    Plenty of people suggest Israel should stop occupying Palestine. You wont see much of the others these days, because, well, its a bit late to be advocating the end of an invasion that has already ended.

      As I understand it, his logic here is:

      • Iraq War: That’s their country that is wrong, go home
      • Israeli occupation: That’s their country that is wrong, go home
      • English oppression of Ireland: That’s their country that is wrong, go home
      • Ukraine war: Well you see it’s complicated, Ukraine is not innocent and anyway they were provoked

      (Actually, if I’m being serious, I think the point was to tear down the very notion that matters of geopolitics can ever involve “right” or “wrong” and erode the reader’s sense of justice, depress them, make them disengage, and thus provide a narrative safe space for all the killing, torture, and destruction that Russia wants to do for as long as it wants to do it. But, if you take it at face value, that up there is what he’s saying.)
