another symptom of empire is their citizens think theyre doing good around the world

another symptom of empire is collapsing infrastructure

another symptom of empire is late stage military folly
Another symptom of empire is rotation of power within a few families (see clintons, bush)

Yea i think alot of usa interventions were about supressing democracy under the guise of anti communism. and keeping russia weak too perhaps.

No russia invaded bc of nato expansion and also bc of putins ego it sounds like. how long did america invade iraq and afghanistan for? i think the saudis are :censored2:ing up yemen now, which is supported by america. israel invaded palestine.

Militaries will b more moral wen citizens demand it. If ppl constantly eat up propaganda and think militaries are a force for good, then the powerful countries will run wild.
You fail to mention that the Yemenis attacked Saudi Arabia with Iranian backing. You fail to mention that Israel retaliates against Palestinian attacks because the Palestinians refuse to live peacefully. And what the U.S. did in Iraq and Afghanistan has no bearing on what Russia is doing in Ukraine. And suppressing communist insurgencies isn't about suppressing democracy unless you can show us a communist democracy.

Israel is constantly attacked. Iranian backed Yemenis attacked Saudi Arabia and are paying for it. Huge difference between U.S. and Russia in the manner in which we invaded. We went after a rogue dictator. Putin tried to take over an entire country and make it part of Russia.

U have no right to preemptively invade a country

Its also a war crime foo
You've repeatedly said Russia is in Ukraine because of the U.S. and NATO encroaching on Russia's borders. As if that gives them the right. NATO doesn't need Ukraine to be close enough to install missiles. They could easily shoot them from Eastern Europe or the Baltic States. So why hasn't Russia attacked those countries instead of Ukraine? Because they're in NATO. Russia wouldn't dare. That's why they all joined NATO. Ukraine is suffering because they aren't in NATO.

Ive also repeatedly said their invasioj was a war crime. maybe thats why i work at a hospital and u worked at fedex

Russia will nuke those countries if provoked enough. ukraine is suffering bc usa views it as collateral in its goal to maintain control over china. ukraine tried to join nato, and is a defacto member. It needs to negotiate w russia now to end wat could b a prolonged or nuclear war and break from its western masters. otherwise it will end up like afghanistan!

Your quite right nato has weapons pointed at russia in poland!

Unfortunately Western "leaders" keep telling him not to negotiate. I hope he breaks his chains and tells Washington to :censored2: off, but I'm not holding my breath.
Heard the us govt wants this war to drag on forever to weaken russia, ukrainians b damned

Doesn't sound to me like Zelensky and Arestovych are some sort of lapdogs of the west who would want to stop the war if they'd just "break their chains".

PS- Kissinger is a :censored2:. Always has been. Always will be.

Ukraine Slams Idea of Swapping Land for Peace - WSJ

"Mr. Kissinger, speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, had said that “ideally, the dividing line should return to the status quo ante,” suggesting that Ukraine should allow Russia to retain the Crimean Peninsula, which it annexed in 2014, and swaths of the eastern Donbas region seized by Moscow-backed separatists the same year.

Mr. Zelensky described Mr. Kissinger’s suggestions as on par with attempts to appease the Nazis in the run-up to World War II.

“I get the sense that instead of the year 2022, Mr. Kissinger has 1938 on his calendar,” he said in a video address Wednesday night. “And that he thought he was addressing an audience not in Davos, but in erstwhile Munich.”

In an expletive-filled tirade broadcast on his YouTube channel on Wednesday, Ukrainian presidential adviser Oleksiy Arestovych called those who say Kyiv should relinquish land “crazy.”

“Get lost with suggestions of this sort, that Ukraine should trade some of its territory,” Mr. Arestovych said. “Children are dying here, soldiers are stopping shrapnel with their own bodies, and they’re telling us to sacrifice territory. It will never happen.”

Im not getting bombed or joining nato

Ukraine is

However our governments actually feel about Ukraine, I'm glad we're helping to give the Ukrainians every opportunity to kill a :censored2:load of Russian invaders. Dictator daddy Putin and anyone who supports him "because NATO!" can shove it up their asses.

Your quite right nato has weapons pointed at russia in poland!
Ukraine isn't a defacto member of NATO. Your assertions are ludicrous. If NATO has weapons pointed at Russia in Poland then why doesn't Russia invade Poland? You can't seem to grasp that all those countries joined NATO because of past Russian aggression against them. Now Russia doesn't attack them because NATO is a much bigger opponent than those countries by themselves.

Ukraine has hundreds of nato advisers or watever in there and weapons was the other thing i believe. Ive posted it here b4, so if ur pneuny vermin mind forgot thats ur problem.

russia
will nuke them if provoked. america might also nuke russia. it will b game over 4 the species at this point.

Nato expanded since warsaw collapsed bc of weapons profits and other nefarious reasons. the american govt knew it was bad policy. and here we are w another nuclear crisis
