Sounds like an election during war time is a pretty fucking bad idea.

The 14th amendment in the US and the 1864 election happened in war time.

On a scale of 0 to 10, how likely were civilian areas to be hit by artillery shells and rockets during the civil war?

Hint: the maximum range of a cannon at that time was barely a mile.

I loved the Warhammer videos with the fake voice.

maybe it’s because they are directly responsible for the current war.

“oh look what you made me do.”

You forgot that every discussion about Ukraine/Russia is steered towards talking about US imperialism.

I’d be happy if Russia would simply send its soldiers home.

it’s the Iraq war all over again

Oh so you’re against the invasion after all?

aka the real deal

The stance of “you didn’t care about X, so you’re not allowed to care about Y” is pretty fucking dumb.

The illegal annexation of Crimea is inherently different.

• Russia had good propaganda and muddied the waters by arguing that the majority of the population wanted this.
• Ukraine did not stand a chance against the invading forces. The whole attack was finished in a month. The chances of retaking Crimea at that point were next to zero.

That was 8 years ago and the situation has changed dramatically.
