    But that’s not what is happening.

    What is happening is directly pointing out that this was is NOT different. That this war is ALSO unjustified.

    In war, the aggressors are the problem. Period. And lending support to the aggressed is not the same as supporting war.

    It would work, simply letting Russia finish a genocide against Ukraine or Israel finish a genocide against Palestine. The conflict would certainly be resolved that way. But if you think it is an acceptable outcome, you value peace too highly.

      Oh, I agree. Personally I think the world has a duty to stop any country attempting to annex parts of any other country.

      I was just tickled by that exchange.

        When you’re talking about war vs invasion and defense, every word matters. I’m not saying that war was justified at all because Russia invaded and started attacking them. So yeah, you’re making a poor comparison.

          Ah, ok, I see what’s happened.

          Ok, misunderstanding. I’m not American - I didn’t see the connection with the US being the aggressor in the examples in the comic. I was just interpreting it as ‘Anti-War’.

          The rest of the exchange makes more sense now!

          I was honestly baffled, it felt like I was having a different conversation than everyone else.

            No worries, I appreciate you explaining and not deleting so people could understand what we’re all talking about.
