I would prefer not seeing this kind of phrasing here. It looks like hanrahan had misunderstood something, was writing in good faith, and is very much of the same opinions as you are.

Of course "Fuck Eurpeans" was not the most tactful phrasing either, but it's still not directly directed towards an individual person, unlike "fuck you". (And of course: If there's an actual pro-Russian monster in the conversation, feel free to use bad words of them!)

Of course all in all, it's good to see two people who both are as very vehemently on Ukraine's side as both of youse seem to be!

I removed it, but considering he wrote fuck Europeans I felt I was entitled to respond similarly, for all the reasons I stated in my response.

Entirely human :)

It's just good to keep the level of conversation excellent instead of just good. It's in the interests of Ukraine!

Which is why I find it very strange with the anti EU sentiment often seen here, considering EU and EU member states provide by far the biggest support for Ukraine.
I really do consider those people idiots.
EU has very wide sanctions on Russia more than any country in the world (Apart from Ukraine of course), while China, India and USA has had next to no sanctions with USA only introducing new sanctions on Russia last week.
I completely agree in supporting Ukraine, and I also disagree on blaming the countries that help the most, usually based on ignorance.
