Nice smear there, I'm supporter of ending this war because it's obvious that there's only one way it will end.

People's living standards are rapidly declining across Europe, and they're starting to connect this to the war spending. This isn't rocket science.

I mean did you sleep through US working with UK and Australia to put nuclear subs in Australia, what do you think the purpose of those subs is exactly?

So, what you're saying is that I should just stop engaging with your trolling. That's probably a good advice actually.

What a well reasoned counterpoint you've mustered.

I'm suggesting that it's entirely possible that the sterilization process for the mosquitoes they released wasn't foolproof, and rather than decreasing the population they ended up doing the opposite.

Definitely less ideal than it could be, and shows the problems that inequality creates where rich people end up hogging housing near subways while also using cars. Still, definitely much better than most places in North America.

I'm from Canada, and I see both usages. As the article says, colloquial usage tends to be one word, but legalese usage will sometimes use two. In this case, I just took it straight from the article though.

It's not really possible to do in practice without absolutely astronomical subsidies from the government that's going bankrupt https://compactmag.com/article/fighting-a-chip-war-on-the-cheap

Given that Russia is obviously not going to stop the war, I'm not sure what constructive point you're trying to make here. Russia is also very clearly not worried about being able to export its commodities given that their exports are growing while their economy is projected to grow by the IMF. All the trade that Russia was doing with the west has now been replaced by trade with other countries. Meanwhile, pretty much all of the world outside the west has a positive view of Russia according to the recent reports produced by the EU and the US:

Calling whataboutism is a logical fallacy used to justify having a different set of standards for oneself and ones adversaries. It's not a serious argument. The west has positioned itself as having some sort of a high ground while doing the same and worse that it accuses Russia of doing. This isn't about vindicating anything, it's about having a consistent set of morals.
