And I live in what was once Yugoslavia, and a part of our former country was bombed by nato.

Let's say you have a country, and there is a minority in that country... and people hate eachother a bit, due to historical reasons, there are tensions, a war, the minority unilaterally declares independence, some superpowers support them at this (others don't), main country disagrees and attacks the separatists, and after all that a superpower comes in and starts destroying the main country to get what they want.

If you're not sure if I'm talking about ukraine or kosovo, you're right, the scenario is the same, but since the americans were doing it back then, the destroying of the country was "good" and now it's "bad".

If switzerland pointed fingers at putin.. sure, point, curse, whatever. Nato members (including my current country now) should just stay quiet, because they did the same, many times before.

Hi, I live in Belgium, a country that like many others has a dark past of colonialism (who is currently trying to make amends for it).

We're pointing fingers. Switzerland is pointing fingers. I'm OK with the USA's support in the fingerpointing, so please let us have their fucking support. Every Ukrainian I know is OK with the USA's support, and it's been by far some of the most effective in this war, so please let them have their fucking support.

You don't get to pick and choose your own allies, LET ALONE SOMEONE ELSE'S.

I think everybody was sure you were talking about Kosovo and not Ukraine.
