Keep parroting US State Department lines and I’ll keep accusing you of being willfully ignorant. My main point is that international conflicts are more nuanced than one side being the “bad guy”. You can accuse me of being overly sympathetic to Russia, but I have no interest in talking about me: Let’s focus on you for a bit, okay? How could you possibly be telling me that my more open-ended perspective on the conflict is less correct than your assertive perspective which relies heavily on some narrative? What evidence do you have to truly back your claims? And taking lines from speeches and what-not isn’t sufficient: Biden and Putin always talk about wanting to engage in peace talks, for example, yet if I pulled this bit of evidence up coming from Putin, you would reject it as rhetoric (as you reasonably should). Let’s get deep into examining the intent behind each countries’ potential interest in engaging/withdrawing from such conflict. To me, it does not at all feel sufficient to narrow it down to Putin wanting imperialist glory. (And I’ll be back later with my points…I’m pushing it off bc while yes the semester is over, I do still have lots of studying to do…I am a math phd, as you may remember.)
