Wtf is this comment tree. I have a feeling some of the comments I read are made by russian bots trying to make 3k soldiers seem like a dramatic red line news when so many more notworthy things were done in the past years.
Wouldnt surprise me. Lemmy has no tools to prevent russian bots and propaganda at all. Lemmy doesnt even have Voting contest mode or multi account detection to prevent manipulation
Or maybe some are by pentagon hawks looking to stoke the flames of war?
Seriously though, calling people who don’t parrot your opinion bots is toxic rhetoric. You are more than welcome to examine who is making what votes, that information is all public. But if you were to take a close look at my account (and others whom I assume you are accusing of being bots) we are all organic Lemmy accounts.
3k is 3k. It’s an increase. It’s not war starting today but it’s definitely not a step in the right direction. Calling attention to the likely scenarios of the US escalating their military presence in the region is most certainly not Russian propaganda just because it contradicts the American propaganda.
Nobody is blaming the US for starting this war. We are all literally saying that an escalation like committing troops would escalate quickly into nuclear war and we are criticizing the US for taking even baby steps in that direction.
Compare that with you trying to dive head first into a nuclear conflict we don’t belong in. Which weapons manufacturer or military branch do you work for?
You have stated multiple times in your comments that the US is trying to start a war. Several other people have called you out on this.
Nobody is buying your nuclear war propaganda. You’re just trying to give cover to Russian aggression in an attempt to allow them to capture control of Ukraine. What happens if they do capture Ukraine and then invade yet another country with all these new conscripts? Would you once again tell us to just sit around and watch because you’re ‘scared’ that we might upset Russia? How long do you keep that up? This parallels Germany in the early 20th century. Those wars didn’t end because people sat by and let them do what they want for fear of conflict.
it’s not that; it’s that it’s the US doing it for a country halfway across the world, as if we’re actually going there to help instead of taking advantage of the situation because Russia’s involved
Thank you for making explicit something I was wondering about. I noticed the .ml instances have a pro-authoritarian bias and couldn’t figure out what that stood for.

Typical reddit liberal moment calling someone who doesn’t agree with the US a “Russian bot”.
Nah it’s more like calling someone carrying water for Russia and blaming the US for a war that Russia started a year ago a Russian bot.

why do you think that the US in particular has the responsibility to directly get involved?
Why do you keep phrasing this as if a war didn’t already start over a year ago after Russia invaded Ukraine?
Seems you’d rather see innocent Ukranians slaughtered than offer them any aid. Why is that?
it’s not that; it’s that it’s the US doing it for a country halfway across the world, as if we’re actually going there to help instead of taking advantage of the situation because Russia’s involved
if we do go there, it’s not gonna be for aid
It’s no surprise; the Lemmy developers are literally tankies. This instance’s name literally ends in .ml (Marxism-Leninism).
Wow that’s so wrong it’s funny.
.ml = Mali
The country of Mali allows free domain registration.
That’s why it’s used. Because it’s free.
But by all means, keep buying into the tankie conspiracy instead of actually reading into things
