 So. russia invaded Ukraine. there was no weapons supply from US at the beginning. Then Ukraine got some help. Now - Ukraine has not received weapons from the US since December 2023. so is the war over? How can the US stop the war if it was russia who started the war? and why would russia suddenly stop the war after Ukraine stops receiving weapons?

 there is no way to say yes without a justification. You see. War is ritualized, industrialized, commercialized, industrial scale murder. is it ever just.? there is only one answer. otherwise you are a murder apologist. grok?

 I don't talk philosophy. I only can talk specifics. If one country invaded my country and want my country to stop existing and to stop existing me - so - yes, it is totally ok to kill soldiers of the aggressor country.

 by the way. that was a simple yes no question. no philosophy needed. Is war ever justified? Its like "what is a woman" but for the scared shook little warmongers and authoritarianism.

Reaching for the authority stick like this tells me that you live a life motivated by fear. Why so shook chum. No one hear threatening you. so why so scared all you lil war cheerleaders?

did somebody touch you? did your daddy beat you up? why are you so shook of the world little fella?
