Ok, if you think so. I’m afraid that the politics of the real world is a bit more complex than "Putin is a Supervillain and must be stopped by the avengers NATO.
People act as if he’s a supervillain. The other person literally said that the war is happening “because he felt like it”. How is that not supervillain logic? How does that not abstract away that Putin acts in the political interest of a national state?
I’m not trying to argue for sympathy for that asshole. I just want people to think a teensy bit about the fact that states do things out of political calculations and interests. Not because one guy “feels like it”.
The fact that Putin is the one who started this war? This war wouldn’t be a thing if a) Russia didn’t annex Crimea, b) Russia didn’t send “totally not Russian troops” into Donbas and c) Russia didn’t do a full invasion of Ukraine. Not to mention this war would be over tomorrow if Putin withdrew his troops.
Putin started this and Putin can end this, it’s all his choice.
It seems you are the one arguing he’s a super villain, not the rest. And don’t you dare argue Doom is not a supervillain because he does things “out of political calculations and interests”.
Putin is a geriatric, history-revising madman who thinks he should be the tzar of the Soviet Union. He has been an autocrat for too long, has had only yes-men around him for more than two decades, and his head is simply too far up his ass. He has lost all grasp on reality.
It really is that simple. The world would be a better place without Putin and his cronies. There would be less violence in the world without Russia. What meaningful except for terror and fear has Russia exported in the past decade? Two?
Right.
Enough with the false equivalences, this war is unilaterally Russia’s fault. Russia is a rabid dog, bleeding out and trying to take down everything with it.
My stance isn’t very far off for all Russian soldiers in Ukraine and Putin, as well as anyone affiliated with him.
If you’re talking about there being no tzars in the Soviet Union: Obviously. It’s a figure of speech. The actual point went riiiiight over your head, Sherlock.
Amazing. Like it starts on its own.
Wouldn’t this critique also fit with OP’s post?
Edit: not trying to excuse anyone. Just stating that wars don’t happen because one guy feels like it.
Uh, the war in Ukraine absolutely happened because one guy felt like it.

the avengersNATO.Nobody thinks he’s a supervillain. He’s am egotistical asshole with power.
But he needs to be stopped and gtfo Ukraine.

How quickly people forget it’s called Putins “war of choice” for a reason.
What reason is that exactly, then?

How does that work if my stance is literally that “Wars don’t happen just because one guy feels like it” and sthe reply is “yu-uh!”?
Never said yu-uh. Same as didn’t say Putin is a super villain.
You’re only going around trying to have people to say “Putin has good reasons for genocide” and people ain’t buying it.

Sorry, I can’t take you ser after that display of utter historical ignorance/stupidity.
Your stance wouldn’t be too far off from “Jeder Schuss ein Russ”

I personally feel sorry for the Russian boys forced to die in the mud of ukraine. Fuck Putin, not his slaves.
“No, I didn’t say anything stupid! You’re the stoopid one for not getting it”
Aaaand we’re at dehumanizing Russians… great… /s
