Because in spite of all of my misgivings, and my attempts to educate on the context behind this conflict, all I ask for is some sort of accountability; some oversight regarding the money and equipment my country sends to Ukraine. Not even necessarily to ensure that we don't send them too much...

No, you're not; but I'd have a better shot busting a hole through a brink wall with my face than convincing you otherwise. No matter what I say, you always interpret it in the worst light possible, and then put words in my mouth to make it seem even worse than that. This is why I despise you...

I stand by all those things I said, and do not see how they're incongruent with the position that what Russia is doing is wrong, and should be opposed; just reasons for why they're doing it, and why we need to be very careful about how we support Ukraine. I don't want our money ending up in...

When did I ever say that? That is not, and has never been, my position on Ukraine. Just because I know enough about history and foreign policy to recognize and point out the reasons for why Russia are doing what they're doing, and how America and Europe are at least partially at fault, does not...

Well, at least we can both agree that we despise each other. I'm at the point where I second-guess myself whenever we end up sharing similar positions on a topic; like with the whole situation in Israel. That you think this is a game to be won says everything about the sort of person you are...

You might actually believe that of yourself, but it doesn't match with what I've seen of you. To be perfectly honest, and I've said this before, as a person you disgust me on a level that makes me sincerely wish you weren't a Mod, so that I could have added you to my Ignore list a long time ago...

What I see is a lot of sustained, unrestrained hatred for anyone who disagree with you; and not just on the topic of Ukraine. Whether you think it's justified or not does not change the fact that your words does neither you, nor your side, any favors. *Raises hand* You do remember that you've...

To be fair, it hasn't exactly turned out all that well for Russia; and expecting people to act in their own self-interest rationally is a common mistake.

A disagreement is one thing, but you can't deny that the conversation around the subject of Ukraine has been incredibly heated; to the point where things have frequently devolved into personal attacks. I mean, not more than a few posts above yours, Marduk is accusing anyone who thinks this story...

If you'll forgive me for playing devil's advocate, Biden says a lot of things most sane people would disregard as the ramblings of a senile old man completely disconnected from reality; so I'm not sure him saying we'd blow it up is really proof of anything by itself.

Regardless of who actually did it, and why; I wonder if any apologies are going to be made to the people who even so much as suggested that it might not have been Russia, and got raked over the coals for it?

And you think the United States is a rational actor? It's possible; but that too would be an assumption. Except as he himself is clearly illustrating, there's no way in heck Russia isn't going to be blamed for this; meaning they'll still be on the hook for any contractual violations, and only...
