Who is justifying it? To be clear, I'm a pacifist and against all wars. I too believe in the self sovereignty of people. One can be against the Russian invasion, and for the peace treaty that was about to be signed spring 2022 before Boris Johnson came and put a stop to it. Diplomacy over bombs I say, but our leaders see it as economical to fund a war against Russia, so that Ukrainians can fight it instead of our guys. I think that's inhumane and unwise.

I am also against war. I guess I was confused when you implied the US are the bad guys in the invasion of Ukraine.

There is only one country that can stop this war, and that's Russia. To me that makes it pretty clear that if anyone were considered the 'bad guys' of the situation it would be them.

It doesn't help that you're repeating a lot of ugly propaganda; "Slava Ukraini" has been a popular phrase since the Ukrainian war for independence in 1917, it's not a Nazi expression, it predates the existence of Nazis. It's a symbol of Ukrainian sovereignty and resistance to foreign aggression.
