Apparently, the moral lines are absolutely clear between what Russia are doing and what Amnesty describe (of Turkey) as ... We must immediately enable...
Wherein lies the persistent, willful, misrepresentation of all such arguments since no one talking about the US has been doing so by way of 'judgement...
Seems to be a theme of yours. The comment was... ...and it was in response to a comment about America's apparent lack of concern for civilian casualti...
Nothing. I'm not remotely certain. Thousands of children's lives could reasonably be saved if America had stricter controls over the ownership of guns...
And yet that's exactly what you're refusing to talk about. The likelihood. There is a serious, deathly serious, consequent risk to keeping the guns ar...
You accused me of being unnecessarily insulting and unproductive. Not the other way round. In any decent company, it is such an accusation that counts...
Difference, yes. Significance to the discussion about whether Russia uniquely doesn't care about civilian casualties, no. What you've failed to show i...
In general or specifically? The former are self-defined (those that do it), just as my target for criticism of racism are racists, no further categori...
I'm not sure what partisan point you thought I was making, but you've misunderstood. The complaint is against idiots regurgitating media talking point...
I do indeed think that. What I object to in your argument is the idea that if a government ever became that tyrannical it would nevertheless utterly r...
Yeah, what are those warmongering Ruskies like eh? Such a thing would never happen in civilised countries... https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/i...
You've simply asserted the 'large scale' without any basis whatsoever. Why would it be 'large scale', on what possible grounds might you believe a 'la...
And how did you suppose it was going to do that? By catching me out in a cunningly worded question? Are you one of the people who think "What's in you...
I wasn't talking about the changes to your argument regarding Chechnya, I was talking about the changes to your argument regarding Afghanistan. You ci...
Why? Should we add up all the collective interventions in the 'war on terror'? Ah, so we should reduce your figures for the deaths in Afghanistan? Or ...
Civilian casualties during the American invasion of Vietnam (9+ years): 332,000 Civilian casualties during the American atomic bombing of Japan (2 day...
Translation: "I've got no counter argument and the intellectual imagination of a five year old, so I'll resort to parroting the puerile trope that any...
Why would we do that via breaking a naval blockade when we could do it without losing a single life simply by paying the food producers a fair wage so...
Afghanistan - Not even going to dignify that one with an answer, it was 40 years ago. are we going to allow Hiroshima and Vietnam in the comparison? S...
I don't see why it matters. America and Europe have enough food to feed the world several times over. If they gave a shit about starving people they'd...
Not looking for engagement, just correcting your bullshit. The responsibility for the ensuing starvation is categorically the result of the underdevel...

Woah, a pro war puff piece in The Atlantic. What a surprise! The same Atlantic whose Editor said, of the Iraq war... Sound at all familiar? Christ! It...
There's nothing red about them (nor herring-like). It's exactly what you're doing here. Declaring some really odd thing to be 'immoral' and then actin...
Good for him. I'm talking to you, not Zelensky. As far as I'm aware Russia has not made any greater demands than that. What's needed are some independ...
Who said methods didn't matter. The question was about objectives. A simple "yes" would have sufficed. Did I say it was? I suggested it might be a neg...
Myself, Boethius, benkei, streetlight among others have advocated diplomacy. You've demonised all. Accusations of working for the FSB, supporting terr...
This incoherent double standard again. Is Russia losing really badly or not? Make up you mind. When you want to advocate further arms sales, you claim...
Concede the independence of Dombas and Crimea, and the independence from NATO. Then deal with their independent governance via diplomatic means. It's ...
You're still talking about methods when the comment was about objectives. Russia clearly has no greater an objective of "control and influence" than A...

Not just 'war'. This war. Yes, it's always been about the ethics, not just 'now'. As I've said a dozen times none of us are qualified to offer an opin...
Yeah, and we're back into your obvious nonsense that we've been through before. Entertaining though your mental gymnastics are, there's little to be g...
Yep, as I said, I'm talking about what you support, not what you fail to object to. Supporting someone's right to do something is the same as just not...
