And yet the idea that Russia has or ever had some rational reason to be threatened by any of this noise, or that it any other substantive way led to the invasions of 2014 or 2022 -- is still entirely fake. It's just another form of this basically:

‘Jeez, mate, there’s a dead Banderist on the table!’ is what your footnote salad amounts to.

"footnote salad"

That's very regrettable attitude to fact-based discussion which is the only kind of discussion that is interesting for me.

But it isn't really fact-based. It only appears that way.

It doesn't matter how many individual factoids you lay out -- if the greater narrative you cast around them (and subordinate these facts into) is so plainly and fundamentally broken. That's why your salad wilts at first contact with fresh air, and your essay yields such a terse response.

Je ne regrette rien.
