> The war is going for a particular land with particular significance

As Putin himself said, Russia has no borders, so the orcs' goal is to subjugate everyone.

What history does Russia have in Romania (it still occupies Transnistria)?

What history does Russia have in Crimea (orcs only became the majority because of the execution/expulsion of the natives https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6a/Ethnic_P... )

> similarly to Panama's significance to the US

Why is it that Russians are the most jingoistic "Americans"? Whenever someone points out what Russia is doing, they immediately praise the US for doing a lesser version of the same thing.

If there's a similar significance does that mean you'll leave Ukraine afterwards?



It's counter productive to get into debates with people who call one side of the conflict as "orcs", it just shows that you've got skin in the game to object to everything that doesn't align with "Ukraine's right and is winning" narrative. But just to show your bias once again here's a few points:

> What history does Russia have in Romania (it still occupies Transnistria)?

It has the same common history with Carpathian Ruthenia land that Ukraine isn't willing to return to Hungary and Romania.

> Whenever someone points out what Russia is doing, they immediately praise the US for doing a lesser version of the same thing.

That's to show you that double-standards exist and that nobody seems to care as long as it serves their agenda.
