The United States has done far more harm than good for humanity at large. The individualistic values it champions have led to a society that is fragmented and leaves many citizens in misery. Its global hegemony has resulted in the destruction of numerous countries, with countless lives lost due to its military interventions, coups, and regime change operations around the world. Moreover, the US’s extractive policies have prevented other nations from developing their own economies, perpetuating a cycle of underdevelopment and dependency. Additionally, as one of the largest consumers of energy per capita and major producers of fossil fuels, the United States is among the worst offenders when it comes to climate change, exacerbating global environmental crises with its unsustainable practices.

Why should I provide more sources when you yourself haven’t provided any? I have provided you with numerous sources in this thread already, and you ignored those. Like I already told you, feel free whatever nonsense you want, it won’t change the reality of things. You can think of me whatever you like, but I’m done trying to have a conversation with you.

I tried explaining things to you, but it’s pretty clear that all you want to do is regurgitate the talking points you’ve memorized. You don’t actually want to have a discussion, and it’s a waste of my time continuing this. Your purpose has been to spew ignorant nonsense, and to pretend that you understand the subject you’re woefully ignorant about.

No matter how much information I provide, you’re going to continue to weasel, move goal posts, and make straw man arguments. You’re not the first troll on the internet, and you’re not very original. Bye.

You clearly don’t care about the facts, and it’s not my job to educate you. All this information is publicly available, and if you genuinely cared then you’d learn what’s going on instead of trolling here. I just hope that one day you’ll be able to look back at what happen and do some introspection, but frankly I doubt that will ever happen.

Believe whatever you like.

I was very clear in what I said, if you can’t understand what I already wrote then I can’t help you.

I love how you’re hamfistedly trying to set up a loaded question here. Go read up on how Ukraine was put together by USSR, and where Donbas comes from originally.

nice straw man bud

Problem for dems is that it’s way too late to replace him now. They had to accept reality last year and run a real primary. Instead they waited until the last moment, and now there’s not enough time for somebody new without an existing voter base to start campaigning.

I reported you to the mods because I don’t want to see content from insane people on here. Go back to the cesspool that’s reddit where you belong.

Conclude whatever you like.

Seems like you’re struggling with a concept of how governments work. People elect leaders who make political decisions. Donbas has always had elections, and the elected government invited Russia for help. I hope that one day you’ll be able to grok this complex concept.

Of your entire understanding of the conflict is based on a single article then I see where you’re coming from.

Donbas has had election long before it INVITED Russia to intervene on its behalf.

Yes, I’m talking about general elections that Donbas holds here, not some specific election. The government is elected. The elected government that represents the people of Donbas invited Russia for assistance. What part of this are you struggling with specifically?

Are you asking about the dates regular elections that LPR and DPR have or?

Yes, Donbas has been autonomous and held elections since 2014. These elections have been held regularly. I’m not avoiding answering any of your questions here. You’re just doing trolling.

You answered yourself where the millions come from.

I didn’t, if you look at the link provided, Russian casualties have actually been going down. Apparently you don’t have a first clue regarding the subject you’re attempting to debate here. Let me explain a few basics to you. Most of the casualties in this war (around 80%) come from artillery fire, and Russia outguns Ukraine by a factor of around 10 to 1. Ukraine has at this point run through much of its professional army that was motivated and well trained, they’re now increasingly relying on conscripts with little training, and no motivation to fight. As the professional and motivated core of the army continues to shrink, an inflection point comes where the whole army starts to collapse. This is what happened to Germans at the end of WW2. This is what’s already starting to happen in Ukraine now. Armies don’t fight to the last man, once the collapse starts, it progresses very rapidly where the cohesion of the army falls apart.

Also, I notice you have problems with reading comprehension. Because I told you the opposite. Putin can’t in fact stop the war because that would be an incredibly unpopular move politically in Russia.

I’ve been explaining the same thing to you over and over in many different ways here. All you do is just keep regurgitating the same few points you’ve memorized. You’re not engaging in any actual discussion here, so I’m going to stop. Feel free to believe whatever you like, but I do hope that once the war ends you’ll do some self reflection and ask yourself what was achieved by prolonging the conflict.
