Russia is less terrorist than Azerbaijan, but the latter isn’t even being sanctioned (and there’s been an ICJ decision against them, but everybody ignores it) for starving out a little country of 120k people right now in a medieval siege, and openly stating that they are doing exactly that.

I don’t think Ukraine has lots of problems. At least the aggressor there is recognized for what it is and the victim is recognized for what it is and armed by half the world.

I don’t think Ukraine deserves any attention, in fact, since in Artsakh they support Azerbaijan. Support of now finally actual genocide happening is what makes me think that.

Russian likes to threaten the world with nukes - nuclear war would inevitably lead to a nuclear holocaust that would cause the near extinction of the human species.

I don’t give a flying fuck about Azerbaijan. Russia is terrorizing the entire species of humanity. Until you’re threatening to wipe out the entire planet, you are not a terrorist on the same level as Russia.

  Tactical nukes usually.
  
  nuclear war would inevitably lead to a nuclear holocaust that would cause the near extinction of the human species.
  
  If you use tactical nukes, then it’s not much more significant than using thermobaric ordnance or cassettes or even chemical weapons or anything else kinda nasty and non-conventional.
  
  It won’t lead to a global thermonuclear war and thus a nuclear holocaust any more than use of sarin in Syria did.
  
  However! If you don’t give a flying fuck about a smaller holocaust then I don’t give one about your bigger one even if it involves me, I just don’t care.

    You didn’t mention the escalation policy of either of those countries during a war event.

I think Ukraine is a western puppet. But that doesn’t mean Russia isn’t also shit.

  Ukraine is not “western” puppet, it’s just a big oligarch-dominated part of the ex-USSR.
  
  Say, Transcaucasia was toxic nationalist-bandit-oligarch dominated, with these components being initially almost equally mixed, and to some extent still is.
  
  Russia was oligarch and FSB dominated, until those merged with FSB being on top.
  
  Ukraine was similar, but oligarchs are on top now.
  
  I wholeheartedly agree that Ukraine is better than Russia. It’s just more similar to Russia in the dimension of evil than most here seem to think.
