Well at least you are welcome in the Ivy League

Ukraine is nearly 5,000 miles from Washington DC, across the Atlantic, and nearly across another continent. It's historically Russian, was part of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union, has almost no ties to the West, is almost entirely interior, and other than being next to Russia, has no strategic value to us. The idea that we need to somehow forcefully address Russian aggression is equally ludicrous. Russia isn't even close to a threat. The Russian economy is less than $2T in GDP, the EU is 20. Between the US and the EU our economies are more than 20x the size of Russia. Russia has 120 million citizens and NATO has nearly a billion. This is a fucking border war that we stuck our noses into because what the fuck does anyone in DC have to do if they ain't killing someone?

Now you are just being pedantic

Oh no shit maybe that's why its probably not a good idea to install NATO countries all along Russia's border, huh?

>when someone resorts to af hominems, they’re not doing too hot. You ​ >My Ukrainian friends would kick your ass for this comme Also You. ​ Usually when someone starts threatening you with their imaginary internet friends, it's from their moms basement. ​ >The parallel with what you’re describing and appeasement should concern you. That's not a parallel and it shouldn't concern us because Ukraine has nothing to do with our interest. ​ > The Ukrainians want to fight, whether you like it or not. They can do whatever they want without my money. ​ >Cope and seethe. Oh my country hasn't been torn to shreds and hundreds of thousands of my countrymen killed in a useless war to support NATO expansion! I'm SOOO ANGRY!

Ahhh... "Iraq: A war about nothing!"

You are a fucking idiot dude. We could end the war in Ukraine tomorrow if we wanted to. We won't, because it keeps Russia bogged down. Your Ukrainian "friends" are dying (or maybe some shmucks they drafted are dying, idk?) so we can slowly bleed the Russians in a war that they can't pull out of, and we are feeding Ukraine just enough to hang on.

5 words or less, what was it for?

Oh so now they got to fight your battles for you too?

Yeah and when the Soviet Union collapsed, NATOs border ran through Germany - not the fucking steppe

Oh do you think it was for dEmoCracY

Hmmmm..... It's stupid to think that we shouldn't spend money on foreign wars with people who aren't our allies about borders we have no involvement in when we are $33 trillion dollars in debt? Did Lockheed Martin like sponsor your High School football team or something dude?

I'd love to stop using Ukrainians as bullet sponges just so we can kill more Russians in a war we have absolutely no intention of ending.

Well, literally why the Russians are so skittish about NATO going right up to their border is they are like repeatedly invaded from their western frontier and it they always end up winning but it is never pleasant for them. I think if 80 years ago a couple million people rolled through your western frontier and murdered like 27 million of your countrymen you might be a little skittish about who your neighbors are.

>We all benefit from a world in which states don’t invade other states for their territory. Oh, did we come up with that rule after we invaded Iraq or do we think invading other states for their resources and market access is still okay?

Yeah who the fuck do these citizens think they are thinking that they can have opinions on, you know, a proxy war with a nuclear armed nation.

Oh yea toootttalllyyy That def explains why Soros backed tons of lefty prosecutors, why Bezos bought the WaPo, why Bloomberg is constantly assaulting the conservative right, why Facebook is pumping millions into "election integrity", why the vast majority of wealthy people vote Democrat, why the Ivy League is hard left, and why the wealthiest counties in the country are all HARD DEMOCRAT districts. It must be because all those rich and powerful people want to pay more in taxes. ​ God dude, you must have gone to public school.

Lol. You think the billionaires are going to let you tax them? Wake up dude, you are carrying their water.

Jan 6 wasn't a fumble because it wasn't an insurrection. But you are right about some things. Your psycho ideology's time is running out. In ten years a whole lot of millennial women are going to be infertile and childless. Gen Z ain't far behind. No one in your hateful society wants to reproduce. Conservatives are reproducing. There is a reason why Christianity has been around for 2000 years buddy.

I'm looking forward to when Trump takes office again and purges all you psychos from the government.

Yup, LOTS of drugs.

Dude the Capitol wasn't even violent, the only person who was violently killed that day was an unarmed petite blonde protester. So scARrY.

Hey bud, I liked his policies too. They helped me. They helped a lot of us who have been struggling through the economy since the great recession. Help us get those policies back. I'm not saying you got to like the guy but he really is the only person that is actually going to fight for working people.

When did I say we should abuse people? There are enough challenges in life that all we need to do is not baby people along. We see this constantly in the education system where we continually infantalize even adults. We have no definition for what being an adult means today or any expectations for it. And being abused doesn't make you hard either. It often makes people weaker and more fucked up. It's the opposite of raising people to accept challenge and responsibility.

Never Trumpers would rather have WW3 and a Great Depression than admit they are wrong.

Reddit mods are probably the dumbest fucking people on the planet.

The Germans have never run a successful liberal democracy without adult supervision from the US - like in their entire history. Maybe we shouldn't view them as the model?

Dude they are all for totalitarianism so long as they are the totalitarians.

Losers might think that

Look man, the mental health industry is like the education industry, its extremely left-wing and very feminine. I don't think these work for men. I think that traditional education as constructed by women has been completely disastrous for men's mental health. Feminizing men has not been good for their wellbeing, and continuing to run in that direction is even worse. I don't think most men are doing poorly because they are bottling up their feelings, but because they have to exist in a society that only puts weight on emotionality. I was in HS way over a decade ago and even then my mental health was horrible. It was really a suffocating environment where masculine interest were not valued or entertained, and where young men had to predominatly take their social queues from finger-wagging middle-nannies as opposed to any traditionally male role-models. My mental health improved rapidly when I left and joined Marine Corps and, later, wildland firefighting. Challenge, adversity, risk-taking, adventure, responsibility, these are things that men need to adopt a healthy mental attitude. They aren't going to find mental wellbeing in a shrinks office, they are going to find it in the struggle to accomplish something. I'm back in school now and I'm surrounded by miserable people and they are miserable because they are weak, and they are weak because no one has ever conditioned them. It's like the difference between the runner's high an experienced runner gets during a marathon, and the absolute misery of running your first mile as an untrained couch potato. Except in life we all have to run occasionally in a metaphorical sense. You can be well-trained and thrive on the challenge or you can approach every milestone as a misery that must be slogged through before you can go back to doing nothing.

Black Guns Matter!

She said this from a position of absolute safety and confidence. My point is that women are always for equality when equality is easy, but none of these feminist were begging to join the infantry in Nam'.

100% western women would demand men be drafted if they thought they were threatened. Do you think Ukrainian feminist are complaining about the draft?

A lot of childhood "mental health" is built on pathologizing normal male behavior and instilling destructive values into men. Women need to feel intrinsic self worth. Men need to earn their self worth. Men cannot simply tell themselves that they are worthy, that just doesn't work. Men need to be given the opportunity to demonstrate to themselves and to others that they can live the values that Men instinctively respect in others. So long as Men today stay fat, single, addicted to porn, and wasting their lives on video games, they won't feel esteem.

Find me a feminist that has advocates to draft women

How do you report things to the admin?

I think Elon Musk should buy Reddit and the publish all the account information for all the mods. Like if you are a reddit mod I think you should be in some kind of registry so the rest if us know how much of a loser you are.
