It feels like you’re treating the US as a force of nature here, rather than like a nation who is acting in this way because it’s convenient and in their interests
like the US could just like go “hey, please do peace talks, a lot of people are dying”, but they’re not doing that
and if the US really is that more powerful than Russia as you say, then they could rather easily start facilitating the above but once again they are not doing that
this isn’t a fucking action movie, people are literally being killed and our military presence will make that so much worse; this isn’t the time for us to boost our egos
like I’m not actually communist in any meaningful sense, but they have a point about how brainwashed us Americans are pertaining the military and foreign interventions
like again, it’s not an action movie; we’re not fucking heroes in a Saturday morning cartoon; we’re a country sending human beings to kill other human beings for almost certainly selfish reasons
War’s not a fucking game, and the US isn’t “the savior of the world” either; it’s a country that has interests and does things to obtain or sustain those interests, and some of those things include invading other countries (like we did with Vietnam and Korea and Laos and especially the Middle East) and subverting the governments of other countries ( pick a South American country )
like if you can’t understand that nations mainly work in their own interests and that the US has a very old pattern of invading and subverting other countries for that interest as opposed to the countries’ own interests for itself, then you basically won’t actually be able to understand any kind of foreign policy, especially that of the US’s
it’s just baffling that you can genuinely think that the US is a hero in any military situation, after what we’ve done for decades

Also, we are not a force of nature.
We are the storm.
what an embarrassing comment

This isn’t a movie.
This is Manchuria circa 1935.
We are saving lives, many, many lives, like I’m sure the Chinese would have wished we’d done back then.
We are buying peace at the cost of Russian dead, because that is the only price that can be paid for it.
