To attempt to terrorize the populace into submission. Duh.

By sending a couple of rockets a day?
They approached large Ukrainian cities several times, could not fire at them from rocket artillery, for example?

Attacking civilians in this manner has been shown to be an essential part of the Russian war strategy. The war in of itself is a war against the Ukrainian civilian. Do you then, seeing as you condemn the senseless killing of civilians, condemn this war?

I condemn civilian killings.

The SMO, I do not. I commend the SMO.

You fail to recognize them as one in the same, the smo is a war and it is a war in which the aggressor has utilized the tactics of targeting civilians to cause terror as a central part of its overall strategy. The smo is a war against the Ukrainian civilian. Condemn it, coward.

It's not a waste when your entire goal is to butcher civilians and you're engaging the people who know how to shoot back only when they're in the way of the civilians you're seeking to butcher, it's the military apparatus working as intended.

No, its the universal response to whenever Russia and its propaganda machine tries to deflect from any legitimate criticism by pointing at someone else and shouting about some actual or perceived wrongdoing they've done, as if their guilt absolves Russia of its guilt. Two wrongs do not make a right.

Weren't you talking about the Polish-Bolshevik war that started outside Polish core?


I was talking about the Polish-Soviet War that was started by Lenin trying to do an imperialism against the newly-independent Poland.

You are the one coming up with the excuses, the Russian federation seems very comfortable with its strategy of terror against civilians. You create these wild theories and fantasies in your brain so you can somehow justify yourself supporting the side that is mass murdering civilians. Its just sad really and it makes you an absolute coward.

It's called terror bombing. Some variation of the strategy has existed for 5,000 years.

There is no glory in tyranny. Also, the USSR was basically just the Russian Empire with a more effective PR campaign.

It is pardonable for a revolution to have a dictatorship.
And what is the similarity between the USSR and the RE, except for the territory? The economic system is different, the social structure is different.

Same imperialism and subjugation of ethnic minorities

Are minorities more important than humanity?

A gallon of milk costs $20 in Beijing, as long as we're spouting incorrect and irrelevant factoids.


What is irrelevant? Russia and other countries exist in one world.
You are clearly overusing this objection.

Bringing up "polish pans" (whatever the fuck that means) in Lithuania, Belarus, and Ukraine.

So if Poland is innocent, why did the war take place on the territory of the former Commonwealth, and not on the Polish national territories?

No, its the universal response to whenever Russia and its propaganda machine tries to deflect from any legitimate criticism by pointing at someone else and shouting about some actual or perceived wrongdoing they've done, as if their guilt absolves Russia of its guilt. Two wrongs do not make a right.

I do not understand why one must to be a saint in the world of bad people, for example.

I didn't make that argument. Poland was really active in the 20th century, and eventually lost.

As for previous centuries, why would they give a damn about this feudal nonsense?

Well,
You say Russia is doing this in defense, but these acts of evil are based on orders given from the top.

It’s hard enough to conceive of defense as “invaliding and bombing my neighbor” but it’s impossible to say something like “defending the Russian speakers in Ukraine” as Russia murders them en-masse.
