Got told by a friend that I was arguing "in bad faith" by stating that Russia is most likely going to win, and that their actions were in response to attacks on Russo-Ukrainians in Eastern Ukraine, and that Ukraine never was sincere during negotiations.

They then proceeded to counter my claim that Ukraine is seeking an ethnic-cleansing operation in Crimea by arguing that only "a few" Russians would be killed or expelled in such a scenario (mostly immigrants who arrived in 2014; all "Putinites").

They talk about "humiliating Russia" and how "Russians are pussies". It's like they're totally ignorant of the extremity to which they've been propagandized.

Any Russian/neutral claim is "baseless", and only Western sources ("unnamed official statements") are accepted.
