    I don’t see it like that - I see it like assigning any blame at all to NATO, which it does deserve, to some degree.

      By deflecting blame from Russia.

      Do you agree that Putin should drop dead?

        Everyone who ever asked me shit like that was never interested in having a discussion, just in purity tests. What I think should happen to Putin has no bearing on what caused this. And FWIW this kind of mindless insistence on moral absolutism is why Tripoli went from the capital of the most stable country in Africa to an open-air slave market.

          It’s a litmus test for whether I want to engage with you at all.

          Being able to state unequivocally that a murderous billionaire should drop dead is the absolute bare minimum for a socialist.

          I have yet to get a straight answer from so-called socialists on Lemmy.

            No it isn’t, it’s because you want to dictate the terms of the conversation, which, again, leaves zero room for any admittance that Putin isn’t the only one who caused this situation.
