it attacked from its people. How you can't make that distinction is amazing.

@shubhamkaliraman1291 NATO allows anyone to apply, and If they meet criteria, to join. Especially small countries like Ukraine that would otherwise be invaded by a large aggressive country like Russia. Russia knows that NATO won't attack them. And it knows NATO won't aim missles towards Russia. Meanwhile Russia is expanding, using brute strength.

@sapienbrain8120 Cuba did have a Russian base.... The bases would be Ukraine's bases if they were in NATO.

@abhishekbhattarai3375 and they negotiated and removed the missles near Russia. They didn't invade Cuba and annex it during that time. Russia makes the American U.S look good by comparison. As someone else said, NATO and the US have honored that agreement.

@dewinjarju8133 Russia's doing the same, and asking the same for Ukraine after it invaded three times. It's just mutual defense. Ukraine will have better defense. But neither country should attack each other. That's the only difference. Ukraine would have better counter offense.

@paulzx5034 Putin isn't a czar. He's a supposed a elected official. Wars aren't the same. That's sounds like a coping mechanism to avoid responsibility.

@paulzx5034 all countries change. The US was an extension of a monarch. That changed. All of America. The UK, France, ECT all changed their government or who wields power.

I'm sure he's letting them just to say he does. It's all very controlled. The "criticism" is still pro war anyway.

@T00Busy113 that's not true. It might take a generation. It might take Russia becoming a democracy. It might take a change in who's in charge. It might take overtures towards peace and reconciliation. But history has shown that people can forgive and move on. Ukraine doesn't want to annihilate Russia. It wants Russia to leave it alone. Russia is in the wrong. It has to admit that to itself. And reach out. That's Russia's own fault. But people forgive. The entire cold war, people were willing to move on. It was Russia that decided not to move on. It might take just one of the actions I mentioned. You can't expect the Ukranians to forgive right away. But they will leave the Russians alone.
