      Do you tankies all just like sniff a fuckload of glue or what? The country that invade another is defending itself and not the aggressor. It’s the country/alliance donating to the defense of the invaded country that is the true invader. Of course.

        You think it’s not possible to be aggressive unless you’ve invaded somwhere? Curious.

        I guess there’s no China aggression against Taiwan then. Agreed?

          Yes, it’s possible to be an aggressor without crossing borders. For example, by claiming international, shared, or someone else’s EEZ waters as your own, as China has done.

          Agreed. China is openly hostile towards Taiwan, but it has not committed any actual acts of aggression and none of China’s actions warrant a military response.

      Yeah the Kremlin is so worried about being invaded that they’re using all their troops in a genocidal land grab and can’t even guard their own capitol.

      If Russia was actually fighting against NATO troops, it would have lost long ago. And you know it.

      But you probably just need to pretend that Russia is fighting against big bad NATO so you don’t have to feel bad that all those Russians died and there is nothing to even show for.

        Because US/NATO is famously good at winning wars? Their weaponry and tactics have been exposed as shit in this conflict. Haven’t they just lost to subsistence farmers in Afghanistan?

        all those Russians died and there is nothing to even show for.

        Except all the people liberated from the Nazis in Ukraine who are no longer living in fear of ethnic cleansing.
