When did I say they don't deserve the ability to live peacefully? I'm simply calling out the liberal narrative that one is definitely authoritarian and the other is definitely a democracy, and that this is a case of an authoritarian government specifically trying to destroy a democracy. Ukraine is hardly a democracy, contrary to popular belief.

ah, i see what you mean

my reply comment wasn't meant to run counter to your comment, rather, i meant to express that the the entire narrative of "attack on X is worse bc they're democratic" or "attack on Y is more justified bc they're less democratic" is absurd and cruel
