[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

You being a “pacifist” is essentially like people abstaining to vote for Hillary because they didn’t like her, which led to Donald Trump’s election.

[b]You can’t always sit things out and just let them happen to you. [/b]So strap on a set.[/quote]

It's not happening TO US.  The United States. [/quote]

You’re perfectly entitled to be scared. Everyone else can see the right thing is to back an ally who was attacked. It shores up our alliances with countries that represent the “free world”.

If you hadn’t noticed the world is increasingly drifting into multipolarity. Y[b]ou’ve got western nations and you’ve got authoritarian ones and the chasm is widening[/b]. Your stance of cowering in place and not helping choose democracy doesn’t bode well long term for the US.

I’m sorry you don’t grasp that or see that basically donating 1/100th the amount of our yearly defense budget and, mostly, our older outdated equipment to help battle this force of raging drunk, brutal dunces is a good investment for both our soft and hard power.

Again, we all want peace, but we are also America. We are a bastion of hope.[/quote]

That's not true, though.  The US maintains close, amiable relationships with the worst authoritarian regimes in the world.  There is no daylight between the US and, for instance, the Arab Gulf dictatorships. What is your evidence that the chasm is widening? Make the case for the Russia-US stand if you must but don't pretend it's a global struggle of authoritarianism vs. democracy because that's not supported by facts. [/quote]

Dp- you’ve been asleep for the last decade of you haven’t noticed China and Russia becoming for authoritarian and more aggressive.

Are you disputing the U.S. friendship with the Gulf dictatorships?[/quote]

No. I’ve never commented on that, because it’s irrelevant. The US isn’t perfect. I’m ok with that. We are still much much better than Russia. Russia sucks. [/quote]

It’s entirely relevant in the context of your claim of the global stand between democracies and autocracies.  I mean it can’t be relevant when you want and then suddenly irrelevant when you don’t.[/quote]

DP- means “different poster”. I’ve made no claim of the “global stand between democracies and autocracies” . If you’re gonna troll this board and simp for Russia, at least understand the basics about this forum. [/quote]

Then assume it’s not for you.[/quote]
