This seems to be the sad realpolitik truth. It explains how some of the aid has been given.

Enough to keep grinding down the Kremlin's war machine, not enough to actually take the Kremlin out of the fight.

In a more utilitarian analysis, this might be the best for the greatest number of people. From an empathetic human perspective... it's pretty fucking dark to see young Ukrainian men dying for this. Still better than living under the Kremlin's boot.

People just hate Musk and want to see him become irrelevant.

Another lemmy.ml troll...

What are you basing that on? Most propaganda is essentially truthful, that's why it's so insidious.

Great point, thanks for the respectful engagement.

I'm sure that's helpful. It's interesting to think that while the Kremlin's disinformation campaigns do trick a lot of people, they also end up educating a lot of people.

Fair enough, well said.

Probably better not to waste your time "debating" them, their goal is only to spread misinformation, and they won't argue in good faith.

Better to just tag them as "shill," downvote, and move on.

If they win in Ukraine it will bolster their military strength, war chest, and public support in Russia.

Then they'll attack their next victims when they've had time to prepare.

An actual corporate fascist Kremlin shill?

No doubt that many in Hamas want to undermine US military support for Israel, and young Americans protesting is one of the most likely ways that could happen. Their leaders are working with the Iranian government, which is coordinates with the Kremlin.

Fair enough, I think I agree anyway, but the idea of an unbiased test that filters out ignorant people is appealing.

Frankly, democracy in it's current form is struggling, so it seems like we need to make some serious adjustments.

Way to spin it when called out for your lying.

Israel wouldn't "accidentally" hit a US aid convoy, they know that would jeopardize military aid. The current gov might be genocidal assholes but they're not that stupid.

Hamas wouldn't just blindly kill Americans, they're also not blindly stupid and they know they'd quickly lose support from younger Americans. Plus that would piss off the Kremlin and they'd get an earful from Iran.

As much as I despise lemmy.ml, you passed the ocular patdown. Have an upvote

This isn't middle school

making that happen is almost certain to lead to abuse and very unlikely to produce the desired result.

Lead to abuse agreed, but why do you think it's very unlikely to produce the desired result?

Exactly my first thought.

Good. This will make it harder for Kremlin propaganda to use this as a way to attack Biden and get their asset into the White House again.

Such black and white thinking is very rarely accurate.
