    Sorry I’m off work now so won’t waste my free time to reply to that. Bottom line is: I believe you’re repeating russian propaganda and since I’ve actually spoken to other Russians and even Ukranians affected by the war, and since I believe actions speak louder than words (Georgia, Transnistria, Chechnya, Ukraine, etc), I don’t believe a word you’re saying.

    You believe your history, I’ll believe mine.

      Please feel free to take your time in responding because you have clearly taken none to formulate this response. The thought-terminating cliches are you insulting your own intelligence, an excuse to dismiss what I said without needing to actually counter it.

      I feel the need to tell you I’m not as stupid as you’re treating me. I’m sorry it’s not that easy for your rationalizations. Congratulations on knowing some Russians and Ukrainians. I also know Russians and Ukrainians. Though I also understand that they, being other complete and flawed humans, can share their own perspective colored by their own experiences and ideological wanderings. One of the Ukrainians I know is a sexual harasser. Shall I extrapolate this to my geopolitical analysis? This is such an unserious response, full of ego.

      Anyways, please recover the courage of your convictions at your own leisure.
