    You are naive if you think giving countries who threaten war or even start them everything they want and more is going to decrease the chance of more of the same.

        What does it tell you that those are the same side?

          In what fucking world do people who unquestioningly believe Russian propaganda qualify as “uncompromising pacifists”?

            I don’t actually know what vatnik means. I was guessing from context that it meant Communist or leftist or something.

              We’re on the internet, bro. You have a search engine right fucking there. I didn’t know what vatnik meant either until I googled it 20 seconds ago. What is your excuse?

                I googled and found it was a kind of jacket used in the Red Army.

                British people call nerds “anoraks” because of a type of sweater they stereotypically wear. (It comes up a lot in Doctor Who fandom.) I thought “vatnik” was maybe a creative way of calling me a Communist nerd, modelled on anorak.

      I said nothing about giving any country everything that they want.

      And Biden had plenty of opportunity to de-escalate the situation in the Donbas before it resulted in war, and he escalated it instead, just as he escalated the situation in the Taiwan Strait.

        Yet what you’re suggesting is to appease dictators whenever they issue threats and attack countries. Gee that worked so well with Georgia, Crimea, and now the rest. Putin is a war criminal, a crook and an incompetent statesman (see the deteriorating Russian economy years up until the Ukraine war). They were always going to steal land like the cancerous leech they really are.

          No, I was suggesting to de-escalate tensions and resolve territorial disputes peacefully and democratically before they spill over into armed conflict.

        I wish he’d done more. Neither Russia or China or both of them combined would do well against the US, even without NATO. They wont start a conflict.

          I suspect the opposite, but I’m hoping we never find out.
