Also has this amazing comment:

Suggesting the defender in a war should just stop fighting, or that helping them is bad because if they did not have the ability to defend themselves, they'd quickly be unable to fight and the war would end with their defeat, is not anti-war. It is appeasement, and that is ultimately pro-war, because it creates a situation in which starting wars of aggression can benefit the ones who start them, which inevitably leads to more wars being started. To be against war, in the long term, one must support a situation in which starting wars is against the self-interest of those in the position to do so, and one of the clearest ways to do that is to try to ensure that those who begin wars of conquest or other such aggression, lose them.

    appeasement

    Libs and having a completely a-historical understanding of the inter-war period. A match made in hell.

    lol domino theory. It's still amazing to me people can say this with a straight face after all the warmongering adventures NATO goes on.

    1984 but literally. "War is Peace." Just right out and said it.

    Also, at least some of these people must have played Civilization or an equivalent 4x game. If they saw an extremely hostile alliance encircling them they'd know they were about to be attacked. But somehow, in real life...
