    You were using an analogy where a bully threatens to beat you up and take your money.

    That’s nothing like the current situation. The current situation is a nuclear armed nation is willing to wage an endless war and we’re throwing money and bombs and tanks at the problem trying to make it go away. You’re comparing small scale things to nuclear scale things and it’s really just absurd.

      No, I wasn’t.

      No, it’s not.

          My quote, not theirs. Also Russia is a bully. Similar to the kind that takes lunch money, but on a much larger scale

            You can’t just increase the scale and expect things to stay the same!

            If those nukes are ever touched it’s the end of the fucking world.

              And if a home invader with commercially available arms so decided it’s the end of your family. That’s how scale works.

              But you don’t give in to a bully to avoid violence. That’s how you get more people/countries bullied.

              This is not intended as a threat of violence. This is an analogy to make a point that should be obvious
