That was obviously never going to happen, although one can wish that the biggest imperialist military organization would disband.
I really cannot stress enough how little I want that to happen right now. I’m extremely grateful that NATO exists and is strengthening. I have a fear that it’s not strong enough yet to face everything that might be coming.
Now, if we ever end up in such a happy situation where it’s not actually needed anymore, then sure, bring it down. Personally, I regard even 0.1% GDP military spending a gross violation against humanity. Like Yuval Harari recently said in an interview, every cent of that money is away from some more important problems like healthcare, education and fighting the climate change. But when the alternative is slavery in a totalitarian state then we must do that gross violation then. And now every nation in the world is forced to spend even more on militaries.
This all should very well be added to the long list of crimes against humanity that Putin is growing. But of course he will never be prosecuted. They never are.
I love how you managed to forget all the crimes against humanity that NATO is responsible for while writing all that drivel. Liberals consistently expose themselves as having utter lack of intellectual integrity.
Having my children threatened by war does wonders to previous viewpoints, yes. It brings the theoretical wankery down a notch or two.
What makes your children more important than millions of children NATO murdered?
Chronic whataboutism!
Whataboutism is a form of the tu quoque fallacy where a double standard is used to dismiss criticisms of one’s own behavior in order to focus instead on the actions of another. People who cry whataboutism engage in empty and cynical deflection of responsibility. You’re a pseudo intellectual troll.
Explain now what the Ad Hominem logical fallacy is, please.
If you’re going to try to use big words then at least learn what they mean. Ad hominem would be if I claimed that your argument was wrong because you’re a piece of shit. I’m pointing out that your argument is wrong and you’re a piece of shit.
It’s time for you to get back on your meds, now.
This is your first warning for breaking rule #2, do not troll other users and tell them they need meds.
Thank you for the heads up. I was just noting that https://lemmy.ml/u/yogthos has increasingly devolved into hysterical personal attacks. I’d love to block him, but he’s the most prolific poster of disinformation and I think it’s important to catch him in his lies before he pivots.
