Your head is completely in the sand and your current irrational biases or whatever you want to call it is to blame
How do you not understand that countries that were previously dominated by the Soviet Union/Russia and would want to prevent that happening in the future?
Imagine being against basic rights and international law in 2022
How is looking at cause and effect being biased, doctor?
It’s a trip seeing so many of you lose your shyt just because some of us want to have a nuanced picture of the situation. I mean, if y’all are that basic then here:
Russia is in the wrong.
Russia is breaking international law.
Ukraine, and any other nation, has the right to be a sovereign nation and make its own choices.
Ok, and? Does any of that explain Russia’s motivations? I’m not at all discussing whether they are legitimate gripes or not but it doesn’t hurt to bring them up either. If you just want to stick to the fact that Russia is the aggressor and needs to be dealt with then more power to you.
But some of us like to understand the history behind conflicts as well as potential solutions. I’d love to think that you and other posters like you will stop painting some of us as Putin apologists or whatever but I’m doubtful. Doesn’t really matter to me, but it does reflect how shallow discussions can be on hlnbc.
