    I would like to thank you for your perspective. Unfortunately, our western view is deeply rooted in arrogance and ignorance towards the "rest" of the world. Commented Mar 13, 2022 at 16:27

    A politically related banner on politics SE would be just about the worst thing that could happen to the site. Politics SE tries not to be biased, but a Ukrainian flag during this war is practically the textbook definition of bias. Commented Mar 15, 2022 at 19:46

    The banners does not have to be Ukrainian flags. May everyone live in peace, may everyone free from war or something is okay. Commented Mar 17, 2022 at 15:40

    Is one country invading another not a good red line? (and yes, Taiwan is a country) Commented Mar 22, 2022 at 13:57

    Taking stances is the only way progress happens my friend. Remaining neutral only leads to status quo and empowers those who will take a stance for you. Commented Mar 22, 2022 at 20:27
  • Clear lines and predictability are a dangerous and silly idea. Evil people should not be able to guess the consequences of their action. When someone believes in supporting murderers that shoulid be taken into account and people should try to avoid working with them. Commented Mar 24, 2022 at 1:06

    Heh, talking bout drawing the line reminds me of stuff that I had seen on SO long back. A user with a profile insulting Trump was immediately taken down, but users who had profile pictures insulting Xi weren't... Commented Mar 24, 2022 at 23:25

    > Is one country invading another not a good red line? What about US-led "interventions" in Syria, Afghanistan and other countries? Some would define that as an invasion. You see, we have civilians killed, we have military running about on other countries land, that's invasion to me Commented Mar 26, 2022 at 15:46

    As the current situation holds, Taiwan's international status is somewhat like the two regions in Eastern Ukraine. But I do not wish to discuss this further here because my nationality, naturally, gives me a position that won't lead to meaningful outcome in discussion Commented Mar 26, 2022 at 15:49

    "Taking stances is the only way progress happens my friend. ": The whole point of my post is that *why some people get to take the stance on behalf of a diverse platform like SE *. Taking stances personally is probably beneficial, but on such a community, it will only lead to polarization and unnecessary quarrels. Commented Mar 26, 2022 at 15:54

    War is not "just politics". Making assumptions that "NATO may invade Russia, therefore let's invade Ukraine now" is exactly how Putin's regime justifies starting this war. There were no "disputed borders" in Ukraine. US didn't invade other countries. Commented Mar 29, 2022 at 22:49
