A month later but yeah. I am surprised you have 16 likes considering you basically say nothing of substance and don't reply to my point but I guess the reddit virus is strong here as well. The fact that you think reality is such a clear thing leads me to believe this isn't a fruitful discussion and I am wasting my time but in any case.
We are not talking about a train coming down the tracks are we now? We are talking about complex issues that are not as clear. Unless you are ready to consider a big chunk of world population that doesn't have the same opinion as straight up crazy then you must admit there is a big amount of complexity right there. Does that realization elude you or what?

Totally incorrect. The war definetly has to do with us and you really need to spend some time to rethink this deeply. A russia that has shown it's willing to attack and bordering a NATO country is a massive problem for us because it would inevitably result in them vying for more down the line, this is really simple stuff and I don't understand why I have to mention it. The 2nd point you get wrong is the fact that this bleeds out our coffers, nonsense , I suppose you are American? The shit you guys have given is peanuts for you since not only it isn't alot as an absolute number compared to your GDP but it's also not even hard cash most of the time but equipment you will replace anyway. In any case spending some money is better than a massive war with an emboldened russia down the line. Unless you want to just leave NATO and let Europe fend for itself? Which frankly considering how affected your opinion is by russian propaganda I wouldn't be surprised.
Lastly, Zelensky is the one bleeding his country of men for pride? Is this a joke? Why are you even in this forum if you can't even comprehend basic stuff ? How can you possibly say something like that when it's Putin that started this war , and it's Putin sending his men in the slaughter over , at best for your POV , a future threat for russia , at worst simple conquest and control of ukraine ( news flash , read some history , it's the second). In any case you are clearly badly informed If I were you I would read up some more before exposing myself like this next time.

What a nasty opinion born only out of overconsumption of russian propaganda. What do you mean " Zelensky's attitude" ? Are you calling his expectation that the west will finally act decisively about russian aggression "attitude"? Both the Europeans and the Americans have been way too slow and way too timid in their support and that is a fact. Their fear and cowardice will cost us in the future and the success of russian propaganda in individuals such as yourself is a part of why they are so slow to act. Would you have called Churchill a beggar when he used to call Roosevelt to increase aid? What a horrible mindset.

The things she has said in regards to the Ukraine war are textbook Russian talking points. What else is there to say? Let's hope that that the senate doesn't actually confirm her appointment .

I have a big issue with your statement. It sounds correct but in my mind doesn't stand up to scrutiny. What is reality? Who decides that exactly? How can you decide whether an institution , whether that is the police or whoever , did their job correctly? Are you capable or even interested in judging each and every move they make ? And what do you do with that judgement? Do you just use your judgement ( whether right or wrong) to fuel hatred and distrust? Because you are probably not using it to make a a practical change. So what is it? What is the goal? The cornerstone of society is trust. Trust has to be blind up to a logical point.

Yes. The decay in the trust of institutions in the western world is already a massive problem , that will only get worse. You are exactly on point in my opinion. Trust might matter more then absolute truth . I am certain that lack of trust precludes substance and correctness in the long term. Lack of trust in each other and by extension in the institutions that govern us , renders us ineffective at best.

Elon is a hack that's supporting trump in an attempt to avoid massive legal troubles. I am sure he also believes some of the nonsense he spews but that does not make him right. You should look into the voting issue a little more deeply. I am not American either but I attempt at all times to try and seperate the nonsense from reality. When it comes to voting the process is already safe enough from what I understand and fraud cases are minimal. Again you should look this up yourself from a wide variety of sources , but a propaganda man like Elon is certainly not a good source of information.

The misinformation in your post and on twitter in general is reaching insane levels. People were voting without American citizenship?Really? Is there any proof of that actually happening? The answer is no , unless of course you pay attention to twitter nonsense too much. Voter fraud is extremely rare. I am waiting for any proof that supports the contrary.

What is your point exactly? I am sure you would find people thinking and acting like that in literally every country. Or are you going to pretend that torture is an israeli specialty ? Pay a visit to an Egyptian prison and then we can talk.
Well you are not very well informed then. Killing civilians is not a war crime. The war crime is killing them INTENTIONALLY. And before you ask , if intention was there it would be very easy to prove. There is zero proof israel is intentionally killing civilians. I challenge you to provide any.One very complicated event does not constitute evidence. Unless you want to pretend that mistakes never happen in war . The supposed famine in Gaza is absolute nonsense please don't even get me started. Tons of supplies are going in there and if any of it is not reaching the people then it's HAMAS's fault who we know is trying to steal it.

A bunch of inaccurate statements. No war crimes , no DELIBERATE attack of relief convoys , and nobody is starving. Absolute hamas propaganda by you.

That is the craziest and most nonsensical thing I have heard in a long time. Are you an Iranian bot or something? Maybe you can read up on some history.

I am actually not certain what missiles these are. It could be the fatah 2 which is a cruise missile that goes hypersonic and Iran says is also maneuverable ( I doubt that to be honest) . But I am mostly reading that these are ballistic missiles. In any case I guess we will find out soon.

The impressive videos will cool things down? Is this a serious statement? The 'impressive videos' tell us nothing about how effective the barrage actually was. In any case nothing about this will cool things down. Iran must be hit and they must be hit now.

Using the word 'hypersonic' is not exactly accurate and may be a little misleading, better just call them balistic missiles. And no the Iranians haven't actually declared war , it's just a phrase used in the article. Doubtful that this attack will be particularly effective, though not for lack of trying. The Israelis and the US I believe MUST respond. The Iranians don't have nukes yet. Now is the time to hit them as hard as possible though I doubt the gutless Biden goverment will actually do what must be done unfortunately.
How was any of this a sneer? He literally says nothing of substance in response to my point , why is it an issue when i highlight it? I wasn't overtly offensive or anything like that. In fact I will argue that he began with the sneer remarks with this comment 'Yes, but I'm not concerned about whether it stands up to scrutiny in your mind; I am only concerned about whether it stands up to scrutiny in reality.' .Which was unnecessary and missing the point.
