If you don't understand the difference between WW2 and today... Even worse not understanding the difference between Iraq and Ukraine. Do you not realize we live in a global economy and Russia is being cut off? There was no global econo

Depends on where you're at and the cost of living in the area. Its about making sure the people serving you are recognized as people and not slaves

by amcoastal 5y ago
But that isn't how it works here. You're effectively saying your principled stand against the "system" (which changes nothing) is more important than making the person who served you get paid non slave wages. You went in

Your red herring arguments and whataboutism is noted. Stretching arguments about obvious ties to russia to being "election = stolen", while ignoring the actual 40℅ of the country who still believes trumps bullshit. I will also not

Yeah the one that would tweet fire and fury and randomly blow up generals on airstrips.

We have a much more recent example of a crazy president that would threaten nuclear war than Nixon.

by amcoastal 5y ago
Yeah of course you don't want that. Because my country will pay to defend your country while the poor people in the U.S. need schools, teachers, and access to healthcare more than Germany does. Thanks for nothing.

I'm in the US, we remember vietnam.

Yeah but it was a very small minority that were protesting. Why? Because they were protesting a vaccine mandate which isn't literal evil. Every Russian that isn't a piece of shit should be protesting this and shutting down the ent

I don't. I was just clarifying what the GP meant.

by amcoastal 5y ago
Yes. It is. What's your point? If the truckers of Canada try to shut down the country over a vaccine mandate, seems the Russians should consider this a reason to do their best to shut down Russia.

He means its the last card the west can play short of war. If they unleash all of their cards now they have no chance at dealing with Putin in the next few days. As small as the hope sounds, its possible Ukraine could resist enough and poss

I'd sit in a jail cell before I got drafted into an unjust war. Doesn't seem like a hard decision to me. Now if you're repelling aggressive invaders, that's a different story.

The difference is the voters of the U.S. punished the presidents who did those things with huge political defeats that have now made most oversea invasions and hawkishness very unpopular political positions at the moment. Russians have a mu

It is the job of the Russian people to stand up and refuse to participate in this conflict. Anything that makes their lives harder so they are more likely to do that, as opposed to just sitting around on their ass, is a good thing. The Russ

Leave it to an old person to yell about technology ruining people while denying the simple science that some people might feel differently about socialization than others.

Russia is already bordered by multiple NATO countries. You should not be parroting Kremlin talking points at this time.

by amcoastal 5y ago
I wonder why they are considering moving those? Hmm? You should be ashamed of parroting Russian propaganda at this time.

I wish my parents had let the "my friends are doing it" excuse work. You're easy.

I feel like its a lot to ask when the people of the U.S. can't even see through propaganda about what is happening in our own backyard. Why would you expect the average american to understand Putin is lying about genocide when half the

And what is your source saying the Ukrainian people were pining for the soviets in 2005? Rigged election results? Your opinions are crude and ghastly.

Yeah, but that's the way these things go. The people working on this project are working on 5 other ones as well. It would be nice to work on fewer research projects at once but the way these grants work (check out the low total amount

Your bad faith question implies there could only be one answer to this question, which I would hope you know is untrue, as the answer clearly relies on the authors/readers ethical system, which are relative. For instance, one could ima

You're assuming all discrimination based on race is wrong. Its obviously more nuanced than that, and requires more nuanced language. Unless you think there's a giant stone pad floating in the universe and the 11th commandment on i

Sure. But there are different connotations and implications when someone is racist against a white person vs a black person (in America). Go to another country where another race is dominant and the standards and idea of racism change. Havi

Not relative to the 90s. I doubt nail manufacturing has gone through many changes, but the workers (as few as they may be) now make much more money.
