Well that's all very lofty, but where's it been? Why now? Tyranny exists all around the world, as do war crimes, including efforts at genocide. Should we go to war with Myanmar? Saudi Arabia?? Chad??? Central African Republic???? Do you think it's time to attack China? Really?? Why are all those lives any different than Ukrainian lives? What are we willing to give for them? Do you really expect the USA to unilaterally engage Russia or China? To what end?These are trying times to be sure, more is a stake in the Ukraine than the fate of that nation. What is a stake is what has been at stake since the free people of this world decided the human beings have rights both inalienable and unbridgeable. That free people have the rights of a government of their own choosing, and to only be ruled by the consent of the governed.
I think JFK said it best when he said," Freedom is indivisible, and when one man is enslaved, all are not free."
If you believe that, if you take it to heart, then we can not allow aggressive nations that give not freedom to their own people's to roll their tanks over their neighbors.
But what are we willing to give?
Are we willing to give it all, to risk the fate of the entire world in a conflict that could result in nuclear annihilation?
Maybe I'm just a simple man, with simple ways, but I have always known that you have got to stand up to a bully. I think it is time to take Putin and China to task for their endless and reckless threats, they only make these reckless threats because they know the free world will be measured in our responses. They know we value all life, that we love this world and all it's peoples', but you can still love a thing and be willing to risk it to stand up for what is right.
To me, we can not allow the forces of tyranny to reign over man, that I would be willing to risk it all to stand up to a bully, even a nuclear armed one. Does that mean I would be reckless? No, but you have to stand up to these threats with tough speech, to let them know that you are willing to give the last full measure of devotion for human freedoms anywhere human dwell.
I think our response to these threats needs to be unequivocal, that we are willing to risk all to save few. Such speech maybe only stands to escalate, but that would only prove that Putin and China are run by madmen, and it's time to make them put up or shut up.

I have given a certain amount of dollars to the UNHCRThese are trying times to be sure, more is a stake in the Ukraine than the fate of that nation.

Poll question is gibberish. Might wanna fix that.These are trying times to be sure, more is a stake in the Ukraine than the fate of that nation.

I personally think there are some interim actions before WW3, if we're interested in them. The escalation could look like:Russia's (and Belarus) economy is being crippled by sanctions imposed by a multi-national coalition.
Corporations have temporarily halted business with these nations.
Russia's banking assets have been frozen. The ruble, already shaky, is now worthless.
The majority of the world has condemned the invasion of Ukraine.
President Biden has condemned Putin as a war criminal. The US Senate joined him in doing so. Unanimously.
What are you asking here - whether we should engage Russia militarily at this point?
?? Define "pure evil".Yes, because the state as an institution is pure evil.
?? Define "pure evil".
No. Your thinking demonstrates a dismal lack of imagination.
Just to give perspective on this incredible murder by government, if all these bodies were laid head to toe, with the average height being 5', then they would circle the earth ten times. Also, this democide murdered 6 times more people than died in combat in all the foreign and internal wars of the century.
No, because an alarmingly large portion of the population is predisposed to involuntary attraction to authoritarianism.Yes, because the state as an institution is pure evil.
We're predatory by our nature.
These are trying times to be sure, more is a stake in the Ukraine than the fate of that nation. What is a stake is what has been at stake since the free people of this world decided the human beings have rights both inalienable and unbridgeable. That free people have the rights of a government of their own choosing, and to only be ruled by the consent of the governed.
Why is that even worth remembering? Obviously if one person is enslaved all are not free. Because one is enslaved.I think JFK said it best when he said," Freedom is indivisible, and when one man is enslaved, all are not free."
It was a silly quote of meaningless meaninglessness...If you believe that, if you take it to heart,
Like we did in Iraq for a years and years? Vietnam? Afghanistan? Korea? But it is OK when America does it... right?then we can not allow aggressive nations that give not freedom to their own people's to roll their tanks over their neighbors.
I responded to this post. That might be enough.But what are we willing to give?
Nope. And thankfully other sane people with that power agree with me.Are we willing to give it all, to risk the fate of the entire world in a conflict that could result in nuclear annihilation?
Maybe I'm just a simple man, with simple ways,
Beautiful... simply beautiful.but I have always known that you have got to stand up to a bully. I think it is time to take Putin and China to task for their endless and reckless threats, they only make these reckless threats because they know the free world will be measured in our responses. They know we value all life, that we love this world and all it's peoples', but you can still love a thing and be willing to risk it to stand up for what is right.
Damn poetic, really.To me, we can not allow the forces of tyranny to reign over man, that I would be willing to risk it all to stand up to a bully, even a nuclear armed one. Does that mean I would be reckless? No, but you have to stand up to these threats with tough speech, to let them know that you are willing to give the last full measure of devotion for human freedoms anywhere human dwell.
Uhhhh... what? You can risk yourself mate...I think our response to these threats needs to be unequivocal, that we are willing to risk all to save few.
Such speech maybe only stands to escalate, but that would only prove that Putin and China are run by madmen, and it's time to make them put up or shut up.

How does the destruction of life on the planet serve the civilians in Ukraine? I'll answer that one. It doesn't.
What time do you ship out?These are trying times to be sure, more is a stake in the Ukraine than the fate of that nation.

Yes, because the state as an institution is pure evil.
Yeah, because bands of raving lunatics would be so much better.
That's what states are.
If that's true, then the worst thing to do would be to give a small group of predatory humans political power over everybody else. Or do you believe politicians and bureaucrats are morally superior to the rest of us?
Honest question here.
Do you really think a country can exist and thrive without a government?
Let's take the UK as an example as it's quite small and is isolated as an island. Do you think the people of the UK would be better off without a government?
