Also me: please let me visit a single hobby subreddit without warmonger libs complaining about how Biden isn’t bombing Russia enough

    I'm reminded of the run up to the Iraq War, when everyone online was a hawk, but vanishingly few were crazy enough to actually enlist.

    US military readiness has only declined since, with diminished forces spread thinner and thinner across an increasingly insurrectionist landscape. The rest of Europe has absolutely no interest in escalating what was already well past their collective appetites to confront. And Ukraine is just about as far beyond US sphere of influence as you can get without being in a hostile nation.

    Its all sound and fury, for now. Just ten million terminally online internet goons pounding sand.

      Yeah I don't doubt most of them are a bunch of virtue signalling nerds it's just annoying to see every single place (even places that are "apolitical") being taken over by these dumb takes and you can't do anything about it or you get called a Putin lover
