Yeah, people hurt themselves to own the people they disagree with....but I am pretty sure we are supposed to be omnivores...I don't think carnivore works for us. #NotAnExpert
Is "Beetlejuice handy" a sex now‽ I can't keep up!
BREAKING NEWS!......
It wasn't relevant. The topic was not about USSR justifications for threatening US soil.
Seems kinda obvious...
Probably not helping them? You mean against a trump US joining the Russians. The dude really wants us on the evil side of WW3.
Also with modern power projection....we don't have to be on your border....
False premise. "A military pact against".
While it looks that way because Russia is a military invader and overall aggressor, NATO is a defensive pact. If the US decided to attack someone to be a dick, it doesn't draw NATO in automatically....but if someone attacked a NATO member obligations trigger and everyone dogpiles the foolish attacker. Yes Russia was the boogieman use to get people to join, but it was not "against" Russia exclusively, it was against aggressors.
I get the cuban missile crisis parallel too. But this would be more like Russia and Mexico doing a "we will protect you if the US actually attacks" agreement and the US would just be annoyed with Russian bases that close and halt trade with Mexico as whiney punishment or some such. However, the US doesn't seem to want to conquer Mexico, so it doesn't parallel well to reality. Cuba was "let's put offensive capabilities next to you during a war (cold....but it was a war)" that is self defense and very different.
No matter what, there will be hostile borders around the world and deterrence is all we can do to keep it quiet. Ukraine war would have never happened if it was in NATO, and the US woulda just let Russia sleep despite the strategic advantage of having Ukraine right there. The US has plenty of other horrible shit it does, we don't conquer with military might.
I also know the story about how Putin tried to play nice with the world and got shit on and not let into the club fully, and this is part of him acting out for that. There is some very small legitimacy, or at least a logic to that claim....but you just don't take countries anymore, especially if it makes you a threat to the EU.
It would be neat if they got a number of votes based on their population...
"powerful" death sentence.
Pfft if he is so untrustworthy, can you even name and cite, with links, 3487 times he lied to the public? Checkmate Libs!

I have too many other things to worry about, to make myself hate meat. That said, I understand there is terrible shit happening in that industry, most militant vegans I have crossed paths with are wearing an apple watch and Nikes...so, I can't take them seriously. We all pick our battles. In the end, work harder on making fake meat great. Get on it vegans, fund the research and go to school for it! If I can get my animal proteins and whatever else from a burger thqt I can't tell came from a lab, I will never buy farmed meat again, just like that, overnight. If you sit in front of a dairy isle with pictures of sad cows, I am going reach past you, get my milk, and forget you exist in 2 isles. A lot of people are not actively against your cause, we just don't care either way. Be more effective.
