There is no evidence to suggest that NATO could push Russia out of Ukraine in conventional warfare. The Russians and their allies are WAY better prepared for that war, and it would immediately turn into the third world war, not remain “NATO vs Russia”.

Takes like yours are equally dangerous as the brainless “Ukraine is actually winning the war” ones, even though you appear slightly more neutral and informed.

The actual situation is way more complex still than you claim. You take this weird stance where the Russian heads of state are evil, Ukrainian/US/NATO heads of state are not, Russian soldiers might or might not be, and Ukrainian soldiers are not.

In reality, the invasion phase of the war is justified from the Russian point of view, so their heads of state and soldiers are in the right. Same goes for western heads of state and soldiers. Me and you both live in the west and therefore have our own perspective on the war. People in BRICS states have their own perspective (that I’m quite familiar with due to having actually spent the effort on reading, unlike 99% of western commentators on this war).

Besides, don’t feel bad for Russian soldiers for being victims of the circumstances. Ukraine has been snatching people off the streets against their will for the past months and dropping them on the frontlines. This is happening in the majority Russian speaking cities and towns, not majority Ukrainian ones.

None of the corporations I’ve been part of have been doing “abhorrent” things. You’re projecting your socialist ideology.

That is beyond terrible. Are you joking? I feel sad that I spent a minute reading that.

True. If he is culpable for other people dealing drugs on his platform, then so is Meta and Mark Zuckerberg for allowing WhatsApp to facilitate drug trades.

Nah, that treatment is reserved for Telegram. Zuck does MMA and isn't Russian so he's cool.

He does block certain tags 'by accident'.

How old are you?

Not him but because your answer surprised me I chose to reply: at 34 it is also something I always wondered.

Becoming obese always seemed a little extreme to me and I fail to imagine how someone could reach that state without the accordingly extreme food-related habits - though maybe I'm just lucky to have the "right" metabolism and thus cannot relate.

Though even if obesity was always linked to eating disorders, I understand that "just stop" is not an appropriate response to that issue.

It's influenced by a range of factors beyond eating habits

Only in the sense that a ball dropping to the ground when you release it is influenced by a range of factors beyond gravity.

I’m in my late twenties or early thirties.

I have a good enough reason to call those people “woke” instead of calling them “people who believe in a cultural approach that seeks to identify and rectify invisible social inequalities based on genetic attributes like race, sex, and sexual orientation by challenging existing power structures and implementing corrective measures. “

It’s easier.

Writing in laws that allow you to selectively take out whoever is convenient at any time is lawmaking 101.

Of course lawfare is the tool of the democrats, and not republicans, like you seem to believe.

It’s of course always possible that you are the blind one. Maybe one day you’ll grow out of it.

Worth noting that the exact same applies for environment friendliness, sustainability, pride month, etc.
