Controversial opinion but.

Ukraine isn't the only war going right now.

There's a civil war in Ethiopia and unnecessary bombing by Saudis in Yemen and killing kids there.

Why has this war affected you more than the other wars? Cause the people involved are white-ish?

See, all wars are bad. It's just so sad seeing normal people suffer. But, imagine supporting sending weapons to ukraine and pressuring Russia when your goverments are already doing full business with Saudis.

I'm not comparing wars. Every war sucks and should never happen, including when the Americans tried to control the middle East. I'm just pointing out the underlying racism.

There are no good guys in a war. It's always the civilians who suffer. This time, the civilians are considered white.

I generally agree that we should be concerned about other wars like Yemen and that racism is one of the many factors that contributes to the invasion of Ukraine getting more coverage in this moment. But sometimes there are good guys in war, you know? Like it's true that war is bad, but Ukraine didn't choose to be in a war; warfare came to them. The same is true of Poland and China in World War 2. Ukraine's obviously done some bad shit such as banning military-age civilian men from fleeing, but 'good' and 'perfect' are two separate things and zeroing in on the relatively minor sins of the party that's still in the right overall.

@BlueVeins You are comparing two different things.

Who armed the Ukrainian rebels and gave them billions of dollars in finding each year?

Who disagreed on Russia's terms when they agreed and signed to diplomatic agreements saying that NATO shouldn't expand?

You corner down Russia like that and then they chose to destroy a neighbouring country for stupid reasons.

Who is in the wrong here? Both the west and Russia.

There are no good guys in this war. This is not Hitler era world war 2 type of war. This is a war that has been solved through diplomacy 10+ years ago before the NATO expansion started.

Vladimir Putin

Ukraine is not responsible for for any deals made between Vladimir Putin and the gremlins that live in his brain. Even if there was, it's not Ukraine's fault that other eastern European countries joined NATO.

You corner down Russia like that and then they chose to destroy a neighbouring country for stupid reasons.

NATO isn't "cornering" Russia; countries proximate to Russia have been applying to join NATO and have been accepted. All sovereign states have a right to form military alliances with whoever they wish. By that logic, it would be immoral for Russia and China to ally with Cuba. And by the way, the main reason why eastern European countries even wanted to join NATO was because Russia kept attacking its neighbors unprovoked.

@Doometernal Also if you've read any of Putin's writings on Ukraine, you'll know he doesn't even believe in Ukrainian sovereignty regardless.
