    I’m not a troll but it’s unsurprising you are quick to hate considering your opinions toward mankind.

    You’re literally avoiding answering the hard questions and instead throw up shit like that moth thing. That is standard troll behavior. Just because you want to believe you’re not a troll doesn’t mean you aren’t one. Go on, prove me wrong, do the non-troll thing and actually answer my questions instead of tip-toeing around them.

    A country is not their government, their history is not their current posturing, the action of their military is the expression of their local communities.

    Technically they are. The country is the governing body set up by the people that make up said country. In the case of Russia that government is corrupted and that government is to the detriment to its own people and now also a detriment to the surrounding countries. I am sympathetic to the struggles of the average Russian, but unlike you I don’t live in la-la land where everyone gets to have and eat their cake. They’ve let their country slip into corruption and ultimately that is on them because we can’t fix that without an even greater conflict. They’ve let their government get corrupted and the actions of that corrupt government has brought sanctions upon them.

    And I get that not all of them are to blame, but we get back to the questions you deliberately avoided. Are we not supposed to sanction Russia and let them have their way with Ukraine? If we should sanction Russia and there is a costly way to make sure those sanctions wouldn’t overreach, do you want your tax money to be spent essentially on the well-being of Russians. Even if you know you’re likely to gain little to no benefit from that spending?
