But having more self awareness than self righteousness is a very valuable and honorable trait which have been in staggeringly short supply amongst the shrill histrionic critics of the russian invasion.

For all your supposed intellect, you're a dumbass.

Meaning: The expression the pot calling the kettle black is an idiomatic phrase that people sometimes use to point out hypocrisy. It means that someone is criticizing another person for a fault they have even though the criticizer is also guilty of doing the same thing.

yes.   hypocrisy, exactly   but hypocrisy isn’t dumbass unless it arose from amusing lack of self awareness.

I didnt bring up ethnicity and language, you did.
I didnt elaborately describe the situation in the Ukraine with this regard, you did.

So i complied with your request and had a look at the linguistic and ethnographic map of Ukraine.
I just replied to your mostly false claims. Claims which werent only there to describe what happened, but to apologize for a war criminal. Thats why your errors were, without exception, "in russian favor", supporting the idea that Putins invation is somehow justified. You know it, and i know it, and everybody else knows, that you have your head up Putins butt, up to your toenails.

the description of ukraine was used to estimate how putin may attempt to configure ukraine  in the aftermath of the war.   it was not used to justify the war at all. 

you are stretching.

words have meanings.

Autocrat, perhaps, somewhat marginal, more like strong authoritarian,

But wanting to make sure existing and existentially important purgatives of a nation is not taken away by adversaries who unilaterally abrogated multiple agreements in the effort to take that away is certainly not a signal attribute of “power mad”.

unilaterally abrogating multiple treaty agreements in a sustained pursuit of taking away some other country’s existential parogative, is.

The Wolfowitz doctrine, using 9/11 as a excuse for trying to overthrow regimes we don’t like but unrelated to 9/11, invasion of Iraq, expanding NATO to russia’s door step, the unilateral abrogation of multiple arms control agreement with russia, those are signal signs of “power mad”,   pushing NATO back away from russia’s door steps is not exactly “power mad”

RE: Russia and Ukraine
At work.

This is the second medium I've seen the "American's lied about Iraq invasion. Therefore they can't critisize Russia."

Okay, seems a bit weird but what ever.

So, to the best of my knowledge, my country has nevef invaded any where else (Australia) thus can I justifiably say that Russia invading Ukraine is wrong?

How about those other 'Noninvasive' countys calling Russia wrong?
