    For you, extermination of Ukrainian identity in the occupied territories is OK. For me it’s not.

    And at any rate, I don’t buy your “whataboutism” about Iraq. You don’t care about killed Iraqi civilians just you like you don’t care about Ukrainiains killed by Russians.

    I want to ask you another thing - do you realize that the mafia group in control of Russia got to the point of no opposition and ability to invade, for example, Ukraine, because from the very beginning it was supported by the West against democratic forces in Russia?

    No, I do not believe in russian victimhood narratives.

      Somebody should have explained it to you long ago that your comments can be a source of information about yourself, and not about me.

      And at any rate, I don’t buy your “whataboutism” about Iraq. You don’t care about killed Iraqi civilians just you like you don’t care about Ukrainiains killed by Russians.

      I care about them very much, I would prefer cockroach Americans to die instead of them - and instead of Ukrainians.

      No, I do not believe in russian victimhood narratives.

      You are a cockroach. Pretending to be good and kind where it doesn’t cost you anything. See, when it does, a man becomes more concerned with something he pays for with various things to be correct and true.

      If you care about Ukrainian lives, go to war and replace one of those lives with your own. And if you don’t, you should preach for peace because more people die in war than in peace.

        Recognizing that laying the blame that your country is authoritarian and genocidal on someone else makes me a cockroach?

        Yeah, we’ve seen how well “peace with russia” worked out after 2014.

          No, you are a cockroach because you are ignoring everything of matter in my comments, pretending they say something else.

          I realize my country is genocidal. You don’t realize your country is genocidal. If you would, it wouldn’t make sense for you to run around with condemnations.

          Also my country is authoritarian and yours is not supposed to be that, I agree. That also makes your responsibility for said crimes bigger than mine. But I don’t think you ever thought about that, don’t seem the type.

          Yeah, we’ve seen how well “peace with russia” worked out after 2014.

          Ukraine should have been the initiator of some kind of compromise after the first 6 months, when Russia looked pathetic.

          Instead they used the moment for propaganda targeted at their own population. Probably to keep the current government in power.

          Any kind of peace would allow them to make further preparations for a war not limited by Donbass and Crimea.

          In Crimea the idea of separating from Ukraine was always popular, it was always treated by many people as some mistake that they are part of Ukraine. So losing Crimea is not really a loss.

          And compromise, while involving real losses, should be measured not against some ideal right and law, but against the fact that anything else will be paid with lives and those will not be of Americans, Europeans and other white civilized people telling Ukrainians to fight against Russia instead of them.

          I’m telling you, every Armenian and Georgian looking at the war in Ukraine sees how the “alternative” demanded by hawkish protesters works, and finds appreciation for the wisdom of their own governments in that particular regard.
