I support in theory (though I don't fund anyone) pretty much all peaceful liberation movements, have more problem with violent ones. I support the Sco...

With the guns given to the Ukrainians, of course.
March 21, 2022 at 22:34
First we take Moscow, then we take Berlin. Because the right thing to do in front of naked aggression is rarely to lay down arms. This solves the imme...
March 21, 2022 at 22:19
Who said anything about any standard? YOU said that they are so many wars, so why take side. I didn't say you must take side. Don't support the Ukrain...
March 21, 2022 at 22:18
Especially the Americans. Maybe you bother with intellectual honesty a bit more.
March 21, 2022 at 22:16
What would be the point, pray tell? Indeed. They might very well win here and lose in front of Kyiv.
March 21, 2022 at 22:13
And the answer is: through Putin. Now you're talking. So ideally the Russians should lay down their arms and turn Russia into a vibrant democracy. Gla...

He said that sending arms to Ukraine is more disgusting than bombing Ukraine. Literally.
March 21, 2022 at 22:03
I do. Why don't you discuss them, if they are so important to you? Is that why you have to cheerlead the Russian side, a soddin' dictatorship bombing ...
March 21, 2022 at 21:57
Oh you know of things that are morally right? That wasn't apparent so far. So what would be the ideal outcome of this war, according to you?
March 21, 2022 at 21:53
Empty words. Go bomb an Ukrainian if you want to be useful.
March 21, 2022 at 21:43
@"boethius" disagrees with that.
March 21, 2022 at 21:40
You're more submissive than most people, I guess.
March 21, 2022 at 21:39
Were you ever a boy scout though?
March 21, 2022 at 21:05
The one you took care to delete from my quote, of course: If Russia -- or anyone else for that matter -- was to attack your country, would you see the...
March 21, 2022 at 21:00
You have not answered the question: If that was to happen, would you see the foreigners supporting your country as more disgusting than the army destr...
March 21, 2022 at 20:02
You would do so? Like, if Russia was to attack your country you mean? If that was to happen, would you see the foreigners supporting your country as m...

Are you Russian?
March 21, 2022 at 19:11
It's not about learning but about preventing it.
March 21, 2022 at 19:08
So what is the MOST disgusting of the two behaviors: to aggress your neighbour in such a war, or to cheerlead and help the victims trying to defend th...
March 21, 2022 at 19:05
You have to promise. Positively so.
March 21, 2022 at 18:53
Only if you promise that you will try to understand.
March 21, 2022 at 18:50
Just to be clear, do you find Western sympathies for the Ukrainian side, their occasional cheerleading and their arm support more disgusting than the ...
March 21, 2022 at 18:48
And it's also a place to jerk, and be horny... For some.
March 21, 2022 at 18:41
I'm talking facts. You guys talk rubbish. There's a provable difference.
March 21, 2022 at 18:38
For instance, I just asked you to refrain from using sexual terminology to describe this war, and you deflected to something else that's reproachable....
March 21, 2022 at 18:35
Many posters here have been patiently explaining the most obvious things to you and the other serial misunderstanders for days now. You are either ver...
March 21, 2022 at 18:18
Moi? I have been accused of war cheerleading here more often than I care to count. The words roll off the tongue of your buddies day and night. And wh...
March 21, 2022 at 18:13
Now that's classy. What is it with Putin sycophants and their constant horniness and jerkicity?
March 21, 2022 at 17:15
Yep. It's about manufacturing confusion and doubt. Note how frequently some posters misunderstand what we say here. It's done on purpose, evidently. T...
March 21, 2022 at 16:18
You are the only war cheerleader here.
March 21, 2022 at 15:38
Can you at least stop using obscene words like that all the time? I find it disgusting.
March 21, 2022 at 14:42
Don't flatter yourself. Nobody cares that you post here 24/7.
March 21, 2022 at 14:40
Indeed, the Hitler-wannabe failed Anschlusser is being dragged in the mud by media the world over. You won't see any of that from St Petersbourg thoug...
March 21, 2022 at 13:39
Oh it has, among the European left and even in the extreme right. Sympathy for the Kremlin is much lower, if there at all nowadays, in the rhetoric of...
March 21, 2022 at 10:38
It's just damage control, I suspect. The idea is to combat the rapid depreciation of Mr Putin's allure in the West and elsewhere, as swift as the rubl...
March 21, 2022 at 09:45
Through revolutions, like we did in the past.

You can negotiate with whoever but know who you negotiate with.
March 20, 2022 at 19:38
You are really unable to put two and two together, aren't you? A private conversation does not make it more difficult to sign a peace deal, not the sa...
March 20, 2022 at 18:51
They are dissimilar in that one is public and the other private. I thought this would be obvious.
March 20, 2022 at 18:09
Nope. One private discussion between two Jews is not to be equated to a public speech at a rally.
March 20, 2022 at 14:38
They don't, unless you have examples to provide.
March 20, 2022 at 12:47

I could say that, yes. But tyranny in Russia and democracy in Ukraine are facts right now.
March 20, 2022 at 12:10
He's certainly trying to fight all the way to Kyiv, though. Plus imperialism or nazism are universals, not specific evils. More confused BS. A negotia...
March 20, 2022 at 11:27
Yes. He's bombing them to free them from fascism. It does work in a perverse way: corpses are free from a lot of the trouble living people have.
March 20, 2022 at 11:09
That is simply not true. In such a deal the parties just have to agree on their future relationship. They don't need to agree on who was right or wron...
March 20, 2022 at 11:07
What's evil is the invasion, the bombing of civilians, etc. Again that is a fact. It IS evil to do these things. Facts don't make peace difficult. Nak...
