I read your link in that paragraph, and it's pretty clear where the issue is here - you are a morally bankrupt person.

Somehow in your mind, Ukraine, a sovereign state, doing things that Russia does not approve of somehow is some sort of acceptable reason for a unilateral invasion of Ukraine with maximum cruelty, destruction, bloodshed, torture and rape.

You write this: "Ukraine’s separation involved difficult negotiations over Russian nuclear weapons in Ukraine" - but don't go on to say that the result was that Ukraine gave all its weapons to Russia, in exchange for an agreement that Russia would never invade it.

Why do you not mention this key fact? Because you're a morally bankrupt person.

You write this: "In 1997, Ukraine signed a Charter on a Distinctive Partnership with NATO. While never becoming a full member, Ukraine has continued to strengthen its ties to NATO."

Why don't you mention that Ukraine applied for membership in NATO, but was turned down, so as not to anger Russia? I'm starting to think that moral bankruptcy is not sufficient to account for this deliberately deceptive prose.

You quote Putin: "Chief among these were the expansion of NATO’s military apparatus, potentially including nuclear weapons, toward Russian borders; US domination of global affairs and disregard of international law in the post-Cold War world, including bombings in Yugoslavia, Iraq, Syria, and elsewhere;"

You refer to these claims as "legitimate": but w ow, exactly, does "US domination of global affairs" justifying mass killing and destruction in Ukraine?

It doesn't.

I no longer believe you are simply morally empty - I think you are fully aware of your own evil.

I hope one day you experience a tiny fraction of the horrors that people in Ukraine have been experiencing for a year. Of course, as a sociopath you would simply whine about your own suffering, and never learn from this that suffering is bad.

You're a bad person, and you should feel bad, but you never will.
