Nah, safest place is the UK. Learn yourself something technical about the equipment and hope the Ukrainians send you there when you wave the white flag.

That's true and makes sense, but it's also morally repugnant. In times of survival it can be a tough necessity to discard morals and ethics, and I wouldn't blame a Ukrainian for such views. You don't have that excuse though, and making an immoral choice purely to support a political position...

I promise, you can leave off that caveat for your future posts and we will all imagine/pretend like you added it anyway.

Oh, yeah, and don't get me wrong. I love a lot about America. I think also that you're basically right about most of that. I dunno about other nations thinking that there is that public support for intervention and aid though. I think it's more that most nations agree that it's a good thing but...

🤨 Most of the American public are under-informed, undereducated, and excessively entitled. (To be clear, I don't think you or even most the Americans on this site are, but I don't think this site represents the general American population.) Both NATO and the current global nuclear climate were...

You don't have to be angling to build an empire to be in the game. Preventing any country building up to a point where they can threaten American and their interests (Which doesn't have to come even close to meaning actual physical invasion.) is still playing the game.

So? Having weapons of mass destruction can't be carte blanche for aggressive expansionist foreign policy unless you're willing to just completely capitulate. If you supinely let them conquer Ukraine, the idea they'll just stop being a dick at that point is beyond naive. Rather, they'll just get...

Um, sorry, are you drunk?

Huh. I can't tell if that's an extension of the metaphor or just a personal anecdote? If it's the former I'm sorry but you'll need to elaborate. If it's the latter, that does suck and my sympathy. Dunno about in the US but over here at least they've been very good about compensation the few...

If you mean specifically for America, then kinda yeah, sure. So I guess it's a good thing no one is really asking America to fight this war. Just gotta sit back and watch the enemy ram their face teeth first into a brick wall. Sure America are helping to fund that wall, but saying you shouldn't...

Lol, it's been going a lot longer than that... Pretty sure there's been wars for basically as long as we've had anything approximating nations.

Today I learnt what nozh era is. And I've just decided I want to see if I can find a video of what a tank looks like if you set off all the era at once.

Lol, no results? After "so many time" (Which is what, a month?) Ukraine has taken more territory back than Russia took in the 12 months before. And that's only what we know about and before the bulk of the offensive force has commited.

It really hasn't been going that long?

I think it was an ironic suggestion, intended because it hampers them and makes nice easy targets.

I think if you set this to the right "tense background music" and overlay with heavy breathing escalating at the right moments, you'll in some way approximate the recorder's experience in proxy. Or alternatively watch the footage through a special device set to administer electric shocks of...

Yeah, definitely the US bringing misery to Ukraine. Those dastardly bastards giving Ukraine weapons, forcing russia to take far longer looting, kidnapping, raping, and murdering them. You're a fuckwit. I wish on you all the misery you'd happily condemn the Ukrainian people to.

I know it's not actually incorrect usage, and I can just about get my head around it but the exclusionary triple negative at the end there really does my head in. There's gotta be a better way to phrase that?

I mean, as an ideal, sure. But practically speaking there's just boat loads of hazard generated by a soldier's own side. Back blast from a rocket launch, friendly fire, improperly marked or communicated mine fields, some rando trooper digging a defensive ditch you didn't expect on your night...

Imagine that, soldiers facing risk and health hazards in a war. It's unacceptable I tell you! How many of these rounds do you think are being fired? On a list of the things causing long term damage to Ukraine, where do you think this particular issue ranks? My answer's would be not many and not...
