Ah yes, I'm a warmonger for... not wanting myself and friends of mine to be murdered by Russian invaders?

People I personally know had their homes taken during the initial stages of the invasion. Russian forces looted their homes, taking everything of value. Many of the people who didn't flee in time were simply murdered - a common way to die was to have Russians throw grenades into your basement window. And for that matter, lots of the women and girls who didn't flee in time were raped.

How did those people I personally know get their homes back? Not through diplomacy or negotiations or dialog. They got their homes back because Ukrainian society organized a defense, and killed those Russians in large enough numbers that they abandoned those parts of Ukraine, and went back to the border. Unfortunately not every home - I also know people whose homes are still in occupied territory. But in time, this theft of land and resources can be entirely reversed.

It's not "warmongering" to defend yourself. It's no "warmongering" to help other's defend themselves. What is warmongering, indirectly, is to try to stop others from being able to defend themselves. You, @DarthCoin, are warmongering by the fact that you are setting up conditions where future, genuine, warmongerers like Russia will be able to profitably repeat wars against defenseless targets.

When you get down to it, what Russia is doing is ultimately the same as common thieves and murderers. Russia is invading land, and killing and subjugating the population, and stealing their property and resources. Any sane, intelligent, person supports the use of violence to stop murder and theft. You are not such a person.

"warmongering politicians"

Is Zelenskyy a warmongering politician for organizing a defense against an invasion? He could have easily fled Ukraine. But he didn't. He stayed behind while Russian bombs were raining down on Kyiv, attempting to kill him personally, to organize the defense that successfully pushed Russian forces back to the border around Kyiv.

165 sats \ 17 replies \ @grayruby 10h

Not sure, maybe he is just a puppet of the warmongers. I would certainly argue he is a grifter. He seems perfectly content to let this war draw out and have the billions of OPM keep rolling in. Why?

I think you are way overestimating the nobility of these politician's intentions.

111 sats \ 16 replies \ @petertodd 10h

"content to let this war draw out"?

What do you expect him to do? Ukraine has tried to negotiate a peace with Russia before, multiple times, and Russia has broken the agreements repeatedly. It's obvious why Russia is invading Ukraine: they've stolen trillions of dollars of resources, and even now, there's still a chance they could get away with it.

War is always going to exist as long as invading your neighbor and stealing their stuff is profitable. Ukraine has lots of stuff to steal.

Arguing against defense is ultimately no different than arguing to defund the police. Either way you're arguing that victims shouldn't have any way to defend themselves from evil.

124 sats \ 15 replies \ @grayruby 9h

So your position is if Europe and US stopped funding this proxy war that there would not be a negotiated peace and instead Russian would just roll through Ukraine and steal all their resources?

That's one way of looking at it. I am skeptical but I respect your right to have an opinion. I respect your right to fund whoever and whatever projects you want for whatever reasons and if you want to simp for politicians that's on you but in my opinion it's a bad look.

201 sats \ 14 replies \ @petertodd 9h

"Funding this proxy war"

Good riddance man... The initial invasion in 2014 wasn't funded by the US or EU. Quite the opposite: Ukraine got fuck all help and had to fund their own defense all by themselves. It was only the truly heroic efforts of the Ukrainian military that managed to pause the invasion for a few more years.

Russia invaded precisely because this wasn't a proxy fight.

120 sats \ 13 replies \ @grayruby 9h

We aren't living in 2014 Peter. This is most definitely a proxy war. Whether it started that way or not doesn't change that fact.

You have made your point. You have said "good riddance". So let's just end this discussion cordially. I am sure we both have better things to do.

Where have you been 10years ago after the bloody western revolution and the start of the bombing? Do you know how many of its own people this facist regime killed in so may years. Do you really think the war started with the russian intervention a year ago? Do you know that bandera is a hero in ukraine now? Do you know that putin would get more votes than zelensky if all people in ukraine would be able to vote right now. Nobody would vote for this clown again, so there will be no voting. It is overdue since 03.2024 so it is officially a regime. Supporting ukraine means supporting war and laundering money. Do you really think it was a russian plan to attack ukraine? Or maybe it is a old american wet dream that slavic people kill each other. Think twice and support no side because it is not your fucking problem.

I've personally talked to civilians in Kyiv in the early stages of the invasion who were in that situation: they had gotten their personal, civilian, hunting rifles out from their safe and were hunkered down in the basement parking of their apartment building, ready to kill any Russians who entered in a last stand if needed. Other people they knew further away from Kyiv had been killed by that same Russian invasion force.

Were those people "supporting" that "bankster war" by getting their guns ready for a last stand?

I'd like to avoid WW3. I don't think the bankers and politicians of the world care that much about the plebs. We are all fodder for their profits. They play us against one another. I refuse to play. This conflict is complicated but I firmly believe there are bad actors milking it with little concern for the people on either side. Frankly the media for the most part is in love with promoting wars. The MIC is loving this war. The US military is loving this war. The incentives for the west point towards prolonging it not finding resolution.

I do not think that is unreasonable position. This photo in question of signing bombs seems to me to be the opposite of finding a resolution to this war. Its frankly disgusting to me. Saying so is not the same as saying Putin is right.

I think the original gripe people had was the optics of officials signing bombs, kinda like rock stars signing tits.

It looks perverse, evil and morally bankrupt.

It's one thing to argue for the war. Maybe one can argue a war to be necessary, but I think it's worth trying to keep our humanity throughout it all, and to see it as tragic.

Instead these officials show they have no care for the victims of war or the human cost of it all. They rather wave around their dicks and rub it in.

Killing Russian soldiers is something to be celebrated. They signed up to kill Ukrainians for money (Russia is using hardly any conscripts; they're being kept on Russia). They're evil people and their deaths are not tragic.

And or course, shells are just a weapon system. They're not exactly showing dead Russians here. They're celebrating the gun.

I think I know the answer but it sounds like you consider all Russians as evil. That's where we disagree. Bombs kill both the good and evil. Bombs are warrented in war but trivializing it is tasteless and shows a lack of humanity. Also invites propaganda from the other side as evidence of these things. It's just dumb to do it.

Artillery is a relatively short range weapon, ~20km max.

There's hardly any Russian civilians in range of artillery. Pretty much the only people who are going to get killed by those shells are Russian soldiers, the vast majority of which are volunteers who signed up to fight for money.

Pacifism is often warmongering, indirectly. Pacifism that results in people being unable or unwilling to defend themselves invites violence from evil people willing to take advantage of that.

That's why pacifism is so often an evil moral philosophy. Especially when the pacifism is trying to impose pacifism on third parties. Which is what DarthCoin is doing here: he's accusing others of warmongering, and in turn discouraging Ukraine from being able to aquire weapons to defend itself. That will invite more war to steal what Ukraine has.

Zeus was referring to Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine, and other politicians signing artillery shells at a US manufacturer the other day. That manufacturer has ramped up production significantly to about 100,000 shells per month, essentially all being bought by Ukraine, which is extremely important to Ukraine's defense.

I'm in Kyiv at the moment actually. In the past ~3 weeks I've seen anti-air defenses actively shooting down Russian drones and missiles about 4-5 times, occasionally quite close (1-3kms) to the city center where I'm staying. Russia is trying to, among other things, destroy the electricity grid of Ukraine. Quite literally one important reason why the power is on right now in Kyiv is because artillery shells have been able to push back Russian forces far away from Kyiv and the power stations supplying Kyiv - missiles and long range drones cost a lot more money per target hit.

The political action here is Zelenskyy visiting an artillery shell factory that recently expanded production to make 100,000 shells a month for Ukraine's defense. That doesn't "make the war longer", unless you think that Ukraine should just surrender and let Russia take their land and murder and subjugate their people.

If you want the war to actually end, you want Ukraine to be armed to the teeth to force Russia to stop.

Again, is being in Kyiv "warmongering"? I'm giving a talk at the local Bitdevs meetup this week.

I gave another two talks in Kyiv earlier this summer; both times I was interrupted by air raids.

Are those Bitcoiner's in Kyiv "warmongerers"? I know for a fact that some of them serve in the Ukrainian military, defending their country from an invasion. Is that "warmongering"?

Darth that sounds like bullying threats from you. How about sticking to fact based reasoned debate and a polite contest of ideas? Or can you not do that?

I have read through this page and my impression is you and Peter have very different positions but I see no cogent fact based contest of ideas where you or Peter is proven right or wrong. Yes banksters and state security CIA are involved in many wars and profit from them with the banksters often backing both sides but in the case of Ukraine I do not see the banksters backing Russia- it is China who support and enable Russias assault upon Ukraine. This is a proxy war between USA and China.

Chinas banks are not the same as the historically predominantly Jewish owned banks of Europe/USA who have indeed often backed both sides of wars between European western nations.

Chinese banks are a relatively new phenomenon in international war and are closely associated with the CCP. They are enabling Russias continued trade payments since USA / SWIFT blocked them.

I do not know what will happen of Ukraine falls to Russia but it does seem possible that this would signal for China and its allies Iran and Russia that further aggression might be equally rewarded.

IMO this is the beginning of WW3 and either way will not be the end of it. We need to step back and stop yelling at each other because as Bitcoiners we are all free to hold and express whateverthefuck opinion we want.... and hopefully this exchange can be done in a fact based reasoned contest of ideas- not bullying yelling emotional threats.

this is the beginning of WW3

WW3 was active since the'60s but you were too young and in diapers then. A WW is active and alive only when elements like >Peter are gaslighting the war propaganda...

But nobody is asking the most important question: QUI BONO (all this war)?

You would have wanted The West to offer no resistance to the USSR and its ambition of global expansion?

You now want The West to offer no resistance to the CCP and its clear intention to challenge US hegemony?

Why are you posting this cope in the bitcoin territory?

Peter is absolutely right about Ukraine.

Most Bitcoiners seem to agree, as the defense of Ukraine is the biggest Bitcoin donation project there has ever been. I donate to it and so should you.
