No, I’m saying that recognizing the separatists regions and then accepting their request for help was the common element. It’s quite clear that Russia was not interested in destroying Ukraine as illustrated by the fact that Russia tried to make Minsk agreements for for whole eight years. I don’t know why you feel the need to continue making blatantly dishonest statements here. You’re not fooling anybody.
Ah, well it was surprising you mention that other part in your comparison so vividly. And I’m not sure where I stated anything at all, aside from the fallacy of what-about-ism in regards to NATO and Russia. The rest you interpreted yourself.
What I don’t understand is why “leftists” like you feel the need to vocally support an oligarch and dictator, instead of being able to say that the war in Ukraine is a pointless waste of human lives for which Putin is directly responsible as the aggressor.
Talking about whataboutism is just a way to paper over hypocrisy. It’s not a real argument. Then you proceeded to make it crystal clear that you are indeed a hypocrite.

Nice straw man there buddy, cause nowhere did I vocally support anything. What you’re being told is that what Russia is doing is no different from what the west has been doing, and that the west is just as responsible for starting and continuing this conflict. Apparently that’s just too hard a concept for you to comprehend.
The most incredible part is that multiple people in this very thread tried to explain the situation to you, and you just ignore the facts and continue regurgitating the talking points you’ve memorized. The sheer anti-intellectualism on display is stunning.
