And I don’t have a solution to what the best actions in this war are.
Here's the answer: For NATO to establish immediate and total superiority in Ukrainian air space and not wait until Ukrainians are trained, establish a DMZ on Russian and Belarusian territory around Ukraine.
I think that neither side should be ‘allowed’ to attack another country
And neither is. Russia broke several international laws, including the Budapest Memorandum which it signed on its own free will. Ukraine is not attacking, it's defending. Ukraine did not target anything that isn't directly connected to Russia's war effort. Military installations, military equipment factories, supply hubs, enlistment offices, and such are legitimate targets to defend itself. It's like kicking the knife out of the hands of a robber.
And I would prefer a more de-escalating attitude from the green party member Baerbock.
Which kind of deescalation? The Georgia 2008 kind? The Crimea 2014 kind? The Hitler Appeasement kind?
Putin is not my hero.
"Attacking russians (troops and inadvertently civilians) on russian soil… Why is that still considered defense?" You literally asked why attacking Russian troops is considered defense.
