To be a little less flippant:
Would you rather elect Trump or Desantis in two and a half years, or have your entire nation laid waste by a nation which murdered 1/3 of your nation’s population 80 years ago, citing the Biden election, going forth and bombing every one of America’s major cities?
IOW: Yes, Petrochenkov and Soros did terribly evil things in Ukraine, but that doesn’t make Russia’s invasion justifiable.
Ukraine wasn’t a nation then, nor for many, many centuries before it.
The soviet union wasn’t Russia, and Stalin wasn’t even Russian. Anyone who disagreed with Stalin would be disappeared along with their family.
It is absurd and insane to collectively blame Russia forever for what Stalin did.
By the way, most of the people who implemented the Holomodor directly were... Ukrainian. Not that I blame them, see previous statement about Stalin’s totalitarian terror meaning they had little real choice
Russia’s invasion is not justifiable. But neither is ours. If we were not in Ukraine Russia would not be in this fight. They would be working with Ukraine.
Also Russia resisted fiercely the takeover by the communists, there was a civil war, the white’s vs the red’s.
You might also consider that Russians suffered not less terribly than the Ukrainians from the soviet communists.
So? Poland wasn’t a nation from 1795 to 1918, so they don’t have a right to exist?
