Faustus said:Fair enough. It just seems like you'd rooting for the side that's fighting against sacrilege, whereas you've come out and said that you identified more with Russia and against the Ukrainian degeneracy.Silian Rail said:Faustus said:Let's come at this from another angle.Silian Rail said:lobopride said:
Destroying Russia allows us to focus on China which is much more of an actual threat. Blood is being spilled to destroy Russia and it's not American blood. This war is a 100 times better investment than either Afghanistan or Iraq were.
In what world is Russia ever a threat to us? You guys are laughing at how Ukraine is beating the **** out of Russia with our c-team equipment, while at the same time saying we need to take them out so they're not a threat to us?

Pope Francis again condemned Russia's war on Ukraine, calling it a "senseless massacre" and "sacrilegious" attack on human life.

The Pope has said providing aid to Ukraine is morally acceptable.

For as much as you tout the Church line, how is it that this one is convenient to ignore? The US is doing the lord's work here fighting against Russia's senseless and sacrilegious attack.
Morally acceptable is totally different than a moral mandate. It just means it isn't a sin to do it. The Pope is always going to come out against aggressive war, this is no surprise. This does not mean that I have to immediately go join the Ukrainian army to fight Russia nor does it mean we have to donate money and arms to Ukraine, it just means if we do, it is not a sin.
However I appreciate the response and won't harp on it again.
