Sunday’s successful blockade run could signal to international shippers that it’s reasonably safe to resume operations from Ukrainian ports.

This is extremely simplified and comes off as silly. German appeasement was partially because France and Britain wanted Germany to attack the USSR, partially because they needed time to rearm. The US empire had a policy of provocation and containment of the Japanese empire.
In the era of nuclear powers wars are done with non nuclear proxies to avoid a nuclear exchange.
WW2 was pre-nuclear weapons. It turns out that changing material conditions makes old responses inappropriate.
We stopped selling them oil and steel, that’s it. After they butchered and butchered China including the rape of Nanking.
Dude, look in the mirror, you need to live with that person and you’re excusing the crimes of Unit 731.
Not a dude, stop assuming everyone on the internet is.
The pacific theater were two extremely violent empires duking it out.
A) Do you think the US hasn’t done worse than the rape of Nanking and Unit 731?
B) The US policy of containing Japan and economically provoking them does not mean that Japan was justified, it is simply the lead up to war between two incredibly violent factions competing over the same resources.
Show me something we did on that level, not acts of war like bombings, but actual monstrous cruelty on that level.
We’re still doing Guantanamo Bay. Abu graib is another one. If youre looking for direct comparisons. We also went around teaching puppet governments how to torture dissidents.
Not to mention that we saved the Unit 731 scientists for their expertise.
Oh my god. Gitmo, compared to Unit 731.
You need to read some history.
I have. The US is much better at keeping its prisoners alive so they can be tortured longer, but they have had longer to practice and Unit 731’s notes.
If youre not willing to accept that, we could also go with the tuskegee experiment, nuclear testing around indigenous communities and then studying the results or agent orange, killing millions of people over the last twenty years, special forces routinely kidnapping and raping to death minors around US military bases, whatever floats your boat
Still not as bad, oh it’s serious stuff, but not on the level of 731.
You need to read more.
I’ve read a lot about it actually. I wonder if maybe you haven’t read a lot about what the US has done to its prisoners.
Also are you really saying unit 731 was worse than killing 4 million vietnamese, or helping pol pot kill a quarter of his country, or killing 20 percent of all Koreans and installing a military puppet in the south? Or using sanctions to cause mass starvation of an entire country that we’ve spent twenty years occupying or destroying?
Great, then we’ll give Ukraine F-35s, F-22s, B-1Bs, swarms of Predators and Reapers and be on our way then.
See how easy it is to proxy war Zelensky right into Moscow with a smile.
There are no “Rules” to war, people do what they do and you have to be ready for it. Putin made a catastrophic error and we have to prepare for all eventualities, both good and bad, which means para bellum.
Sure, why not? And while we are at it why not some white elephants?
Also predators and reapers are meant for asymmetric operations where your opponent doesn’t have AA or an airforce.
If you want to give Ukraine an advantage and continue the bloody war just make more artillery shells.
