Lemme just summarize the comment section for anybody else who comes along.

Russian apologist: Ukraine bad.
Replies: No. Unprovoked war makes things bad.

We don't need to know what "bad" means, right? Ukraine is bad due to some magical inherent property, not because of instituting drafts and migration bans, right? I am of the position that the war (which wasn't necessarily unprovoked to begin) wasn't the main cause of those things I am criticising, the government proposing those is the one at fault. I think that framing is at least a bit more complete than just "Ukraine bad."

And never mind calling critical people Russian apologists, like one can't hold critical views of both sides of a conflict.

Would you conscript people to fight in a revolution against the bourgeoisie?
