That's my whole point, only money has been given. US troops should have been deployed to Ukraine.

No, but they did promise protection. So far, there has been no protection given, only money.

Problem with talking about USA in this conflict is everytime immediately assumes that anyone accusing USA of anything is automatically supporting Russia.

Congratulations nonetheless. Everyone fucks up the first time. They will get it the next time.

NATO expansionism is the root cause of this war. NATO instigated this war and Russia got baited.

I agree with you on this but with some nuance. This thinking is correct and should be used on individual level. However, time has shown us that most humans are stupid and will resort to herd mentality. So, the pride quickly turns into nationalism.

We are talking about the war/defence industry which is a much newer thing when countries started selling weapons and such to other countries on a large scale and during their own non-war times, like the last 50 years of American history. If countries sold weapons to each other during WW2, it was because they were involved in the war themselves. Nowadays, it is just selling weapons and watching others burn each other down.

Predictions have been going on since forever about so many things. Doesn't make it any truer. China is going to annex Taiwan, Russia is going to attack Europe, Iran is weeks away from nukes. Funnily, there are no predictions about USA doing stuff.

Everything will crash as a panic knee jerk reaction but the real assets will recover much quicker.

This is the whole point of resistance. Standing up to wrong is resistance, even if it needs sacrifice

I am sure most people during Hitler's rule were against the genocide but did it matter? Complicity is support.

Not really. I have taken really good care of it except for 2 one month periods where I broke the back and front glass. Yeah, I really did need a cover when I took it off for the feel.

Anyways, it has been a year or two since the incidents and the phone is still working perfectly fine.
