      Russia turned the other cheek for eight years as Ukraine continued breaking treaty after treaty and committing genocide on Russia's border while at the same time threatening to host NATO nuclear weapons and invade their territory. They were dragged into this war by necessity. If I had any doubt in your typical American ignorance of foreign affairs, I would call you the warmonger. But I just call you an idiot.

      Learn what the fuck you're talking about. Stop using words for their impact alone.

          hey as long as we're concerned about warmongering imperialists killing civilians indiscriminately, might as well not forget the all-time world champions

              Alexa, look up "British empire genocide". Oh dear. It's unclear what you were searching for.

              Did you mean...

              Is it the 10 million the Brits killed in 1770 in India?

              The 5 million in India, again, in the 1870's?

              The thousands they killed in, you guessed it, India again in the 1920's by kettling and mass executing protestors?

              The tens of thousands in Malaysia in the 1950's?

              The "Boer War?"

              IS IRELAND REAL? WHO COULD SAY!

              Brits are the GOAT world champions at imperialist genocide. The US is trying their best, but its a hard record to top.

              Anyway, england-cool
