    There are arguments to be made here that it was the wrong call to make, but the retort boils down to “russia can end the world” and its hard to argue against that.

    If the logic is “Russia can end the world” then we all might as well surrender to them now because Russia won’t stop, and apparently no one has the courage to actually fight back.

      Yeah, I wasn’t really sure how to respond to that which is why I tactfully glossed over it instead of saying something unhelpful (like “this is so dumb and wrong that I had to check Trump didn’t say it”).

      Russia being able to end the world is the reality in which these decisions are being made and yet Ukraine has not surrendered, their allies are removing the concessions to russian nuclear deterrence they already implemented and the world is re-arming in response to the invasion instead of kowtowing. Like it is trivially easy to show how this is a stupid, hysteronic take because it is proved wrong every second Ukraine continues to resist the invaders.

          Wait, were you claiming that was the solution you presented before? You… just have no idea what you’re talking about. That’s why you haven’t responded to any of the substantive points anyone has made, except with this baby-tier bait waggling. Good grief are you seriously so insecure you have to resort to this instead of admitting to yourself that you just don’t know enough about the topic to be considered an authority with a respectable position? Come on, have some self respect. When you’re downvoting replies in a days-old thread… You know nobody except us is going to see this, right? What’s the point of doing that except to take what petty victory you can, to cover for the fact you cant find success on the merits of your ideas alone? Please, reflect on your behavior.

              … Does it ever worry you that you have to turn once sincere conversations into sad attempts at trolling to save face?

                  I’m allergic to the sun :(

                  (like actually though, it’s really annoying to manage esp. at really high/low latitudes)
                  (ty for asking)
