The Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization has found Russia responsible for shooting down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over Ukraine with the loss of 298 lives more than a decade ago.
Jesus. You’re just going straight fucking racist here, but you’re too historically ignorant to be aware of it.
I’m guessing it was intentional that you didn’t touch the British empire. There is no analysis you can do that would have any other government kill more people than the British empire. Should TERF Island “Be destroyed by all means short of overt, kinetic war”?
I mean, there is actual continuity between the current British Government and the British Empire. The Russian government doesn’t have anywhere near the same level of continuity.
And I am arguing in good faith. You may not enjoy the cognitive dissonance of having someone point out your obvious racism, but that doesn’t make me not believe you’re a racist that gets off on feeling self righteous. That is something I truly believe.
Just like the US killed far more Iraqi and Afghani’s than Russia killed Ukrainians. SO FAR. That may eventually not be true anymore, but it is an absolute fact now. And facts aren’t a bad faith argument.
You know what is a bad faith argument? Ignoring the points in the comment that you are responding to that prove you’re either wrong or racistly holding a double standard based on … something? That is also something I absolutely believe and am arguing in good faith. Although, I suspect that you don’t actually know what “bad faith” means.
You know what is also a bad faith argument? Calling someone insane for a strawman argument that you made up. I didn’t claim America kill more than 20 million people worldwide. What I did state was that the US kill more Iraqis and Afghani’s than Russia killed Ukrainians. Both were illegal invasions.
You don’t care about justice. Stop pretending you do.
EDIT:
Iraq - Afghanistan: 4 million
Vietnam - Korea: 5 million
The Jakarta Method: 1 million
There’s at least half of the number that you think justifies destroying a nation that isn’t related to the one you’re talking about.
What percentage of 20 million deaths crosses the threshold you have for countries that should be destroyed?
Not racist to hate Russians, anymore than it’s racist to hate nazis. The race is Slav.
I know people who suffered under the iron curtain, I know Czechs who watched the tanks come through whenever they tried to speak their minds.
If Russia had stayed in their shit country where they belong then everybody would have been happy to pretend they didn’t exist, but they didn’t.
There is absolutely no hope to not have war.
Russia can’t help themselves, they must keep pushing till they reimpose the hell of the soviet union on their neighbors, it is the extension of the moscovy empire above all, and even most Russians hate the ruling power of Moscow.
I think you two are missing each other. One is regionally focussed and responding to the immediacy of a regional crisis; the rhetoric is to encourage action that will alleviate the regional crisis, including an appeal to globalism. The other is enforcing a global viewpoint that tries to trump any regional concerns out of principle and the rhetoric is aimed at the global forum that is lemmy.
Horse vs pony. Whatever, people.
The quibbles over the categorization niceties turn into accusations of racism. Which may or may not be active in this situation but the evidence is not established well enough for the accusation, which is simply a rhetorical trump card here.
Sadly, the state of discourse is so poisonous that ethnicity, which is real, is being swapped out for race, which is not real.

I welcome your deranged response.
I don’t need to respond with anything. The racism is absolutely clear to anyone reading your words.
I’m also willing to bet you don’t feel the same way about the English.
I don’t have a problem with the English.
Nor do I have a problem with most countries.
Russia are the exception, they have only ever brought misery and brutality.
Ironically enough, their worst victims were always their Slavic brothers.
Talk about raicsm, why do they hate their own race so? You don’t pull a Holodomor without a lot of deep-seated hatred.
