1. Why does it not matter to pro-Ukraine Twitter that Ukrainian militias started bombing t/f out of Donbass on February 16, 2022, with lethal aid that the U.S. had just sent the Ukrainian government?
2. People who mention these bombings are silenced with accusations of "justifying Russia's brutal invasion". But if Ukraine actually did start bombing t/f out of Donbass, then Russia's SMO, launched in defense of Donbass, actually was justified.
3. There is no good reason to denounce Russia's military assistance to Donbass, only bad ones. Bad ones... like somehow believing that Donbass does not have the right to defend themselves or to be defended by anyone if they are facing a stronger aggressor.
Most people want the Russo-Ukrainian conflict to end so we can stop worrying about the future. Some think the only way it can end is if Russia withdraws and gives up Novorossiya and Crimea. But that would not end the war, because UkroNazis want WW3 & won't let it end that way...
They'll make sure that the war shifts to the rest of Rus Fed soil, instead... spewing nonsense about how we need to "decolonize" Russia for the sake of a long-lasting peace, and they'll manage to drag the rest of the world into that fight.
The only way that this can end, is if Ukraine loses this war and gives up Novorossiya and Crimea. UkroManiacs say that won't work because Russia wants to seize all of Ukraine, and then move on to the rest of Europe...
The is no real moral equivalency. Responsibility to Protect is a valid military measure. The U.S., however, used lies to invoke R2P, while Russia's reasons are valid.
McFaul's 'thief who breaks into your house' analogy is also stupid. What's going on in Ukraine is more like: A husband (UA government) is beating the shit out of his wife (Donbass), and she manages to call the cops (Russia)...
Does that husband have a right to continue beating his wife? Should a neighbor then intervene to provide that husband with weapons so he can fight off the cops who came to protect the wife from being murdered?
