You're the one saying we shouldn't take any actions unless they are morally blameless.
I'll be the first to say the US should end its wars. What I don't understand how not using the Dems to get rid of Trump improves the situation.
Nah that's not what I was saying at all. It's just a hamfisted straw man you're using. What I was actually saying is that not only would've USSR defeated the nazis on their own, what the west accomplished was a net negative for the world. Had US not gotten itself involved, then Europe would've almost certainly have become communist. There wouldn't have been wars in Vietnam and Korea, Afghanistan, and many other horrors the empire continues to enact, and we wouldn't be living in capitalist hell in the west today.
Sorry. I thought we were dealing with getting stuff done now.
I didn't realize you wanted to talk about alternate history.
My mistake.
No, we are not dealing with alternative history. We are dealing with the history of what the west proceeded to do after the war ended. If you're going to talk about how many people died then you have to include all the people that the west brutally massacred during the Cold War and continues to massacre today. Because your claim is that the world order that arose out of US participating in the war was a net positive. Let me know if you need me to use smaller words to help you understand this.
That's not relevant to getting things done now.
The actual history is that Stalin wanted help form the US and took it. Anything else is alternate history.
If you want to talk about getting power away from Trump, I'm interested. Otherwise, have a nice night.
Once again, you made a claim that the less people died because the US participated in the war. And I simply pointed out that the world order that formed from that resulted in far greater human suffering. Nobody is talking about any alternative histories here. We are talking about the actual history of western depravities that followed in the wake of WW2. Let me know if that's still unclear to you.
What the west is currently doing in the world today is actually very much relevant to getting things done now.
Let me put it this way. Why don't you lay out your detailed plan to change things. An actual plan including names of candidates who could win elections in America in 2026.
Because if you don't have something like that, all your doing is playing imaginary games.
My actual plan is to sit back and to watch your country tear itself apart so that the rest of the world can finally breathe. If Americans actually wanted to change things for the better they'd be joining orgs like PSL and building a mass worker movement the way people of Bolivia did with MAS. Instead, you're still bleating about elections within your oligarch owned system.
That ignores the fact that America has the biggest military on the planet. Any sing aircraft carrier or nuclear submarine could devastate the planet.
If you think that America will fade away quietly you've been ignoring everything that's happened in history.
You've yet to say anything relevant, just spewed a lot of alternate history fantasies.
Go out and touch the grass, please
The USSR also had a massive military that could go head to head with the US. The military isn't going to do shit for you when your country turns on itself. The US is deeply polarized politically at this point, and it's only a matter of time before there's civil unrest. The Americans have a serious protagonist syndrome where they think that things that happened to every other empire will not happen to them.
You’ve yet to say anything relevant, just spewed a lot of nonsense without any substance.
Go out and touch the grass, please
You are so hilarious!
The USSR? You mean the country that fell apart after a series of missteps that made it the laughing stock of the world?
I suppose I should read the rest of what you wrote, but once I saw you referring to the land imploded itself I couldn't go on. Maybe I'll save it for when I need a good laugh.
🤡
Thanks. I was kinda wondering what you looked like.
All you yanks know how to do is project. Good luck living in your fascist shithole. 🤣
So, how many Americans do you communicate with? Dozens? Hundreds? Thousands? Every day? Every couple of hours? Every few minutes?
It would be tragic if it weren't so funny.
I don't need to communicate with you chuds every day to see what you do collectively. It would be funny if it wasn't so tragic. Your country is a blight upon the human race.
Check your dictionary. What you are doing right now is 'communicating.'
I expect you to respond, because you want to keep up the 'communication.'
I see the bot has a context limit problem 🤣
Says the guy who has sent five messages this morning.
Denial and projection.
thanks for further confirming that parsing short sentences is beyond your cognitive capacity
Is that six or seven messages you’ve sent today, while still not being able to understand the sentence you're replying to?
What I actually said was that I don't need to communicate with you clown much to know what you do collectively. I said absolutely nothing regarding how much I communicate with y'all.
I knew the education in Yankeestand was bad, but wow this is embarrassing beyond belief. Reading comprehension below grade school level on display here.
