      We don’t need to know what “bad” means, right? Ukraine is bad due to some magical inherent property, not because of instituting drafts and migration bans, right? I am of the position that the war (which wasn’t necessarily unprovoked to begin) wasn’t the main cause of those things I am criticising, the government proposing those is the one at fault. I think that framing is at least a bit more complete than just “Ukraine bad.”

      And never mind calling critical people Russian apologists, like one can’t hold critical views of both sides of a conflict.
