Reply to Belarus to Mobilize 1.5 Million Potential Soldiers Outside the Armed Forces in Case of War, Senior Belarusian Official Claims by Leshracc

I don’t see how Lukashenko can win here? Like half his Army hates him and Russia. Who do you sent to Ukraine? The ones hating u? They won’t fight the Ukrainians, they might just go AWOL and deliver Ukraine some equipment. The ones that will fight for you? Who will protect you in the country then? Russian troops? Well the ones in Ukraine or the ones inside Russia to suppress the Russian public potentially? That would be the end to his reign and he knows this, as dumb as he may seem, this is the only reason why he hasn’t sent any troops yet, even going against Putin

Reply to comment by aseriousplate in China accuses U.S. of ‘disinformation’ over warnings it’s considering sending artillery and ammo to Russia by diana321

Honestly, I'm loving how forthcoming the US has been recently. Yea, they've lied in the past and continue to lie. But most of the intelligence they have been releasing the last couple of years have been dead on. It's nice seeing these countries being called out, denying it, and then doing exactly what the US said they were gonna do.

Reply to comment by DudleysCar in China says claims it’s considering sending Russia lethal aid are 'disinformation' by NCGuy257

See, this is what I meant when I said that it is a bit more complicated. You are right that it's not as simple as I would like it to be, saying that myself in my comment; however, both you and me don't truly have a grasp on how complex it really is.

It probably did come off a bit rough when I said "wannabe intellectual" because it may seem like I consider myself an "actual intellectual" trying to put down contradicting positions, but really it was meant to be an acknowledgement that we all aren't intellectuals. My position has never been more useful than the position of every other average internet user, but I still thought it was worth mentioning ^^

I'm probably the only idiot who doesn't know what this is from, but I'll go ahead and ask anyway..what is this from? Escape from New York? I'd guess RoboCop but I thought that was Detroit..

The current MIC also doesn't account for the massive amounts of companies, and some of those massive companies themselves, being switched to full production of military goods in a war economy. In that case, human waves would uh....yea I guess we could call them "inefficient" let's go with that.

Reply to comment by hamsamith in Thunberg, Indigenous protesters block Norway energy ministry over wind farms by p4177y

Nuance can be difficult sometimes. Wind farms are good for the environment because they can reduce a country’s use of fossil fuels, which lead to pollution in the air and all that comes with it, especially warming characteristics. However, if a wind farm causes harm to a wildlife population that is essential to the lifestyle of an indigenous population, then it doesn’t seem to help the environment that much, does it? So, if we instead put it somewhere where it doesn’t have this effect, it should provide a net good, as is the purpose of building wind farms in the first place. “We” still think wind farms are generally good, because “we” can think situationally and not treat every scenario as a black and white issue. “We” are capable of reading articles and allowing new evidence to enter our brains and modify our conclusions to be more accurate.
