    This is actually awesome. Then I going support of a nation fighting tooth and nail against the invaders, having their support reaffirmed in a symbol of western decadence inaccessible to Russia.

    Love it.

    I don’t think anyone imagines WW2 could have been averted if only we had placated Hitler harder why should ww3 be avoidable by placating Putin?

    If anything this is ideal Russia is breaking their back on our weapons but retains a trivial route out without any declared conflict.

    If we could have convinced them this would happen ahead of time we could have avoided conflict entirely. As it stands the biggest obstacles to eventual peace is the notion that if Vlad just waits it out Republicans may regain control and collaborate.

      If your understanding of this conflict is so braindead that you think “Putin is exactly like Hitler” and “Selling more weapons that will leave the land uninhabitable for decades is the key to peace” then you’re beyond help. I cannot overstate how stupid and ignorant you come across saying things like this. You are not immune to propaganda, even if you are about to assert that everyone who disagrees with you is “brainwashed” or a “Russian shill” as a way to protect your own ego.

      You should leave, this isn’t the place for you. The only two options are that you either get banned or you learn something new and challenge your preconceived notions. And I know how much liberals hate the latter, so just save yourself the trouble.

        Selling more weapons that will leave the land uninhabitable for decades

        You mean like the thousands upon thousands of landmines around Ukraine?

        Depleted Uranium is, you know, depleted. It’s not radioactive.
