You seriously don't know why Russia is our enemy? We could start with they invaded one of our Allies very recently. How about they pretty much always oppose American interests? We've been political opponents for over 100 years. And of course there is the fact that Russia recently declared that the US is an enemy.

Can you please tell me how Russia is our enemy instead of calling me silly for not knowing? Ukraine is not our ally. I admire Russia patriotism.

I think you're missing the larger point...

Not far off, not at all

"Some worry about catastrophic but far off risks to humanity because of its potential for creating new bioweapons..."

Pope Francis becomes first pontiff to address a G7 summit, raising alarm about AI. The G7 responds

Francis will address G7 leaders at their gathering in southern Italy. His speech at the venue in southern Italy is a first for a pope.

I'm more worried about population collapse (behavioral sink/mouse utopia).

You can admire Russian patriotism all you want, that doesn't mean we're not enemies. Seriously you want me go over 100 years of history regarding why Russia is our enemy? I'm not trying to be insulting, but we've been pointing nuclear weapons at each other for the better part of the last century. Cuban missile crisis. Russia's relationship with Iran (maybe you don't think Iran is our enemy either?). Nato v USSR/Russia. Cold war. Russian involvement in Vietnam. Anywhere on the globe where America has enemies, you can count on Russia supporting them (and vice versa). Russia's support of the Bashar al-Assad regime. Russia's press secretary recently made our "enemy" status official. To flip this, can somebody please tell me how Russia isn't our enemy?

And how is Ukraine not our ally - we're sending them military and financial aid to fight a war, by definition that makes us allies.

Ukraine is such our ally that they're putting American journalists on basically hit lists, where Ukraine is accusing Americans of working with Russia, and it's a large list. Do you support Ukraine potentially targeting American journalists who are pro-American?:



"The list also includes dozens of sitting American politicians, like Senators J.D. Vance (R-OH), Rand Paul (R-KY), Ron Johnson (R-WI) and Josh Hawley (R-MO), Eric Schmitt (R-MO), as well as the former President Donald Trump, Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis, and Representatives Bob Good (R-VA), Jim Jordan (R-OH), and Jim Banks (R-IN)."

State Department-linked Ukrainian NGO Creates List of American Opponents of Ukraine Aid

The list features 'The American Conservative,' as well as many well-known American politicians and commentators.

So, do you support Ukraine targeting Americans who don't support their war?

Do I support Ukraine's right to call out Americans (or non-Americans) that don't support their war effort? 100% Do I support assassination of journalist and American politicians - absolutely not. Tim isn't always bad, but I call this an extreme stretching and distortion of reality. Are you as critical of Putin actually assassinating political opponents as you are of these baseless allegations?

I'm concerned with US taxpayer money and military effort being used against the American people.

I am concerned too, but I'm 99.99999% sure that the Ukraine isn't going assassinate talking heads and congresscritters for not supporting them. The last time the west let a tyrant try to reassemble his broken empire WW2 broke out. Appeasement doesn't work. OTOH, I do believe we can bleed Russia to the point where this war is no longer tenable; unfortunately, I don't think either of the idiots that will be in the WH come 2025 is the man to do it. Biden (or whoever does the actual negotiations on his behalf) totally blew the petrodollar negotiations completely out their arses. So I definitely don't trust the current administration to negotiate with Putin. OTOH, I think Trump will greenlight Russian against the Ukraine, which has all sorts of negative implications and at best will weaken if not destroy NATO. The petrodollar blunder is already costing us and will cost us for the foreseeable future, compounding that with the destruction of NATO will make the inflation we're seeing now look like a blip on the radar compared to what will happen when Europe is no longer motivated to keep backing the USD. A good 50 years of poor leadership has put us in a pretty crappy situation.

Except where none of this extra and increasing war happened under trump, so the deep state stole the election and started ww3 to maintain control over this nation and the overall west.
