Difference is, I went and learned the truth, while you kept cheerleading from the sidelines. I was wrong. I admit it. You seem incapable of doing so, or are just jonesin for another war you don't have to fight in.
Plus I made a shit ton of money.
And for Ukraine..You're just as culpable by supporting something we have no business in. You might of well been whispering in his ear.
I think you're projecting buddy.
I'm not jonesing for anything. I'm as much for this thing as the last thing, whatever that was. I didn't put a Ukraine flag on my avatar here or anyone else. I have sympathy for the Ukrainians since they are the ones being bombed, raped, and murdered in their homes, but that's about the extent of it. I was shocked at the poor performance of the Russian military - I thought the conventional part of the war would be over in a month, but that the Russians didn't commit near enough troops to keep a lid on a guerilla war, and well, was totally wrong there (I also didn't think Russia would invade to begin with, so, wrong there also).
Re: Iraq, I'm much less disillusioned by that than Afghanistan (even pre-withdrawal), but Iraq was a major "fuck up" as well, and I put it in quotes because it's become clear that the "leadership" of this country - regardless of the party - is playing geopolitical games that run contrary the interests of most people in the world and most US citizens. I used to think the government could fuck up a mayonnaise sandwich, but now I figure it's all by design. You make a lot more money from a 2 decade war than you do a 2 week war.
Here we go. Murder, rape...all the virtue signaling. The Germans totally bayoneted Belgian babies, and the Iraqis for real pulled Kuwaiti babies out of their incubators because some 15 year old girl said so.
Yeah, it's not 1991 anymore. Not everything is a psyop. They have these things called cell phones, security cameras, and apps like Telegram these days where every day average people are able to post videos in real time. In more than a few cases, Russians and Ukranians filmed and self-posted videos of them committing war crimes. So, get your head out of your ass, you aren't being sophisticated by disbelieving everything, you're just being retarded.
It's also funny that you're doing the tried and true Republican excuse for losing a war...muh politicians. That trope has been rinse/repeat since Vietnam. Maybe one day your balls will drop, and you'll accept that the US doesn't shit Tiffany cuff links in everything it does, and maybe...just maybe..invading other people's homes might not work out so much for the John Wayne image. Might be hard to see that from your dojo, but it's kind of a fact.
I'm not blaming it on politicians, you should go back and re-read what I wrote, or go to the doctor and get checked for early onset dementia, because, fuck, have you gotten stupid in your old age. Matter of fact, we probably agree on your above point a lot more than you realize, but your dick got hard and your blood got up arguing with me, so carry on soldier boy until you get your nut arguing at clouds.
As for what I can and can't see from my dojo, haven't been in a few years, my arm was falling off of my shoulder, had surgery, and then covid hit, haven't made it back more than a couple of time since.
Fight your own war tough guy, or shut the fuck up. It's that simple.
You aren't my supervisor, homie. You don't get to tell me what to do.
I'd whore myself out just one more time if I knew who to screw to get out of this grind.
