        Why though? There’s been plenty of hot and cold wars, plenty of proxy wars.

        This isn’t special in that regard, except now using the propaganda talking points of view a fascist enemy is done without a hint of shame from the stooges who do it.

          This is a weird take… The war in Ukraine is largely being fought because Russia isn’t going to stop with Ukraine. We’re protecting our allies in Europe, and looking to prevent further escalation, not simply exerting influence on a far-away foreign war.

          The escalating party is 100% the aggressing party that’s invading a sovereign nation. That’s Russia, not the United States.

          I mean, unless you’re speaking as a Russian citizen? Perhaps I’m misunderstanding your point of view here.

              Lol, we tried your strategy, it just just emboldened Russia. Remember their attach on Georgia? How about their first invasion of Ukraine? Obviously, Russia wants to do what they want to do, especially if there’s no consequences. Let’s try this different approach and see if they feel being violent still helps them secure their goals.

                Also, “appeasement” in this context should be awfully familiar to anyone vaguely familiar with history. It worked soooo well last time…

                  Give an actual reason we shouldn’t care about Russia’s history of attacks, that show you’re not ignorant of the topic, and I’ll actually provide you an answer. Your reply appears extremely ignorant.

                  That sure sounds like you care. Not liking something doesn’t mean you don’t care about it.

                  So again, I think you need to make up your mind.

                  EDIT: Wow. They went through my post history and downvoted every post. Hilarious.
