To me this is the same philosophy adopted by Israel when they kill Hamas leaders. This isn’t chess, folks. Killing the king does not end the game.

Name one time since Hitler that the death of a world leader has resulted in the end of an armed international conflict.

How many people have you shot?

You… don’t know what a floppy disk is, do you?

No! That’s all I use Reddit for nowadays…

I think passionate, spirited, and energizing are great adjectives too. “Feisty” has just been everywhere today wrt the speech; it makes it sound like we’re talking about a sick cat.

If I have to read the word “feisty” one more time today I’m going to lose it.

Mmm not really. Being opposed to imperialist actions by the US does not imply that one feels we have an obligation to use force to oppose imperialist actions perpetrated by other countries. In fact, leftists are famously anti-war pretty much across the board.

America doesn’t police the world out of some righteous moral obligation. They do it because it enriches the incredibly bloated and unregulated military industrial complex.

And before anyone calls me a tankie, I fucking hate Putin. It’s not an either/or situation with Ukraine.
