And again moving the moral goalposts. One minute it's an existential struggle between good and evil, the next minute it's "well, it's a gray area, you actually are allowed to shell nuclear power plants, everything that's gonna happen is on your enemy anyway, and as a bonus we'll keep our mouth shut about any inconvenient evidence, mkay?". Seems more like one sports team versus another one looking to bend the rules a little.
That's my problem. One can't have their moral cake and eat it too.
- ceejayoz 3y agoNo, it’s not a moral grey area. Russia shouldn’t be in Ukraine. They bear the responsibility of that invasion.
- justsomehnguy 3y agoI assume you have a similar standing on the presence of USA in Middle East? Or this doesn't work this way for you?
- ceejayoz 3y agoI wouldn’t really equate Ukraine with Hussein or the Taliban, but yes, the US bears huge responsibility for the mess there.
- justsomehnguy 3y agoIt's amusing what you can't spill 'USA shouldn't have been in ME'.
- ceejayoz 3y ago“I am mad you didn’t answer the question I didn’t ask.” No, the US shouldn’t be in the Middle East in a military capacity. It hasn’t done the world much good there.
- justsomehnguy 3y ago> in a military capacity "But overthrowing the democratically elected governments, meddling with politics and financing gallant people is fine, because it's not our boots on the ground who dies there"
- ceejayoz 3y agoAgain with the “I am mad at things I made up”. The US should remain involved diplomatically. I eagerly await the next faux outrage about some bizarre misreading of that statement.
- justsomehnguy 3y agoWhy the hell US should remain involved in any way to the countries on the other side of the planet? > faux outrage about some bizarre misreading of that statement. I'm eagerly await the next reason why US has the right to fuck with anyone.
