    Has the thought ever occur to you, that maybe Russia can just leave Ukraine be? Just maybe another country that is resisting wants to keep it’s sovereignty? Maybe the Tankie word is for people that fails to have any critical thought?

      The Russian Federation did leave Ukraine be. It was only after Western meddling, a coup, a civil war, not implementing agreements, toying with NATO membership, and resuming a civilian shelling campaign that the RF invaded.

      The imperial core Western powers poked and prodded and used Ukraine as a pawn until the RF hit its limit.

      Given that you likely live in one of the countries doing the relentless escalation, why not work against them doing so?
