    Not sure I follow your question, but the point was only to demonstrate Russia's isolation. It's amazing that neither China nor any other other member voted "no" on condemning the act. And it's just so darkly strange that the Harknonen-looking Russian rep had to preside over the whole thing.

    @glynch please join us in this century. Even Bernie condemned Russia here. It's basically Trumpists who are still on Team R
    So you want them to lose?

    How many will die in the next imperial/fascist war of annexation in Taiwan or North Korea if they get steamrolled. There's lots of bad unintended consequences regardless - you have no more certainty of them than anyone else

    It's ok to be both against war and want the aggressors to not win a war.

    No, we would be pioneers in all the versions of the events. We’re just not needy cause no one came to help us before we had any oil.

    They’re robbing you and you’re attacking me. Dude, stop falling for this, it doesn’t matter.

    I’m just not familiar with the overall functionality and significance of this (ie ignorant). What would happen if Russia didn’t veto it?

    It's political theater.

    Not much, as I understand it. Just global statement of posturing, but now everyone knows that nobody really has Russia's back (except some weirdos in the US).

    And to all the left wingers saying Trump supporters are rooting on Russia, just stop. Grow the f*** up and stop making this political. Nobody with a soul want to see innocent innocent people slaughtered. It's just classless how some of you are acting

    Well, yeah. It is also ok to be more concerned about innocent civilians and even soldiers than geopolitical ¨winners* or simplistic ideas of not rewarding the aggressors by making a needless war more deadly

    It’s like in your mind you think if they don’t fight the war doesn’t happen and they get to continue to exist how they choose to

    This is definitely ok. But you know if people in Ukraine don't want to be invaded, killed and occupied by a Russian gangster - that deserves some consideration!

    I'll need some confirmation on this one. It sounds like propaganda. Most of the info we are getting right now is equivalent to in accuracy to NBA trade rumors.

    If Mathloom and glynch lived in the 1930's, they'd have advocated for everyone to lay down their weapons and not fight Hitler, because peace and you know, everyone can just deal with it and will survive a few generations under fascism.
