Summary
President Biden recently authorized Ukraine to use longer-range U.S. missiles to strike inside Russia, marking a small but overdue escalation in the conflict.
This decision aims to disrupt Russia’s military operations and bolster Ukraine’s position, especially with the potential Trump administration favoring pro-Russian policies.
Russia’s retaliatory missile strike on Ukraine, though deadly, represents more of the same tactics.
Analysts argue Biden’s earlier caution was excessive, and calling Russia’s nuclear bluffs is strategically necessary to counter further extortion.
Triggering WWIII with other nuclear powers is the right thing to do?
It gets easier by the day to manufacture consent
And enabling authoritarian regimes to do what they want is the right thing to do? Fuck you.

Supposing all of that were true, it wouldn’t matter.
Defending Ukraine against unprovoked foreign aggression would still be the right thing to do. Because a free Ukraine can eventually have a better government. An occupied Ukraine cannot.
Unprovoked? Looks like you don’t know half of what’s going on
Unprovoked? The Nazi puppet government was slaughtering ethnic Russians in east Ukraine for years prior to the invasion, while allowing NATO to deploy droves of troops and missile deployments at the Russian border.
Ah, sorry, my mistake.
I took you for someone who was at least attempting to argue in good faith.
I’m not gonna stick to the western narrative, if that’s what you mean.
That’s fine
If you could stick to reality at least, though
I don’t know what to tell you. Those things happened. It’s just not flattering for the US, so it’s not mentioned much in the news.

Is there any actual proof of this genocide that you can point me to?
Asking for real.
You do not hold elections during a war if your constitution says so. Many countries do it this way. Russia can hold as many elections as it wants because those are not real elections.

“Slaughtering ethnic Russians” cool you just made that shit up.
“NATO moving missiles to the border” dumbass they aren’t IN NATO how the fuck would they have NATO missile emplacements. Also, even if they had, you know how a fucking border works right? It is THEIR territory they can put as many fucking missiles on their side all they want
So your knowledge of Ukraine and The Donboss started, what, 2 years ago?

Oh, it’s the edgelord who is fighting an imaginary battle on the internet. How’s that been going for ya, champ?
It doesn’t matter whether it’s true or false, it’s enough that Russians are also saying it.
You consistently have the most brain dead takes on Lemmy, bravo
Because I won’t contribute to your echo chamber?
TIL triggering ww3 is when you don’t allow one nation to invade and conquer another.
I guess we should just stab Ukraine in the back then, right? I mean, screw those people, who cares, right? Is that what you’re saying?
The US has been screwing them using Ukrainians as human shields to fight their proxy war.
How exactly does that answer what I said? What should we do? Abandon Ukraine, and let Russia take it over? Do not proselytize please. Examine the situation and come up with a course of action.
