Proxy wars are not declared wars. There is a difference. Like millions of dead difference.

Ok. Let’s talk about that. 2 million over 15 years. 2 million died in 6 months on the eastern front in ww2. 30 million died in the Taiping rebellion 100 years earlier.

So war is not measured by casualties. Got it. 58,000 americans died over ten years.

Have you seen the numbers or are you throwing an opinion out there?

Yes. Extremely low casualty rate compared to ww2.

When did the United states and the Soviet union fight?

Check the numbers. Those are vastly tiny compared to ww1 and ww2. Small policing actions are necessary to keep dictators in line.

There wouldn’t be a ww2 without Europe. Their faulty treaties and failure to stop dictators led to the conflict. America cleaned it up.

What? You’re welcome for all that world peace and prosperity since ww2. It is about time Europe started to share this burden.

Principles are still the same.

The act is political speech nowhere near violence and must be protected. Same with flag burning.

I didn’t name call and demean. You did.

I gave my opinion. You discarded it without evidence or educated opinion. Name calling shows defeat.

The fundamentals of Islam have caused the world a tremendous amount of pain and blood just like the fundamentals of Christianity.

I’m sure you are unfamiliar wIth the ALCU but I will defend the right of nazis to March. I will not defend them when they enact policies like prison camps. That’s my position.

Your position is that you are super sensitive and do not respect freedom of speech. Different opinions make countries stronger. And if you are going to be hyper sensitive, you better be able to fight. That said, Islamic countries haven’t won a war since the middle ages.

Maybe by allowing diversity of opinions and not being so sensitive, you might win a war eventually.

If a group of people collectively is outraged enough to kill over a certain value system, they should be mocked, ridiculed, and ostracized for that belief. In the united states we have radicals that will kill over abortion. They are mocked and ridiculed. If Muslims get offended, they should be mocked and ridiculed for being soft.

Burning a book is not a “lesser crime.” It is speech. If you are offended, how about you put your big boy pants on and act like a man and get over it.

Im against hate speech but it should not be criminalized. Violent speech can be. “This person should be killed” then a overt act made towards violence should be criminal.

But if Muslims get so upset about a book buring and kill, then Muslims are in the wrong and need to realize this is the real world and people don’t bow down to babies that cry about offense.

It is more offensive to kill someone rather than destroying a book. Any group of people that kills over offense is a danger to their society and the world.

No agenda. Free speech absolutist. Criticism of a topic no matter how offensive must be allowed.

Being offended is not a justification for killing nor is it hate speech.

Already there.

If you hit someone, dont be surprised when they hit back. Russia can always go home. They are escalating every day they stay. Ukraine needs to be more armed then maybe russia gets the message.
