As an employee of a neutral newspaper Washington Post, I would just like to loudly say that WE ARE PROFITING FROM THIS WAR, THAT IS WHY THIS WAR IS GOOD.

That argument works just as well for justification of American colonialism and the destruction of Indigenous Americans. Congratulations, that is one amazing take. I’m not even mad, That level of take is amazing. I’m impressed
I don't know how you take an argument that basically says "a stalemate that just feeds people into the grinder and does not achieve any military objective, means that this war needs to come to an end" and claim that means I'm justifying colonialism and indigenous genocide.
On multiple levels,
On a short-timeline view (which is exactly what we have now in this conflict) that “stalemate that just feeds people into the grinder that doesn’t achieve a military objective*” is exactly what we had at multiple points during the colonial period. Wars like Father Le Loutre's War also spilled over to non combatant citizens just like Russia’s Soldiers have targeted. For that matter, that’s been true of just about any period where one nation invaded another to claim them. The only real difference now is we have gotten exceptionally effective at killing people so the totals are far higher.
Crack a fucking history book. Justification of aggression and invasion against a sovereign nation is a new low.
*- keeping an invading force from progressing is an objective, just ask the North Vietnamese. But you probably think they should have surrendered too based on your logic.
Simply stunning
I can't believe everyone isn't recognizing the sacredness of these administrative borders from a country that no longer exists. Won't somebody think of the sovereignty? These borders were very convenient for the richest people in the west and they deserve every advantage in their efforts to rob the people of Russia.
lmao liberals coming up with nonsensical equivalences that make no historical sense whatsoever is a classic example of their intuition based ignorance
You do understand Crimeans aren't ethnic Ukrainians and the people of Donbass are Russian speakers, like you do understand that basic fuckin fact about the conflict right?
Do you even know how Donbass became part of the Ukraine, obviously you don't but maybe you should ask yourself these questions before you run naked in front of us swinging your miseduction and ignorance like a mace
The way you type is repellent. For your sake I hope you aren't as smug irl.
When you can't decide which smug redditism you want to use, so you go with all of them.
