    Of course they do. That’s what happens when you invade someone, the someone you invade also hits back at you.

      In fact this is basically the only way for the war to end. By capturing Russian territory Russia now has a reason to come to negotiations to just call everything off to get their land back.

        Russia is just lucky the land is tied down or the farmers would have towed it back home…

      Same applies for Palestinians, Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam. You’d be totally fine with that.

      right? right?

          Nonono you’re not supposed to have principles, you’re supposed to just pick sides instead otherwise ‘what about USA’ won’t work as a gotcha. Just think of the poor tankies, whatabout USA is all they have, would you really tankie that away from them?

            Imagine thinking you got Lemmy by suggesting that Vietnam should have counter invaded America

            1. What? “You’ve got Lemmy” is that a parallel universe Jennifer Anniston and Adam Sandler movie?
            2. Total suicide mission, but Vietnam taking Portland, Oregon, would have been weird.
