Wonderful and intriguing argument you put up there,the half of Europe you've mentioned were conquered by the Nazis and liberated by the soviets at huge costs of both man and machine,be mindful of the term liberated not fucked, the way you construct your argument not bringing to mind the question of why the soviets went there in the first place,if the Nazis didn't conquer all these parts of Germany why would the soviets March to all this countries,when have the soviets or Russians ever invaded other countries historically except in connection to when they were invade themselves like in the Napoleonic wars,the period after the Russian revolution when the us and Europe and Japan tried to invade Russia
Oh shit, if only we had something to compare against, like perhaps if the other half of Europe or even part of Germany itself was also liberated but not fucked. Unfortunately in your fantasy land everything west of Elbe is still ruled by Hitler apparently.
To put it into context,imagine if Russia trained and armed mexico or the cartels in mexico which is the united states standard modus operandi and engaged in a violent overthrow o the government there and then launched attacks to reclaim territories which are historically theirs say california, Texas killing tens of thousands of us citizens and killing and injuring tens of thousands of us servicemen what would the reaction be
Right, so in said fantasy land we have Ukraine attacking Russia and "reclaiming" territories since 2014 or even earlier, is that what you're trying to say here in these absurd contortions of whataboutism?
