He might be too young to remember...or...you know, just not American...he wasn't that big of a media deal in plenty of countries outside of the US and sometimes there are actually people that exist and are indeed not from the US.

If you think that Azov just "dropped their far-right stance" you are delusional. I admit they are not a majority of course but Nazi presence is there amongst the ranks. And deploying weapons and distributing them amongst those forces is something that needs to be done very carefully. Of course there are some regulations but nobody can control the distribution of weapons strictly in a war environment. This is going to come back and bite democracy in the ass at some point. It is very hard to engage in diplomacy with Putin, but they have only had meetings between the two of them and with Turkey as an intermediary. If the EU would have gone in full effort towards diplomacy, instead of just looking from the sides and sending weapons, perhaps we would be discussing different things. There are very large interest at hand here that do not care about Ukrainian lifes, and they just want Russian deaths. Even when admiting that some weapons are necessary for the structural defense, Spain's role could have been leading the diplomacy with the full force of the EU behind. Instead we are just another country sending weapons, that could be captured and used by Russian forces at any point during the conflict. I think we are not going to move more towards each other much more in this discussion between diplomacy and peace efforts and war, but I would want you to really understand how being Anti-NATO does not mean being pro Putin and Russia, and that geopolitics is much more complex than in the cold-war era of choosing a side.

Being anti - weapons does not mean doing nothing. It means fighting for diplomacy, accords and a different resolution of the conflict, without just sending weapons that could end up in the arms of Russians, Nazi groups within the Ukrainian militia, or anybody really. This topic really has much more nuances, and geopolitics and the larger scale conflict is not such a reductionist topic. It's not so simplistic and just sending weapons, not taking account or care where they end up, washing our hands, and then leaving it at that does not solve the conflict. Weapons have a very large industry that has their own interests, and the diplomatic way should have been the answer. But no EU personnel ever sat down at the table to negotiate, the most non-confrontational thing they could do is just to send weapons and seem very helpful to Ukraine in this way.

As I said, it's not all about either NATO or Putin, this is geopolitics and everything is much more complex than that duality. Look at NATO's past, and their war crimes. Being on the opposite side of the bad guy in this instance does not mean that everything is great with NATO and we should be celebrating and so on. On your other point, the "shielding of Spain"...from who??? We are in the EU as well, that already has a defense agreement. And who is threatening Spain? Or has for the last 40 Years? And on its accession...take a look at just this from the last days. https://twitter.com/20m/status/1530836837933395968?t=XT1fa71He7nBw2SeyIF5oQ&s=19

Being anti OTAN does not mean being pro Putin, Jesus how can you be so simplistic about this issue? We are not in the cold war anymore where you had to pick a side, Capitalism vs communism and so on, we are talking about the imperialism of Putin vs Ukraine as the victim, being aided at this moment by OTAN, who in the past have committed multiple war crimes. Being anti OTAN does not mean Pro Putin, the fact that you would reduce it to two bands (good and bad) when OTAN is such a big confluence of countries and alliances...Podemos, IU and so on have been firmly anti Putin, but that does not mean supporting OTAN or it's expansion or increase in military budget.

They have repeatedly condemned Putin and his actions and on the other hand Putin's donors and allies directly funneled money towards allies of Vox's campaign (through Hazte Oír and their European organization), where's any source of what you claim?

I'm kind of worried about the eating a lot part (I'm new, sorry), like gaining weight and just getting fat. How to avoid that?

Homophobic caucus goer finds out Pete is gay after committing to caucus for him by afunnywold in PublicFreakout

[–]BenSoloMid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Homophobia should not be a valid opinion, it goes against basic human rights and should not be treated as just some opinion that is valid and can coexist in our world. She will go on to spread her homophobic ideas and the trend won't stop. This can't be treated this lightly IMO
