International Kremlin says U.S policy shift aligns with its own vision

Are you a pacifist?
When it comes to war.
Yes i am. Seeing how the institution destruction is multigenerational. It solves nothing permanently and only offers temporary security until the next war.
While pitting humans against one another.
When we look at other people as subhuman we have destroyed a part of ourselves.

In relation to personal self protection i am an advocate for extreme violence by whatever means you deem necessary. Including but not limited to support of the second amendment,
castle law, stand your ground. And i don’t victim blame as is all the rage these days.
It is a peace with No Quarter.

Such is the duality of man.
 
Didn’t you say we should avoid any conflict with Russia because they are crazy enough to cause a nuclear holocaust?

There are people worse than that? Dams
Really poor attempt at trolling. 1/10. Not surprising though seeing your history of posting . Maybe sit back and wait for an opinion to be given to you so you can regurgitate it.

Yes there are way worse people . If anything , Putin has been soft and docile. US tax dollars are being used to kill Russian citizens. A more staunch leader would refuse diplomatic discussions and take that as a sign to attack the west .

Russia is not a major power in any way, other than having a large- if fairly low-skill- military. Their living standard is poor and in terms of economy, the EU is 10x larger. Spain alone has approximately the same GDP.

Russia is struggling enough with Ukraine, they have zero shot against the West.

Almost 25% of Russia does not even have indoor plumbing.

Almost every bullet, bomb, or missile that has ever killed a US or allied soldier since WW2 was manufactured and designed in Russia.
 
Never said you did. I just hope it doesn't turn into an Iraq situation where you think your removing the worst and then the entire area just goes to shit.

Now , russia doesn't have a poison like Islam entrenched deep into its culture like the middle east but that's not to say there isn't factions waiting to rise up.

Its a tough situation all around.

Poland alone would pose a challenge for Russia. These guys did not fuck around and have been modernizing and investing in their military a lot since 2014 to the point where they are now considered one if not the most powerful military force in Europe.

They are larger and are far better trained and equipped than the Ukrainian army.

No shit. Never said they had a shot but id rather them not shoot their shot at all.

You are not a pacifist. You don't know what pacifism is.

Which you have proven in your second paragraph.

This is the less embarrassing option at least. Being a pacifist is substantially worse than saying you're a pacifist because you don't know what it is.

I highly recommend you look up what pacifism entails. You'll never call yourself a pacifist ever again if you do. Too embarrassing. Certainly not the duality of man stance. Not a man stance at all. It's the opposite.



Wars have been raging for thousands of years. Saying institutional destruction is multigenerational is pretty moot when that's a small fraction of our timeline and this has never stopped. A generation is 20-30 years.

Statistically speaking the greatest tool humans have to decrease the amount of wars is representative democracy. Despite you calling everyone who disagrees with you a warmonger most of us aren't getting hard ons at the thought of hundreds of thousands of people being brutally murdered. Letting us vote has demonstrated that the masses are much harder to convince of war than the elite. Especially against other democracies.

Democracies go to war with dictators.
Dictators go to war with dictators.
And dictators go to war with democracies.

Democracies engaging in full scale war with other democracies... insanely low compared to the above three.

Prior to WW2 there were around 24 democracies in the world. Now we're at around half. This is a pretty new thing humans are doing. Getting democracies. In relation to the thousands of years of human history (and war) it's a very new thing. We're not even a single generation into being the majority.

But what we can see in this very limited timeline of human history is that it's extremely hard to get countries that are representative democracies to go to war with one another at scale. There's still violent tiffs of various categories between us at times where people get killed.

And while there are some full scale wars they are substantially rarer than any of the alternatives.

Pacifism is the belief there are better ways to resolve conflict. And there are in almost every situation. Avoidance being the most effective.

I wouldn't consider the act of self defense to be violence. I do however advocate for meeting the level of the attack. Hence a firearm as stated in my previous post can be used as a defensive weapon with no loss of life or injury to any parties.


I absolutely believe war and violence are wrong hence the definition of a pacifist.
It doesn’t mean you are required to be a victim to merit the ideology.

But thanks for the derogatory insinuation and telling me how i am supposed to feel about my opinions. Its been a real fun talk
<mma3>
Their beliefs emphasize the sanctity of human life, according it a special moral status that necessitates strong justifications for the injuring, harming, restraining, or killing of another. Absolute pacifists deny that there can be any justification for killing. The Mosaic command, thou shalt not kill resounds throughout much Western culture and philosophy and is the starting point for absolutist prohibitions on the killing of people in the Western philosophical tradition.

*I think you are embarrassed by absolute pacifism @Cid

You probably should look up the definition if you want to wag your finger at others or something idk 🤷
