I'm gonna point out though, that Ukraine has far more shared values with Russia than the west. Ukraine aspires to be under the sphere of influence of the west than Russia for economic reasons. This conflict is a bit like the Northern Ireland troubles, except the difference was that mainland Europe could do was to watch at the time

Looking at history, Russia seems like the lesser evil here. It makes far more sense to have security concerns over your backyard. Attacking the local mosque on the other side of the river, because a Muslim robber came by is not self-defense

> I’m smarter than you, so I’m going to pick your ideas apart and tell you exactly why you’re wrong

Eeh, if that affects you so much, that tells you much about your ego. People pick your ideas apart and tell you exactly why you’re wrong, not because they're smarter, but because they may offer you a different perspective. It's up to you to take that with a grain of salt, or be salty about it
