I was when I was enlistment age

So you had other means to escape poverty.

Easy for you to judge, huh?

Ignoring my point to use an ad hominem - how typical of Lemmy.

As usual, the conservatives are given a pass and then liberals assigned all the blame.

This place is absolute fucking joke.

Most of rank and file military still supports this dumbass president.

Putin’s Ukraine adventure has been an abject failure.

Russia isn’t “good” because you dislike the US. It’s not and either/or thing.

We have elections in two months that could greatly limit his abilities - he’s gotten away with almost everything because the Republican controlled Congress lets him.

It’s a lot more realistic than an imaginary coup.

The US military isn’t the SS.

Are you poor?

You’re probably not poor then

they can use for the human parts.

If you want people to take you seriously, you could make less childish arguments.

i’m always amazed at how confidently wrong someone can be

Wow, you must amaze yourself constantly.

Good job protecting MAGA idiots by excusing everything they say because you want to pretend to know shit you don’t to feed your ego.

simple google ffs

Simple admission that you’re full of shit.

lmao if you thing almost anything posted here is original

You being a narcissist doesn’t mean anyone has to believe you. The only one “who has all figured out”. Wow! I guess everyone should automatically believe everything you say and that there aren’t a ton of annoying “know-it-all” people on the internet constantly claiming that only they know what’s actually going on even thought they can’t prove it.

Is that what he did in this interview or are you just making that up?

There is a weird narrative where people pretend like there’s some conspiracy to make countries near the equator appear smaller on maps.

It doesn’t matter if there was a “conspiracy”. It’s inaccurate and therefore stupid to maintain.

The UN doing this doesn’t mean they’re not focusing much more intensely on other issues and anyone claiming that is a fucking moron.

The US being the only one opposing this makes the US the only one pushing some dumbass conspiracy theory.

“Resolutions like this and the ideological agenda they promote, are barnacles on our work here, and the reason this institution is losing its credibility,” Ferencevych continued. “When the United Nations questions why it is losing legitimacy in the world, and is not taken seriously, time and again, we point to resolutions such as this.”

This administration is such a fucking embarrassment. What “ideological agenda”?

He’s pointing out the blatant bigotry in original statement.

So what does that mean?

It means they can choose to go to school wherever they want and don’t have to be restricted to certain countries due to their ethnicity.

So my question is why wouldn’t they want to attend a university that more aligns with their values?

Maybe Canada DOES more align with their values? You know virtually nothing about these people.

If you think Arab Universities are less than Western ones that sounds just a little racist to me.

Yeah, keep trying to hide your own blatant bigotry by randomly accusing me of it and shoving arguments in my mouth. I’m not the one saying “Arabs should the stay out because they’re Arabs”. That would be you.

Just because you’ve heard the term “engagement” or “rage” bait doesn’t mean everything is that.
