It’s not a matter of explaining Marxism ffs. It’s that russia is attacking Ukraine. Countries want to join nato to protect themselves from exactly what russia is doing. Russia’s current actions are destabilizing and dangerous for the rest of the world. Other countries will always prioritize their own best interests; but in this case, many countries’ best interests are to support Ukraine against russia so as to weaken russia and teach them not to be aggressive. Russia needs to be forced to change course.

What you miss is that by supporting appeasement to russia, you are the one encouraging more war. Yes russia wants to keep expanding. Putin has said this directly.

NATO ‘expansion’ is when countries ask to join and then are admitted . Around russia, countries join nato for the defensive pact. If russia doesn’t want countries on their borders banding together to protect themselves from Russian aggression, then they shouldn’t have been so aggressive. Russia has absolutly no right to attack it’s neighbors just because they want to be able to defend themselves.

Yes, it sucks for the civilians on all sides when Russia attacks. The only solution is for russia to stop attacking - which they could do any day. But they’re a war mongering country, so will only stop when they run out of the ability to attack.

The long term efficient thing is to support Ukraine and continue to wear down and embarrass russia. If russia is allowed to expand based on violent expansionism, it will only be encouraged to do more - and that will cost Europe more in lives and resources in the long run. Of course, they don’t want to slap russia too hard, or it might have a tantrum and escalate. So the slow bleeding off of its capabilities is the goal. It really sucks for the Ukrainians, but they clearly would rather fight it, than become part of the shithole country that russia is.

All countries are the baddies from some perspective. Russia causing millions of deaths in a war of aggression puts it way up there. Europe will do what it needs to do to defend itself. And supporting Ukraine is the most efficient way to do that right now. As well as being the morally correct thing to do. Russians can go fuck themselves as their economy slowly implodes - they deserve it.

Russia is currently attacking a sovereign state, murdering civilians and abducting children. Defense against that is hardly warmongering. Europe did not push for it to be us/them, it was Russians who made themselves the morally corrupt ‘them’ by killing people in Europe.

NATO won’t attack, but putin is paranoid. I doubt he’d be able to ignore a buildup of NATO troops on his doorstep. And NATO needs to deploy hordes of drones and drone defenses as practice anyway.

Well, they do seem to be excused for that, it seems. Europe is buying Russian gas. Because they need to so their economy keeps going.

I don’t know about those thing. But I can see how he might lie about selling weapons. Canada always walks that tightrope - trying to advocate for peace, but having a significant military equipment industry. Right now Canada is in a very tough position economically with the U.S. shitting on it. It needs to do everything it can to improve international trade. But I don’t like it if he lied.

Carney, like most Canadians wants peace. Not the eradication of Palestinians, nor the eradication of Israelis. Canada can support a two party solution, and still support those ‘parties’ - that’s actually very consistent.

Yeah, but how do they keep track of who is the settler, and who is the native - hint: begins with ‘r’.

NATO/EU needs to start moving resources more into place. This will cause putin to have to move troops out of Ukraine to balance.

It’s the last thing Canada wanted to do, but trump has forced them to turn away from the U.S.

putin can go fuck himself.

Pretty much every thing putin says is a lie. He says he’ll fight to the last Ukrainian - this means he knows he has to concede.

Need to boycot Fox until they vocally support Ukraine. That will then sway Trump.

Too much.

Russians must be really stupid to believe that shit. Almost as stupid as Americans who believe Trump’s shit.

Water molecules are polar so they exhibit relatively good order, especially on a surface.

He may be trying to play good pm / bad premier. Trump is a petulant child - it might be a practical way to manipulate him.

Could it be the cozying up to Russia, and having a dick leader who has damaged healthcare, education, environmental protections, labor laws, and social welfare programs - so more people are trying to escape India?
