Where did the American president threaten, and continuously threaten to drop nuclear weapons on a nation? Lets’s not confuse a minor Republican senator’s opinion with a position taken by a democratically elected president who does not threaten or say that America will drop nuclear bombs on other nations.

Regardless of any sins that the west has committed, the two most destructive threats which may well result in human extinction are climate change and a nuclear winter. No genocide on earth equals that.

So while I heartedly agree that genocide is evil, etc, I find your insistence that the sins of the west are equal to Putin’s threat to wipe out humanity if he can’t get what he wants hugely distasteful and repulsive.

Nor do I believe for a moment that Ukraine has been defended because it is white. The more likely answer is that it sits on the doorstep of NATO countries and western Europe, and if it falls to Russia, there is no buffer for Europe.

Everything is not about race, and I find in your writing a hatred of all things western. It is not a point of view that I have any respect for.

And now I will not be responding any longer.
