This argument, I have heard in real life, sounds A LOT like the US justification for the war in Iraq. It even comes from people who probably opposed the war in Iraq at the outset.

Consider this: what event in Texas would justify the military of Mexico sacking Houston and then making a beeline towards Washington DC? If you answered "nothing Texas could do to its own people could justify that" then good, you probably oppose the Russian Invasion. And we don't have to discuss the details of some idelogues in Crimea.

If this post speaks truth to you, you’ve either drank too much of the Kool-aid or are in your third Junior year at political re-education camp

Is that why the Canadian speaker for the house of Commons had to just resign?

Or did you miss the bit where they had a standing ovation to a literal Waffen SS member as a 'Patriotic defender of Ukraine in WW2?

Its disgusting to just mark a group or rather country as one bad thing meanwhile sending fake scam job offers to cubanians and force them to fight against those people for no reason except Putin wants to.
