Barbarism or environmentalism? The most important question in the Russia-Ukraine conflict

[Antiwar]

Can the USG stoke a hotter war and avoid the undetermined but likely deadly serious consequences of a hotter planet Earth? It's possible. But it's painfully obvious that the USG's priority is to invest in (using federal taxpayer funds and increasing the national debt) and work on increasing their global domination through military might rather than investing in and working on trying to save humanity from the consequences of industrialism further degrading and destroying Earth's damaged ecosystems. This highly emotionalized conflict has shown that the two governments that together have 90% of the human world's nuclear arsenal are stuck in the past and are threatening everyone's futures environmentally and with nuclear insanity. We're in the midst of a deadly global storm and the US and Russian governments are thumping their chests which are weighed down with nuclear suicide vests.

The US and Russian governments are like two gigantic cavemen with nuclear clubs and 'conventional' military might that are powered by massive amounts of fossil fuel burning that's quite possibly going to lead to a different meaning for the phrase 'scorched-Earth policy.'


Cold War + militarism => massive amounts of fossil fuels burned + the threat of nuclear insanity => hotter planet Earth => more misery, and it could result in humanity's demise.

USG foreign policy => scorched-Earth policy

Russian government foreign policy => scorched-Earth policy


Which is bigger? USG militarism is obviously MUCH bigger than Russian militarism. And they have the gall to call it "defense."

So you want the West to lay down and get enslaved because of... climate change?

Kinda bizarre that your reaction to a blatant act of ACTUAL militarism.....is to complain about the US.

Is anyone (^^^ that's not a trolling, one-dimensional, low-quality commenter ^^^) interested in the environment still, or are all of your neural pathways preoccupied with the popular war?

If Ukraine surrenders to the militarist invasion of their country like you want them to, how will that help the environment?

Oops, I forgot to include binary illogic straw man slinging.

Yet you engaged in binary illogic straw man when you think people can’t care about the militarist invasion of Ukraine and climate change at the same time.

Well, I guess I'll have to settle for dismantling this weak comment.

The West is going to be enslaved? Say what?

Do you support the West maintaining militaries for defense against hostile militarist foreign powers like Russia?
