Perhaps we could apply a data driven assessment, to find which countries run on violence, e.g. people killed domestically, abroad, per country, per capita. The results may be surprising to many and not consistent with the mainstream narrative of the Collective West.

"It was totally okay for Russia to invade a country that was minding its' own business because other countries have problems".

Amazing take, right there. Can I subscribe to your newsletter?

It wasn't okay. I don't think you're responding to someone who is pro-war.

Strawman aside, do you think sanctions are fine? How can we ensure they're consistently applied to belligerent countries like the US? Because if random citizens need to suffer in order to "stop Putin's war machine" I have some terrible news for my fellow Americans. And it would be nice to have a space for that conversation while our state department manufactures consent for the next n proxy wars

I don't know whom you are quoting, but none of this was in my post.
