Not sure why you're being downvoted. Russia's economy and military have been flogged by their war in a way America's has not. Moreover, we have midterms this year and a Presidential election in 2. Moscow has no similar 'fuck it' exit option.
- mikkupikku 7mo agoThe American people are already getting flogged when they buy fuel and groceries. The longer this war continues the worse it will get. Nonetheless, the American people themselves are mostly safe at home, the precedent for Iran launching any sort of attacks against the American homeland is basically nonexistent. Even sending terror cells, you'd think Iran would be on this for how often their western critics accuse them of funding terrorism, but in America? Crickets. This war is bullshit.
- JumpCrisscross 7mo ago> American people are already getting flogged when they buy fuel and groceries No, we're not. It's bad. But it's nothing compared to Russia.
- mikkupikku 7mo agoNot as bad as Russia... damning with faint praise, aren't we?
- JumpCrisscross 7mo ago> damning with faint praise, aren't we? No. I'm calling out bullshit. If someone says Bob is a terrorist, and I say no, Bob is not a terrorist, I'm not damning Bob "with faint praise" by calling out a nonsense comparison. There is plenty bad America is doing and threatening in this war. We don't need word games to discuss them adultly.
- SanjayMehta 7mo agoAnd you know about Russia how exactly? Ever been there?
- mikkupikku 7mo agoDownvotes from ziofascists are always a great reward. Let's go for some more, do tell me, where have been the Iranian terror cells in America? We know the US funded terror cells in Iran, the president bragged amount arming groups in Iran to overthrow the government. When has Iran done this to America? It hasn't happened. The narrative of Iran being a funder of terrorism is essentially bullshit, particularly in relation to America, and no less in relation to Israel (a state founded on acts of terrorism against the British and Palestinians.)
- SanjayMehta 7mo agoYou're trying to educate the wilfully ignorant. I do it too, in the dim hope that maybe, just maybe, one hypocrite will actually look up the reality and get educated. It's a fools errand, especially on Hypocrisy News, a politer version of Reddit.
- AlexeyBelov 7mo agoMaybe you should shop hanging around here then. I'm unsure of exactly why you haven't been banned yet with your comment history.
- SanjayMehta 7mo agoNo.
- ceejayoz 7mo agoRussia’s economy and military have been flogged for years to get to the current point. The US is just on month two. The two powers have wildly different militaries and strategies. Comparing body counts is never gonna be a super helpful metric by itself.
- JumpCrisscross 7mo ago> Russia’s economy and military have been flogged for years to get to the current point. The US is just on month two Russia's military power has been vastly diminished by its war. If America committed to a ground invasion and then stuck with it through the next President, yes, we'd probably see similar degradation of American martial ability over years. > two powers have wildly different militaries and strategies. Comparing body counts is never gonna be a super helpful metric by itself Agree. But it does point to the extent to which one system will go to reduce loss of life.
