Your comment is dumb.

That's just businesses squabbling, not killing people. Who cares? As long as they aren't attacking me.

Oh Iran? Now you care about far away countries when they are Iran, but not China's neighbors? It's obvious that you're an America hater.

It's ok to hate America, a lot of people do, but please try to be rational about it.

You're a partisan who hates centrists.

When you're a centrist, life is tough. You get hate from both sides.

Well, that's not your true opinion.

But also it's not a factual thing (ie, it's not "predictable politics). For example, https://thediplomat.com/2025/1...

We'll see if Russia manages to fix their supply route problems. Putin looks like he'll live for a long time yet.

If Ukraine goes north into Russia towards Moscow, I agree with you, Russia is likely to use a nuke. That will be an existential threat, which is the bar Russia has set for using nukes.

On the other hand, if Ukraine manages to take Crimea, will Russia use a nuke? It's not an existential threat, it's just a vacation spot. They might use it, but it's hard to know.

It's not really about inequality. It's about a system where man abuses man. If we had a system where man does not abuse man, then the communist ideal has been achieved even if the state doesn't entirely own the means of production.

Nah,you're just letting your anti-american hate blind you. Anti-american hate is fine, but being blinded is not. Look at the facts. When was the last time China attack its neighbor?

It's not about "official" story. It's about looking at the evidence and seeing what is there.

We're not a totalitarian country, we can be scientific.

HEIL!

"slow and horrible, please!"

AND Iraq. None of those were military losses. The military did its job, what it was asked to do. The military is a tool, and America's is a sharp one.

Yeah, it might take some boots on the ground. Some operations require that. But soldiers are part of the military. Look at the casualty numbers in this engagement to get an idea of what air superiority does for a military: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

All that has to happen is for Europe and America to get together and say, "It has been decided that Russia will not be allowed to annex any part of Ukraine." Putin is not insane, he'll fight Ukraine but not NATO if NATO gets serious. But he hasn't crossed any red lines.

That's not what happened, though. Biden told Putin, "If you invade Ukraine, we will sanction you." Putin said, "Good deal."
