"He who saves his country does not violate any law"

When Bush was underwater they just invaded Iraq and boom, polling shot back up.

Just wait for the crisis as per Milton Friedman's guidance.

The GOP has gone full blown metastasis across this country.

Stage 4 terminal for America, it's looking like.

As so easily predicted, immediate deflections away from the most clear-cut logical and ethical choices anyone could possibly make. Trump thanks you for your service, you good little accelerationist, you ;)

Edit: not sure why you deleted that. Also, I read that book. And Blowback. And A People's History. Ever read The Shock Doctrine?

If you're Canadian then don't "Y'all" have elections coming up and shouldn't you be focusing on preventing far-right extremists from taking over there instead of nitpicking in comment sections here?

and online “reaction” are never representing on the ground situation.

Unironically saying this as online reaction such as this, absent of any evidence or being on the ground themselves.

Fleeing from conscription is common across all wars, no matter how just. Russia has massive problems with people fleeing. Anyways, that's not really what the article was discussing.

It actually is pretty black-and-white in terms of who is fighting a just war, and who is fighting a war more akin to Hitler's invasion of Poland.

Pre-2014 borders, correct?

And what reputable source do you have to suggest that "almost half" of all arms that the US sent lined the "pockets of the leader class"?

I'm pretty sure they were attacking people over their stupidity in falsely equating Harris to Trump and the comparative damage they'd have for not just the genocide in Gaza, but also Russia's genocide in Ukraine. Anyone who felt they were the same deserves many "🤣" for their performative BoTh SiDeS grandstanding.

Hmm.. No Iran? No China? No Russia? No Saudi Arabia?

How convenient. Almost like Putin picked these to fracture western alliances or something...

I've already planned with my wider family that for the next 4 years we aren't doing jack shit for holidays. No black friday (tbh we never did anyway), no cyber Monday. No gifts for Christmas.

This American was rooting for you, too.

Ah much small government, telling others what to do and intruding on one's conversation with their doctor.

Such individual freedom!
