This take doesn't make sense. Doesn't the NBA make money from ad revenue, and don't teams as well? If the teams stop making ad revenue because ratings are low, there will be major problems.

I'm not obligated to agree with any echo chamber. I share things I think are noteworthy, and sometimes will engage in conversations with people about them.
But freakouts like yours and the others here are why I typically don't engage politically with lemmitors anymore.
Very fair take! Respect.
How do you want this to go?
In my dream world I'd like to see Ukraine absolutely destroy Russia and take it over. I don't think that's gonna happen though.
I mean, we’re 3 years into the full scale invasion of Ukraine and you seem to be ignorant of a major conflict and genocide on a basic level
I tried following it at first but I kept seeing tons of conflicting information and it ended up being too much. One day Ukraine has almost won the war, the next day Russia. At the end I was like "why am I even following this war halfway across the world that's only marginally related to America" lol
You make good points here. Is there any particular reason you think option 2 is better than option 3? The way I see it, with option 3 the war is over more quickly, Russia is (most likely) defeated and we can finally move on to other orders of business.
The war was winnable and Ukraine had upper had until this change, it was projected that Russia would run off resources this year.
What projection is this? I hear from both sides that the other side is on the verge of losing for years now.
HAHAHA I see it now
I think it's more insane because as a president with access to literal military personnel, he probably has the most access to the most information about the war, and I feel like there's no way you can reasonably spin what's transpired into being Ukraine's fault.
Yep, I think most agree with this. But just giving the invaders all the territory they stole is literally guaranteeing more war and aggression in the future! If Russia knows they can just invade another sovereign nation and wait it out to be rewarded, why the fuck wouldn’t they? They 100% will do this again to other countries and the horror will continue.
This is the best argument in favor of the war, and the one that was sold to me at first. But after how long the war has gone on, it doesn't seem to me like Putin would even live long enough to capture all the land he allegedly wants to, and even if he did, that he would use that land to attack larger nations or the US.
Defending yourself is just and fair.
But we are not Ukraine. Ukraine should keep fighting if they want to, but it's not our war. We only benefit marginally from the war's existence, it is not particularly in America's best interest to participate in it.
Yeah, and that's too bad. We need to stop funding all these wars.
Fair enough
