If you want to be treated like a big boy on the world stage you need to accept that people will treat you like a big boy. Otherwise isolate yourself and stop trading with the world. | ||

Come on, we all know who is the target if Russia fell. We don't want to pick a side, but we have to. Zelensky recently said he is satisfied with China's choice,which means, in my comprehension, -had not supportted Russia openly. | ||

If your friend commits crimes against humanity, I think it is appropriate to stop being friends with them... | ||

Why your country did not quit NATO when NATO killed at least tens of thousands civilians in Asia? Is it not against humanity because the people you killed are not 'civilized' humans? | ||

I don't know what sources you're relying on, but they've been feeding you lies. If a NATO member shows aggression against another country, other NATO members are not bound to come to their aid. This is because NATO is not an offensive alliance, but a defensive pact. NATO members are bound to come to the defense of a NATO member who's home soil (not property) is attacked by another country. | ||

There are also ways in which it differs, and ways denmark differs from China, but some degree of whataboutism is kinda warranted. None of this justifies current support for Russia or inaction, but I highly understand opposition to a perceived western holier than thou attitude. Whataboutism is never warranted, or even acceptable. All it does is derail a discussion. If you want to argue the legality of an action according to international law, one can bring examples of successful cases of such application of laws as justification, but it makes no sense to say: "but they also broke the law, so it's fine". | ||

The official reason for the invasion was made up bullshit and everybody involved in the decision knew it. | ||

And it was to unseat a horrible dictator and still worked out horribly, even with trillions spent on rebuilt, the blitz working and used as an example of what not to do. So when Russia did the unprovoked attack of a democracy to expand their territory, countries around the world, rightfully so, said this is bad stop. We should and you are right. Just answered a question, there were similarities. | ||
