Oh, so Russia should just exterminate the entire population and take that entire landmass. You've painted the entire country with the same broad brush and they obviously deserve it. The hundreds of thousands of people dying on both sides with surly root out the Nazi scurge and not legitimize them as a defensive force. /s in case it wasn't mega clear.
You're correct, there are some Nazis in Ukraine and it's certainly close to Nato and a possible threat on Russia's border. It's complicated. An irridentist invasion and war is not based actually, for everyone involved.
Russia has never said they plan on genocide, nor have they said they plan on taking the entirety of Ukraine. So you're just making things up.
It's hyperbolic. What are you willing to accept in the name of "killing Nazis"?
What are you willing to accept in the name of defending Nazis?
Assuming every Ukrainian is a Nazi, and every Russian isn't (which is obviously extreme on both ends, but let's simplify and take a maximalist position favoring you.)
There's a lot of estimates out there, but taking rough middle estimates, 500k Ukrainian forces have been killed, and 1,250k Russian forces. So you think it is good, logical even, to melt 2.5 non Nazis in favor of killing one? Would you sacrifice your life and a friend or family member to kill one Ukrainian Nazi?
I haven't made any of those assumptions or said any of those things, so I'm not sure what imaginary person you're arguing against
They're killing Nazis and they're justified in doing it. Seems like you think it's worth the cost to you, but I don't know what you believe. So what is your position here?
"Uh well okay they actually don't want what I said they want bUT STILL"
Why do you keep pretending that that is what has been happening?
What should a state do when the most prolific invader in the world gathers personnel and weapons on that state's borders, especially after said most prolific invader completes a coup against a neighbouring neutral state?
So, become the invader? Start the war? That seems to be what you think should happen right?
Firstly, if you cannot suggest a serious alternative, you do not have an argument against the actions of such a state in this regard.
Secondly, the most prolific invader in the world attempting to attack a country is what starts a war, rather than the retaliation and preventative measures of the other state.
Thirdly, it is public knowledge that NATO was trying to start a war with Russia, but miscalculated.
My serious alternative is defend against invasion, don't invade other countries. Pre-empting invasion with your own invasion is some Israel in 1969 logic
When you're a very serious person with a well- grounded understanding of what other governments want and how wars work.
Who could forget world War 2, when the entire population of Germany was destroyed?
It's hyperbole.
And famously the Nazis were just chilling out in Germany and they got invaded by another country.
If it's hyperbole it sounds exactly like what 5 thousand dipshits have told me sincerely
Actually they were doing ethnic cleansing, like the Ukranian government was.
