Invasions = bad
American invasions = bad
America = not bad

that's quite the logic!

but please, keep doubling down about how it must be everyone else who is missing the point.
Who said America = good? Yes, the fact that you injected that indicates you don't get the point. The point is that (US good or US bad), in the context of Russia invading Ukraine, isn't what matters. But you keep inserting it - which is exactly why I posted that. He's talking exactly about what you just did.
Mich says America good lol. And your tweet says anyone who thinks America bad is an idiot, which might imply a smart person would think the opposite is true?

and for real how is the point of a tweet about America and Iraq supposed to be in the context of Russia invading Ukraine? Is the reader supposed to assume that?

do you mean to say he means to say that whether America invaded Iraq should have no bearing on whether America should be considered good or bad? Or that it's inappropriate to suggest America might be bad just cuz they invaded Iraq? Are we supposed to separate the offense from the perpetrator? Like some "hate the sin love the sinner" kinda way...but "hate the invasion love the invader?"

And that, since we're actually to assume the point of this tweet about America and Iraq should be taken in the context of Russia invading Ukraine...is the point that, the fact America has been fucking around for years in Ukraine should be considered immaterial to the situation?

in the context of Russia invading Ukraine, does he intend some logical analogy? do you think he'd also think that if your main takeaway from the Ukraine war is that "Russia bad" instead of "invasions are bad" then sorry but you're an idiot too?

cuz that feels gross to even just say, don't it? I mean of course Russia bad! They're bad in like every single thing Mich has ever watched!

tho to be fair the only thing Mich has ever watched is Rocky IV.

Don't try to shift the attention to Mich because mjl is making you look silly, again.

A fruitless endeavor. He'll just ask more questions and ignore your answers.

sigh.

part of me really does wanna try to make some point about something and something. Or something.

But at this point, I think it's better to just agree with mjl about this thread.

Stupid for coming back.

I didn't know that Russia and Japan have been beefing over some islands that Japan claims as their territory but Russia has occupied since WW2. Or something.

go figure.

I guess the two things Japan and Ukraine have in common is, they're both neighbors with Russia, and they both teamed up with Nazi Germany in WW2.

But, I'm not sure the domestic dynamic in Japan is quite as radical as the "not exactly choir boys" in Ukraine, nor am I aware of the US and NATO pumping tens of bajillions of dollars worth of weapons indiscriminately into Japan either. Oh, and in contrast to Ukraine being a little bit more autonomous, pretty sure Japan is covered in U.S. military bases.

Sorry, just thinking out loud. hope none of that is too controversial.

Cuz, for real, hope this isn't too controversial, either: Putin needs to stop being a little bitch and accusing everyone else of being nazis just to create pretense for his bullshit invasion ambitions.

maybe, just maybe, ALL of the pretenses for the invasion of Ukraine are bs, and this has always been about nothing more than a healthy appetite for war (and attention?) in the kremlin

YES!

that's what I've said all along! Over and over again.

so please realize that.

Please!

except, lemme nitpick your vocabulary just a bit:

there's no such thing as a healthy appetite for war.

I admit, I expect it much more so from...uh, certain other posters. But with you, I think you're much brighter, and much more open-minded as a whole. So, this is difficult, and frankly a little surprising, to have to say:

Stop only hearing what you wanna hear!

Like I've said all along, the "de-nazify" rhetoric from Putin is bullshit.

Russia's rhetoric is bullshit

This was my response then, and what I’d like to reiterate once again, Putin’s rhetoric is bullshit
ousdahl wrote: Mon Jul 11, 2022 9:47 pm
I don't recall discussion around the legitimacy of that as a reason to invade. Or rather, there wasn't much of a discussion, since as far as I recall, everyone agrees that Putin's "de-nazify" rhetoric was bullshit, and not a legitimate reason to invade.
ousdahl wrote: Thu Apr 14, 2022 3:58 pm let me again clarify - even if Ukraine is run by a bunch of fascists, that in no way justifies the Russian invasion!

Of course the Russian bullshit about nazis was just that - bullshit. Just like I've maintained all along!

I do think that the Putin rhetoric to "de-nazify" Ukraine is just that, only rhetoric

AGAIN...the Russian invasion is evil, and should be condemned

...AGAIN, let's distinguish criticism of the war as a whole, with trying to gaslight me into being some kinda supporter of the other side.
Qusdahl wrote: Wed Mar 09, 2022 3:42 pm
But, again, Russian propaganda can be bullshit...

And as scaru as Russian propaganda may be, I’m also scared of how many of you guys don’t even seem to have considered how much western pro-war propaganda we’re inevitably exposed to right now, and grew up consuming.

The solution, I think, is less a “good guy bad guy pick a side” kinda thing, and more a “be skeptical, be objective, open yourself to the idea that the truth is inevitably in the middle” kinda thing.

And for the love of Jah, stop gaslighting anyone who deviates with your views!

...I guess my question now is, if we can all agree that Putin's rhetoric is bullshit, how are we also so quick to accept the Pentagon's rhetoric is air tight? Did we really learn nothing from WMDs in Iraq?
