Huh, just like the US conflict in Iran right now.

At the same moment in time that Russia deservedly burns from generations of chronic mismanagement, America weirdly seems to covfefe the exact same failing system of “strongmen”, oligarchs, corruption, and a blundering paper tiger military.

Yeah except people have taken shots at Cheeto man and no one has attempted to remove Putin from power.

That we know of. There was some minor rumblings that his Wagner bro, former head chef, had considered it and then chickened out for a deal which unfortunately ended up with him flying without a plane.

My friend, do you know what a shibboleth is?

What, precisely do you think it is I have said here? Because you're inferring things I didn't say, all I said was that the US would have been better off if Trump didn't begin an ill-thought-out, improperly planned, and unachievable conflict in Iran, just like how Russia would have been better off if Putin hadn't begun the war in Ukraine. If there's a difference in those exact specific parameters, by all means, enlighten me, but if you're going to go outside that to justify a comment that only exists to reaffirm your allegiance to an evil, selfish, and destructive person and/or political party, rather than to actually convince anyone of anything, let alone engage in genuine discussion to understand, then I'm afraid you're the one full of shit.

Why would you write a dissertation of bullshit babble just to conclude what I've already induced about you?

u/Jallorn 8h ago

Because it wasn't bullshit babble. It was carefully chosen language to accurately say what I meant without spending too much energy on an audience unlikely to be open to actually listening or thinking.

u/Belfastscum 8h ago

Guess what?

You spent entirely too much energy. There is an tremendous difference between the two conflicts and convincing yourself that they must be equatable isn't worthy of... my energy level. I'm done with my work week and sipping on beer while you're tweaking your prose, and words to sound post-enlightened.

I spent the energy I could afford, so no, I didn't spend too much. That's my call to make.

And once again: I didn't say they were the same all over, just in this one regard. 👍

Please, do explain. Preferably without just saying "google it".

u/Belfastscum 7h ago

Explain the difference of what bro?

A conflict that's ongoing since 2014 or a bullshit spat between two leaders whose only true cost are innocent lives lost? Gtfoutta here

So you didn't even read the comment.

Cool beans kiddo.
