    Putin being a batshit insane lunatic ready to kill another few hundred thousand young Russians for his ambitions doesn’t make the situation easier.

    They still think this war is because Putin woke up one day and decided to invade because he’s just crazy and evil like that.

        I heard from multiple liberals with no knowledge of Russia that Putin is trying to recreate the Russian Empire.

        From what period? Who knows? Will the pale of settlement be recreated, but maybe this time replacing Ukraine with an autonomous Jewish republic (interesting possibility that should’ve been done in the 30s, but I don’t blame Soviet leadership for not wanting to be the ones that incite the holocaust)?

        Is this an empire that will include Siberia and the far east? What about the former Beasarabia region? Will it go to Russia or the Ottomans?

        Why, and why suddenly now? Who knows?

        Do liberals have any idea what they’re talking about? We’ll never know.

        Most importantly, do liberals have a massive amount of unexamined racism when it comes to Russians?

        It’s amazing to witness. Over 100 years of US public policy, foreign and domestic, is entirely based on weakening Russia so it can be pillaged by the richest Westerners. We literally don’t have health-care because we need the money for munitions used to threaten Russia. Countless US citizens die so we can menace Russia. Our domestic police state exists to suppress left wing movements that consciously or not take inspiration from Lenin and Russian worker organizing. Social conventions have developed that will lead to you being unemployed and ostracized if you too vigorously insist that maybe Russia = Bad fails to really explain anything.

        This is all made possible with deliberately cultivated racism, completely uncommented on by libs. Absolute idealism. No intellectual rigor at all. Just pure smugness.

          I heard from multiple liberals with no knowledge of Russia that Putin is trying to recreate the Russian Empire.

          Sleepy Joe, during the debate, unironically said something along the lines of Putin wants to conquer Kiev because it was a part of the Soviet “Empire”. Its pure cope and projection.

    I wasn’t expecting half of the comments to be complaining that women don’t have to to fight lol. If you think of yourself as a based and trad conservative or whatever and you’re made that women aren’t fighting in wars I think you’ve gotten kind of mixed up.

      They’re not like that, they’re like the Zionists that jerk off to IDF e-girls who think it makes you morally superior to also enlist women in your neo-SS.

      Please send the fucking European working class aristocracy to Ukraine, let’s see if their words turn to action or if they’ll shit their pants and beg for signing Putin’s deal for a peace treaty

    Funniest possible timeline is one where the EU decides to send troops so they start conscripting. These coward Redditors try to claim conscientious objector status and the court waves their bloodthirsty reddit-logo posts in their face.

    Chicken hawks are always the same

    Still remember arguing with a bunch back when I was handsome (2003) and hearing just the absolute stupidest and most bloodthirsty shit from cowards who ran the gamut from

    “Well, I’m too old” (they were 19)

    “I’m too tall” (6’ 2")

    “I’m more useful in a technological environment” (was failing computer science class)

    Really set me down a path

      “I’m more useful in a technological environment”

      This is the funniest one. When confronting comfortable liberals in the west, they have no problem volunteering as long as they’re assigned to “intelligence or cyber operations for support”

    Fighting in wars is the oldest, proudest masculine tradition. These men need to have pride in what they are fighting for. After all, bröther, someone needs to die for Exxon and Aramco.
