It’s also framed in a misogynistic manner, even though both parties are men the whole reason it can be seen as insulting is by alluding to shame for subservient sexual actions traditionally used to reinforce gender roles.

Nothing wrong with oral, or with consensual subservience in bed, so therefore it must draw on historical shame to be insulting, just like using “gay” as an insult even though there’s nothing wrong with that either.

It’s more that as the World Hegemon, the US’ propaganda network is far more extensive and developed, and defunding USAID is exposing that side.

Almost certainly.

NATO encirclement implies encirclement. Why do you think Russia is going to war in the first place? I don’t trust everything Russia says, I think de-Nazification is a convenient narrative given the presence of Azov and other groups, but isn’t the driving factor of the war (though is part of it). NATO encirclement is a known tactic, as NATO has origins as an anti-Communist, pro-Imperialist group that was formed to attack the USSR, and had Nazis such as Adolf Heusinger in charge. This is readily available information, from Operation GLADIO to Heusinger’s Nazi past.

Why do you think Russia is going to war? What do they gain at the costs associated with the war?

What part of NATO encirclement is “ridiculous?” Even if I agreed with you that it is “ridiculous,” clearly Russia thinks it isn’t, which means the motives are still there for Russia to continue pursuing its goals until Ukraine gives in.

This feels more like you dodging having to grapple with that reality than anything else.

There’s also the factor of the Euromaidan coup, NATO encirclement of Russia, and the Ukranian shelling of Donetsk and Luhansk at play. Russia, more than anything, wants Ukraine to either be fully demillitarized or forced into NATO neutrality, and has the means to continue whether Ukraine wants it to or not. If Russia genuinely wanted to, it could keep going until Ukraine is just Russian territory, but I doubt that will end up being the case.

It isn’t a moral problem, but a question of who holds the cards. Ukraine can make its loss more devastating for both sides, but has no real path to victory. It is better to sue for peace before more damage is done and lives are lost, clearly Russia is fine to continue as long as it needs to in order to secure its interests.

Because Ukraine doesn’t really have much of a choice in the matter, the entire point of the war was to get to a point where that could be certified. If Ukraine refuses any peace deals, Russia will just continue the war.

To add on, it’s going to get a new domain and new name but the instance is going to stay the same.

Yep, it’s grim out here.

Liberals still seem to think the war can be ended if the US asks Russia politely to retreat and gain nothing.

Do you think Democrats and Leftists are the same group of people? Where are the Democrats here?

Good news. Hopefully the bloodshed can be ended as soon as possible.
