  “Neighbor” was never an important detail, and only someone struggling to string together some type of deflection from the point would focus so deeply on it.

  Neighbor is the only qualifier that makes your claim arguably true for, say, 30-40 years. You included it yourself, I didn’t make you so it. If you get rid of the term “neigbor”, you are simply wrong.

  Instead of running away from it and trying to blame me for noticing, you could just acceot where I am correct and try to synthesize.

  You will get into conflicts and be consistently wrong if this is how you respond to correction.

  The point, as is abundantly clear to anyone with a couple of braincells to rub together, is that these countries are doing that now, as in at this moment, and are targeting civilians, which the person in responding to gladly ignored with their “but no, everyone says Russia is bad” bullshit.

  That applies to several countries, including US-backed Israel and the US-backed reactionaries in Syria, which is why the term “neighbor” does so much work. And in providing that obfuscatory defense, you are doing the thing you claim others are doing, which is excusing and minimizing war and death on civilians.

  And you have the gall to accuse me of making a bad faith argument. Once again, pathetic.

  It requires very little gall. You are putting on quite the display at the moment with the flurry of insults and deflections.
