they started working before that and they are married to robert kagan

You don’t have to chose one. Side with people and not with the rulers

Watched the whole interview. This person seem to still live up in the reagan anti-communist rhetoric. She reminds me of these teachers who vent their frustrations on kids and act authoritarian on them as to compensate the lack of something.

cost for the s̶t̶a̶t̶e̶ people

Rich people get richer peasants get poorer, i don’t see much difference.

Russia literally did everything possible to try and avoid this conflict for 8 years prior.

War is a business for everyone not just for the US. World leaders seek money and wealth and war grants it

whats the difference between gaming on linux and running windows games on linux? isnt both of them gaming on linux

There are games that are native to linux that run just fine

lemmy.ml is a horrible place.

Is it?

I’m sharing my feedback and warning others about the malice of these mods and to avoid the place if they seek serious discussion

Ukraine government is just as much corrupted as the government of germany, france, italy or russia. Have you seen climate activists and protesters getting beaten over there? Sending billions on military aid to an authoritarian government that is trying to conscript everyone isn’t a good thing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobilization_in_Ukraine#2024

“As of 26 April 2024, the Polish government has offered, and the Lithuania governments is considering, repatriating Ukrainian men living in their countries to Ukraine. So that they can be drafted into the Ukrainian military. It is a “rough estimate” that some 300-400,000 men alone are living in Poland”

This is part of how the polish government is aiding ukraine. Don’t you think it would be better to give these escaping the war aid and hospitality instead of handling them back to their government?

Good, send them actual aid and not weapons to their government.

They are following the textbook

“democracy”

Where can i find videos from inside gaza showing the strikes or aftermath?

We already let governments stock piling nukes and take away our freedom

Yeah, but Russia invaded Ukraine. So what should be done now.

What about putting sanction on china for providing russia weapons or on emirates and turkey for allowing russian to just chill there and bypass restrictions?

If left to their own devices, Ukraine would be annexed to Russia and surrounding countries would be next.

Where do you got this from? Is Israel planning to invade the whole middle east after they invaded gaza?

the quality of life of the Ukrainians would drastically degrade.

Would it actually? Ukraine turned into an authoritatian regime under martial law where no man between 18 and 60 can leave the country. There’s probably many brave ukranians fighting for freedom but it’s the ukranian government getting money and weapons.

The casualties are already high and the country is getting destroyed, it’s just not happening in your garden

Generally, I’d agree with that sentiment. However, what path forward would provide the best way out of the situation and discourage further conflict in the region?

Stopping the war industry and ceasing all sort of imperialistic activities, even on one side alone will put at end on most conflicts but every ruler is in for more wealth and power, they don’t want to stop. This does not mean that because someone is doing it everyone has to follow suit, it literally means that every corrupted politician and their government seek war.

If there’s anything to be extrapolated from history is that ramping up for war and fueling authoritarian regimes brings you exactly war and dictatorships.

Any violence against free nations should be resisted

So do you agree that palestine should have the rights to defend themself against israel?

The danger of washing our hands

If there’s anyone washing their hands is politicians drinking champagne in dubai next to russian yachts. The same politicians that send people money to ukraine goverement.

It’s not like we send weapons there and ignore anything else.

Who is we? Do you work for the government?

Funding the future of ukraine after it gets destroyed is yet another dirty profit maneuver

That costs many hundreds or even thousands of American lives.

Better dispose of the ukrainians instead

As long as it doesn’t mess up with their business no government in the world care if russia starts a war. Where’s the aid to gaza as a genocide is happening at the hands of israel? War is a business and politicians wants more of it

The good answer is not seeking war and destruction
