I’ve been affected by terrorism for the majority of my life - some people called it war, others terrorism. Some people objected to the military some welcomed it. The military here didn’t rape and kill people at will. I object to any point of view that an invasion of another country is appropriate. History is history and people should learn from it. Justifying an invasion in these times is just disgraceful.
Comments about Vietnam (60s and 70s) are not helpful as that was 50 years ago and, in my mind, people should have matured enough to avoid a repeat.
I’m totally incensed by anyone justifying this invasion of Ukraine - as you may have gathered.

Just to be clear, I don't think I have once justified the invasion of Ukraine, ever.
Likewise, I thought my post 2283 in reply to JVBulman was clear, and that my questions were leading highlight exactly how Russia's actions differ.
The comparison with Vietnam and earlier conflicts and atrocities (thinking particularly of the nuclear attacks on Japan), is relevant. It points out how shocking it is to see a major power that sits on the Security Council to act in a way that harks back to the early part of the last century.
TBH I think you are mixing my posts up with the other guy.

Only terrorism, and indirectly by the Yugoslav civil war.
Also I'm not really sure what you're getting at.
