@loloutplays5232 I'm sure many Ukrainians that have been barred from leaving their country and forced to fight against Russia would have said the same.

@nagillim7915 NATO is most certainly not "solely a military mutual defence alliance." Ask Russia, Libya, and Serbia. And not only is not just defensive. It's also the military arm of the woke cultural agenda, which is a big part of what motivates NATO to act as much more than just a defensive alliance.

@Nikblaster1980 Even if Libya wasn't a "full NATO campaign," whatever that means, NATO flew tens of thousands of sorties over Libya. Whatever NATO was doing there it most certainly wasn't "solely" in the role of "a military mutual defence alliance." NATO's involvement in Libya was certainly not about defending NATO countries. Likewise, the fact that the air war NATO conducted against Serbia was UN-sanctioned doesn't change the facts I noted. And no matter where the blame lies in Ukraine, that doesn't in any way change the facts that NATO is heavily involved in a war between Ukraine and Russia, neither of which countries are members of NATO. That obviously means NATO's role in Ukraine is not "solely" that of "a military mutual defence alliance."

@Nikblaster1980 "...completely irrelevant to the legitimacy of..." Did I say anything about the legitimacy of anything? No, I didn't. Why do you feel the need to repeatedly deflect from the simple fact that NATO isn't "solely a military mutual defence alliance"?

@crowe6961 In any case, everything I said about NATO is entirely true.

As Solzhenitsyn said, "More than half a century ago, while I was still a child, I recall hearing a number of older people offer the following explanation for the great disasters that had befallen Russia: 'Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.' "Since then I have spent well-nigh 50 years working on the history of our Revolution; in the process I have read hundreds of books, collected hundreds of personal testimonies, and have already contributed eight volumes of my own toward the effort of clearing away the rubble left by that upheaval. But if I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous Revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat: 'Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.'"

@Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg Europe is not a real continent. If you're going to divide Eurasia geographically, why use the Urals instead of the Himalayas? The Urals don't even form a national border and historically often haven't either.

But it's only the cultural West that has embraced the West's sexual perversions, not other rich countries like Japan and South Korea.

I'm curious, if I can ask a random Pole this question, why you think Poland and Hungary have taken notably different stances with regards to the Russo-Ukrainian war? Poland, at least as far as I can discern from American media, seems to be the most hawkish country in Europe, and Hungary seems to be among the least hawkish.

@Nik29austria Including Russia? Do you think Russian resistance to getting woke will be any more effective than eastern European?

As someone who has settled in and identifies with the American South, I can especially sympathize with the peoples of central/eastern Europe that have historically been dominated by surrounding empires. I guess it's also not a coincidence that the American South likewise has embraced woke ideology less than other parts of the US, although unlike Europe where the most woke countries are the most Protestant, the American South is the most Protestant part of the US and also less woke.

If a country as old school as Russia can foster the communist revolution, why not?
