With all due respect, you're literally replying to a post saying that it'll always be "This war is different, this war is justified" by emphasising how this war is different and this war is justified.
But that's not what is happening.
What is happening is directly pointing out that this was is NOT different. That this war is ALSO unjustified.
In war, the aggressors are the problem. Period. And lending support to the aggressed is not the same as supporting war.
It would work, simply letting Russia finish a genocide against Ukraine or Israel finish a genocide against Palestine. The conflict would certainly be resolved that way. But if you think it is an acceptable outcome, you value peace too highly.
Oh, I agree. Personally I think the world has a duty to stop any country attempting to annex parts of any other country.
I was just tickled by that exchange.
Ah, ok, I see what's happened.
Ok, misunderstanding. I'm not American - I didn't see the connection with the US being the aggressor in the examples in the comic. I was just interpreting it as 'Anti-War'.
The rest of the exchange makes more sense now!
I was honestly baffled, it felt like I was having a different conversation than everyone else.
Wasnt anything ticklish about the exchange, so kinda creepy that you were
The war in Ukraine is not justified. Supporting Ukraine's defense is.
Don't make the mistake of thinking the opponents of any particular military action are pacifists.
I agree?!
I'm honestly not sure what would make you think otherwise.
The words you wrote, primarily
Hanlon's Razor, my dude.
I realised that I'm in the bad here - I missed the connection between the specific wars in the cartoon (i.e. that the US was/supports the aggressor). I thought it was just anti-war in general.
I should say what to Russia? I don't understand.
I agree that the world has a duty to stop any attempts a country might make to annex another country's territory.
That war can end when Russia stops invading another country. Ukraine defending its citizens and territory is right and proper.
Where are you from?
