    biggest and bloodiest war of aggression this continent has seen since the Nazis

    That’s because the media doesn’t fully show what is happening in the rest of the world.

    With some digging, the wars in the rest of the world also reveal their western influence. The only difference is that most people fighting and dying are not white.

    I don’t think that we should make it an issue that the war is fought in Europe. We should treat it like any other war in the world. Everything else condones the other wars too much.

      So: thank you, but no derailing here.

        this continent has seen

        My argument is that in a globalized world we should know about all wars and it doesn’t matter where they are fought. Why should there be no war in Europe if we are happy to support wars all over the world? Europeans are not more worthy of being spared of war than anybody else in this world.

          Stop your whataboutism and derailing and stick to the topic at hand. If you don’t want/can’t, then don’t engage in this discussion.

            this continent has seen

            It’s a play on the word seen. The European stones haven’t seen bigger wars, but the eyes of the European people have. Europe has seen those wars, but has chosen to ignore them.
