You are naive if you think giving countries who threaten war or even start them everything they want and more is going to decrease the chance of more of the same.
I love playing the uncompromising pacifist or vatniks game.
What does it tell you that those are the same side?
In what fucking world do people who unquestioningly believe Russian propaganda qualify as "uncompromising pacifists"?
I don’t actually know what vatnik means. I was guessing from context that it meant Communist or leftist or something.
We're on the internet, bro. You have a search engine right fucking there. I didn't know what vatnik meant either until I googled it 20 seconds ago. What is your excuse?
I googled and found it was a kind of jacket used in the Red Army.
don't you think it says something that this is the only excuse people who defend trump can come up with anymore
Oh, I’m not defending Trump. He’s terrible.
Yeah I really got that impression from your comment framing Trump's stances on various wars as reasonable compared to Harris's
I wouldn’t use the term “reasonable”, because I don’t think Trump’s positions are well-reasoned, or even well-informed. I think his foreign policy is one of apathy rather than one of enlightened peacekeeping.
But I’ll take that over Harris’s instinct for military aggression, especially with the world on the brink of WW3.
