Yes it does, when the war you’re opposing is one intended to bring consequences to a dictator. Unopposed dictators continue to dictate and empower other dictators. You don’t stop a bully by turning the other cheek. That just gets you punched in both sides of the face. You stop a bully by bringing them consequences to their actions. When there are no consequences, the actions continue.

Literally nowhere in any of my responses have I alluded to me being an absolute pacifist. In fact, one of my replies implies that I’m not, I’m just against war (because, you know, it’s fucking atrocious for all involved), because you can absolutely oppose the act of war while still being down for some violence yourself.
killing two soldiers doesn’t solve anything. They should invade north korea and fill it with a thousand McDonalds. Its the only way to restore freedom™
It is not compassionate to support a brutal dictatorship.
Nice strawman you started building, it’s a shame you stopped half way.
Another half attempt at finishing your strawman?
You’re making a lot of assumptions here.
If only they didn’t have a brutal dictatorship next door.
Wrong.
It only took you three paragraphs to complete your strawman! Congrats you did it.
Cry about it tankie scum.
Opposing war doesn’t equate to supporting a dictator.
You literally have no argument.
Allowing aggression to go unchecked is the opposite of opposing war - it literally encourages more.
Opposing war doesn’t necessarily equate to pacifism, either.
The user they’re replying to is a tankie. Dictator support is baked into the ideology.

My argument is they should have been shot.
The weak little dictator isn’t going to get into a shooting match with the South over a couple of dead soldiers.
If you think they will then you know nothing of the history.
