Quote:Understood.We criticize the US too we just donat constantly shit on it and constantly push Pro-Russian narratives from Pro-Russian sources. The line between Anti- War or Anti- US Imperialism and being a Pro-Russian Shill or at the very least an Anti-Western shill has been crossed in your case.
I certainly have no love for Erdogan. People often think that because I criticize the US, it means I love Putin or some other unpleasant alternative. Believe me, it's possible to dislike all of them.
Quote:Rather than being a cheerleader for one team or the other, it's possible to see them all more like billiard balls, and realize that if one of them behaves in a certain way, the laws of physics are going to cause the others to react in ways that are predictable. None of them is innocent, none of them operates in a vacuum.And this is nonsense. It's not a matter of being a cheerleader or believing one group is perfectly good it's clearly knowing when one side is clearly in the wrong and in this case Russia is clearly in the wrong. There is no excuse for their actions and no valid reason not to help stop them even if the actors trying to stop them aren't saints.
To reuse a Sci-Fi/Fantasy analogies you can object to the actions of The Rebel Alliance in Star Wars and still recognize The Galatic Empire was unquestionably evil. You can criticize Men and Elves and Dwarves for their many petty and vile acts and still recognize that Sauron is evil incarnate in Lord Of The Rings. Sometimes evil really is just evil and sometimes it's the opposition is simply highly flawed.
