    hoping this is true.



    Great piece illustrating how the U.S. should keep back channels with Russia open & make clear what actions need to take place in order for sanctions to be revoked.

    Wow that's disgusting

    However, I doubt a Russian cat could have done that. All these actions, the dumb ones like, not allowing the new Batman movie to be released in the cinema there, not releasing play station games there anymore and other things like that are really dumb, to me at least. You punish over 100 mil people for the decision of one lunatic? Can't see any logical reason behind all these severe restrictions

    US invasion of Iraq was BS, but comparing invading a country where a brutal dictator tortures and murders civilians to invading a country that isn't doing what you want them to do and then murdering civilians is different.

    Worm is right. Both are bad decisions but Russia invading Ukraine is far more black-and-white than the U.S. invading Iraq. This is purely due to the actors involved. It’s far easier & morally/ethically defensible to support Ukraine in this instance vs supporting Saddam Hussein who was a genocidal dictator. Ukraine is unique in this instance though. It’s rare that one side has the very obvious moral/ethical high ground in war. A lot of times there’s no real “good guys.” And that’s not to say everyone fighting on the Ukraine side are “good guys” but you could make that case for any side that’s fought in any war ever. Everyone on the Allies side during WWII weren’t good either.
