    If you actually cared about them, you should do something about Russia’s short pathetic clown of a dictator. Then Russia would have a chance at respect on the world stage.

    Right now, the entire rest world would be better off if Russia didn’t exist. You let Putin make that so.

      Your own country is not a dictatorship yet it deals with Azerbaijan and Turkey. So you are responsible for that, democracy and all. I suggest you fix that first, then blabber about what I do and don’t do, which you don’t know anyway. Right now you are a valid target for that “hit them where they don’t expect it” option that the weaker side always has.

        The US is not threatening the world with nukes, and it isn’t destroying a neighboring country like Russia is destroying Ukraine.

        Russia is such a steaming heap of shit that it even makes the United States look good. Let that sink in.

            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.
