Very true -- but when those whims are fed by misinformation, the circle of suffering widens, as we see in this case.

One of the longer "NO U!" replies you'll read, quoted above. Not even smart enough to practice economy of language.
Instead of answering my points you replied with "fuck off" and "go fuck yourself". I think that speaks volumes about both your intellect (or lack thereof) and your unjustified self-esteem.
Hopefully next time you'll respond to points made rather than flaunting your butthurt for all to see and laugh at ... but I'm not holding my breath.

Here's a picture you can copy. You don't even need colors other than black, gray, and white.

you see, you don’t need to be any expert about tractors to tell, you only need to known anything at all about tractors,
or not having any specific knowledge about tractors, having very general knowledge of how remote enabled machinery works from engineering perspective would suffice.
and you seem not to.have neither, but are seething with resentment towards people who have bare minimum of knowledge and aren’t quite so completely ignorant.

I feel like I'm missing something..but I'm entirely sure that no idea about tractors (however misinformed or expertly derived) can explain why a person would contend that invading a neighboring sovereign state was an issue of forced passivity. Such that some third party to conflict owned said conflict.
That shit..is bananapants, and doesn't even allow a person to claim agency for the great and masterful putin.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.
