How do you make someone understand that being drafted by force and ordered to invade another country is not a good thing? (sh.itjust.works)

I don't think you know what the term radlib means. It's kind of sad. But I do know that when one country advances into another country, and expands territory, that's an aggressive fact. You can try to justify it however you want, I know you're trying hard, but it's just not convincing. Seizing the Crimea and then expanding more recently, those are the actions of a country that wants more power and more territory and more control. That's not the kind of country that I respect.

And if you want to point out that the US does shady stuff too, you're absolutely right. But that doesn't make Russia's actions reasonable.
