But you gotta acknowledge that calling Russia's intervention an "invasion" is antithetical to supporting Donbas.

You keep saying that you support it and then adding caveats that prove that you actually don't.

"I support Tom's claim that he owns this house and would only want brief jail time for Susan's breaking and entering through the unlocked front door when he invited her over to help protect him from his neighbors Steve, who keeps shooting at him. That said, Susan went way too far when she also did a breaking and entering into Steve's yard to attack him while he continued to shoot at Tom while shouting 'That house is rightful Steve property and Tom the cockroach can scurry back to Susan's house.'"

If someone said this, the only logical conclusion is that they actually fully support Steve and are lying about supporting Tom.
