But I was assured by the ncd guys that Russia would choke on Kursk and balkanize any day now that Biden let Ukraine strike inside Russia!
Yeah every Western analyst has been saying: You're stupid and propagandized to think that the meat grinder war can be won by the country with the most meat.
And I was assured that the Russian economy was doing great due to the increasing GDP and the sanctions weren't affecting things.
Perhaps reality lies somewhere between what the blowhards and propagandists are saying. And perhaps all of us who oppose the concept of nations attacking other nations, militarily or otherwise, should recognize the threat Russia poses and support Ukraine with more than merely half hearted weapons transfers.
This is "whataboutism" and you should not do it.
This is exactly as much whataboutism as the comment I replied to...if you ignore my second sentence.
How was the comment you replied to whataboutism? Please, elaborate. I want to understand how you think.
Upon consideration, it wasn't so much whataboutism as it was hyperbole. Which was the entire point of my original comment.
You're a hot mess, friend. Keep your chin up.
I'll continue to use you as my guiding light. Or not.
