Sinteres posted:I thought your entire position was based on idealism. If not for idealism, why should countries outside of the immediate neighborhood care about Ukraine? Throwing away your principles in favor of a stupid troll meme is a weird stand. I'm glad you're here to make sure we don't lose focus on the true tragedy unfolding in Ukraine: the US is bad.

Sinteres posted:Just speaking as an American I think it's hugely embarrassing for my country to be putting out troll memes that insult an entire nation (as opposed to just its political leadership) in the middle of a serious crisis, and I don't care if other countries do it too. Why is it embarrassing? Owning the enemy dujour has roots going back to Ur.

Herstory Begins Now posted:the idea that putin was just yanking nato/western europe/ukraine's chain and wasn't going to do poo poo really seemed pretty pervasive among, like, a lot of russians of all ends of the political spectrum. It was surreal seeing people from all sides politically yesterday just recoiling simultaneously. You never really see that. The various intelligence agencies telling the truth for the first time in their existences required a bit of digestion imo.

I'm not the one who posted it here, I just provided my honest response to it and other people obviously had opinions of their own. That doesn't make it the most important thing happening in the world this moment, but I don't think it's your job to decide what merits discussion and what doesn't.

Sinteres posted:Responding to ethno-nationalism with insults based on ethno-nationalism doesn't exactly defuse it. The US position is ostensibly based on universal principles of sovereignty and liberty and everything, and going down in the mud to post troll memes about how Russia's ancestors were primitives isn't helpful, regardless of who it's in support of. It's not that I think the US is genuinely better than this, it's just not appropriate and I don't want to see it. You're being a prig. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Upgrade posted:At every turn your predictions and analysis over what is going to happen have been spectacularly wrong. Why do you think that is? ? I've been extremely open to the idea that Russia would invade if Ukraine didn't offer concessions, so I have no idea what you're talking about, and think you must be confusing me with other posters. I don't consider anything that's happening so far a new or distinct invasion from 2014 yet, but it still looks to me like there will most likely be one. It seems a little weird for your first post in the thread to be incorrectly attributing predictions to me. Dr Kool-AIDS fucked around with this message at 17:26 on Feb 22, 2022 |

When you get robbed in Eastern Europe, thugs will go at lengths to convince you that you owe them the money or what have you, because beating you up unprompted would be uncivilised.

Watch Putin topple the big elephant in the room, the bureaucratic nightmare that is democracy. The economical fallout from this will further move EU into trump-town where people vote to close off their countries and enact leaders that poop out poo poo about "making *insert country* great again" because the current leaders "didn't do anything about this crisis", thus opening up potential allies to Putin in the shape of stupid political leaders that get off on fascism. This is my bleak vision of the future.

Imaginary Friend posted:Watch Putin topple the big elephant in the room, the bureaucratic nightmare that is democracy. Putin's image of cold calculating autocrat melting into brain worms Slavic fox news grandpa if anything is kind of a blow to the "democracy sucks, autocrats so sexy" brand that has been getting around since 2016. That and the Kazakh shenanigans once again showing how crazy unstable that sort of thing is even in a country that is otherwise a prosperous success story.
