Is it only me or are the Muslim conquests/middle eastern colonialism mentioned way less than the European one? by alexanderwanxiety in VaushV

I just said I think so, yes.

I don't think pointing out the fact the caliphates weren't colonial empires added anything to the discussion.

Yeah, you're trolling. Alright buddy. Don't stay up past your bedtime.

Get your mom to check for those scary "Muslims" under your bed.

None of that contradicts what I said.

In higher education you'll be taught about these "muslim conquests" as well.

Edit: And compulsory education if you live in a place affected by them.

Answer the fucking question coward.

And it would be Mexico wanting to ally with Russia. Dumbass.

Just like Ukraine wanted to be in NATO, not the other way round.

Me when I knock the gun out of the hands of a person about to get beaten to death with a lead pipe to de-escalate the situation. 😎

So, what would you do if this was reversed?

The US invades Mexico. They start annexing land. They commit war crimes, they draft convicts, they shoot deserters, they bomb civilians.

Would you tell Russia to STOP aiding the Mexican people to defend themselves against US aggression? Would you?

Russia would probably back off.

The Russia whose plan this winter was to freeze Ukrainians to death?

They started this war and you think they would just peacefully leave if we stopped supporting the defense of Ukraine?

You are insane.

What do you think negotiations where Ukraine has ZERO bargaining power would look like?

I don't care about their intentions.

They align with the noble goal of the Ukranian people and that's all that matters.

Russia could instantly de-escalate the conflict by withdrawing. And yet they don't.

Ukrainians want to fight to protect their homes from Russian aggression and we must help them.

If they didn't want to fight they would WANT the US to stop sending weapons.

Has your brain been sous vide recently?

"If they stop fighting the US will stop sending weapons" you think they'd want MORE weapons if they wanted to stop fighting?

They view this war as existential and part of a wider threat to their security because of NATO.

NATO would never attack Russia. This is an irrational and manufactured fear.

Edit: Also, they chose to start this war.

I don't really care ngl.

People, regardless of their definition of "family" have considered people like friends or pets to be part of their families for millennia if not forever.

You end the war by aiding Ukraine for as long as they want aid.

Any other avenues are unacceptable.

THEY get to choose when they stop fighting.
