Why is Ukraine a target?
7 months ago
1. In what way is a leader (Zelenskyi) of a country (Ukraine), whose peace was taken away and which is forced to literally fight for its survival, is "worse" than a leader (Putin) of a country (Russia), responsible for all this mess?
2. Why are there so many "experts" (Ritter, Galloway, Hinckle, Mercouris, Sachs, McGregor, Nap9litano etc.) suddenly coming out of shadows and trying to prove why "should" Ukraine go "extinct"?
3. Why is everyone who hate Ukraine, including treacherous useful idiots, labelled as "heroes"?
4. Why is Ukraine labelled as "a villain" if it is Ukraine who was invaded and nobody, regardless of their views, denies this invasion?
5. Why is literally every single Russian crime is "whitewashed", why is Russia viewed as a "flawless angel" if it is trying to completely obilerate its western neighbor?
6. Why is Ukraine being labelled as a "warmonger" if it is Ukraine who was invaded and if the main idea of armed forces all around the world is to repel invasions (that's why they are called DEFENSE)?
7. Why is Ukrainian nationalism demonized, but Russian one is labelled as something "normal"?
8. Why are there entire media outlets, dedicated to lromote ukrainephobia?
9. Why is ukrainephobia labelled as "a freedom of speech", but russophobia is labelled as "a problem"?
10. Why is Soviet rule over Ukraine (1922-1991; no independence, opressions, repressions, Holodomor, supression of national identity etc.) labelled as something "good"?

"If you're weaker than me, you deserve anything I do against you. If I wasn't supposed to be using my strength to abuse you, you would have fought me off by now. Oh, you haven't? Then you must deserve the abuse."
Now, this is an absolutely insane way to run a political culture, but that's what we seem to be doing now. There's no good answer. This is a bad answer. But I think it's true.
The major difference between the schoolyard and modern geopolitics, as far as I can tell, is the yard is bigger, the stakes are higher, and the web of friends/enemies/allies/opponents gets more complicated.
But someone who believes they should be able to strike you down because they think their punch can overpower your ability to block or dodge it... isn't going to be motivated to stop swinging, even if you block successfully, even if you counterattack successfully. A bully whose pride is wounded will keep swinging until someone knocks them on their ass with a split lip, black eye, or bloody nose.
He will always try to get the most for himself in any negotiation, not for his country or people. The bargaining of minerals from Ukraine in advance of his Putin meeting were in his mind to "pay for" the weapons given under the Biden administration as if there was a bill for him to collect. I am glad that agreement was not finalized because he threw Ukraine under the bus the moment Svengali Putin talked to him. These are going to be a historic 4 years for both of us. I am truly sorry for the current situation and I hope that someone can talk sense to Trump.
Why is UKRAINE the one who "should" go!? Why is UKRAINE blamed if UKRAINE is being invaded?!
