Ok, I know I'm going to be downvoted to hell but hear me out. Did you know Ukraine was committing genocide in Donbas since 20014-ish? Did you know that Russia tried to negotiate peace between Ukraine and separatists till 2022 and nobody, including UN and other European countries gave a fuck? I'm not defending Russia here, any invasion of any country is not good by any stretch, and most probably it was all setup and provoked by Putin anyway. But I just really hate the double standards set by western people. Invasion of Iran, Iraq, Lybia, Vietnam, Korea, Yugoslavia and a dozen of other countries by west? Oh that's just protecting "democracy" and/or killing "bad terrorists", THAT'S DIFFERENT, THAT'S BECAUSE WE'RE GOOD AND THEY'RE BAD! Ok, what about slavery, colonialism, drug wars and economical exploitation that continued for centuries and sometimes continues to this day? Oh that was IN THE PAST WE'RE DIFFERENT AND BETTER NOW (France continues to have colonies overseas, as do Great Britain and many other western countries. US has several prisons outside it's official borders where they can torture prisoners and keep them indefinitely without formal legal procedures). Tell me that's not double standards you're maintaining! Tell me you have any right to judge what is good and what is bad after all the horrible things you have done yourselves! Again, I do not support Russia and I'm not from Russia. I'm sure I'll be downvoted to hell and this comment probably won't last even half an hour, but I think that you, westerners, think too much of yourselves.
