And its cousin "yes, but your browser doesn't have the right DRM software embedded in it, go fuck yourself"

Amusingly, even the russian government corrected him on that too - to paraphrase, "we have lots of requests to interview Putin, he just doesn't want to do it"

Worst. Coup d'etat. Ever.

That still doesn't prove the claim "America was always fascist"

Partially because being copied by the Nazis doesn't intrinsically mean you're fascist (they copied a hell of a lot of things, including but not limited to fascism)

And partially because that doesn't cover the "always" part at all

Well yeah, there was a deal on nuclear disarmament until Trump tore it up. Not surprising they're not interested in going through all that again just so he can back out of it for a second time as soon as he wants to look tough.

But this isn't an M rated game, it's a transformative new technology with potentially horrifying consequences to misuse

The issue, from what I can tell, is that the question you've asked here doesn't match the argument you just had in comments of a post about about the Ukraine war. The argument you were trying to make is not "war bad", but specifically that Ukraine's counteroffensive is bad. You were additionally arguing that it is morally reprehensible for other countries to provide economic support to Ukraine rather than leaving them to "defend themselves".

There's a few important details that such an argument (intentionally) ignores.

• This invasion was not a choice between war or no war. It was simply a decision between locations that battles take place. It is entirely legitimate for Ukraine to pursue a counteroffensive strategy into russian territory if it believes it to be a more effective military strategy than defensive attritional warfare within their own borders.
• The fact that combat is taking place in Russian territory doesn't change the fact that the war itself is a defensive war against an aggressor with overtly territorial/imperialist goals.
• As far as I am aware, the units involved in the counteroffensive are exclusively non-drafted volunteer units.
• Cessation of funding to Ukraine would lead to their imminent loss. The fact that they have been able to innovate cheaper strategies like domestic drone usage doesn't change the fact that war is extremely expensive and technology dependent, and their economy is dwarfed by that of Russia's.

The combination of your proposals that Ukraine should not proactively fight back, and that they should lose access to the resources that would allow them to continue to defend their territory end us meaning that Ukraine would not be able to effectively defend itself.

From reading your comments alongside this post, it seems that the title should actually be "how do you make someone understand that rolling over and dying is good", to which the answer is "oh fuck off mate"

It's crazy that this isn't even the first comment I've seen this week arguing that the Ukraine war is somehow a conspiracy by the West to sell more weapons, as if Russia didn't just roll up and invade them, illegally and unprovoked

Two important persons from US history, a deity and a little penguin

It's just a shitpost, not a declaration that Trump was some great American historical figure, chill

I mean not providing a service because you stopped paying the cost you agreed to for the service is quite different from forcibly destroying random people's data if they don't give you as much money as you demand

It's not like they remotely connect to your pc and wipe your hard drive if you don't pay up

Tell me you didn't even read the summary without telling me

The move created swift backlash from Zionists and Israeli leaders, who criticized Ben & Jerry’s and accused the company of being antisemitic

The state of Israel is behaving like Nazis, not "Jews".

And nothing - especially not other people acting like fascists - legitimates supporting a man who systematically executed millions on the basis of religion and ethnicity.

It's nice that this exists these days, but my god is it horrendously unreadable at a glance

Actually, the Finns already spend 2.4% of their GDP on defense, making them one of the highest defense spenders in Europe (relative to GDP). And they're famously very well prepared for wartime scenarios.

Turns out sharing a border with Russia makes military spending look very appealing.

I mean it's done quite a lot to diplomatically isolate them, right? Putin couldn't go to South Africa for BRICS, he couldn't attend the G20 summit this week, and presumably lots of other trips he hasn't done that he would have otherwise intended to

In Israel's case, I expect this will be a pain for Netanyahu more than it has been for Putin, since the set of countries that are neither ICC signatories nor actively hostile to Israel is a pretty short list

It's difficult to quantify, but I think there is a compelling argument to be made - just off of my head, WW2 led to:

• the fall of German autocracy/restoration of German democracy (though Hitler did kinda break that one in the first place)
• Italian and Japanese democracy
• redistribution of wealth/power in Britain
• the 4th french republic
• alignment of the European democracies
• establishment of the UN

My last job had not one, but two programming languages they had created in house over the last couple of decades.

One of them was the primary development language for the whole corporation.
