    How utterly vile of you to call a country cowardly because they don’t toe your ideological line. Have you considered that maybe China is just that much more of a threat right now? That the world isn’t as simple or easy as you want it to be? No, because you’re a pathetic coward who can’t handle the truth.

        Don’t worry! The pesticides have already enacted similar horrors on Mexican farm workers for decades. Add that to the effects of pollution on people who live near freeways, my family is intimately aware about such things. They’ve blamed my autism on it, but I only think my mother’s asthma can be definitively linked…

            No hug. Not until you promise to stop calling countries cowards for playing empires off one another. Not until you stop simping for empires like it’s team sports. Opening your eyes is the only act of kindness I request of you.

                Your friend had no chance of avoiding violence from the Russian state. Ukrainians have to choose either violence from a puppet state, or violence from the Russian invaders. It might seem like the latter is worse, but the genocide they’ve suffered under the USSR with nobody to fight for them but literal Nazis was fairly miserable too. Famine as a food exporter was brutal, as is family separation and being unable to speak your own language.
