Because it is somehow morally acceptable to puppeteer some teenage boys as quasi-child soldiers to reach ones goals? We should be very careful on our strategy

We should be very careful on our strategy here. Alienating a whole new generation of Russians cannot lead to good results in the future. We should have learned that from 20 years in Afghanistan.

- rbanffy 5y agoI believe it takes a suggestion made in jest way too seriously.

That’s not what the comment you’re replying to said, but the way you phrased it makes it seem like it was. I’d wager the comment was made in jest, but even it wasn’t it expressed a though without commenting on its morality or expressing agreement. You can claim “doing X would lead to Y” and vehemently oppose either or both. Consider an alternative: “I don’t find it morally acceptable to puppeteer some teenage boys as quasi-child soldiers to reach ones goals”. You’d have shared your opinion just the same without confronting the other person for an argument they didn’t make (which in turn is earning you downvotes and burying your otherwise valid point).
