That's a bunch of high-minded nonsense that will just get good people killed.

We didn't defeat Hitler by carefully sparing the lives of Germans. We defeated Hitler by killing literally millions of Germans in the most effective ways possible.

I disagree, there are good people on both sides.

Killing good people only leads to their children seeking revenge.

I don’t want my taxes to fund hatred between two nations.

You might say, “By that logic, the nazis would never have been defeated”. That’s true, but according to my moral values, I cannot accept my taxes funding the deaths of innocents and not oppose it.

There's a handful of good people in Russia. Case in point:

But obviously, comparing a nation of good people getting invaded by a nation of psychopaths invading them is absurd.

You might as well complain that police are "fueling hate" by arresting thieves. Which of course is a claim in western politics. By nutty psychopaths who are trying to equivocate good and evil.

"Nation of good people vs nation of psychopaths", that's a childish take Peter

The world isn't always shades of grey. Assuming it is is itself a childish take. That's the sort of morality "clever" 14 year olds come up with. Adults recognize that evil is sometimes real.
