Mass murdering was quite mutual, if I remember correctly. "From 1 January 1998 to 10 June 1999 the KLA killed 988 people and kidnapped 287; in the period from 10 June 1999 to 11 November 2001, when NATO took control in Kosovo, 847 were reported to have been killed and 1,154 kidnapped."
it was just NATO preferred to take sides
as for the Donbass, the Ukraine began indiscriminately killing the "separatists" by shelling and bombing cities and villages from the day they decided to separate from that fine, democratic and absolutely not corrupted state

Not so. Because some wrongs come unpunished and quickly swept under the carpet while others result in severe repercussions and finger pointing. Same old "do as I said, not as I do" adage.

Well, I'm sure a crowd of migrating lemmings will agree with you

Also irrelevant. The circumstances don't matter.
It is impossible to justify one wrong with another. There is no arguing around it.
mpopenker said:Well, I'm sure a crowd of migrating lemmings will agree with you
Again exactly the arguments the wrong way driver would use.
And also in the wrong context. Migrating Lemmings have to migrate because of the inadequacy or depletion of their food source. The migrating majority is right and does so for good reasons. If they would not they would have mass starvation.
BTW Lemmings do not commit suicide. That is a myth. They just migrate to other areas to find new food and lower the population density. Which is a rather smart way to handle such a problem. It is dumb to argue if in the line "all go this way, they must be wrong because I want the other way". This is just self centered hubris paired with stubborness.

They do afterwards. Otherwise the entire world would be sanctioning the US for their sins in Vietnam, A-stan, Iraq, Libya, etc etc
schnuersi said:It is dumb to argue if in the line "all go this way, they must be wrong because I want the other way"
are you arguing that the majority is always right and standing against it is always wrong?

WTAF?
I still want justice for my countrymen on MH17, murdered by Russian cunts when they shot down (another) airliner. As far as I’m concerned, the Ukraine can stop their counteroffensive at Vladivostok.

*by returning fire at invading Russian troops.
**“they” being the Russian army cosplaying as “homegrown separatist militia heroes”.

Ukraine ought to have given up her nuclear capability by expending it on Moscow.

well, Ukrainian air forces have a history of 1) shooting down airliners (as well as agricultural tractors) with obsolescent SAMs that went wild and 2) denying their own acts

First, Ukraine never had any control over nuclear weapons positioned there, they all were controlled from Moscow. So, literally, they never held the "red button". Same as Germans do not have any control over American nuclear weapons stationed there.
Second, had they kept the useless nukes, they'd sold most of the to the highest bidder by the 2010 the latest, same way they did with remaining cruise missiles and lots of missile tech from their Yuzhnoe design bureau. So I guess in that case US or EU or both would have steamrolled it by that time as well.
DavidPawley said:by returning fire at invading Russian troops.
So, the air strike against the administrative building in the center of Lugansk on June 2nd, 2014, which killed 8 and wounded 28 civilians, was "returning fire on Russian troops"?
