I'm E type
Why exactly? I'm not here to attack you, just understand, and possibly change your mind if you're willing? I noticed from your previous posts that you speak Russian, so I'm assuming you are Russian correct? I'm more curious your perspective than anything, and what you've been hearing about the war. We can carry this to dms if you're more discussing there.
Yes I'm Russian I'm totally against war, but I afraid to speak loud, but I decided if will be mobilized, I would rather go to jail. But anyway Russia is my motherland, I love it, and I hate to hear what foreigners talk about it, making every single Russian guilty.
If your solution to this is “therefore all other nations should just sit by and let my nation take whatever land we want” then maybe labeling you as guilty isn’t so far off.
Your average American has more say over our government than people in Russia do. It took half a decade to build the anti Iraq war movement. It’ll be much harder in Russia than it was in the US. How can you be so quick to judgement when we failed to stop the violence of our state against hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis?
If people were bombing and killing each other in your backyard would you be more concerned with who your government was or how to stop the killing? Personally, I’m more concerned about the immediate well-being of myself and those around me than I am about which state has control over me.
I was hoping people would become more aware of this perspective with the Oppenheimer film in theaters. But, I suppose there is no escape from ideology. So the clock must ever tick forward.
NATO was created as a containment measure to stop communism from spreading from the Russian state. NATO still de facto contains the Russian economy today even though Russia is no longer communist. That’s probably why he’s type “e”.
That’s not to justify Putin’s disgusting and deplorable actions; but it is to put them in context. Why is Ukraine being put in the position where they have to choose between NATO and Russia? How can we end the conflict? How can we save the lives of the people who are being chewed up by the most powerful forces in our society?
You can't see there today there is no military solution?
