    Ain’t sabers rattling a precursor to war? Russia’s been at it a couple of years already, I wonder why you’re only hearing them now.

      Russia is not at war with NATO, NATO is not a country, NATO’s demands of 2% spending on military does nothing to de-escalate the situation, NATO membership for ukraine was used as a partial justification for the russian invasion, and it has been clarified that ukraine was never getting in

      NATO is a front established to counter communism by the rabid imperialist american empire, if the united states had an interest in sheathing their sabres NATO would be dismantled

      the united states has at this point agreed to send more money to ukraine than was sent during the marshall plan (marshal was later given a nobel peace prize for his work combatting communism rebuilding democracy)

      have fun dying in a trench when you get called up, be a good lad and run along now, your spilled blood will line the pockets of american arms executives

        Firstly, absolutely nobody in this comment chain said Russia was at war with NATO.

        Second, it’s Russia that started invading independent foreign countries in this recent conflict, of course Russia’s neighbours and their allies aren’t going to reduce their spending, they don’t want to risk being invaded or threatened.

        Third, it is true that they haven’t really tried to deescalate the situation, but I don’t see how they could unless Russia accepts to entirely leave all of Ukraine’s territory, which Russia is unwilling to do. There can be no compromise here, anything else would make Russia the imperialist state…

        And just stop with the personal attacks, they only end up making your arguments less credible

        Tankie is big mads. I’m not worried at all. I just can’t possibly imagine living you life around all these trumpeters and incel tankies. Like is it just you all repeating acKtually at each other all day?
