> ukrainians aren't an infinitely renewable resource neither are russians. why is putin putting north koreans into the mix? > are you so bold as to think they won't eventually realize they're being genocided? not at all, though i am surprised they've gone along with it this far > 4th highest suicide rate in the world, absolutely out of control feminism and brutal work culture kill any hope this country has of a future. agree on north korea though and that's the point encapsulated. would you rather be in north or south korea? > so ~58,000 us soldiers dying for an inevitability was worth it? hindsight is 20/20. there's a reason why the cold war was a thing and it's because very few people back then thought capitalism vs communism had an inevitable outcome > the us could've injected an aid package for half the price of a military involvement which would have been taken by the taliban just as easily as they overran the installed government once the us pulled out. now that the taliban is in control they'll have to run the country and make it prosper or they'll either run it into the ground or maintain a level of sustenance that simply keeps them afloat rather than improving as a whole.
