Can you show me in the above post where either of those statements were made?
I wasn't accusing him of saying that.
It seems like you've given yourself one of two options. You are either a) commenting in bad faith, or b) commenting as a useful idiot. If what you said is actually a non-sequitur, then you are a useful idiot. If you actually meant what you said, than its intentional and you are acting in bad faith: otherwise, why comment?
If you are ignorant, go take a 10 year read of history off the wikipedia and it should become clear to you "why this war is happening?", which is what your question was. Otherwise, I'm now under the assumption, based on the structure and pacing of your 'questions' , that you are commenting in bad faith.
Dude, I'm just trying to have a conversation about the topic. I tried to engage with him because he answered my comment.
That isn't 'trying to have a conversation'. That is projecting a straw man ~~for no apparent reason~~ with the sole purpose of shutting down any dialogue.
I guess it's gonna be your word against mine.
No, you aren't.
You are either ignorant or a liar. If you claim ignorance, there is a cure for that. There is no cure for acting in bad faith.
The guy was one of the first to comment on my comment, I didn't think there would be other people here and I thought I could talk to him about what was on my mind since he took interest in answering me.
You're free to believe whatever you want, go live a happy life, away from me if you can.
You need to think through very clearly what you said and in what context then, because it's clear now that you do not understand what function you serve. After that you should spend your time reading about the modern history of Russia.
