[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, under which conditions is it legit to be a pacifist?  Do you think anyone can legitimately be anti-war?  Or are they automatically a bot or a victim of propaganda?

The only country's foreign policy that I have a vested interest in is my own.  I get a vote. I can call my elected representative.    I can try to be persuasive to those around me to convince them to do the same.

More likely that your position of “pacifism”, which is clearly transparent and a poor choice and essentially is you advocating to leave Ukrainians out to dry, is the stupid and informed by right wing news.

We get it. Your news sources are telling you to like Russia, probably because you are conservative, strongly religious (Christian), and have a natural proclivity toward Russia’s particular brand of authoritarian/strongman/anti-gay/pro-traditional values.

So to you, Ukraine getting attacked and taken over by Russia isn’t that bad because they’re all sort of Russian anyway right? And you don’t really mind Putin? And like, the US totally wouldn’t look bad to its European allies if it simply turned tail and let everyone else fend for themselves right?

No dude. The best path is to show support. Show we are a beacon of hope. Not your little weak, impulsive poorly reasoned, weasel nonsense.

Nope.  Actually I am non-religious,  have never voted Republican,  don't watch Fox news, and am LGBT.

I don't give two shits about Russia or Ukraine.  I want our resources to benefit American citizens.  Our politicians work for American interests. Keep us safe.  Keep us prosperous.  Other people's governments can work towards their interests.

I also would like to avoid being vaporized in a nuclear war and expect my politicians to successfully minimize those risks.   I have no confidence in the foreign policy that has lead us to this point.   What does Ukraine bring to the table that we should be responsible for their defense and go toe to toe with a country with nuclear weapons?

Why do we need to be involved in wars between other countries?  Why this particular conflict and not the rest of the military conflicts the world over?
