    If Europe cares so much about Ukraine having its lands annexed and illegally ocuppied by Russia I’m sure it will care about Palestine being in the same situation… am I right? Am I right?

      This is an interesting analogy.

      Last I checked, Ukrainians weren’t gunning down Russian teenager.

        Probably because the Ukrainians have been free for decades and not locked up and abused for decades.

        Also they are killing many Russian teenagers every day, who do you think is fighting on Russias side the elderly?

          I meant they weren’t gunning down Russian kids at music festivals prior to the invasion. In other words, they weren’t committing acts of terrorism prior to the war.

          Which is why I don’t think it’s a very good comparison.

        Nice analogy you got there… because ukrainians have been forced into sewers, literally had family lines ended, and treated like animals or subhumans for decades.

        Id like to see ukrania being occupied for decades and then seeing ukrainians being the ones expected to be tolerant or forgiving.

        “gunning down teenagers” is a funny way of saying gunning down terrorists who have guns and are already killing innocents

          I meant prior to the war. They were not committing acts of terrorism against Russians.

          Which is why I don’t think it’s a very good comparison.

        What was Putin’s justification for invading Ukraine? To prevent the genocide of Russians in Ukraine.

        Not saying he was right, but that word sure does get tossed around a lot these days, both in describing conflict and in starting new ones.
