Yes and this is a important distinction, as there are many russians in the ukraine not supporting the invasion. They happen to live there.

And they feel threatened with such statements, as they are sadly way too common.

> the ukraine

You might want to switch to just 'Ukraine' without the 'the' when referring to the country. 'The Ukraine' is an outdated way of referring to the region without conceding that is also a valid and sovereign nation. Since the invasion this term has taken on further connotations.

Yes, that's a valid point, I am usually aware of, but just forgot.

You two have gone of some bizarre deep end here.

How's about we not kill anyone and find a peaceable solution.

[hayst4ck]

Peace requires justice.

If there is no justice, there can be no peace.

If you support peace in the presence of injustice, you support the injustice.

So it is a good exercise to think about the language we use to describe injustice such as hate speech.
