Pass the KoolAid

Shoot James Brady in the back?

For one, I was speaking from the perspective of people participating.

So, in addition to supporting their conscription, you’ve decided to speak for them.

Beyond that, I don’t think it’s a stretch to consider Russia a threat to Europe.

Russia might be, but they’re also the neighbor, and will continue to be there. Unless you can start to address security concerns of both the EU and Russia, your only other choice is going to be the destruction and subjugation of one or the other. Do you intend to send others to fight (since you don’t yourself) to kill hundreds of millions of Russians?

What else would you call a hostile power with the stated desire to claim your land for themselves?

The United States. The same entity that pushed this proxy war, btw.

and ultimately my own country and self.

Trust me, it’s painfully obvious that you have no problem seeing Ukrainians die in the trenches for the small benefit you think will accrue to you.

The fun part of this is going to be the blowback - because the Ukrainians are also well aware of it.

But I will not demand that another country roll over and submit to an imperial aggressor

You’re just willing to demand that countries you don’t live in continue to fight and die for the war you won’t.

I’m very much eager to avoid any situation where I would have to become a fighter, brave or otherwise

In which case you should, if you had any shred of integrity, shut the fuck up about deciding to put others into the hell that is a war zone.

Otherwise, take your label of chickenhawk and wear it with the shame it deserves.

Referring to “the enemy” when you’re not fighting makes your desire to appear as part of the war effort obvious.

Why can’t you go fight in this war that you obviously support? Again, people are literally being forced to. Why isn’t a possibility with you, who unlike many of the people forced feels this war should continue?

Seems, like most of the NAFO folks, you’re eager to tell yourself you’re a brave warrior . . . and willing to fight to the last Ukrainian, and not one step further.

You’re pretending to be doing something while conscripts die for the war you cheerlead, chickenhawk.

You’re more pathetic and disgusting than a plain coward. At least they don’t try and pretend they’re involved

Much nicer than being shot at, like the Ukrainian and Russian soldiers are forced to. Plus, you get to say things like “the enemy” from the security of your couch! o7

Uh huh. And how long have you been serving in Ukraine yourself?

How long have you been in Ukraine?

What section are you serving in?

I mean, they have plenty of time it seems - unlike the conscripts in the trenches.

Yeah, apparently the limit was 2 inches

The next six months will have Iraq turn around!

“every little bit helps” said the old woman as she pissed in the sea . . .

LLM coops might have a big future

you can sell the Framework. There is quite a large market for used ones, as most of their customers don’t seem to agree with you.

So, sell your framework and buy an ASUS?

yeah, computer repair people are not exactly the target audience. Enjoy your ASUS I guess.

When your Framework has a problem with the screen, you buy a new screen for 300.

When your ASUS has a problem with the screen, you buy a new laptop. Which isn’t going to be on special at the time.

The price isn’t that much more. You can easily compare that.

Have you seen Georgia? They need more clothes, not less.
