      Iraq was not good, but the US didn’t just bomb everything to hell, it also built a lot of new infrastructure and invested money and resources back into the local population.

      Can you even imagine Russian rebuilding anything for Ukrainians? Can you imagine Russia spending money to make life for Ukrainians better?

      Russia is full on the #1 most terrorist dictator state in the entire world.

        I mean, it did flood Chechnya with money. Mostly for the loyal bandits, but they do build stuff.

        Russia is full on the #1 most terrorist dictator state in the entire world.

        Not on the level of Turkey or Saudi Arabia, no. Or maybe at exactly the same level.

          What country is Turkey invading and destroying right now?

          Who is Turkey threatening with nukes?

          What country is Saudi Arabia destroying right now?

          What country is Saudi Arabia threatening with nukes?

          Lots of counties are doing lots of bad things. Russia is objectively the worst of all, by far.

            What country is Turkey invading and destroying right now?

            Syria, Artsakh, Cyprus.

            Who is Turkey threatening with nukes?

            It doesn’t have nukes, but it’s threatening its every neighbor, especially Greece and Armenia.

            What country is Saudi Arabia destroying right now?

            Yemen.

            What country is Saudi Arabia threatening with nukes?

            It doesn’t have nukes, but it was threatening Iran all the time until their recent rapprochement.

            Other than these, one is a fascist genocidal horde and another a medieval kingdom with beheadings and sharia law, both allied to NATO, though. Russia is just a very big mafia state in comparison.

            Russia is objectively the worst of all, by far.

            Why are you repeating something you can’t support with facts?

            Maybe you think Ukraine has more value than Syria or Yemen or Artsakh due to it being “European”? For me a human life is a human life, but if we differentiate them, then civilization-wise compared to people of these countries Ukrainians (and Russians) are almost savages.

              The Russia-Ukraina death toll passed 350,000 early this year.

              What is the death toll of Turkey’s conflict?

              Don’t be a hypocrite, follow your own rules and back yourself up with facts and statistics as why why Turkey is worse than Russia.

                It’s not about numbers. For example, I don’t think that if n+1 lives of your compatriots can be saved by sacrificing n of mine (or n/10 of mine), then it’s better than vice versa.

                Other than that, more than 2.5 mln of Armenian, Greek, Assyrian and Yazidi lives are not yet avenged since the end of the XIX century and the beginning of the XX century, and their lands not returned to the rightful owners. You are mistaken if you think there’s an expiration date, and that Turkey’s allies (as in any NATO country) are immune from this responsibility.

                Don’t be a hypocrite, follow your own rules and back yourself up with facts and statistics as why why Turkey is worse than Russia.

                I don’t think refusing to do this would make me a hypocrite, there’s nothing except your words to support that idea.

                However I think I just did.

                  What you’re saying is that you think Russia isn’t evil because Ukrainian lives are worth less than other lives. You excuse Russia from large-scale murder, and large scale nuclear threat.

                  It’s pretty clear what your agenda is. You’re pro-Russia terrorism.

                    I mean, there’s no single statement in your comment which wouldn’t be a lie.

                    Except for this:

                    You excuse Russia … and large scale nuclear threat

                    In this case your lie is a bit less direct and obvious. I don’t excuse any existing threat. I’m saying there’s no such threat.

                    Go fuck yourself.
