  • “I understand why terrorists attack the West.”

    Having been in a long-time resident of a region of brown people that the West sees as subhuman, I don’t condone terrorist actions, but I sure do understand why some of them do it. Some people just see an action, read or hear the words, without context and judge a person based on that, but they forget that humans are the sum of their experiences.
    Just like a small-town bumpkin in Australia might hate brown people for how they brought up, a refugee hating the West might’ve lived in constant fear of being bombed by a drone, seen the consequences thereof, and been pointed at a generic Westerner as the source of evil.

    People that I’ve talked to who have lived outside of Western countries understand what I mean, but many Westerners think I’m saying terrorism is justifiable or even good.
















  • Russia needs to be able to produce enough weapons to wage war

    Of course, but if Ukraine loses before Russia crumbles, it won’t matter to Ukraine. No one knows how long it will take for Russia to crumble nor if it ever will. China, Iran, North Korea, and Turkey are all supporting it.

    Erdogan recently said Russia should return Crimea, but is he willing to sanction Russia? Russia is running out of Yuan, but will China truly stop trading with Russia or will they just accept debt? It’s a very complicated situation and if the West doesn’t allow Ukraine to strike Russia with long range missiles nor provide enough weapons and ammunition to drive Russia back, Russia’s economic woes don’t matter. They don’t matter if Russia wins the war.

    Also Russia and Ukraine can both be defeated in the same peace deal

    What kind of peace deal are you talking about?
