As time passes on; I get happier that I know the existence of FOSS social media (and the fediverse).

    Yes because there has never been an invasion of a sovereign country in this century. Certainly not in Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen or Iraq.

      Half of those (Libya and Yemen) were as much an intervention in the outbreak of a civil war as anything else. Afghanistan… the Taliban was harboring terrorists who had just delivered a devastating strike on US civilians. Forgive me if I dismiss that one. I agree on Iraq. Sometimes I compare Bush to Trump and think “maybe Bush wasn’t so bad”, but then I remember the Iraq war. Bush lied, people died.

      But this war was not necessary and the area was stable before Putin barged in. That’s the difference.

        Your comment would make sense if u.s. propaganda represented reality, but it doesnt. The 9/11 terrorists were all from saudi arabia, but that country was never attacked. And Ukraine was not stable, it waged a war and genocide on its own population in Donbass since 2014.

        Oh yes, comparing similar things is insert buzzword here.
