The conversation involves a heated debate on the legitimacy of referendums in Russian-annexed regions and the implications of supporting military actions, with a focus on international law and diplomacy.
Here are the top political news stories for today.
Really? This is the hill they want to die on? Russia annexing provinces *THAT WANT TO BE PART OF RUSSIA*? They want to start WORLD WAR III, and drag the United States kicking and screaming along with them into that dark abyss of nuclear conflict that will wipe from the face of the earth the human race? How can a human being like Macron be so incomprehensibly STUPID?

I’m pretty sure I debunked every shred of that argument before, but I’ll just paste the past message of mine in response to the last time you claimed we had any proof that the regions wanted to leave:
“Ah yes, the sham referendums of the “Donetsk People’s Republic” (Captured), the “Luhansk People’s Republic” (Also captured), the Kherson Oblast, and the Zaporizhzhia Oblast (Both partially under Russian administrative control). The referendums were done with extremely bad methodology, with proven reports of Russian coercion on citizens, limit… Read more

Well, sending troops creates an obvious problem on the global stage, expanding the war far beyond a simply region of the East. It’s a disastrous idea even from a warmongering perspective. Also, you are aware that fascism is nearly always right wing, right? Benito Mussolini, Adolf Hitler, even Giovanni Genteli, they were all hilariously far-right.

The Hitler part is debatable, he only ever claimed to be a socialist to get the public on his side and to get into the party, though the common quote used to prove that he somehow was a socialist was said to Otto Strasser, who actually was a socialist with pro-union, profit-sharing, and Soviet style views. Hitler killed Otto’s brother Gregor, and then kicked Otto out for years, being a dissenter of the party that Hitler focused almost entirely upon nationalism and racism rather than anything even remotely leftist. Hitler himself didn’t care much about the economy, though his views… Read more

So did Mussolini, that doesn’t make Hitler far-left. Our nation has a mid-center part with socially left ideals, and since our country has a rather inward view, many Americans conflate big government with far-left, which just isn’t true. Hitler nationalized some industries and delegated their power to the previous owners of those companies, using them as his personal pawns rather than for any benefit to the public. He attacked unions, destroyed workers rights, ignored the class war, focused on nationalism and racism, made the state an almost spiritual institution in the eyes of his supporters, everything on his agenda points to far-right fascism, and his handling of the economy has almost nothing leftist about it.

On the contrary, the VAST majority of his supporters were far-right, drawing from the far-right across the world, and being an extremely close friend of people like Ford, Mussolini, and many more. When Hitler allied with Stalin temporarily, Stalin was viewed by his other socialist comrades as a traitor, and later led to him fighting mercilessly against Hitler in response to Hitler’s attempted genocide of the Russian people, where most of the death in WW2 was caused. His political views aligned with authoritarian right, though Americans commonly conflate authoritarianism with leftism bec… Read more
