Do you really refrain from calling out such invasions and wars because that "serve no practical purpose"? I find that surprising.

Do you really not understand that provoking wars simply results in mass death and suffering? Or perhaps you enjoy other people dying and suffering, I'm begging to think the latter is actually the case here.

I'm just saying I'm against such wars. Aren't you?

I am against wars, and NATO provoked this war by pushing past Russia's red lines. Russia responded the exact same way NATO would've responded if Russia was the one pushing into NATO. So, if you're against senseless wars then you should be against NATO expansion.

I'm just surprised you're against Russia's war in Ukraine. I didn't expect that.

Sometimes people get so hung up on their ideologies that they permit something for some people or side that they'd absolutely condemn for the other. It's all too common. But I shouldn't have assumed that was the case here.
