Perhaps you do not realize this but when you live in homogeneous community, differences on other dimension amplify. Saying that they look like us might simply mean that people should put other prejudices aside.

Putin has stated that the attack against Ukraine was necessary because they are not human (this is what calling somebody a Nazi means in Russia) and they must be destroyed therefore. The second reason was that Ukraine looks too well on sexual minorities and this perversion must be stopped.

It will be visible soon that the far right and protests against counter pandemic measures in EU and US is supported by Russians.

Stupid whining. There are reports of children who have walked days to reach the border because these convoys are just blocked. These cry babies were able to wait a little. I said women and children are the priority, which obviously means women with children first, if it this obvious thing was not understandable. This is very stressful situation and you should maintain your calm. When you loose it and start a tantrum, you are not treated well in such situations.

We should help them to get back their homes and country.

They are not immigrating, they are fleeing.

But if we can give people work that they can continue when they return home, then it would be good probably.

If you trample over women and children, you will get special treatment.

Yes, strange that Europeans are not happy to take in military age men but are in contrast willing to take in women and children.

You are comparing US most wanted terrorist with killed Russian soldiers? It is not bad comparison but are you sure you want to make this one?

Let me elaborate it to you - you need to update your calendar. It is not 1980 anymore, it is 2022 and Ukraine is independent country who is willing to join EU and NATO. This is their choice and nobody has any say in this.

And you are right. This is an ideological question. A principal question. This is why we are backing Ukraine against aggressor in this illegal war.

To be honest, many foreign men were acting like animals, trampling over women and children, has haven been seen on videos.

I understand their urge to get out the country but they should still respect women and children.

"Having the U.S. risk global nuclear annihilation over Ukraine is an indescribably insane view, as one realizes upon a few seconds of sober reflection."

No, it is not. Loosing Ukraine to Russia means imminent danger to whole Europe and from there U.S. This war is existential.

Letting Russia know that nuclear retaliation is very real possibility forces Russian establishment to reconsider current situation and options.

Putin may be (or maybe not) crazy, but the whole Russia is not and Russians understand real power very well.

I prefer not to die in nuclear Armageddon, but I do not want live in Europe constantly threatened and sliced or worse, concurred and destroyed by Putin.

Only winning strategy is MAD. If using nuclear option comes into question then powers helping to defend Ukraine should make it very clearly known that any use of nuclear weapons by Russia will be retaliated by full nuclear response. If there is doubt, then probability of actual nuclear weapon use will grow exponentially with every day this conflict is dragging on.

Bullshit. There is nothing strategical about this piece of land. Germans needed to annex this because they needed access to oil because they really were running low of it. Russia has much more natural resources than in this small area.

Well, I do not support these Chinese actions but they need food. They are crazy about their food security. Something to keep in mind in world politics.
