My rules? I asked a question, one you still haven't answered. You're conflating exploring other perspectives as condoning Russia's conduct. That is reductive in the extreme, and honestly rather immature. Also, comparing the current conflict in Ukraine to WW2 is utterly silly.
You sure make some odd comparisons at times. Are you arguing that we should still be in Afghanistan? Or that we should have just bugged out on w whim on some random date, giving the local government no prior notice?
Yes your rules. You are the one who brought it up, it’s what you keep talking about, and you keep knocking me for not giving you an answer. You support “the other perspective” of putting a monetary limit on doing the right thing. I don’t. Not real complicated.
You can say whatever you want to make yourself feel better about being willing to turn your back on the people of Ukraine if/when we hit some imaginary number. If me being a critic of that position makes me immature… so be it. I don’t think I ever claimed that was you condoning Russias conduct though. Maybe a guilty conscience?
No, what’s utterly silly is putting a monetary value on doing the right thing and then acting like it’s a respectable position to take. Well we could save those innocent people over there. But it sure is expensive. So F it just let them die. Yea… not my cup of tea
I’m saying giving the enemy crucial information, like a hard cut off when supplies and support would stop, is dumb.
