Biden suffers from implicit prejudice. People who are in this form of racism don't believe they're racist but are unfortunately a product of their upbringing. Usually, these people will work to change their behavior when called out on it.
When people mention old issues to explain what they're doing today, it's important to remember that past problems don't make it right to break the rules now. International laws say you can't attack another country just because you had issues a long time ago. That kind of thinking can make a country act like a bully, deciding on its own what's right or wrong without listening to others, which is a bit like how authoritarian governments act.
Creating a buffer zone might seem like a good idea for safety, but taking over parts of another country to do this is against the law. Countries are supposed to respect each other's space and solve problems through talking, not by taking over. When a country ignores these rules, it's acting on its own authority without caring about international laws, which is another sign of authoritarian behavior.
Talking about NATO and how it might include countries like Georgia and Ukraine is a big deal, but using this as a reason to attack these countries is jumping to conclusions. Just because countries talk about something, doesn't mean it will definitely happen. Acting on assumptions and attacking because of what might happen is what authoritarian leaders do when they want to scare and control people.
Even if other countries are influencing Ukraine, that still doesn't give anyone the right to invade it. Every country should handle its issues internally or talk them out with others. Using force like this shows a desire to control and dictate what should happen, which is often seen in fascist governments.
And about what happened in 2014 and today, no matter how much influence comes from outside, it doesn’t justify using military force against another country. International laws are very clear about this. Ignoring these laws and doing what you want is a big sign of an authoritarian and possibly fascist approach.
Finally, trying to force a country to agree to something by using military power, like what's being said about Russia in 2022, isn’t how things should be done. It should be about making agreements in peaceful ways, not through force. When a country uses its military to push others around and make them agree to things, that's a lot like what fascist governments do.
So, looking at all these actions, they kind of show patterns that we see in authoritarian and fascist governments, where power and control are more important than following rules and respecting others.
Hey ANW, I get that there were projects like Aerodynamic and Prologue, but we should remember they were in response to what Communist Russia was doing in the East back then. It's important to understand that today's young people in Ukraine, who grew up after the Cold War ended, probably aren't thinking about old influences or conspiracies. They just want their country to be their own.
About Russia's actions, when Putin said he was just doing a military operation but then stayed longer, it makes you wonder. If it was just an operation, shouldn’t it have finished by now? Also, just because Putin claims there might be some Nazi presence in Ukraine, it doesn't give him or any country the right to move borders. This move goes against what he initially stated. This kind of action is a big deal because it goes against international law, that’s why the UN and many other places are really concerned and not okay with what’s happening. Let’s focus on these facts and not so much on guessing motives or past actions. It's clear that these actions are serious and have real consequences for everyone involved.
If we start justifying today's actions with yesterday’s history, we might as well prepare for endless battles over who’s been wronged the longest.
