The contradiction is you insisting that the ruling government doesn’t matter while also stating that it can treat an ethnicity like shit. The only way that’s not a contradiction is if you think it doesn’t matter if the government treats an ethnicity like shit, and if you thought that then you wouldn’t have brought up Ukraine’s Romanians.
Is it an “existential” threat? No
Putin’s own writing shows that he doesn’t think that the Ukranian nationality is real, so for Ukraine as a nation (and I mean a nation as in “a distinct people” here, not “a state” or “a country”) yes, it absolutely is an existential threat.
You just refuse to see anything beyond the propaganda that you’re being fed & deflect from any point, instead shifting the conversation to a comfortable place for you.
I haven’t deflected a damn thing. You started the conversation by talking about Ukraine’s manpower shortage, and I replied to that. I’ve replied thoroughly to everything else you brought up up until you started doing the internal contradictions, at which point there is no point in me trying to reply.
For example: do you support the perpetual human rights violations and abuses committed by the TCC?
No, I don’t. I still don’t think that those abuses mean that we should abandon all of Ukraine. In fact, if Ukraine got the support it needed, I bet those violations would stop right away as well, because it wouldn’t be so desperate for soldiers any more. Same goes for the consular services.

How do you not realise how contradictory what you’re saying is?

Calling out your hypocrisy doesn’t mean your answers were on point. I’m sorry your hypocrisy is sad, maybe try not to be a hypocrite next time.
