    I see, it happens, apology accepted :)

    Well since you love fallacies so much I will overlook your appeal to authority and just quote the guy, who ever the heck he is.

    This is not to deny, of course, that Russia invaded Ukraine and started the war.

    So yeah. What else did I claim when I said that Putin is directly responsible for the war?

      I’m not making any appeal to authority. I’m providing you with well argued and sourced explanation of what actually happened. Notice how you did not address any of the points being made in the article.

      Nice cherry picking there because that’s not really the point that the article is making is it?

        No, why would I address anything of any subtly or nuance if you cannot even agree to the most basic facts. Facts backed up by your own source?

        All you have done so far is back pedal when I try to follow your reasoning. So, please come back to me if you are able to critique anything at all about Putin or Russia. Until then it is a waste of time talking to you.

          Facts backed by empirical evidence and history. The two things you continue to ignore here.

          I haven’t back pedaled on anything, but it’s clear that an honest discussion is not possible with you. Bye.
