This viewpoint is simplistic to the point of absurdity.

Sometimes I wonder if these types of comments are state sponsored

[loudmax]

I don't know how active the IRA is on HN, but there absolutely are state sponsored comments like those on the internet.

Are we back to blaming the JDF too? Why not, right? Everyone I disagree with is a state agent

And your comment is useless and adds nothing.

I assume you are refrring to the laughable statement:

> The only thing the US is responsible for is that they could have maybe threatened Russia enough to not invade.

as if that wasnt a factor (by proxy via NATO) initiating Russian aggression.

This is basically the "she wore a short dress" defense...

The only country that initiated Russian aggression is Russia.

I'm not sure why you characterize the assertion as a "defense". It's a reason.

People do things for reasons. Everyone makes choices based on how they perceive the world and predict the future from there. To flatly ignore circumstance is not constructive.

It's a shit reason.

Just like wearing a short dress is a "reason" rapists claim to rape.

Russia is raping and killing for reasons. But those reasons are shit and Ukraine doesn't deserve what's happening to them.
