This sort of implies Ukraine is an apartheid state carelessly starving and stealing from Russians for decades.

Yes the victims of the recent attack deserve sympathy, but this is not a blank check for a continued genocide against Gaza or other Palestinians.

They aren't really the same.

If that's your take I think you're trying too hard,

Trying too hard? To make sense of a complicated global issue? That's a bad thing?

You really need to put a logic line between your thoughts and see if you connect things. Don't try to make things uneccsaily complicated.

I'm sorry, but this is some serious mental gymnastics. "Don't try to hard but use logic to justify your emotions about supporting a war of choice."

No thanks.
