The War in Ukraine

[ZiggysFryBoy]

Cheering for the death of a justly and fairly elected foreign leader of a sovereign nation?  How despicable.

That's getting to being close to Rico's schtick.

Nah. I'm fine with Putin being sent to Siberia. Not calling for his assassination, but honestly- that would not bother me one bit. My "surprise" birthday comment can be interpreted any way one chooses. I just want him gowne.

This was a nice birthday fireworks display.

Looks like the damage will be fixed quickly but that's a big psychological blow.

Units of the Dzerzhinsky operational division – the elite of the Russian Guard – are reported to have entered the city. They are allegedly moving towards the centre together with police units.

That is hysterically funny!  Thanks for posting.  I'm glad that I finished my coffee before seeing it or I would be soaked.

So we're cool with US taxpayer money being used to carry out ISIS style terror bombings that kill innocent civilians?

[tower912]

Putin is the bad guy here.  Always has been.   Everything that is happening now is a result of his crime against the world.

[Uncle Rico]

Yes

[Boozemon Barro]

Putin is the bad guy here.  Always has been.

Your childlike understanding of good and evil makes you quite easy to propagandize.

[tower912]

You believing Putin is the good guy shows you have already given up rational thought for the cult.

I didn't realize we were funding Putin.

I don't think there is a good guy in this war.

[Uncle Rico]

I don't think there is a good guy in this war.

Which one is a greater threat to the world?

[The Sultan]

I don't think there is a good guy in this war.

There is one that is significantly less good. And his country invaded another sovereign country.

I am interested to hear what you think we should be doing here.

[MU82]

I don't think there is a good guy in this war.

You don't think Putin is the "bad guy"?

[🏀]

I don't think there is a good guy in this war.

Whoa.

Are there good guys in any war?

[Scoop Snoop]

I don't think there is a good guy in this war.

Well, months ago one prominent American said that Putin was a "genius" and "savvy" to start this war by positioning himself to take a large chunk of the country, so there's that.

Maybe you have a point, provided that we ignore that only one of the two leaders has nukes and is threatening to use them. Oh, the fact that one is defending his country and the other is trying to add it to his country? Irrelevant!

You win. Let's go with your equivalency.

Its possible to be isolationist without steering into moral relativity oblivion. My unsolicited advice is to put your energies into exploring that.

And my unsolicited advice to you is to put your energies into exploring 20th century history, of which you are either woefully ignorant or totally dismissive of. How did isolationism work in stopping Hitler? Keep your head in the sand if that makes you happy.

Woof. Just highlighting to our friend Boozeman that a person can take the position that we should be doing less in Ukraine without also having to believe that Ukraine is just as bad as Putin's Russia.  That's not actually my personal opinion, but its one that I can engage with.  But hey, I appreciate a kneejerk proof of Godwin's law as much as the next guy, so thanks for that.

Nice try. but no cigar.
