No, the point is that the situation was a bit more complicated than “Russia is a disease that cannot be reasoned with” within living memory. Sure at this point we’re cheerfully careening towards ww3 with all diplomacy out the window (with Russia as a primary driver). But it didn’t use to be like that
Reality is more complicated than the strawman you were putting into someone else’s mouth? Ya don’t say… I mean that’s sort of the point of a strawman like the one you were making.
But also, I’ve not seen any serious analysis backing the idea we’re currently on a path to WW3. Such a situation is unlikely to be produced by the Ukrainian conflict alone.
To back that claim you’re going to have to rely on theoretical escalations outside that conflict… And that’s not what “careening towards” means.
If a car is careening towards something, it doesn’t mean - it would be happening if it means it is happening BECAUSE…
Comparing an entire country to a disease, stay classy reddit
idk how else to respond lol. Did not expect to see defenses of the bush administration’s foreign policy on lemmy
Truth is you had no point. And it was easily shown with 1 sentence.
