There are many here who are entangled in the interventionist foreign policy model, During the Cold War the United States was quite cautious in is foreign policy towards the Soviet Union, Since the collapse of the USSR a lot of people here seem to be hydrophobic politically wishing to attack or be aggressive to all and sundry. Much of this is from Barca Lounger warriors who have seen too many dubious films about WW2 in Europe and how glorious and exciting it all was and seek to be fulfilled with some sort of contemporary replacement crusade, It is ard to be other than disgusted with people who are so shallow and fatuous that they seek inner fulfillment from the deaths of others and general destruction that can be done under the cover of moral self righteousness. These people are profoundly unserious and morally corrupt. They have no idea about the reality of the consequences of the things they loudly and with offensive belligerent ignorance shoot their mouths off about. In this sense they are evil people and should be confronted. I have aeen the reality of what such corrupt passions cheer for. I seriously doubt a single individual here who cheers on ever deeper US participation in the Ukraine fracas has ever heard a shot fired in anger or faced danger in their empty lives. That is why others facing these things excites them so much.
Well said, 103 & 105.
I’ve been thinking similar things lately, but couldn’t bring myself to write it as elegantly.
