yes and yes but depending on how a person responds to things it can also be 2x no
I am not surprised.
me neither and i already posted that in the correct topic
The AfD refused to condemn Putin.
Yes, and that is the only issue I have with them. But thanks to Trumps latest Greenland annexation statements (among others), he made all Putin criticism regarding Ukraine (as well as Hitlers annexations) pointless.
How? Trump may invade Greenland, but that doesnât justify Putin invading Russia.
Correct, one injustice doesnât make another injustice right or however that saying is translated into English. I didnât change my mind regarding that the West should have helped Ukraine. I mean, really helped, instead of literally killing the Ukraine but also Europe economically by the laughable âhelpâ we did. Morally, I am all for Ukraine. Realistically, I am convinced Ukraine and the West lost that war long ago already and therefore that AfD position isnât any reason for me anymore to reconsider my vote. The USA is not more trustworthy and reliable as is Russia or China. I also lost any trust in itâs leadership skills and even the morale right to lead the Western World.
I go even that far to say, fuck morals in politics. All what really just counts is economy and power. Thatâs the bloody naked reality. Moral never played a role in any war. Also not in WWI or II. Maybe it took me 54 years to finally grow up.
We say, âTwo wrongs donât make a right.â
If you mean with troops on the ground, WW3 would be here. It may be worth it to you, but others (including me) will disagree. As stomach-churning as it is to say âsacrifice Ukraine to avoid nuclear warâ, thatâs exactly how I feel.
Yes.
Reasonable.
The only good thing Trump has done is to make that fact obvious to everyone. Now we know where we stand. As loaded as the term may be, there truly is a New World Order. Trump created it. We can no longer trust the US to keep its word. We can no longer trust the US not to invade its allies. We can no longer trust the US, period.
Here we differ. We have gone 80 years with relative peace. It appears that time is coming to an end, but just because the Americans, Russians and Chinese have elected cavemen doesnât mean the rest of us need to emulate them.
No, I never ever said anything like that. Maybe I got into a bad mood today due to the pondering I did this morning, but sometimes I am too tired by the amount of misinterpretations regarding my positions. I appologize if this response is too rude but I donât intend it to be. I am just tired having to do this over and over again.
It wasnât rude at all. What did you mean by âI mean, really helpedâ then? And if you find this repetitive, feel free to skip it.
I am personally of the opinion that, short of boots on the ground and nuclear weapons involved, there would have been no way to have repelled the Russian invasion. And that would be WW3.
We should have sent them the weapons they asked for at the time they asked for. Not years later, because those weapons were available way earlier than delivered. Without those ridiculous restrictrictions to not fire onto Russian soil, despite most the material, rockets and all planes start from there. We should have helped to shield their sky in the North, South and Western part (down to Odessa) to make it a save place for their refugees as well as our sent weapons. Instead, we let them bombed, lol.
In my opinion, if Ukraine had successfully attacked well inside Russia, in a way that Russia could not have responded to, Russia would have nuked Kyiv.
Well, here we disagree. But I think itâs inevitable to test it, at least if we donât want any country with (nuclear) power to attack a weaker country again in the future. Cause this will be the lesson all those power houses learn from Russia winning this immoral war.
Are you sure about that? I bet if you think about it for a short time you can voice a whole host of issues you have with them.
Germany did their part, which Iâm sure make you proud.
Try to remember, Germany is a NATO member, not a member of communist China. Why are you putting down a co-member nation and praising the enemy?
Germany is not really a moral example for America to take leadership instruction from, but I appreciate your narrow view.
We can no longer trust you to keep your opinion about America to yourself either.
What are you saying, Reg? America is a communist country?
You sounded serious until you laughed. Now you just sound like itâs just a joke.
That was never going to happen. Ukraine was never allowed to go that far. NATO members made sure of that.
I never have, Michele. Nor have you (or Ben) kept your opinions about Canada to yourselves. Nor should any of us.
Not at all. You have all elected dictatorial strongmen.
Agreed.
Thatâs not true, Reg. I donât go around telling people how Canadians look down their noses at Americans. If Iâm going to share something about your country, I prefer to see the best things in it, like what you post about Canada. The real beautiful parts that makes Canada appealing.
UmâŚ
Michele, we all express our opinions about every country in the world, and about things not of this world. As we should. Free Speech Zone.
That was in reply to you saying the everyone was laughing, which may be true but you why did you say it? It had nothing to do with the topic itself. Imo, it was deliberate and meant to make me feel bad.
It was a deliberately intended to make anyone who wants to invade and occupy my nation feel bad. Michele, if someone says they hope to invade and occupy the USA, I would expect you to hate them. I hate those who seek to invade and occupy my nation.
Thatâs interesting. You didnât have that opinion when the American border was being invaded.
