That's just dull contrarianism: suspecting "something fishy" just because everyone's opinions happen to line up. (As opposed to, I dunno, an obvious collective response to a nation doing something incontrovertibly wrong?)
- deltarholamda 5y ago>As opposed to, I dunno, an obvious collective response to a nation doing something incontrovertibly wrong? Can you explain how this is incontrovertibly different than other foreign war entanglements from the past few decades?
- archagon 5y agoWhat was the last war that had such an overwhelming and unanimous international response?
- deltarholamda 5y agoThat is question-begging of the first order, and also circular logic. "A unanimous response is not fishy, because it is incontrovertibly wrong; it is incontrovertibly wrong because the response is unanimous." Very odd reply.
- archagon 5y agoNot really. It is hard to get disparate nations to agree on anything, unless you suspect there is a secret, central party coordinating the response. Consensus of this unusual sort gives credence to the claims.

- deltarholamda 5y agoYou have to squint pretty hard to call Ukraine a western nation. Is it the "western nation" part that makes this different?
