You’re getting a bit chippy with people here and not for the first time, up to here I’ve been nothing but respectful in response to you.
I didn’t mention our media. I lived in Moscow mate, I’d wager with nearly 7 years in the former USSR I get information from a more eclectic and informed range of sources than you can.
By saying Slavs are “one and the same” shows a serious lack of understanding both of ethnicity and history, similar to ones Putin and other Russian nationalists make funnily enough… they have different languages, have been parts of different empires, have different historical experiences etc etc.
Your accusations of war mongering are insulting and go against the words people are actually saying - no one wants this damn war (I had to uproot my family and leave my f*cking home because of it thankyou very much) but it’s been thrust upon us by a real war monger and it isn’t just going away because you want it to. That’s regardless of any interventions, Russia is in Ukrainian territory and the Ukrainians don’t want them there.
Regardless, I’ve politely asked more than once for your solutions and you have offered nothing of any depth or substance and no critical understanding of this war and how different options would play out - this is always partially guesswork but at least try to understand the full context, especially when Putin has told us and demonstrated to us his intentions since as far back as 2007, now that’s fact and not “our media” or my own opinion.
Finally, Putin is highly unlikely to “be a nutter”, seriously listen to what he says and does. I’ve explained before on this thread the reasons, if you choose to believe he’s just mad then you aren’t seriously engaging with what he shows us bar some cliched, western tabloid caricature. Also, you advocate western governments trying to remove Putin in one of your posts… considering that’s a direct threat to Russia and could certainly lead to nuclear exchange, and you call others war mongers?!
