If you can’t restrain yourself from childish insults, you’ll probably get banned. It also makes everyone think you’re a child, and they will ignore your arguments because of it.

Also, it’s “butt hurt”. Please try and at least spell your insults correctly, they lose a lot of their impact when riddled with typos.

> west proceeds to deeply fuck with ukraine for 8 years while russia repeats the above and totally ignores it

There is a reason why I accuse those who take this line of being chauvinists. First of all, for the past 8 years Ukraine has been begging for Western weapons and assistance, because Russia had already invaded their territory. You’re ignoring the fact that Ukraine has their own agenda and own initiative, and they can request assistance legitimately.

Second, “mess with Ukraine and we’ll invade” is not a legitimate stance to take. Ukraine is a sovereign nation, not a Russian puppet state that Putin can put claims on. Especially when that “messing” is in the form of legitimate arms deals between sovereign nations. Russia can complain all it wants, but Ukraine trying to buy Javelins is not a legitimate casus belli.

Third, again, Putin made it very clear in his initial speech that he views Ukraine as a fake state, which is wildly out of line with the argument you’re trying to make, and much more characteristic of Russian chauvinism towards Ukraine.
