I've seen the former part of that sentiment on here, but I haven't seen anyone use it as justification to go to war

It's used to justify bombing Yemen, support the genocide in Palestine, escalating the proxy war against Russia, and starting one against China.

You can get a social democrat to acknowledge that every conflict America has supported since WWII has made make the world worse, and they'll still insist that this time, it's different.

And half of lemmy are worse than that.

So, comrade, how much of Ukraine should surrender for about 6 years of "peace" with Russia?
