It’s some HL posters that probably wouldn’t bat an eye if we lived in a Putin style America so long as it fits their narrow worldview

I wonder how many Americans have this type of fight in them
cats would be getting shot down by a Russian and still arguing bout Trump vs Biden
General question, in all seriousness.
How does Putin get out of this without letting nukes fly?
He can't hold Ukraine. But anything less than complete victory makes him vulnerable at home.
His aggression has no endgame. This isn't Crimea. The West isn't going to sit down while he has his armies in Ukraine.
What is the option outside of nukes for a man like Putin?

I rarely come in here but these last few days, I see this is where I belong. Done arguing with idiots in TLR.
Every action does not have rationale behind it. Often times from spontaneity. And hence in this particular situation people are failing to see putins rationale (for himself and his countrymen).
And again this is magnified with the fact people were in here justifying putins “rationale” based off the US foreign policy history because that’s their gimmick. Before bombs started dropping that is, and all of a sudden the rationale explaining ceased.

Nuance and debating rationale, motivations etc are not the same thing. Ukranians themselves are doing this as we speak. World War 2 history is one of the biggest genres of historical nonfiction in the world.
People were not having intellectual debates about Hitler’s motivations in the middle of World War II while he was roasting millions of Jews for dinner. The time for intellectual debate is a luxury reserved for after the conflict is over. You think slaves and freedom fighters like John Brown and Harriet Tubman were thinking about the rationale of the Confederates? Hell nah.

I need to go and see what that thread looks like….We need to have a basic IQ test to get into Higher Learning.

Brehs.... He wasn't going invade Ukraine either. Suppose that man thinks history should stop with him?
This shyt is wild. But also, it’s HL 2022.
Unless another foreign power flagrantly helps Ukraine (which Putin has threatened they shouldn't), and most have been selling sanction wolf tickets, he is just going to grind them (Ukraine) down, he has the resources to do so. It seems like there main objective now is to take the capital.
I think for now the Russians might be tactical but if a guerilla war develops I could see them going heavy handed and just leveling city after city
at that point it really becomes who wants to be captain save a hoe and save Ukraine? is she worth it?
