Nice fantasy.

@Druvius How is that fantasy? He could literally pull his troops out today and the war would be over.

@ChestRockfield That's about as likely as the US giving back California to Mexico. But yes, that appears to be Washington's plan.

@Druvius I didn't say anything was likely. I'm simply saying the one who could most quickly and easily end the war ought be most to blame for its continuance.

@ChestRockfield But do you have a point, or are you just engaged in wishful thinking?

@Druvius You were the one whining about the war being prolonged. I was just pointing out that Putin, you know, that guy whose ass you're kissing, is the one ultimately responsible for how long the war is waged.
Honestly, I don't even know if I care. Maybe I'll get lucky and it'll result in a thousand nukes being launched that ends the plague that is humanity.

@ChestRockfield I think prolonging wars is a terrible thing to do, it's not whining, it's pointing out an uncomfortable fact for Biden's war supporters. Got it, you, like most Americans don't give a sheet about the carnage overseas our foreign policy causes. Raytheon makes a profit so all good with you. And you may get your wish, Washington seems determined to provoke wars with both Russia and China.

@Druvius I don't give a shit about Raytheon making a profit. I don't give a shit about any company making a profit. And I don't want any countries to be at war, at all, at any time, it wastes money and makes rich assholes richer. That said, if a country does wage war, the answer for me is not "let that country conquer you to avoid war". That's just plain stupid. I hate biting my tongue, but I'm not going to pull out all my teeth to make sure it never happens again.
