You listed three countries, dude. Tell me what colonies they currently have?

What about the rest of the world? For example China or Russia? Why exactly do they have less colonies?

Do you think the US is the entire west?

Do you think non western countries care more about casualties?

Your stupid meme just makes my point more stand out that you have all your knowledge from memes

Incredibly ignorant and uninformed take lmao

Still miles ahead of the rest

I think you make an interesting point and got me thinking, didn’t want to come of as standoffish or something.

I just think science pointing at faith loses the nuance between the assumption that a working theory is currently correct and the deep belief in dogma. Technically you could call both faith, but they are very different.

As you pointed out science deals with unknowns and sometimes there’s not even a theory. Faith has historically been one of the primary ways to deal with any kinds of unknowns, of course, but it’s not the only one.

I agree that being a scientist and being faithful isn’t a contradiction. I feel like science is a very broad term and certain disciplines might be more or less inclined to be religious though.

You mean like in Afghanistan? Where they proceeded to close these schools and sell the infrastructure the second the military left?

Cool story bro

Palestine removes Hamas == war stops

That easy

There’s a difference between working with the latest and most probable hypothesis under the assumption that it could be wrong and faith in a religious sense.

Faith and dogma leave no shred of doubt that they’re right. Science acknowledges that it could be completely wrong but we have no further data to replace at this point in time.

Israel has been there for decades without being at war with Palestine and there was no peace.

I don’t know what they have been doing with their influence to this point then.

Who cares? Saudis are a fundamentalist theocracy built on oil money

I could understand this post if it wasn’t very glaringly obviously where the money was going.

Which is the war happening in front of all our eyes. And probably the most well documented war in human history.

That’s great but it’s also not really what most people would think of when someone is rich

I would call it realistic instead of negative.

Yeah, you can get rich through ETFs but it’s incredibly unlikely.

Lmao that has worked very well in the past

I don’t think it makes that much of a difference tbh.

Both Iraq and Afghanistan struggled with terrorism and extremism during and after the occupation.

Cool idea, but in practice the left leaning weren’t serving in the military. They were usually taking the civil service route or trying to avoid both by faking disabilities.

It’s pretty clear that the people of Donbas, Crimea, etc, do not want to be ruled by this Ukrainian government

Maybe if you listen to Russian propaganda only. I have both Russian and Ukrainian family and it really isn’t that simple.

Your “peace” would be stripping any self determination of a sovereign country to appease the imperialist nuclear power on their border. Even after they have shown not to be trustworthy.

Ukraine might as well just surrender the entirety of their country instead of being a foreign ruled satellite state like Belarus.
