Like reading the prerequisites for Kamala’s student loan forgiveness plan.

By this criteria, Mexico is the only country the US could invade and be as bad as invading Ukraine.
Good thing we just throw Mexicans in camps and have had a puppet regime in Mexico for most of the last century. That's a lot better.
Can you point me to something on the puppet regime, which president etc? I hadn't really heard much beyond Mexico being used for intelligence stuff
I guess Cuba technically doesn't count as "neighboring" because there's like 50 miles of ocean but how tf does that not count every other criteria???
All of those bullet points are so stupid. "Smaller" is especially funny, since the US mostly invades smaller countries and Russia will always have to invade smaller countries by definition, since it is the largest country.
Remember when the USA invaded Cuba in order to "help" the democratic revolutionaries that were already winning, and then reneged on their promises to support them, stole the entire country in the peace deal, made a military occupation, and then set up a client state with full control over finances and foreign affairs.
not neighboring makes it worse for the US! attacking people who have to cross a fucking ocean to hit you back!
reminds me of the "democratic peace theory" that natsec ghouls like to advance where you can say no two democracies have ever gone to war as long as you find some arbitrary reason to exclude all of the exceptions. And naturally the US is and always has been a democracy in these models, even when it had literal slavery
Invasion is only bad if it meets these 20 criteria. First, it must be exactly adjacent land. Second it must have at least at 20% smaller landmass or 10% smaller population...
If it's not an invasion on the European continent it's just sparking war
Infantry has to come from the infanterie age group of France, otherwise it's just sparkling child soldiers
Tell me you don’t recognize indigenous people’s rights as legitimate without you know the thing
iroquois, mexico, cuba
other than that they just do it halfway across the world, 'neighboring' is doing a shitload of lifting here
democratic
oh very convenient. are we going by the Freedom House definition or The Economist's definition?
Preposterous, when is the last time America invaded a country
- on the 29th of February?
You have to go back 100, 200, 500, 1000 years! And you still won't find it!
Oh and of course, OF COURSE, they're a fucking software security dipshit. All they teach you when you take security classes is that Russia, Iran, NK, and China are constantly a threat. Then their job is just worrying about that shit while they try to stop some programmer from opening the wrong emails. Of course he's taking this position.
honestly the emphasis they put on Nation State Actors in study materials for office bitch certs is hilarious. even if you get a government job you are not going to encounter that shit bro.
Why does 'neighboring' matter? These are all stupid and arbitrary, but that one has literally nothing to do with anything.
It matters because with out it he'd have to contemplate how Putin's invasion isn't any more agregious than the US invasions of Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq
Bomb socialist country to stone age: ... what's the problem?
Single attack on fascist stronghold: OMG WAR CRIME!!!
ending it's distinctive culture
What? The war hasn't even hit a week and this idiot is claiming that Russia is trying to end Ukraine's culture? Is Nazisim a key part of Ukrainian culture?
What about all of the indigenous people the US wiped out during it's history?
Libs have been slipping "genocide" into their proclamations from the day one which shows how the word lost all its meaning.
Um even if you just pretend American Indians don't exist, doesn't the US invading Mexico and stealing like California, new Mexico, Arizona count?
