I question the motivation of posters who seem to be supporting a viscous dictatorship. Sorry if that's not to your liking.
That's because your "one of those" people.I've spent hours on here describing who I am, you refuse to accept it.
You did an excellent job of taking things out of context. Do I applaud spending trillions on arms? No, but the point was that we did not ship all that money out of the country. It was mainly spent here. Machinists like you made armored carriers, jets, and ammo. Engineers like me wrote software for systems, and it did not go to Afghan warlords or people. Would I have preferred to spend it on health, education, roads, or airports? You can bet your last buck on that. The real point is that even defense spending is a stimulus to the US economy.Good choice. You spend your money on bombing shooting and agent-oranging other people worldwide, China spends their money on trains, water treatment, apartment buildings, factories, hospitals, schools, theme parks, nature reserves, retirement funds, and research.
Good choice, guys. Really good. After pissing away trillions and trillions of dollars on wars that accomplished absolutely nothing, you wonder why the place is falling apart.
Did any of you graduate from the third grade ? Even the ten year old I babysit knows that if he spends his allowance on candy then he has no money to buy toys. It's not difficult to figure out.
Never will accept people who support insurrection in my country. Never will accept people who support a Russian dictator who invades a neighboring country.
Yeah, I'm good with accepting that about myself.
How does anything that the US did throughout history change the fact that a dictator invaded its neighboring county that is starting on a more or less democratic path? They reached out to the west for help, and the request was more or less granted. Are you in favor of dictators invading their democratic neighbors? Do you want Xi to invade Taiwan? Are you in favor of North Korea invading the south? If not, how do you prevent it?Nice try.
A few simple questions, matters of fact not "propaganda" :
How much money and lives did the US spend in Vietnam, and what did it accomplish ?
How much money and lives did the US spend in Iraq and what did it accomplish ?
How much money and lives did the US spend in Afghanistan and what did it accomplish ?
If you had an employee who mucked up 80% of what he touched, what would be the proper way to deal with that situation ?
No propaganda, serious question. If you think that continuing to pursue proven stupid failure methods is the best way to go, that's your right.
Personally, I try to have a more rational approach. None of my thinking involves "foreign propaganda".
One thing different is, I can look around and see what a country can do if it invests in itself rather than military adventures and trying to control the world. It's impressive.
If you would rather see the country go down the toilet following the examples of Greece, Rome, France, the UK, that's your privilege. However, I think it's stupid to continue doing the same thing time after time after time after time after time, but expecting things to "go better next time !"
Yeah right. And tomorrow maybe the sun will rise in the west, to the accompaniment of herds of flying pigs. With lipstick.
When did I ever say that I support those things?
It is not about opposing a warYou are judging why something is said rather than the content of the message itself. Why not simply ask the motive?
You are acting like any speech that questions what you believe must be from the enemy. How is that fair? Furthermore; how do you know that you're always right? For the past year you have treated nearly everything I say as if it were psychologically dangerous.
You previously said; "When someone tells me who they are, I believe them."
I've spent hours on here describing who I am, you refuse to accept it.
I dont think Putin,or his inner circle would be so dumb as to put nuclear weapons in Belarus ...there is a very real chance they could be used against Russia......and everyone in the region knows it.
It is not about opposing a war
IT is about repeating Russian propaganda, and then defending that choice
It is foolish and shortsighted to think Putin would have just stopped, so what is your line where intervention is required?
I dont think Putin,or his inner circle would be so dumb as to put nuclear weapons in Belarus ...there is a very real chance they could be used against Russia......and everyone in the region knows it.
Uhh, yeah, so you sayAnything that is not the beliefs of you and Milland is "Russian propaganda" ... that's a classic smear tactic, you realize.
It's also bullshit but that never stopped a drum-beater.
Oh My Gawd, you're right ! If we don't stop them now, right now ! all of southeast asia will fall to the communists ! And then ... and then ... well, something bad will happen, I'm sure. John Birch said so ! We must defend our way of life !
