Because you are a coward and lazy? Here's a summary:

Fix the heinous war crimes and crimes against humanity being committed by your own state, and only then will you have the moral authority to do anything, effective, about the crimes of other states.



No, because your position is indefensible. You argue that only the biggest perpetrator of terrible crimes should be held accountable, and everybody else could be left out. Which is a double standard and you know it, which is why all that you have left is emotional diatribes and ad hominem.

In fact, that's an extremely evil thing to push, because - who holds USA accountable? Surely not Russia or China. So nobody is held accountable. Well done!

And being Ukrainian I have enough moral authority to call out Russia at least.


I'm arguing that the largest criminal is not qualified to police the next-largest criminal.

The US has no moral authority when it comes to illegal invasions and murdering innocent people. Period.

If you want to do something effective about criminal, illegal wars - jail your own war criminals. Ukraine has plenty of them, even prior to Febuary 23rd. You did nothing effective about them, and thus the mess you are in.

Anything less is hypocricy and moral grandstanding.

You are blaming Russias invasion of Ukraine, on Ukrainians?.


Ukraine certainly played its part in extending the hostilities that resulted in 14,000 murdered Russian-speaking citizens in its border regions prior to Feb 23.

If you are unaware of this, and just swallowing the agitprop designed to sell more weapons into the region, then I'm sure you have nothing more productive to add to the conversation.

Do you have a credible source for this?, id be interested to see one if you do.


I've missed what this guy was saying and jesus christ...
