We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

If Ukraine falls, it makes Russia more likely to invade other places, and it makes China more likely to invade Taiwan.
We can either end this war now by punishing Russia enormously, or the war grows to become WW3.
Maybe our NATO allies should have spent that 2% as was suggested.
We need to prepare for Taiwan, where we have a verbal agreement.
I have no issues sending weapons to Ukraine but it can't be at the expense of Israel and Taiwan.
I am 100% against sending boots on the ground unless they keep attacking nuclear plants. That is an attack on humanity.
Fuck Israel, they’re genocidal dipshits. They don’t deserve aid.
According to our government they are not. We also have strong support for Israel. We have to meet our obligations else others won’t take us seriously.
If you feel our support is unjustified. Write your senator. Israel has a special relationship with America and right or wrong, I don’t see that changing.
I don’t believe everything the government tells me. Do you?
That’s such a weird question. No but I don’t see a mass order or genocide and the government validates what I’m perceiving.
I asked it because your last response was essentially “the government says it’s ok so it’s ok”.
It’s ok if that’s how you feel and you agree with the government on this. But “the government said so” is not a very strong argument to make.
Governments can and frequently are wrong. That’s why the founding fathers decided to create their own.
The government validates all the lies I’ve heard about a genocide. It confirms what I already thought was true
That’s called a confirmation bias.
No, it's called validation. A confirmation bias is where you seek sources that agree with you.
Right, as you are doing here.
I know it stings to be wrong but there isn’t a genocide according to the government and most governments of the world. It’s weird you want to say they are wrong on Israel but right on Ukraine.
I know it stings to be wrong but just because the government refuses to call something what it is doesn’t mean the thing isn’t there.
I’m curious, what is your end goal by engaging in this thread? Cause you’re not convincing anyone of your take.
I will not convince people who are disconnected from the real world. My goal is to make sure the truth is out in the open.
Sure bud. I’m the disconnected one for recognizing any kind of killing is morally wrong. 😑 You’re the correct one with your head as buried in the sand as our neoliberal overlords because they say it’s ok.
So the Ukrainians are morally wrong for killing Russians? I don’t think so.
Morally, yes all killing is wrong. But in that situation there is no real “correct” choice other than to defend themselves.
Are Russians trying to take Ukraine and actively invading their land? Yes. Therefore their killing isn’t “right” but it’s justified.
Is Hamas trying to take Israel and actively invading their land? No? Then why tf is Israel killing innocent civilians?! I get Hamas started it but they are not continuing to invade like Russia is to Ukraine.
One of these things is not like the other….
