[QUOTE="Gabriel Maxwell, post: 420323, member: 121"] I myself are more partial to “21st-century identity-based neo-communism” or “rabid and unhinged puritan liberalism”, but I suppose when the word “queer” no longer means what it used to and we’re all supposed to be fine with it, “loony woke” will do, too. And I couldn’t give a rat’s behind what color the skin of the person who originally invented it or the one who repurposed it was. Of course the Ukrainians can decide whether they want to continue fighting for the border lines as determined after these 3 sets of territories belonging to various empires were absorbed into the Soviet Union and turned into a Socialist Republic of Ukraine between 1922 and 1945 and then as such given independence in 1991 following the collapse of its far-left regime. But the Ukrainians will not decide whether the United States continues to bankroll the defense effort entering its 4th year which costs millions of dollars of non-Ukrainian tax-payers’ money every hour and so far hasn’t shown any progress since the establishment of the summer 2022 stalemate. So, in that sense, US will make the final decision, because if they pull the plug, how long can they last? Maybe the E.U. steps up for a while instead, maybe that’s all insufficient. We’ll see. But Ukraine has been known for decades as a hellhole of corruption, I had been hearing such sentiment repeatedly 30 years ago. Just look at their plummeting population (52 mil to 41) even prior to 2014 or their minuscule GDP (given their size). No, that doesn’t mean they deserved invasion and destruction. But we also shouldn’t escalate this to a global thermonuclear conflict over a freaking Donbas.
