With all due respect, you're literally replying to a post saying that it'll always be "This war is different, this war is justified" by emphasising how this war is different and this war is justified.

But that's not what is happening.

What is happening is directly pointing out that this was is NOT different. That this war is ALSO unjustified.

In war, the aggressors are the problem. Period. And lending support to the aggressed is not the same as supporting war.

It would work, simply letting Russia finish a genocide against Ukraine or Israel finish a genocide against Palestine. The conflict would certainly be resolved that way. But if you think it is an acceptable outcome, you value peace too highly.

Oh, I agree. Personally I think the world has a duty to stop any country attempting to annex parts of any other country.

I was just tickled by that exchange.

Wasnt anything ticklish about the exchange, so kinda creepy that you were

The war in Ukraine is not justified. Supporting Ukraine's defense is.

Don't make the mistake of thinking the opponents of any particular military action are pacifists.

I agree?!

I'm honestly not sure what would make you think otherwise.

Hanlon's Razor, my dude.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity

I realised that I'm in the bad here - I missed the connection between the specific wars in the cartoon (i.e. that the US was/supports the aggressor). I thought it was just anti-war in general.

[-] Transcendant@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

That war can end when Russia stops invading another country. Ukraine defending its citizens and territory is right and proper.

Where are you from?
