I won't even disagree, but that still is not a valid excuse to invade a soverign country.

Russia wanted to join NATO under Clinton. NATO said no because a nation has to be stable and not in a conflict to join. Russia had a conflict in Chechnya.

(_see where I’m going _)

Ukraine wanted to join NATO. But if Russia invaded, they can’t join.

Yes, I know why they did it. That doesn't make it valid.

Valid? War isn’t reasonable.

[–] SkyezOpen 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Justified, then. Much like Israel's ongoing bullshit in Gaza is not anywhere near justified.

Oh, you want me to make a moral judgement. Okay. NATO and Putin are to blame. NATO shouldn’t have expanded, and Putin should let his neighbors have sovereignty without meddling in their governments.
