Second, the woke plague is closer and is more powerful than Putin, so the more the later distracts the former, the better. Once the plague is defeated, it will be time to reassess the situation. Third, I think the best outcome for all of us, Ukrainians and Russians included, is a short war, whoever wins is secondary. The Ukrainians will change a corrupt puppet for another, and that is all. Ukraine does not look like having chances to win, so helping Ukraine could be seen as a cruel thing, prolonging suffering. Fourth, Ukraine could win if NATO enters the war. Unfortunately the chances of that leading to thermonuclear exchange are practically 100%, and one billion people would die. So, what is now the reprehensible and stupid position? Also, Franco used the Nazis against the Communists, and he was no Nazi whatsoever, but a Catholic Conservative. Eisenhower, and Nixon, at least, understood that.

They do not distract each other, and Putin will do nothing about it because their existance are deteriorating his western opponents. Disagree. He is doing something inside Russia, and has mentioned this problem in several speeches. Your arguments remind me very much about those that collaborator types were making during WW2. "The resitance is just making things worse. Look what they're forcing the Nazis to do against you!" In order for a war to be considered as just, there should be a reasonable chance of winning it. Do you see a reasonable chance for Ukraine to win this war, yes or not? Nothing is practically 100% except death and taxes. 99.999% then, there was an article written by someone that spent a good part of his life doing wargames at the Pentagon simulating this case. In 100% of the cases, thermonuclear war was the outcome. Franco wasn't a Nazi, but he was still a fascist scumbag. You do not know shit about the best statesman Spain has produced since, at least, Charles III during the 18th century, sorry. Anyway, that was only an illustrative example. The fact that you did not wanted to comment on the thesis says something. Edited April 4, 2022 by sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retaliation for imaginary wrongs is an especially despicable result of the kind of misinformation the Ukr government is so fond of. I do not think I've seen videos of Russians torturing Ukrainians, for instance. Or they are extremely discreet, or they are under quite strict orders.

Yes, in Russia where it's a problem for him. Not in the west where it benefits him. 31 minutes ago, sunday said: In order for a war to be considered as just, there should be a reasonable chance of winning it. Do you see a reasonable chance for Ukraine to win this war, yes or not? That's a very weird definition of what constitutes a just war, but as for whether I think the Ukrainians have a chance or not, it depends on a lot of factors like what would be an acceptable outcome for them, and how the war will progress from this point onwards. I will admit, however, that I simply do not know enough about this to give you a yes or no answer, but I think it's worth supporting them as long as they're willing to fight for their homeland. 31 minutes ago, sunday said: 99.999% then, there was an article written by someone that spent a good part of his life doing wargames at the Pentagon simulating this case.

sunday Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) I am sorry, but you are having too much fun pretending to have a honest discussion when you clearly are not doing that. Let's go to the point: How much do you hate Russians, Laser Shark? By the way, on the Catholic doctrine of just war: Quote 2309 The strict conditions for legitimate defense by military force require rigorous consideration. the gravity of such a decision makes it subject to rigorous conditions of moral legitimacy. At one and the same time: - the damage inflicted by the aggressor on the nation or community of nations must be lasting, grave, and certain; - all other means of putting an end to it must have been shown to be impractical or ineffective; - there must be serious prospects of success; - the use of arms must not produce evils and disorders graver than the evil to be eliminated. the power of modem means of destruction weighs very heavily in evaluating this condition. These are the traditional elements enumerated in what is called the "just war" doctrine. The evaluation of these conditions for moral legitimacy belongs to the prudential judgment of those who have responsibility for the common good. source Edited April 4, 2022 by sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True liberal democracy - ask Trump about the 2020 election Human rights - Abortion goes against right to life, the first and most important human right Freedom of speech - Have you heard of cancel culture, and that Nobel Prize that was hounded until he resigned from an emeritus professorship? Of Facebook and Twitter... Freedom of religion - Not very defended in Irak by the Western countries, Iraki Christians are on the way out, and American Christians are also hounded, there was that Christian bakery and those upstanding citizens... finally the bakery was ruined. Right of assembly - Heard of confinement because of Covid? What happened in Ottawa, or in Australia? Meritocracy - Where? It could work in Scandinavia, but on countries with affirmative action it really ceased to exist quite long time ago. Then, well, which political party embraces all these theoretical goodies? I could only thought of Orban's in Hungary, one untested Spanish one, those Polish ones that some NPCs around here calls Fascist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
