@vga @ChiefSinner That it was “aggression” in and of itself is a political belief.

What else would you call it? Even if you buy one of the many bullshit rationalizations Russia has offered, invading a sovereign neighbor is absolutely aggression, if words still mean things.

@Tinidril How about self defense, same thing we would have called the invasion of Cuba if the Russians hadn’t backed down.

So, a US invasion of Cuba wouldn’t be aggressive? I guess words really don’t mean anything then. That’s some really pathetic whataboutism BTW.

@Tinidril It’s realistic is what it is. It’s not trying to paint Putin as some evil Hitler clone. It’s what happens when you don’t have a vested interest in the military industrial complex and aren’t a shill for someone who does.

The hundreds of thousands dead so-far will be glad to know that Putin is just being misunderstood and is actually a pretty nice guy. Who the fuck said anything about Hitler?

@Tinidril If it were not for our input I kind of doubt that would be the case.

You know we are at a precipice, we have the technology now to really make this world a nice place, or we can fight over what are mostly obsolete resources and turn it into a hellscape. I would prefer the former but obviously you and a lot of others prefer the latter.
