There is a legitimate and an illegitimate use of military force. Supporting the Ukrainians in the defense of their country is not "war-mongering." It's *because* someone understands that, that a criticism of military adventurism such as that in Iraq and Afghanistan carries weight

A better way would be to avoid all wars. One should not make war on people they may meet. A little war is flinging insults on people. This can include verbal abuse or physical insults such as smoking near children. Little wars can add up to a big war.

The EU is extending the length of this horrible war. There seems to be zero interest in de-escalation. Sad, tragic and preventable.

Don’t you think it is a legitimate use of military force to ensure security of one’s country??? The U.S. has Monroe doctrine, and Russia isn’t going to get defensive when it feels threatened? Why is Victoria Nuland, who was instrumental in 2014 coup undersecretary for pol affairs

So when are we sending weapons to Palestine?

Yeah, I don't understand their logic. It's literally like blaming a battered woman for defending herself. These people have broken their brains.

Putin started the war, and yet they say STOPPING PUTIN is the pro-war position. Insanity.

I guess nuclear annihilation might not be so bad. I guess that's the "are you f'ing crazy?!" use of military force.

You need to study history. Us and NATO skated this in 2014 and all Zelensky had to do was honor the Minsk agreements. Stop war mongering, the US in never a good actor, ever

“military adventurism” We were enforcing a no fly zone over Iraq for 10 years before we finally went in. 10 years of American pilots babysitting the Kurds.

You know, I have a lot more respect for you, as a peace loving person like myself, clearly stating the fact that there is indeed a legitimate use of military. If we didn’t fight the Nazis, we’d all be speaking German and hailing Hitler today!
