    That’s a very simple way of putting things imo :)

    The west also has internet access. Some people still end up hateful/believing in flat earth/conspiracy theories.

    That doesn’t mean they’re bad people, just very misguided.

      Unfortunately their misguidance is putting them in a position where they’re there to kill Ukranians, and asking nicely didn’t get them to not be there.

      @Firipu It is always strange that there are people who pity the perpetrator and not the victim.

      The war on Ukraine is not a natural disaster. It is made by russians. Go Figure!

        Oh, I feel equally bad, or even worse when I see what happens to Ukrainians. My heart bleeds for what they’re going through.

        That doesn’t mean I can’t feel empathy for individual people that get killed in the blink of an eye…

      That distinction is completely pointless though. Misguided people murdering people still needs to be stopped, with violence if necessary. And it definitely is necessary when we are talking about them invading another country and murdering its citizens.
