And yet it was a common topic of conversation before the conflict. Why are you fixated on present media narratives and offended by the possibility of facts that don't align well with your support of the allies?

    Millions of lives destroyed? About 15,000 killed in action on each side in a conflict that's been escalating for the last 10 years at least. Get your facts straight.

    I'm entitled to not pick a side, and I'm entitled to not give a shit when a provocateur gets a reaction. Ukraine has for a long time been ranked as one of the top three most corrupt countries in the world, and by escalating this conflict and avoiding solutions for ceasefire they have had an unlimited source of free funds from the west, paid for by the tax-payer of countries not affected by the conflict. They can fuck off and so can you and their 600 reported Nazis. It was well understood that expanding NATO would lead to this, and yet it's been encouraged at every opportunity.

      Hmm, it seems a Google search result snippet way overestimated the figure. It's far lower according to various statistical organizations.
