| | Re: World War 3 or just a local spat in Ukraine? | Quote: | |  | | | I feel that the main reason that people here have problem with your views is that you chose Switzerland for some reason and you are still free to change that choice.
At the same time you seem to praise how life in Russia looks like and how wrong "the western" people are about that.
So then people here will ask themselves "why is he not living in Russia then? If living in Russia seems to be better than in Switzerland". There is an inconsistency in logic from their point of view.
And then they come with the conclusion of "Russian troll". It's the explanation for that inconsistency. | | | | | I don’t remember ever saying how great life in Russia is……I’ve never even been to Russia. For the record I am not rooting for Russia. It sucks that they invaded Ukraine, I won’t justify it, it can’t be. But it is a conflict between them and I do not support interventionism in this war. It is of no benefit to the people of the US or western Europe except some vague idea that the Russians will then march across the plains of eastern Europe to Berlin and Paris. (Yawn)

Neil Hauer is Canadian, this reads more like Ukrainian propaganda.
He often works for CNN like "Georgia's defiant Orthodox church will host Easter worshipers despite lockdown. By Neil Hauer, for CNN"

second part was also rather damning: Very pessimistic towards Ukrainian leadership: "You have to understand that there are two castes in this country: the upper, and the lower. We're the lower. They get the money, and we're expected to just march forward and die." |

You do not support interventionism in this war which you (apparently) find unfair? What's your attitude when an elderly or a woman is attacked by a 2 m tall thug, that "it's their conflict"? It is of benefit to the people of Eastern Europe hence all Europe because if this crazy clique in Kremlin wins now they'll continue terrorising everyone with their appetite for expansion.
I see, you want Europe back to what it used to be 30 years ago. Sorry, that ship has sailed...it's time to wake up and smell the coffee.

pulling out a phone and recording it for social media is probably also acceptable these days.
