Beautiful. Any argument for a Ukrainian to die in battle also applies to the person making the argument. Ukraine has foreign corps. They’re eager for volunteers

I am too! I was once, as a 32 year old, relegated to the child table with another adult obnoxious relative. We were then asked multiple times to be quiet because we were too loud while laughing and joking. You’re not alone comrade.

Thanks. The worst thing about Canada is that we’re right next to the us. If France was our neighbor, everyone would be upset, but because we’re in a horrible neighborhood, everyone just says ‘better than them’

That’s Canada now… Has been for a while… I hurt myself 9 months ago. It took 5 months for an MRI, and I’m still waiting for the specialist. I’m partially paralyzed…

Agreed. Ukraine won’t exist if everyone there’s dead. As is they’re going to have a demographic crisis. Continuing the fight might actually be the genocide people here are apparently afraid of

Slight addendum: liberals fight against any real progress until it’s inevitable and then take credit

We’ve been living with the consequences of Trump for 8 years. The democrats have been in power for 4 years. I’m not aware of anything the democrats have done to make a dictator less likely. They haven’t cut presidential powers. They haven’t even attempted meaningful healthcare reform. But I’m the one sea lioning… Libs…

What is the opposition proposing to make it harder for that? Actual policies please

I’m saying, they haven’t even attempted to change things. They’re complicit.

You’re right. The supreme court has said that the president can’t do anything illegally. What have the democrats done to reverse that? The democrats do the same things as republicans, but they’re more palatable. There’s a lot of people on the left that think Trump is the harm reduction candidate because people are upset when he does things.

Frankly, I think I nailed it. You’re comfortable around fascists because you’re supportive of fascists. Harris is a fascist, so is Trump. Without going into your comment history, I’m betting that you support the bombing of gaza. That you might understand that crime is a social construct, but also that criminals should be punished sometimes severely. It’s OK that you think it’s OK to sit down with a fascist. I’m of the opinion that it’s OK to punch them.

Libs think there’s a difference between the parties and the Republicans are fascist. Republicans don’t see an actual difference which is where you’re at. Leftists don’t see a difference, but think both sides are fascists. I don’t sit down with fascists, but you do you

Dudes flailing and afraid of a Trump victory. I’ve spoken to Ukrainians, and the consensus seems to be they want to be independent, but they want the war to be done more

The Wikipedia article about it is interesting. It was being constructed when the Soviet Union collapsed. The chinese bought it from Ukraine and finished the construction. So it’s got Soviet bones, but it’s not a Soviet ship

It’s pretty insane. If the guy’s not good enough to run for president how could he possibly be good enough for the job.

Too big to fail? Search is only one revenue stream.

I’m struggling with everything on this article. On the one hand anytime a hostage has been freed, that’s good news. On the other, at what cost. 40 000 dead. That’s the easy stat. Amputations are also incredibly high. Most of them kids and performed without anesthetic. This is the first time the IDF has rescued hostages. So I’m sitting here with my initial feeling of ‘oh, that’s good news’ ,and then I think about the wider picture and context, and it doesn’t seem so good anymore.
