Yes, I only visit reddit when I have only have something curious about, I don't actively scroll through it, maybe a few minutes when I'm on it. That's healthy boundary. As for Hacker News, there is https://hackerne

I think what greggsy's point is that why begin something when you could foresee that it wouldn't really amount to anything? it was a vanity project - Felix just found out that it's not worth it later than sooner Enlightenment

I'll tell you straight-up: this was written to increase morale for Ukraine. Whether Kyiv fall or walled up to Russian forces has yet to happen. It's still too early in the siege to make up these predictions I could imagine Russian

Putin had to invade, as from his perception, Ukraine joining NATO means game over for Russia, economic (oil and gas reserves) and military-wise (strategic positioning of Ukraine), it's in the long-term interests of Russia. Geopolitics

It's just a declaration of core claim, it's not like Japan will actually do something about it at this point. When Japan is finally free from the shackles of western hegemony and able to build up militarily like it used to, then i

This. Russia, is no different from the USA when it comes to war crimes. The only difference is the USA can get away due to the political clout in their sphere of influence. Those countries that did not condemn the aggression - India, Brazil

I'm gonna point out though, that Ukraine has far more shared values with Russia than the west. Ukraine aspires to be under the sphere of influence of the west than Russia for economic reasons. This conflict is a bit like the Northern I

For someone who is not attached to money knowing that we all will someday perish from this world, and is cognizant of only purchasing items within the means of affordability, the IKEA experience is compatible with me. So don't see wher

Eeh, you could say the same about the US. Please just have an objective view of these, and not taking sides when it doesn't really concern your individual self

by env123 5y ago
Not this. Russia sees Ukraine joining NATO as a security concern - whether true or not, so in their view they must pre-emptively strike Morally speaking, it's not justified for humans to keep making war Objectively speaking, it's

It's called having an objective view. The large part of the reason for the mess is the existence of NATO is post-Soviet world. What Mearsheimer basically is saying is Putin's motivations - you don't necessarily have to be an

It should have, but the west still kept NATO. They could have simply been more diplomatic with Russia when it was at its weakest in the 90's after the fall of the Soviet Union, but the cynicism was still there

This is ignorance at it's best. There were antiprotesters in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The nuance here is if the US could invade other faraway sovereign countries, why Russia couldn't against a neighbour, over what it sees as sec

by env123 5y ago
The US clearly enters the picture here if they are willing to supply weapons to the Ukrainians. That is a justified security concern from Russia's perspective

by env123 5y ago
Looking at history, Russia seems like the lesser evil here. It makes far more sense to have security concerns over your backyard. Attacking the local mosque on the other side of the river, because a Muslim robber came by is not self-defense
