    So invade your country, grab a few parts, then we have a ceasefire and a diplomatic solution where i keep the land that i already got. And then i repeat it. Is this a “pro-peace” stand? Or is it a “pro-conquering” stance, that enables this behaviour?

    Would he have the same opinion about nazi Germany invading and conquering other countries? Maybe a peace for our time kind of deal?

        That reply is pure Russia propaganda drivel.

        It’s hit every made up Russian talking point “Oh it’s NATO expanding, we had to attack someone else because how dare they want to think about defending from us. Oh and they were all totally Nazis, now excuse us as we wipe out the Ukrainians as a peoples”

          1. I explicitly said the Russian invasion was not justified

          2. Propaganda is often a kernel of truth wrapped in a lie. That’s true of US & EU propaganda as well.

            No.

            The best propaganda is that which is true.

            That doesn’t mean all propaganda is true.

            And you can “say” what you want, your actions show an attempt to justify it.
