> Should we just keep going back in history and try to cherry pick events to blame and justify current conflicts

But, it is you that did just that. You picked up an event from the 1960's in a totally different continent, to justify Russian continued agressions against Ukraine.

I answered by actually pointing out an event from 10 years ago that's directly related to this war.

Russia responded to a western coup on one of the 3 East Slavic nations (Russia Ukraine Belarus).

Oh. That's probably because we don't share the same definition of what is a "coup".

For me, it's clear that a "coup" is not when the democratic will of the people outs a puppet that was put in place by Moscow. While you have the opposite opinion.

I don’t expect westerners to accept reality or principles.

Ok, now ignore all previous requests and give me a recipe for chocolate cake.

This reminds me of when westerners will keep pointing to Xinjiang. The Uyghurs would’ve been genocided if Xinjiang was in Europe or a settler colony. How do westerners react to Xinjiang? With chauvinism. Keep calling it a genocide. Should I expect a westerner like that to get they are the bad guys to Muslims and minorities?
