You and Biden were right. Me, expecting people to act in self interest was wrong. I've known of this blind side in myself for some time. Jimi and some others had it right all along.

I'll stick with engineering.
You weren’t alone. It’s difficult for me to see how this game ends well for Russia. I thought Putin was smart, turns out he’s just crazy.

A well aimed bullet may be the only way out of this.

I just sincerely hope that this unjust power grab by Putin leads to his downfall,and when his downfall comes I hope that pragmatic,sane people lock down Russia's weapons of mass destruction.I hope at this moment in time that there are Russian heroes that have yet to reveal themselves,to bring Russia out of the darkness Vlad has cast over it and into the light.Ukraine,resist wisely,fight when you can,run and hide when you have to,survive,in the end evil never triumphs.

The only thing that will slow the Russian expansion to the rest of the neighbors is the USA landing boots on the ground immediately (Fuck I hate to be in this position again). I believe the first planes of soldiers already touched down in Latvia

can't wait til trump wins 2024, drops bombs in contested territory, then convinces his followers everything is ok which is the reason why he is golfing and tweeting.

Society's moral codes are a distillation of many learning experiences and people who follow them avoid mistakes others made in the past. Moral codes enable others to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. As a person who makes a living carrying out experiments that often test conventional wisdom, careful study and understanding of the basis of that belief saves the cost of carrying out an empirical study on the subject to test it. Society benefits when people follow moral codes that are based upon good reason and the experience of others. Thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not bear false witness, for example. It's completely reasonable to question those codes. If one stops and thinks on the subject, it's not hard to figure out why they exist.

You are rejecting the statement by a government body made up of people who probably know more than you do on the subject. You did so due to your own belief that economic decisions should not be based upon morality. Isn't that simply following your personal moral code?

I'm not saying your are wrong or right, I'm saying your logic is muddled. Rejecting that paragraph because "economy" does not belong in a "moral argument" fails to convince because you brought no facts. Just your own bias against moral arguments.
The moral argument for the economy is so easily stated in diplomatic terms: not to deny the e.g. Ukrainian people the basic materials of welfare and health through action or inaction.

Russia's attack on Ukraine was part of trump's ultimate plan to win the 2024 election. Russia if you're listening i'd like you to do us a favor.

“We share 98% of our DNA with gibbons” and they never say how the percentage is figured. I have not found it laid out. I suspect it is a very crude measure like presence of point mutations in exon frames.
I've used that in my "one race" argument for years. If we are only 2% different from other higher primates, think how small the differences that control pigmentation are.

Just because you have some hair growing on your nads doesn’t mean you’re a real man yet.

Don’t you have some pimples to pop?
yeah. i popped a pimple on my nose, and it started bleeding so i had to put ointment on it, then i went to go smoke weed.

If the US doesn't put more troops on the ground IF Russia invades Ukraine (and not the Separatists states) then its a green light to China to move in on Taiwan.

Edit: well, well, well.
the U.S is not directly involved in this...this is a NATO issue..Biden volunteered to negotiate and macronroni had to jump in the spot light and play to putin's hand...so....
