Leftists: This war is spilling unnecessary human blood for gas and oil

Libs: This war is spilling unnecessary human blood for gas and oil

We don't have to pay the medical costs for all the Ukrainians who get shot or blown up!

Absolute ghouls

So among themselves, libs will admit to this being a proxy war? Cause when they argue with us they act like that is a wild accusation.

This is great for everyone! You know, except the Ukrainians getting torn in half by shells,

man what the actual fuck is the deal with those guys

"Maybe Ukrainians shouldn't keep dying in this war when the west has no intention of accepting them into NATO"

"This proxy war is a great return on investment because we don't have to care for any of the Ukrainian veterans. Got a blown off leg? Slava Ukraini and get back in the front line, patriot!"

Anyway, something about Soviets and Russians throwing waves of soldiers and elderly people to get slaughtered to win an inch or something

"Long-term most of the funding actually goes to the VA"

Oh, you think the war is bad? Well, let me load up my actuarial tables to prove how this war turns a profit!

"Formerly your biggest advesary"

Like yeah if you spend decades scaring yourself with ghost stories I guess the result seems impressive for spending over a hundred billion dollars. This is like the bear patrol episode of the simpsons.

"They also have the ability to sever Europe's need for Russian energy"

How's that working out so far?

The VA comment is . Omg literally just mask off "it's not our boys dying"

if you think about it, the more deadly a war is, the better, since it leaves fewer useless eaters behind!

They defederated with us pre-emptively because they knew we had the posting tenacity to possibly shake up their reddit-brain circle jerk

It's fascinating to see these people come to something of an understanding, albeit superficial, of some of the most obvious realist motives and calculations behind the US's essential involvement in Ukraine as if they were stumbling onto a revelation, which should have been not only obvious before it even began (the US's foreign policy in this regard hasn't changed in 30 years) but should have made obvious how incomparably dangerous the US is, only for them to then say: "actually this is smart and good, I love paying top $$$ to impoverish Slavs and Chinese people".

We'll fight to the last Ukrainian child

Human lives are just capital to them.

Actually sickening.

I mean whatever way you slice it, that's evil shit. Right?

Yes, ladies and gentlemen and enbies of the war crimes tribunal, these posts right here.

It never stops being hilarious watching all these suburban masturbators roleplay as either oil excecs or the command staff of the pentagon

100% these minivan driving dipshits have suffered a financial loss from inflation and they still talk like they have a career stake in the warmaking of the state

To say nothing of the psychopathic disregard of the lives of millions of Ukrainians

Liberals are so fucking ghoulish and evil

it is actually bad to kill russians on account of them being people. Supporting ukraine just to kill russians is in fact not good

I can already tell the second comment is an America worshipper from somewhere in Europe salivating at being a slave to the US. He would probably let the US nuke his own home and cry that they didn't obliterate everything.

I always picture these types of people to be like that X-men character, toad. A sniveling little gremlin that looks up at its master with sad, pleading eyes with hope that it too will be seen as an equal. Only for the US to kick them off a helicopter when they're no longer useful.

Children's understanding of globalised economies.

Proxy war? Smh it's all about VPN wars these days.

LW is for stereotypical redditors who are more reddit than reddit.

Copy paste State Dept talking points. I swear I've seen this same exchange over and over on

The whole "yeah, but..." damned the torpedoes Cold War Tom Clancy fever dream shit that brings nothing good for anyone but Cold War fanatc's bruised egos that mainland Russia hasn't balkanized for their stink tank vulture's masters.

"A bunch of disaffected abandoned right wing soldiers we trained and funded and who hate us almost as much as the enemy we pointed them at has never caused us any issues down the line"

Pretty sure the least costly way to cripple your foe while hardly lifting a finger is to grab your popcorn and watch as they try to occupy The Graveyard of Empires for 20 years.

I've basically ignored Lemmy. I've spent a grand total of less than ~4 minutes here. Over time I just came to ~4 threads, I sorted by "top", and I felt like I was at Reddit so I immediately left. Today was no exception...

If Ukraine does not win, WW3 is the inevitable outcome in the next 10 years.

That place is just another Reddit.

Also: Russian interference Russian interference Russian interference Russia is paying everyone

It never stops being cool seeing comrades from other instances coming to our little dunk tank.

Are you believing the morning papers?

War is coming back in style

There's generals here, advisers there

And the Russians nibbling everywhere

The chessboard's filling up with red

We make more profits when we blow off their heads

.

Economy is looking bad

Let's start another war (when ya get drafted)

Fan the fires of racist hatred

We want total war (when ya get drafted)

.

Drooling fingers, panic buttons

Playing with missiles like they're toys

There's easy money, easy jobs

Especially when you build the bombs

That blow big cities off the map

Just guess who profits when we build 'em back up

When Ya Get Drafted, Dead Kennedys

The Afghans gave us a much better deal. Operation cyclone never broke a billion.

I mean yeah they are correct but why are they phrasing it as a good thing
