Are the Democrats about to cook up a fake war

It's really not that hard to notice that every ethnically, culturally and religiously homogenous region that wanted independence, did so with little fuss or a war. History is important too.
Maybe a little skirmish here and the along the border.
Slovenia, Estonia, Lithuania, Slovakian Velvet Divorce and even Croatia eventually became independent (maybe with some fuss) - the fuss seems to be always proportional to the size of the minority living in the newly established country.
People forget that America is a very, very young and unique country, where melting pot actually works (to a point).
Not so in the regions with centuries of conflict and messy history.
IMHO it's Lukashenko demonstrating what a good lapdog he can be, before he "gets disappeared" and it becomes another set of Oblasts or Raions or whatever in the Russian Federation.
The Ukrainians are fighting maybe better than the Russians expected, but this does look like Putin sent in the expendables and some ancient rusted sh!t and is trying to have a country worth exploiting when he's done.
They start this thermobaric sh!t and old school Red Army-style artillery, and a shitload of Ukrainian civilians are going to die in a really bad way.
IMHO yoaure correct about the left being in disarray, but I think that's because 2/3 of the left wants to try to win an election, and 1/3 of the left wants radical economic and social change and has zero concept of electoral/political realities.
Mike Gravel, Ron Paul, Bernie Sanders, Dennis Kucinich, etc. have all held elected office.
If you mean Presidency and the Presidency only, then yes I agree 110%. Those people are legendary at getting their asses kicked in Presidential elections.

Couldn't disagree more about the right being in total disarray. The politicians are more boojie than the base, but the anti-CRT/woke thing appears to be selling like hotcakes.

The USA is to blame for this like we were to blame for 9/11.
Yes, the Troubles were good times! Zero ethnic conflicts in Africa! I hear Kashmir is lovely. India/Pakistan/Bangladesh group hug mode activated.
Well, you brought up the Vietnam war. If Republicans were in charge, Hanoi would have been the new Hiroshima.What a looser.
Too bad Goldwater wasn't a part of the Old Right.
Plenty of the right has despised war, in modern times however they couldn't win an election (still won't).
They were relegated to running on alternative party tickets, the Ron Paul campaign, The American Conservative Magazine, and Justin Raimundo's AntiWar.com
Some maybe.
The right is in total disarray, just like the left.
Access to information, and disinformation, is the cause of this.
Those who share our general philosophy on this topic - essentially what test_article has labeled "punk rock delusions" - will never be elected to public office.
That's not very anti-war.
So Thatcher and the rest of the coalition in Gulf 1: Infidels in The Kingdom are absolved? Did the Ukrainians only vote for Timoshenko or Zelensky because of the US?
You don't think this war has ANYTHING to do with Putin's political standing domestically?
Between Eisenhower, Nixon, and Ford, we weren't short on GOP'ers in the Oval Office in the post-French SE Asia shitshow.
Like I said, to blame like we were to blame for 9/11.
The only factor? No.
A significant factor? Yes.
No, I'm trying to say you Continentals are as bad as any Anglo, ever. The Irish were at it for centuries. There are still peace walls or whatever the f--k they call them all over Belfast, which was even more dangerous than Detroit, Baltimore, or St. Louis, for decades. The wars in South Asia were not fun times.Are you trying to prove my point?
Why thanks you.
I am pulling down my pants and taking a sh!t on your point.
Question:
At this point in time, I believe the answer to this particular question is: No, a real war was started by Russia.
A more complex question would involve the issues surrounding the region, the participating parties, and their various supporters/detractors.

Ukraine was promised independence and security if it gave up nukes, this is almost entirely at the feet of Putin.
I agree OBL was hacked off about the Infidel being Saudi Arabia and that appeared to be cause numero uno for 9/11.
I disagree that the US actions are the primary/main/majority/plurality contributor to what is happening in Ukraine right now. I think Russia's economy was swirling in the toilet already, and Putin's popularity was sagging.
You, my friend, have come to the wrong place.
See post #1,435. He's covered it. If you want more info, just look at his post history.
Well that's kind of what I was saying. Maybe the Google translate doesn't work that well with Serbian.
Ireland was not a homogenous country, culturally or religiously. Hence Belfast.
Now the "No true Scotsman" fallacy, you are embarrassing yourself worse then Drainer ever did.
