The Ukraine Question

[FreelancePoliceman]

Me and the boys @FreelancePoliceman, @MrInternet, @ExpBunnyMacroverse, @Eudaimonia @Adam Strange are going to fly out to Ukraine and join the army in the fight against the Russian menace. We'll undoubtedly die rapidly in the conflict but will forever live on as heroes and martyrs in the hearts and memories of the Ukrainian people.

I don't really want to die for Ukraine, honestly. I mean in general I'm not wild about dying, but for Ukraine of all countries has to be one of the more pathetic ways to go. If WWIV starts over this country of all things that'll be the perfect capstone to this retarded era.

E: I didn't see that this was a thread. Yeah, if Russia annexed all of Ukraine I would not care. One kleptocracy swallowing another one which happens to be run by neonazis is the "worst case" scenario here. I really don't want there to be a nuclear holocaust over this shit.

You should call the NYTimes and tell them to stop writing about how they love the idea of the US getting involved in every conflict that comes along. It would be censoring their speech, but it just might save the world.

One guy asking the NYT not to do what it does isn't censorship, obviously, not least because the NYT doesn't give a shit what I think. The idea that the world's fate is controlled by people who read the NYT is horrifying though.

When I was a kid, there were only three national TV networks, and they all said the same thing. "The Vietnam war is good and just." There were no other views in the national press.

Until people started writing in and saying that their policies were wrong.

Sometimes, all it takes is one person to let people know that there are other options than the ones they've been presented with.

Hey, WW1 started over Serbia and WW2 over Poland so why not WW3 over Ukraine? You gotta have a Slavic country as a catalyst for a world war, it's the rules! But fine! Looks like the rest of the boys are pussies so just me, MrInternet and ExpBunnyMacroverse will die with honor!
