actually a prostitute would have a lot of value to offer in terms of wisdom about sexuality.
as would the US after its mistakes.
you are not really getting the big issues here. The big issue is to bring more good into the world and push out evil. Focus on that for a while.
You're never going to convince a nihilist that any of these details matter. Everything Russia does is fine because the west is bad. Anything is justifiable because the US has done bad things in the past.
It's called pointing out hypocrisy.
For the USA to call any other state a war criminal is chutzpah to the highest degree
It is interesting to me how easily the right wing in the US became Pro Russia during Trump's Presidency. All of our right wingers are full on cheerleaders for Russia's invasion of their neighbors and their genocidal goals for Ukraine. It all happened so quickly during the 4 years of Trump's presidency. Is it Fox news and Tucker? Is it social media bots? Is it simply the fact that Trump was a useful idiot to Russia (and other authoritarian dictators) and they love Trump and therefore love Russia? Did they buy into the Rudy Giuliani Russian propaganda against Ukraine? It is public knowledge that Russian money finds it's way into GOP donor money so that explains politicians positions, but that does not explain the rank and file right wingers on this web site.
I suspect it will never be fully understood how quickly and easily an entire political party mindset can be changed so easily.
Exactly. From a purely "America First" standpoint, the more aid we give to Ukraine, the better.
Who are our biggest rivals and enemies? Russia, Iran, and North Korea. Helping Ukraine kills 3 birds with one stone. Degrade Russia's military, deplete Iran's drones, and deplete North Korea's artillery that they're sending to Russia.
And as a bonus, the less wrecked Ukraine is, the fewer Ukrainian refugees we have to deal with.
"Logic" would dictate that US tax dollars would be most beneficial to America... IN AMERICA.
Russia is a dying 3rd world nation. The only threat they pose to the 1st world is nuclear war which isn't on the table unless the west puts it there.

People focus on hypocrisy when they are no longer capable of making a positive case for their own behaviors.
Someday when you grow up, you'll learn that everyone everywhere is hypocritical. Pointing out the hypocrisy of others doesn't justify your own actions, under any circumstances. Most children learn this lesson in grade school.
And I don't watch lying sh*tfaces like Jimmy Dore and Clayton Morris on YouTube.
Would not want to be exposed to anything that counters the state narrative.
You are being obtuse. If Dore lies on his twitter feed (you ignored the substance by pleading ignorance of twitter), why would anyone trust him to change his spots and tell the truth on You Tube?

So we're agreed that Russia is committing war crimes but we're not allowed to say so?
Stop commiting war crimes yourself first, then call out Russia. Otherwise it's really hard to buy your "stop this war for the good of the humanity" agenda.
The world needs a real change - every country recalls their soldiers from foreign bases, cuts military budget only to afford defense within its own borders and sanctions every other country, which acts aggresively toward others.
But this bullsh*t right now - "rules for thee and not for me" ist simply cringy.

So the US spending billions of dollars to buy AMERICAN weapons from AMERICAN companies that employ AMERICANs sounds like it’s consistent with the most beneficial way to spend U.S. tax dollars according to your “logic”.

You’ve claimed you don’t support or oppose Russia’s invasion. So, unless you’re a hypocrite (which is likely), you must also not support or oppose previous actions by the West.
Also, I love your fun little fantasy. Unfortunately, some countries try to annex their neighbors (not naming any names) because they don’t think those neighbors deserve to exist. How do you suggest the world respond to such countries when they invade their neighbor? Remember, some countries (e.g., Switzerland) refuse to even implement sufficient sanctions to be truly punitive. Your ideal little fantasy breaks down as soon as there is one bad actor, and there will always be at least one bad actor.

Every invasion, wether by Russia, NATO or China is an instant violation of the UN Charter.
The question is how it's being spun and portrayed by the media and that's why I always have to point out hypocricy.
Putin attacks civilian infrastructure in Ukraine = war crime. NATO attacks civilian infrastructure in Serbia = had to be be done. Don't see nothing wrong here?
I also wonder when will it be made public, that Brits exploded Nord Stream? Probably 60 years later in a declassified document, just like with the Gulf of Tonkin incident.

The problem is though, that AMERICANS need to invest more in education, healthcare and other social aspects and not into weapons yet again.
Just like big chunk of population owning guns leads to gun violence epidemic, the same way having by far largest military in the world leads to being involved in every war.
But with fitted brainwashing all seems to be good in the land of the free.

The US has like 20 of the top 25 universities in the world. Sounds like you European delinquents should get your act together.
p.s. Russia has like 1 university in the top 100. Sounds like what you’re trying to say is that Russia should stop invading other counties and spend some rubles on education.

I tried to find a Swiss company that had actually done anything to influence modern society to the extent that Apple, Microsoft, Google, SpaceX, Tesla, etc… has done. For some reason I couldn’t come up with any.

Good. So we agree that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a violation of the U.N. charter. What do you suppose the appropriate global response is? What about if sanctions don’t yield the desired response?
Swiss contribution to the world is a pen knife with a bunch of crap on it that’s useless, overly expensive watches that are functionally obsolete, cheese with holes in it, fondu which peaked in popularity in 1978, and overrated chocolate.
Ok, the chocolate is actually quite good but the Swiss Army knife sucks.
Swiss are basically Germans who can’t make anything worthwhile and with no sense of humor, which is saying something because the Germans aren’t that witty to begin with.
Leaked internal polls by the Kremlin show that popular support for the war has dropped from 2/3 to 1/3. Putin has locked down public discussion of the war and martial law will soon be imposed in lead up for general mobilization. Meanwhile Mobiks are perishing in the freezing mud without proper shelter much less fighting equipment. It is now just a matter of months.....

First step is to fix own violation of the UN chapter
1. withdraw from Syria. Put in jail responsible. Pay reparations
2. Put in jail those responsible for Iraq, pay reparations.
3. Put in jail those responsible for Afganistan. pay reparations
4. Repeat the same for tens for other coutntries you damaged

Remind me again how much land the US has annexed in those countries?
