I do and I don't. First, it is an unprovoked invasion of sovereign state. As such it is unlawful, morale bankrupt and totally unacceptable. It is also utterly stupid on more levels than can be possibly covered here.
It is kind of a grey area when it come to the West in general. The West invaded Afganistan, Iraq, Syria, Lybia, intervened in the Balkans. We in the West had Vietnam and Cuba, we had Algeria and all those little known wars in Africa. All of those were framed in ways not to different from what Russia is trying in Ukraine. Now, taking in refugees is seen as a sign of how great we are. When we refugees from other countries and regions in Europe it was called refugee crisis and ended up with people living in shitty camps and illegal push backs (the guy leading FRONTEX organizing those is still in charge despite indisputable proof). Europe is treating Ukrainian refugees way different from non-Ukrainians fleeing from the same war, not to mention those refugees stuck in Belarus. Western intervention in Ukraine is more than justified, once it is over and we have some time the West should do some much needed soul searching so. Not that I think that's gonna happen.
