So Ukraine trying to defend itself from an imperialistic invader is escalatory now?.


You'll notice that agitprop often assigns or denies agency in a convenient way.

The US is supposed to have agency and bad intent.

Ukraine has no agency.

Russia is just acting reactively to provocations.

See also wife beater logic.


Plenty of NATO interventions, where not a single NATO member was attacked.

Russias melting permafrost has made many natural resources available. I bet some political do ors want to get their hands on those resources.


> Plenty of NATO interventions, where not a single NATO member was attacked.

But that’s not the context that Ukraine wants to join NATO in, Ukraine wants to join NATO to permanently kick the Russian imperialistic invaders out of their country and making sure they never come back.

Effectively just holding Russia to the multiple agreements they signed where they promised to respect and not threaten Ukraines borders or sovereignty.


You are trying to reason with russian troll. It futile, they have plenty of scripts to convince you white is black and black is white. Just move on
