This is what I mean by "ending capitalism is the only meaningful climate action"
In the 18 months since the full scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, about 150 million ton of co2 were released. Greens are radically silent though.
- Is this that "whataboutism" liberals keep telling me about?
  
  Yes
- I agree that Ukraine's allies tanking immediate peace talks was criminal
- Because Russia is the aggressor and has literally billions of dollars of sanctions leveraged against them.
  
  Exactly, thay have practically all the west condemning them. Not what i'd call "radically silent".
  
  Being the aggressor is when you get called in on the defensive side of a civil war that started when neo nazis began an ethnic cleansing.
- What's the difference between a full scale and a half scale invasion?
  
  An H0 scale invasion is 1:87 of a full scale invasion whereas the diminutive Z scale invasion is only 1:220 the size of a full scale invasion. Most model invasion enthusiasts prefer the H0 scale.
- I've always had an anti-war stance, which is why my take was always "get NATO the fuck out of there and let those two figure it out"
  They've been doing nothing but sabotaging peace talks and trying to get people back to fighting. They're war profiteers. They need to go.
- That was my first thought. Seems this op is politically motivated with a strong bias
  
  So any article about Israel/Palestine has to also mention the Ukraine War in comparison, or else it's "politically motivated with a strong bias"? A strong bias relative to what? What would non-politically motivated even look like in the context of politics? Does every article about the Ukraine War have to talk about the Isreal Palestine war too?
