    You’re right, governments have done bad things to people before, so we should just deliver a smaller sovereign nation of human beings over to expansionist Russia’s butchers.

    Conveniently that’s suddenly something we should’ve done all along, because Krasnov and his owners say so. (I’m sure it has nothing to do with trying to make a play for raw minerals multinational corpos are hungry for.)

    Surely Pooty will stop after butchering and pillaging just one neighbor. Just one country full of people, bro, then the world will finally know peace, bro! /s

    This isn’t how it worked in history class. So yeah, we’re all for supporting a country’s right to defend itself from aggression, which will at least leave a chance ro sort out the rest later.

      Russia does not have an ideology like Nazi Germany where they need “living space”. The only other countries I see Russia ever invading is the Baltic states due to them discriminating against Russians with Russians in Estonia for example not being given citizenship unless they were born there before 1940. This means an old grandma who has lived there for 80 years was not granted citizenship by her own government due to her ethnicity.

      I personally don’t think an invasion into the Baltic States would be justified. But at the same time, it is a reminder that maybe you should not piss off a major power that borders you by massacring or stripping away the freedoms of said country’s ethnicity.
