Otherwise Russia set the precedent that war is once again ultima ratio of diplomacy.

This statement betrays an ignorance of history including military efforts by western nations to create the state of Israel.

No major power tried to move borders prior to Russia's illegal attack on Ukraine.

You can still delete this blatant misinformation.

to ensure that there will always be a place where Jews are welcome

This place already exists in countless cities around the world outside of Israel. Many cities are home to both thousands of Jews and Muslims who get along fine in tightly packed urban environments.

The surrounding countries must find a way to live in peace with Israel.

Why falsely imply that Israelis have equal agency compared to the desperately poor they occupy?

The war in Ukraine is much simpler

You show no understanding of Slavic history, nor geopolitical balance including the significance of buffer states. Otherwise you would not boldly oversimplify an equally nuanced conflict.

Now you are sort of arguing. Frankly though, I've tried to engage in a debate with you, but if all you do after you've finally put forth something of an argument is to be condescending, then I am going to stop this here. You could have elaborated on your arguments but you instead chose to use them in attempt to insult me.

So now that all bets are of, you are an apologetic shill for a dictator and you seem to have fallen for all of his blatant lies. But yes sure play the old western imperialism fiddle - that's all you apparently can do.

Your inability to respond to even a single point is little surprise.

You've not made any points. You have just stated for my knowledge to insufficient. Do you expect me to counter that? That is simply a waste of effort if you don't even try to put forth arguments.

"Your inability to see past propaganda and to Folter out unnecessary supposed history and cultural peculiarities is the reason you're completely lulled in by Russian propaganda".

There, now I've done the same, respond then

Q.e.d. you're not discussing anyway so what's the point
