@benroyce@mastodon.social He's shed his mask and is repeating nationalist propaganda: fuck morality, Russian crimes are a geopolitical necessity, the sacrifices for this must be crystal clear and perfect, Putin has already been Russia's dictator for 30 years, Ukraine is supposed to be democratic, Germany is the world's third largest economy, France is the fourth largest, and the UK is the fifth largest bankrupt. Block, don't discuss. And the US was the guarantor of the agreement on the inviolability of Ukraine's borders. And it has an absolute duty to help Ukraine.
The war in Donbas began in April 2014. That event couldn't have triggered anything. It's a lie.
After World War II, when Stalin and the Allies changed the borders, people were put into freight trains and transported hundreds of kilometers. Like my family. You've lived for several hundred years in some village near Lviv, right in an area once inhabited by Germans, who were also deported. Putin could have done that to Russians living in Ukraine. No, he wouldn't have done that; it could have been done to Ukrainians or Poles.
