    Eh I wouldn’t go that far. I have no desire for the UK nor Germany to perish in a war for instance. And I don’t want to see Russia perish in war. But they must absolutely lose in Ukraine, unequivocally.

    I would’ve preferred to see them be a thriving democracy, perhaps one that had figured out how to better mix capitalism and communism. We could have shared our cultures and combined our knowledge to make massive scientific advancements.

    But Russia didn’t choose that path. And now they have to be defeated. They promoted far right candidates in the West with the intent of destabilizing countries, and they actively spread COVID misinformation. If there’s to be a hope for democracy and a free Russian people, we have to do everything we can to defeat the Putin regime.

      I agree with you. But I am tired of these “Patriots” supporting a country that does nothing but destabilize ours and sells oil. If they are the true red-blooded patriots they say they are then they should be lining up to pay Ukraine themselves.

        I completely agree, but it’s good to know your audience. I usually save that language directly for the traitorous fucks, and try to be more conciliatory otherwise. It’s often better for getting people to see your viewpoint and agree.
