Absolutely not true for many reasons. One of them being that if they let Russia keep what they occupied, it will give Russia time to regroup and keep going.

Number 2, they’re torturing and killing those who don’t support the Russian regime.

So yea, while “stopping the bloodshed” sounds good in theory (That’s why Trump keeps repeating it), it will only embolden Putin and give him time to strengthen his forces and attack again later. This is appeasement and it doesn’t work.

Yea, what a POS he is for pretty much admitting this. Not that we didn’t know this already.

Yea, that infuriated me.

Thank you for that. That’s what I suspected but I wanted to make sure

Can anyone explain what “spheres of terra” is?

Exactly. That was so obvious and pissed me off beyond belief.

Experiencing your native country at war changes your perspective on A LOT of things. It makes it easier to understand the wars of the past, and also, puts them in perspective…amongst many many other things. I will consider watching that documentary if there is no actual gore in it, because that’s not something I am willing to watch. My relatives are physically ok right now, but they’re angry and emotionally drained. It is scary seeing them talk about a recent nearby explosion and making sure everyone is ok.

But yea, it doesn’t matter who was “right” or “wrong” prior to war. As soon as you invade, everything prior to that gets overwritten and you’re 100% the bad guy, no matter how you justify it.

I’m Ukrainian who has lived in the US for almost 30 years. Only now, after Ukraine has bee invaded, did I realize what having that yellow ribbon in “support of our troops” meant. It doesn’t matter what kind of “altruistic” reasons you assign to it. Any time a country invades another, they are the bad guy because ANY war means the deaths of innocent people and should be avoided at all costs, no matter the reason.

Of course. In that case, I don’t see anything wrong with being curious about their cultural/ethnic background.

Neither would a black person who doesn’t have an accent. And white person is most likely not going to be asked “where are your ancestors from either”. But is it really so bad to be curious about a person’s ancestral background? Definitely tacky to have it be one of the first questions you ask though.

Or “what ethnicity are you”?

There are no entrance stations in Death Valley. There’s a fee, but they sorta “trust you” to have paid in advance.

Yea, people look at me like a deer in headlights when I tell them that.

I was about to comment the same thing.

It sounds really weird to me too!!!

I assume it has to do with the part that says that its place of origin is Great Britain.

Yea, me too. It’s an effective workaround but I believe you shouldn’t have to do it.

I mean, I kinda knew that there is a way to do it (I’ve looked it up already). I just feel like it’s way too complicated for such a simple tasks.

Actually I’ve noticed that it’s the no-pet Karens/Kevins who sound entitled and insufferable.
