Probably a conversation, composed of logic, not tongues, riddles, idiocy and lunacy.
If you're here saying Ukraine is bad because it's forcing people to go invade another country, and you're going to make no effort to acknowledge the situations that have put them in a position to even need to have considered doing that, you're an idiot.
At last give it a try.
This is never a good thing, a government should never have the authority to force someone to go invade another country. Russia is doing exactly that, it's forcing people to go invade another country.

What country has a system where SOLDIERS IN THE MILITARY can't be forced to invade another country?
Like it's a nice ideal, but considering your idea is novel and radical maybe start with countries that aren't at war.
Second of all, once you're at war, you're at war. There is no "just defend your territory" because that means there is no reason not to invade you and no loss scenario for your invader, the worst outcome they lose some soldiers and your borders are unaffected. Once you are attacked you have to seek every legal advantage (see the Geneva convention) to obtain victory and repel your attackers. On that basis I'm not even sure your idea is sound or reasonable in the first place for a defending country. And in this specific scenario it's just helping Russia.
I'm marking you as a Russian troll just to see how often you're on here defending Russia by "just asking questions" about the actions of Ukraine while not holding Russia to any standard at all .
I've done so already, and they act like this in almost every thread. They're a bad actor and not here in good faith.
As far as I know that’s the case in Japan.
