  • Every single representative of Russia including Putin gives long ass speeches about why this is happening

    The same government that has lied about so many things that I have lost count

    Also the US is hardcore plotting and funding terrorism against Russia

    Evidence? Do you think the US plotted and funded the Crocus City Hall attack for instance?

  • Would you have preferred to see the West provide nothing to Ukraine and instead just watch Ukraine get taken over by Russia? Perhaps that would have resulted in fewer deaths, but who knows. Russian forces probably would have still killed a lot of Ukrainians, and they would have subjugated Ukrainians, and probably they would have still committed rape and other acts.

  • Ukraine’s not a member of NATO

    Indeed. That's why I said maybe Ukraine should have been allowed to join NATO years ago. That might have prevented this invasion.

    i never disputed who the primary aggressor was in this war

    So you think Russia invaded, but then the West used this as an opportunity to harm Russia. Maybe the West wasn't interested in harming Russia for the sake of harming Russia. Maybe the West just wanted Russia to stop its invasion of Ukraine.

  • I didn't say Russian only lies. I said Russia "has lied about pretty much everything for a long time". That is not the same thing.

    assuming the opposite of whatever Russia says

    I'm not just assuming the opposite of Russia's statements. I'm drawing a best guess conclusion based on two premises:

    • Russia has a history of lying about its true intentions and actions
    • Russian oligarchs and elites would absolutely be interested in mineral wealth, given their history of megalomania

    I think it's likely that mineral wealth would have been part of the Kremlin's motivation to invade. Along with general megalomania and irredentism.

  • It's hilarious that you accuse the US and Ukraine of wanting to get rich from mineral rights, but you won't accuse Russia of the same thing. In reality there will be rich people in each of those countries wanting to profit from minerals.
