i took from your criticism of putin that it makes sense not to support him, i havent gotten the same feeling about you with Ukraine.

So, when the ICBMs are reducing millions of people around the world to an ash shadow in an instant, are you still going to die on the hill of the beliefs which you've tied inexorably to your identity, or will you then, maybe, just maybe, question that you may have been wrong?

I'd kill the Welsh if they attacked us, I wouldn't like it but you have to defend yourself. Especially when your democracy is at risk of being replaced with a puppet regime

Yes, we didn't care much, because our governments valued gas, oil and the money of oligarchs more than Ukraine's territorial integrity. It was a mistake and we won't make it again.

I'm against the war. The longer it lasts the more grief and sorrow it brings. Sooner or later it will affect my family in Western Ukraine. I can't send them any aid because of Russian Post, can't send them money because of sanctions, can't go there. All I can do is to spread the truth and open somebody's eyes.

i only posted the military aid, i edited out all the food aid etc.

also I agree with Norlander's overall view.

in addition, I acknowledge there is neither appetite nor will (either here or) in the west for any blame (or soul searching). However, while I am moving on my beliefs that the west is predominantly to blame here are unchanged, i.e. just because few agree with me, does not mean that we am wrong. there was no need to go the whole nato route. Ukraine would have prospered without it. but i dont want to waste my time on that discussion (again) when the outcome is already known, and the point is not to change peoples minds but rather to open them. if most countries on the planet are aportioning 100% of the blame on russia, and it makes them comfortable at night, well thats on them not me.

that video is not about medicine or food though, did you not mean to link another video ?

Im not pro war either, but in reality for it to end someone needs to force the other side into submission. you cant expect either side at this point to quit, that time has long past.

Putin's lovers have some kind of Stockholm syndrome.

and literally no one is surprised...
