Yeah, I'd much rather have random humans I don't know anything about making those "moral" decisions.

If you're already answered, "No," you may skip to the end.

So the purpose of this article is to convince people of a particular answer, not to actually evaluate the arguments pro and con.

America losing is not equivalent to Russia winning.

No he hasn't.

One of the biggest gripes I've had with Americans over the years has been their perspective that America was the whole world. The rest of the world was just "out there somewhere", some vague hinterland that news stories came from sometimes but that didn't really matter and was totally at the whim of whatever was going on in the real place in the world, America. Even now, even among the Americans who are horrified at Trump and what he's doing and want to say sympathetic things to the allies he's screwing over, we're still seeing this.

Putin's useful idiot has smashed America and America's global dominance. This is bad for America, sure. But it's not necessarily bad for the whole world, and it's not necessarily even good for Putin in the grand scheme of things. Putin is still three years into his three-day "special military operation", with his troops travelling to the front lines on crutches and donkeys to die in meat waves. Finland and Sweden joined NATO. The EU is allocating hundreds of billions of Euros to defense. Germany just elected a government that seems willing to stand up and join them in combating Russia. Russia is still completely hosed. It is not bending the world to Putin's vision.

Sure, it would have been nice to have America fully on board with defeating him too. But America's only a part of the whole world, and an increasingly smaller part these days. Let them go wallow in the isolation they seemingly crave.

Sounds like an auction with extra steps.

Indeed, that's IMO the most horrifying part. It sounds like Gene himself may have been too far gone mentally to be suffering, but that poor dog suffered greatly.

I live alone and even though I'm perfectly healthy I bought self-filling water and food dishes for my dog and I make sure they stay topped up. If my brain were to abruptly explode someday for some unknown reason I want to be sure she'll be okay for however long it takes for my friends to come over and check on why I'm not answering any communication.

"If you don't stop trying to defend yourself from me I'm gonna attack you!" Yeah, that's really reassuring.

Wasn't he just a nut who had decided to shoot anyone who was really famous, and Donald just happened to come to town that day?

There are so many things about this timeline that are just dumb. My suspension of disbelief is broken. I want to subscribe to a different one.

I mean, I guess we'll see. Donald just spews out whatever comes to his spongey brain at any given moment.

I've long thought that even if Russia is supporting Donald, that doesn't really make Donald Russia's "operative." That gives far too much credit to Donald. He never keeps any agreement he's made for one second longer than he thinks it's personally benefiting him.

Canada is actually in a pretty good position, geographically, if you ignore the fact that our two immediate neighbours are hostile powers bent on conquering our land and taking our resources. We can get involved in both Atlantic alliances and Pacific alliances. All we need to do is survive long enough to get those nicely sorted, and rebuild our strength after having America yank the rug out from under us.

The election shouldn't have been close enough to steal.

I'm not making any statements about what other people may think about it. The question was why this guy is doing this thing, and I expect it's because he finds it fun.

I've seen plenty of weird bots on Reddit over the years that had no point to their existence other than, presumably, having been fun to code. This is probably one such.

Right, and this is presumably something he finds fun. You were asking why, I was explaining why.
