Well I guess they've got to do something. Russian casualties are something like 4 times more than those of the American military in its entire decades-long participation in the war in Vietnam 50 years ago. With so many of the angry patriotic men dead or on their way to death, at some point the remaining population will be getting more and more anti-war just by attrition.
The “Russia has more freedom than the US” narrative is almost as confusing to me as the idea that Trump is someone you want to represent you. I know people think this but I just can’t understand how they also are able yo navigate the day to day requirements of life.
Like, how do they determine what food to eat? Nothing but Pizza Pops eaten thawed but cold? How do they survive?
Is anyone else too busy just trying to get through the day to care about shit like this? Politics, war, weather, gender arguments- who gives a fuck? I can’t afford a place to live.
In theory, this is why we have representatives… outside of occasional drastic and personal decisions, you should be able to trust your representatives with ensuring America does the day to day shit that makes sense… and if a representative goes batshit insane talking about Jewish Space Lasers or pouring immense resources into an unjust war, then we vote them out and move on.
Unfortunately, the internet and two party politics are really fucking up our ability to delegate to our representatives.
We have to realize it’s not a given that we are in peace. And that’s why we [NATO forces] are preparing for a conflict with Russia," Dutch Admiral Rob Bauer, the NATO military committee chief, said in Brussels ahead of the start of the alliance’s largest exercise since the end of the Cold War.
Keen students of logic maybe observe the flaw in the Admirals argument : A vulnerable peace is not strengthened by preparing for war.
Carry on, Sailor.
Edit :
Oh my , what have we here :
Q. How is RFE/RL funded and managed? A. RFE/RL is funded by the U.S. Congress through the United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM). USAGM is independent federal government agency that oversees all U.S. civilian international media. In addition to RFE/RL, this includes Voice of America, Radio and TV Marti, Radio Free Asia, Alhurra, and Radio Sawa. In addition to providing oversight, USAGM works with RFE/RL to ensure the professional independence and integrity of its journalists.
Keen students of logic may observe the flaw in the poster’s argument: militaries don’t exist to keep the peace, they exist for the contingency in which it fails. Being prepared for war is literally their job.
The burden is on you to support your own assertions, there is no irony whatsoever in me pointing this out. Any keen student of logic would be familiar with this principle.
You will understand that you are not the arbiter of what is or is not “dubious” surely ? And that what you deem “dubious” is, to less contrary people, self evident ?
Dubious means “suspect”, and what makes it “suspect” is the lack of any supporting argument. As a keen student of logic, I’m sure you must be familiar with this word and concept.
NATO Must be Prepared for us to be Fuck Heads and Reelect Donald Trump, Western Resident Warns Ahead of Major Election.
Resident quoted as saying, “We can’t even get our own house in order so you’re probably on your fucking own… also, who do I talk to about immigration?”
