Are you suggesting we just let Putin take over Europe Nazi-style or is this comment unrelated to the article?
I'm from Europe, this is fucking nonsense. Please can the US piss off and leave the rest of the world alone? You caused this in the first fucking place and then you act like you're on moral high ground by supporting the continuation of it with the deaths of tens of thousands of people over lines on a fucking map. It's abhorrent. Let's not get started on how the US very obviously blew up German infrastructure to cripple Europe and vassalise it. Don't pretend that any of your support is for any of our benefit thanks. You've literally ended european prosperity and fucked the continent for the next 50 years.
The annexations in Ukraine are illegal, but Russia annexing 5 oblasts and Ukraine being locked into a status as a neutral buffer state is not exactly a Hitlerian take-over of Europe.
Its not ilegal in russia. Legality is not a real property of things its the opinion of the guy with the biggest army in the area. Thinking otherwise is 
No, annexation is illegal under the UN charter, of which Russia is a signatory, and wars of aggression are criminal in and of themselves. I'll condemn the illegal annexations performed by Israel and other states, and Russia's annexations fall under the same boat.
To be even more clear, I do think that Russia would have won fair referendums in Donetsk, Luhansk and certainly Crimea. I doubt that would have been the case for the other two oblasts. Still, all of those annexations were illegal. Just because the neo-cons have flouted the UN charter in favor of the ad hoc "rules-based order" doesn't mean others should.
It's always funny seeing people post that image without the context that Palestine declared war on Israel alongside all its neighbours and attempted to push the Israeli population into the sea.
The correct response to a settler colonial ethnostate being founded in your region by Britain is to try to destroy it.
Which excuses attempted genocide?
Ending the existence of an illegitimate country built on stolen land has nothing to do with genocide. You're doing the fascist ethnostate thing where you act like a state and its people are the same thing. States come and go, people remain, the ending of a state has nothing to do with harming people.
The Palestinians have the stated goal of murdering the Israeli people as well as ending the Israeli state
Ending the Israeli state is not ending the people. Fuck off. 21% of the "Israeli people" are arab you fucking racist shit, but you're not including them when you say "Israeli" are you? No.
I absolutely will not apologise for calling you racist. Whether you know this fact and are saying this shit knowingly or whether you're just utterly oblivious to what the conditions are in Israel doesn't matter. Oblivious racism is still racism.
i wouldnt call it an attempt, Israel is sure as hell succeeding in killing and displacing a lot of Palestinian civilians and also running the world's largest open air prison
More money being pissed away on Ukraine? Wow. That Zalensky guy must have photos of a naked Biden with some White House aide or whatever. This is a joke and a massive abuse of US taxpayer money. When does this end? How is the US benefitting from this? Oh, we aren’t at all. Hmmm. I wonder if there is something behind the scenes going on here? Like some other motive? I mean, it’s the Biden’s….. sort of a shady track record.
And don’t gimme a bunch of whataboutisms either. Don’t care. This Ukraine thing is a farce. Enough. We’re done.
How is the US benefitting from this?
Draining the resources of geopolitical rival without dead troops, weapons exports and lucrative contracts for reconstruction.
You should read war is a racket https://ratical.org/ratville/CAH/warisaracket.html
The guy who wrote it, smedley butler, was a highly decorated major general
Capital loves war which is why the US has been at war for something like 92% of its miserable existence. Of course the average person gets fucked
Geesh. Ain’t that the truth?
Sadly yes, the US benefits WE don’t
Buy stocks and join the cynic train.
Being a communist and a war profiteer are incompatible
"bolster border"
Floating circular saws are bolsters now
But they're not motorized chainsaw blades so according to one visiting 
we need to pack it up because we've been checkmated.
