    I can't believe a communist is honestly advocating for a nuclear exchange. Honestly this reads like a bad edgy roleplay. We need more comrades like Vasily Arkhipov and Stanislav Petrov and less like you.

      Even more like some ultraleftist fantasy of Total Destruction and Birth of a New Order, actually. I can't say I was never prey to that kind of thinking -- especially when I just started getting into Marxism -- but it really is juvenile and basically anti-materialist.

      I am not advocating for a nuclear exchange.

      I am advocating for not backing down or being blackmailed by this monstrosity into just accepting their salami-slicing tactics without any tipping over point ever.

      Nowhere did I say "gee they better nuke the jerks tomorrow".

      Frankly I think Russia should wait until Trump gets into office and give him an ultimatum and a chance to put a stop to it. I'm afraid he may escalate even further to try and pressure them though but it's worth a shot. And nowhere did I say if that fails they need to jump immediately to nuclear weapons use.

      I have nothing more to say as my opinion is being distorted so this is not productive. Nor do I have any interest in trading barbs though I have several thoughts as this isn't going anywhere good.

      I admit though I can't recall now that some of my language may have been hasty and imprecise and for that I am sorry for making worse any misunderstandings as a result. edit: I was in a somewhat emotionally agitated state so I may have phrased things in ways I regret though I maintain I didn't and wouldn't advocate that, it certainly wouldn't be my intent.

      edit2: I honestly cannot recall what I wrote. It was late. But I accept the criticism unspecific as it is and will try to self-crit.

      I reject the notion of a better world through nuclear armageddon as some other comment implied.
