It seems like you've given yourself one of two options. You are either a) commenting in bad faith, or b) commenting as a useful idiot. If what you said is actually a non-sequitur, then you are a useful idiot. If you actually meant what you said, than its intentional and you are acting in bad faith: otherwise, why comment?

If you are ignorant, go take a 10 year read of history off the wikipedia and it should become clear to you "why this war is happening?", which is what your question was. Otherwise, I'm now under the assumption, based on the structure and pacing of your 'questions' , that you are commenting in bad faith.

Dude, I'm just trying to have a conversation about the topic. I tried to engage with him because he answered my comment.

I feel like I’m trapped inside a propaganda machine where the answers to all questions are “Putin is evil and the dumbest person on earth”

That isn't 'trying to have a conversation'. That is projecting a straw man ~~for no apparent reason~~ with the sole purpose of shutting down any dialogue.

I guess it's gonna be your word against mine.
