16. I asked you:

-Do you see no difference between supporting the independence and sovereignty of Ukraine and supporting the war?
Need I remind you that Ukraine neither started nor caused the war you are objecting to?


To which you replied:
-Sounds like what the Vietnam war supporters would say

If you are looking for a strawman, that was it.

Not a word of condemnation of Russia, and an implicit expression of contempt for the Ukrainian flag. This does not exactly show support for Ukraine's struggle for independence, and your objection to war appears to have clear priorities: you are against supporting poxy wars, but you have no opinion about supporting wars of aggression. Tou are against supplying weapons but you have no opinion about using weapons on civilians. You are against murder wrapped in American flag, but you have nothing to say about murder wrapped in Russian flag.

Pretty weird for a principled pacifist.
