Why the fuck would they? Why would anyone count on the US to do anything other than incubate new pandemics?

Lol @ the handwringing libs who think this isn't the foundations of the privileged world they live in

I get it though, I grew up in the US after 9/11 so of course I was propagandized to hell and back like every other kid. The number of times i heard adults just flat out advocate for a nuclear holocaust of the middle east.. When you're so young, and so used to being given logical-sounding reasons to cheer for the imperial boot, it's shocking to see people who actually ARE fighting for their freedoms, and doubly shocking when you see that they don't comport to our conditioned, pampered habit of pretending to be morally better than their opponents. They don't need to pretend like we need to, because their opponents are the people doing genocide and not some poor dirt farmers. But lest you think I don't have a consistent stance on this, let me break it down:

-Death sucks

-It's bad when families are killed

-it's good when nazis are killed, because then they can no longer kill families

-Ergo it's fine to celebrate and depict fascist death, in the same way you would depict a firetruck hosing down a flaming building; both are depictions of the saving of life.

I'm not making an account on your instance to read and reply to anything, so know that before anyone starts going all Winston Churchill at the upsetting prospect of dead fascists.

not a fighting force

Genuine question, I know tone is hard to read online but I promise I'm not trying to be snarky: do you know the role that special forces in general and green berets in particular play in US proxy wars? They don't fight, they raise and train local militias how to do insurgency and kill political enemies. Anytime green berets are in a country next door to an enemy of the US empire, it's because they're training the next ARVN, Taliban or Azov Battalion.

Okay, I told the Russian Federation to leave and they said no. Now what?

That wouldn't end the war, that would result in the continued wholesale slaughter of eastern Ukranians by their own government, the thing that Russia jumped in to stop in the first place. Please stop thinking about geopolitics in childish terms of maniacs and minions, life is not a Marvel movie.

Isn't it interesting that the official US gov line on Gaza, a sealed off prison zone currently experiencing a second Holocaust that the zionist entity has no intention of stopping, is that "Hamas could end this any time"

But the nazi coup government of Ukraine, which doesn't even have public support and which has rejected every peace offering for years and have broken multiple treaties because they just couldn't stop slaughtering their own people in the east...they are the smol beans with nowhere to go.

You have internalized a perfectly backwards propagandistic framing of the situation: It is the Kyiv regime that can end this tomorrow by simply accepting that the people of the Donbas region do not want to be ruled by them. Russia has no interest in western Ukraine, no interest in ruling a bunch of people who hate them, they want a buffer zone so they don't have a warmongering authoritarian power's nukes on their borderamerikkka. I mean shit, we've been bombing their nuclear detection radar stations lately. If that's not the action of a deranged empire playing with the lives of the entire world, nothing is. Can you fucking imagine what the reaction would be if they were doing that to us? We would have scoured the planet of life by now.

Russia is the bad guys in this war!

If I was still a child who believed in good guys and bad guys, I would just present these pictures with no comment. Instead, I'm presenting them with a "lol".

It is literally a peace deal and you're not answering because you know being honest about what you feel should be done here would reveal you to be the Internet Douglas Haig we all know you are.
