Because as Ryuu mentioned several pages ago, Russia expected an easy victory. They expected to win in weeks. (I’m sure they did. But again, that doesn’t explain why Putin launched the invasion in the first place. There is further nuance. Putin’s plans may have been to neutralize the threat in a swift manner, but things didn’t go accordingly.) Somehow I doubt that you would argue that the US Revolutionary War was proof that Britain wasn't actually imperialistic. Why would they go to war that doesn't help their bottom line? How so? And again, the thing that troubles me about your position the most is that Putin himself is extremely proud of the fact that he feels Ukraine belongs to Russia; going back 1300 years. Yep…that doesn’t dispute anything I’m saying. I’m sure Putin has nationalist ferver, but the instigating force behind his invasion is certainly more nuanced than you lead it on to be.
Writing nuance requires tends to require writing a lot. I'm not sure how you can do a math PhD if you think Ryuu is writing a lot. (I read textbooks all day, and I’m very detailed with every single word on the page. I will write several pages on each sheet of a textbook: It is easy to see how a PhD would view Ryuu as going a little bit overboard.) And frankly sometimes it helps to say the same thing multiple times in different ways, because otherwise not everyone will get it.
It's no better than bragging about how wonderful your essay is, and how well researched you are. (This is an example of being playful bub lol.) How would you know he's dodging your points, you keep complaining about how much he's writing. (Cuz the points I’ve read from him, he always dodges. Haven’t read all his point, but the sample size I have leads me to this conclusion.) |
