Yes and choosing tranny rapists is worse. At least own up to it.
All should die in the end, if changing the sequence makes it more optimal to achieve that, why not.
Thats not a culture.
For practical purposes it is, even stone age cannibal rapists are.
Because it was a declining empire.
You do realize that Switzerland was blessed with mountains for protection. Islands are better than being landlocked, but being surrounded by mountains is best, because an island can be taken by a navy.
Still, those are exceptions, even if they happened for reasons.
So would you be angry and horrified if somehow Mexico did beat the U.S. and impose a deal similar to the British put on the Chinese?
We would have no reason to be US allies after the implications of that hit so NATO would not exist since a long time and i wouldn't care much.
Don't be an idiot, we know force would be used to open up trade.
Or it wouldn't be. Or it would and then it would fail. If you want me to be sure, lend me your time machine.
Are you whinning about it? I thought your morality was based on might makes right? Well the West did not attack Russia for that. If it's wrong for Russia to do that to Western nations, is it also wrong for Western nations to do that in Middle Eastern or African nations.
There are different options between peace and attack, like sanctions. Might doesn't make right, but civilization to some degree does, and if it wants to call itself that it has to have some might at least.
Yes because the boomers aren't in charge of the U.S. now.
It's never about boomers or not but which section of what generation. Some boomers hated commies, and some were their willing useful idiots.
I'm sorry show me how Russia or China is bringing in tons of immigrants, how they are making a mockery of traditional religion and culture, and how Russia and China is mutilating young children into the tranny lunatics? I don't think it's any foreign group doing any of those things.
Here, they absolutely do that:
The same circumstances that do not dissuade Tajik migrants from heading to Russia drive some Russians toward Kyrgyzstan and beyond.

Cultural iconoclasm in China — the deliberate disavowal and repudiation of cultural traditions, attacks on the Confucian family system, attacks on classical Chinese, efforts to promote a single, modern, vernacular Chinese — began long before the Cultural Revolution, long before the Communist...

The findings by the United Nations experts are the latest allegations of war crimes against Russia since its invasion of Ukraine.

Ok thank god we agree it was not worth it. So the only differance is that unlike you I'm not a gambler and don't feel like risking that outcome no matter how "unlikely" it is. Answer this Marduk you are Polish right? I understand you don't like Russia and don't want to be under it's yoke.
Well, do you want to be under its yoke? Does anyone? Volunteers? I'm pretty sure they are taking immigrants and some are in fact dumb enough to take that deal considering the numbers so the doors are open as we can see.
However if you knew for a fact that there were only two options either A what I describbed above, or B Russia gets it's sphere of influence minus Poland(so you are free in NATO)
Baltics? Belarus? Our other neighbor? Sorry, but i have to say isolationist doctrines and geostrategy do not fit nicely.
which option would you prefer to have a free Western Poland that is rich but also a Russian Empire nearby, OR the Russian empire broken but Poland is gone from this world also. If those ARE the only options for this hypotetical wouldn't you be willing to leave Ukraine to it's fate?
A free western Poland with a Russian Empire nearby is not be particularly rich because investors will fear war, its trade options will be more limited without a pro-western Ukraine, and it will have to spend a lot of money (no, not 2.1% GDP "a lot", more like 5-10%) on defenses, so your hypothetical implies accepting fiction.
In your alternate reality, it would make sense and i could be convinced to that, but in reality, these topics are more tied than either of us would like. We would love for what happens with our neighbors to absolutely not affect our prosperity and safety at all, we would be completely free to care and virtue signal or not, doesn't matter, we could even afford to be isolationists then, but that is the definition of foreign policy ignorance.
So overall, i agree - in an alternate reality, isolationism can be perfectly reasonable, even for Poland, if it's alternate enough. In our reality though, it's total BS, we have to care whether Russia can play empire next to us or not, whether we like it or not.
