Russian invasion of Ukraine

[Mihalik]

I mean in the end starting a war usually only makes sense for a nation if the economic outcome will be a guaranteed net positive. Hence the sanctions by the west. But still, I'm in my late 20's and served in the Austrian army, and all logic aside, I'm really afraid I'll be proven wrong since the current rhetoric suggests a certain amount of willingness by the west to take military actions.

Very very few wars throughout modern history have yielded a net positive economically, with the exception of colonial ventures where the power disparity was such that one power could realistically defeat another with minimal or no loss of life or wealth. It might make a few people wealthy or wealthier, or achieve some type of abstract political goal, but almost nobody ever comes out of a war having made money off of it.

The US after the two world wars is a massive historical anomaly and it messed with how the US relates to militarism for generations.

War is remotely not as a rational act as you would think it is.

Weren't you just in another thread talking about how peaceful the world is today? Then got upset and said I was cherry picking when I pointed out the 1700 were more peaceful?

That was this thread actually.

i doubt they're bots because a whole lot of people are expressing rage and skepticism for biden on putin (which is where that cited cut even came from), on topic. Man is about to invade Ukraine and Biden has only surmised he "might" invade and something something sanctions. Nothing about US war or military intervention.

I'm already prepared to fight in the event of war against Russia-China. Every man should be with conscription in mind hypothetically. Then again, that's an "if" since again we would just launch nukes before ground warfare again.

Also, the Ukraine president himself is angered by Biden's strange responses dancing around the Russian invasion topic

It's almost as if further escalation is what noone needs.

You want to kill innocent people. Stop trying to pretend you are any better than someone like putin

what do you mean? If Putin takes over Ukraine and kills thousands, he'll do more after feeling empowered. China will annex Taiwan as well. Are we just going to sit back and watch? We have to fight.

Who is this "we"? Are you going to deploy to Ukraine? Because i'm pretty positive you won't.

Trump supports that, he has said as much.

You support that, you have said as much.

We have to fight.

Why do you insist on wanting to kill innocent people?

Of course, since you say we need to fight. You should enlist in the military. Otherwise, you are simply not to be believed.
