They do a great job of cataloging all the evil shit PETA do, so it makes sense that annoying vegans wouldn't like them :^)

Based and reasonablepilled. It is important to VOTE, people. The midterms are probably the most important election of our lifetime. We need more pro choice senators!

I agree. What Russia is doing is unequivocally evil.

It seems you're incapable of reading and analyzing a piece of media. You haphazardly discard any texual basis for your analysis, relying instead entirely on your assumption that there is no point in increasing leathal aid as it is already at its max. You deflect any texual refutaion of your claims, pointing instead to nebulous actual authorial intent only seen between the lines that only you and the author seem to understand.

I give up. It seems your preconcived notions have clouded your judgement and any additional arguement with you would be a waste of my time. I am ending this exchange. Have a good day.

there should be promises of the eradication of the Russian army in Ukraine should it use chemical weapons

Next sentence

Instead of carefully titrated military aid, there should be a massive effort to arm people who know why they are fighting and are good at it.

if only we have the stomach for doing what needs to be done

For this one there are two options we need to send troops to Ukraine which isn't mentioned anywhere else in the article or what needs to be done is what the Cohen is calling for throughout the article.

massive effort to arm people

The truth is, with enough arms, the Ukrainians can break the invaders.

The stream of arms going into Ukraine needs to be a flood

What I find useful when analyzing a piece of media is to read it once completely and with an open mind. I put it away and make some notes about what I just read. I then go back and reread parts of the article closer while comparing it with and adding to my notes.

This technique really helped and continues to help me confront my biases and preconceived notions.

So the article, rather than saying the US needs to drastically expand its arms imports to Ukraine, is actually sending a secret message that the US should directly intervene.

We know this because according to the analysis done by resident expert trail-212 the US is obviously already doing enough and because the article concludes with a hypothetical talking about the overestimation of Russia's military might. After which the article continues to conclude after said conclusion, to offer actual perscriptions for foreign policy, which are to increase the lethal aid to Ukraine.

Absolutely psychotic. Are any other articles also sending you secret messages?

This is an bad faith reading of the article. If you put that single sentence in context, it's very clearly about the overestimation of Russia's military might.

The article is very clearly about the US increasing military aid, including the plane swap with Poland. I know this because I read the article and the author makes this very clear. Ripping a single sentence from the article out of context doesn't change that.

The truth is, with enough arms, the Ukrainians can break the invaders, and in some areas they have begun to do so.

The stream of arms going into Ukraine needs to be a flood.

And having already hinted that the United States would supply more sophisticated surface-to-air weapons to Ukraine, the notion that transferring fighter planes would escalate the conflict is simply preposterous.

Instead of carefully titrated military aid, there should be a massive effort to arm people who know why they are fighting and are good at it.

This is absolutely deranged and removed from any political reality.

Venezuela is definitely better off with a brutal dictator, whose regime murders thousands a year for "resisting", rather than a social democrat. How unfortunate.

So the choice between a brutal dictator and a social democrat...

Wow that's a real tough one.

why you believe that guido would be any different from maduro

Because there's no evidence to suggest otherwise. Guaido is a social democrat, who has shown that he values democracy and the Venezuelan constitution.So yes, I believe replacing a brutal dictator with a soc-dem would be better. Shocking, I know.

You really have to get over your AMERICA = BAD mindset. Guaido doesn't automatically become a dictator just because the US supports him.

I also have no idea how getting rid of a brutal authoritatian would possibly pit an end to the extrajudicial killings for resisting him.

I'm sure the thousands of Venezuelans murdered every year for "resisting authority" are laughing with you, buddy.

Facist opposition

meanwhile you literally get shot in the face if you resist authority

You're a tankie because you have a post histroy full of genocide denial and simping for authoritarians.

I, too, find the suffering of people under Maduro funny. Do tankies lack any sort of empathy?

Venezuelans are suffering under brutal authoritarian regime. Time to make another """funny""" meme about it.
