Do you think Zelensky thinks military power is a useful tool?
I think the people of Ukraine would have found it useful for Putin to not use that “tool” against them.
But yeah, while I’m of course on his side with regards to the war itself, I also think that Zelinski is finding emergency war powers a very useful tool to suppress political opposition and otherwise further his own political power.
Do you think he and NATO are doing evil by defending Ukraine?
Of course not, but there’d be no invasion to defend against in the first place if not for the military power of genocidal war criminals like Putin
I am curious though how a defensive war fits into your “military power is evil” mindset.
As I pointed out above, it fits fine since there would be no necessity to defend yourself against military power if not attacked with military power.
