You mentioned Minsk. For me, the Budapest Memorandum is more significant. New Zealand stood up to the US on nuclear proliferation. It is not easy for small countries to do that. Russia has completed undermined us by abandoning Budapest. Russia's colonialism does not respect anyone's independents

Similar dissent is not tolerated in Russia. The repression of alternative views and an open public conversation in Russia is leading to poor political leadership and decisions.

Indead western support of the genoside is shamful. But I know many good people in the West who speak out and act against this. I believe there is real potential for this to make a difference.

Yes, I don't think you have a strong point with the combatant/civilian thing. Which leaves your argument only moral equivalents. Clearly, both wars are abominable colonialism.

I don't understand. This is too oblique for me. I don't think you mean: Israel killing Palestinians, Russia killing Ukrainians, is equivalent? Can you explain what you mean.
