Are you even reading the comments? Everyone that comes and is polite and respectful, I also treat politely and respectfully... or, more honestly, I've been trying...
I have been receiving lots of personal attacks, I think it has put me on the defense, and I have probably poorly.
You are also insulting and disrespectful. Anyway...
I appreciate you coming with fair enough opinions without personal attacks.
If Ukraine joined NATO, it might not have prevented this attack, and that's the huge issue. Putin has indicated that it would not have stopped the invasion, which you seem to be educated enough to understand that would probably start WW3.
It would have worked for Ukraine, and it's part of why I believe Putin pulled the trigger on this before Ukraine was in NATO.
I can believe that because I think Putin doesn't necessarily want to start WW3. But he has indicated that it wouldn't have stopped him as well.
I personally don't believe it's worth to risk WW3 over the conflict of Ukraine and Russia. The history and issues of Ukraine and Russia are long, complicated, and frankly, IMO, hardly any business of ours.
Comparing isn't "deflecting." The fact that you also compared how you also didn't support the US invasions to the Russia invasion kind of proves it was a fair and relevant comparison. YOU should consider calling some things "whataboutism"s is sometimes "deflecting".
First, thank you for your comment without personal attacks, I'm getting torn up over here, but its me that is getting reported and comments removed for "incivility."
Anyway, what you say is true, but I believe we need to be discerning with respect to our political influences and sources. I don't think it's necessarily wrong to consider the opinions of others (pop star or not), but it should not have the weight to sway our voting one way or the other
Lol. Oh, I have opposing opinions, so I am a contrarian asshole? So you would like to silence any contrary opinions and just live in a liberal echo chamber?
I'm not surprised... it's what people do here. Your views are so fragile that you can't handle an opposing view.
I'm doing yall a favor here, I'm trying to expose yall to the other side of the arguments. I want you to understand the scope of things. Don't hate on me brother.
Ok? The US has invaded more countries than I care to find a list of. These invasions were supported by a majority here and believed to be justified. We invaded countries on the opposite side of the world. Russia invaded their neighbors, basically their extended family, and we're supposed to get involved and support one side or the other? The only reason it's a big issue is because it's pushed my certain political and powerful people. I'm willing to bet 50% of the money "sent to Ukraine" just ends up in the pockets of politicians and leeches here.
Oh, you respect swift? She has earned your respect? Lol. This million pop star, who you haven't ever met, has earned your respect enough to convince you to vote a certain way?
You don't hear how utterly ridiculous that sounds? Please tell me you understand how ridiculous that sounds...
I'm really trying here... I feel it's a losing battle. I just want yall to use common sense...
Lol... you certainly didn't know where to begin or end. Next time, begin with reading comprehension. The egg example wasn't correlating inflation with the billions we sent to Ukraine. Money sent to Ukraine isnt directly affecting inflation. Rather, we have our own very important financial issue here in that states, sending billions abroad shouldn't be a priority over our financial issues here.
You should care if Ukraine wins, because...
Ok, maybe this guy knows something.
burying our head in the sand and carrying about only the US means we're left to feel the impact of global events were not engaging in.
I agree, and you get my upvote for a true statement.
But also, I'm not convinced there would be more "plight" in a Russia win. I believe the opposite, in fact. I believe there would be less "plight" and suffering.
There is very much "plight" in their protracted war over there.
Lol... this is the problem though. My "endorsement" doesn't matter much, and it shouldn't matter to you. I'm a random person on the internet, I hope my endorsement wouldn't sway your opinion. (Facts backed by sources and corroboration is what should should sway opinion, not pop stars and billionaires)
Sorry... I shouldn't be an ass...
