Where?? Where did you even begin to explain this total and absolute nonsense? You can't just claim to have explained it without explaining anything.
The last I dunno, 7 or so comments as I reply to you question by question each time. The fact you're confused about that fact does actually explain some things though.
Cool, the last 7 of my comments contained conclusive proof that you were wrong.
Totally, except for having factual or logical basis in reality.
Are we going to add troll to that list as well just to prove that other guy fully right. You're the type of person that makes people laugh at .ml for being blindly idealist idiots.

Good talk. You were always looking to laugh at me no matter what I said or didn't say, that's why you spent the whole conversation trolling and claiming ridiculous nonsense and pretending like you'd defended it when you didn't explain a word of your reasoning the whole time. I don't know whether I ever entertained "Isolationism isn't isolationism" for a moment, you obviously only said it to troll from the start.
I provided literal definition.
I've elaborated multiple times.
You are acting like a troll.
I can't help but notice you didn't point out a lie, lack of clarity, misunderstanding nothing. You've cried and bitched for 6 messages now about how I'm so cruel and mean because I won't elaborate but you can't or won't point out a single thing you've not understood.
The point I don't understand is how my stance doesn't meet literally the exact definition of isolationism that you provided, in every single way, to a t. You have not explained a single link in your reasoning to arrive at that conclusion, all you've done is assert the conclusion over and over again with zero explanation, anywhere, whatsoever. Now you're repeatedly claiming that you've explained it, without being able to point to any explanation anywhere. And now, following your complete inability to defend your absurd position, you've resorted to just calling me a troll.
What an absolute clown.
You're a troll, we just went over all of those 6 times in the last two days.
And you can't help but insult people when you fail to defend shitty fucking argument that somehow cow towing to Russia won't end with Russia invading again exactly like the last time you goddamn moron.
Ed: also you called me a troll first you absolute fucking crybaby.
You were slinging insults at me from the very beginning when you called me an accelerationist, stupid, etc. You still cannot point to even a single word in a single comment where you explained anything. What a ridiculous conversation, why would you prefer to argue so much over whether you've explained your position when, if you had, you could simply point to where you explained it? Because you didn't explain it, so this is all you've got. Who are you even trying to fool at this point?
Not at all cry baby.
I've explained it literally every time, you can disagree with the explanation but you can't say it didn't happen or you prove yourself a liar.
I explained it the first 5 times, I'm not going to do it every 15minutes for the rest of my life. You aren't willing to accept reality, we've gone over this so I'm not going to bother explaining it anymore. Simply refer back to older comments, history and I dunno an encyclopedia maybe, I'm not sure but that's at least the right direction.
If I haven't explained it why are you even trying at this point and getting downvoted into oblivion.
I conclusively proved that everything I said is true 300 times. I will refuse to point to a specific comment or quote a single line where I did it once, but it definitely, 100% happened. So, that outweighs your 5 times easily. And before you try to say you explained it 301 times, I proved you wrong infinity+1 times.
Or we could not just say bullshit and actually back up our claims, with the expectation that if you claim to have done something, you can point to a specific line on a specific comment where you have done so. I'd prefer to do that, but if you wanna go with bullshit, then fine, I just don't know why either of us is still here then.
At this point, even if you could point to anywhere where you supposedly explained your reasoning, I would demand an explanation for why you've wasted so much time evading the question. This has been a completely unreasonable and unacceptable response to an extremely basic question. All you had to do was answer once and we wouldn't be doing whatever this is.
Once again, trying to have a serious, substantive discussion with a .worlder proves impossible because y'all compulsively lie and do not give a rat's ass about evidence, and when someone catches you doing it you just call them "crybaby" for calling it out.
Your friends aren't conclusive dumb dumb. Also no you haven't even tried. What exactly makes you think Russia won't invade again. Simple as.
You haven't provided anything dumb guy, you provided your feelings that fly in the face of facts.
Literally, the last what 15 comments dumb guy.
Trying to have a conversation usually involves , you know. Involvement. Now you won't shut the fuck up about your idealistic fucking feelings but won't listen with your goddamn face to facts that are unpleasant to your dipshit idealist stances.
Also I called you a crybaby because you were literally crying about name calling you started.
Lol I'm not going to continue this conversation as if you didn't spend the last 15 comments evading a simple question and lying by saying you already answered it.
Trying to talk with you is literally like Monty Python's argument clinic sketch.
"Is this the right room for an argument?"
"I already told you five times."
"No you haven't! Where?"
"Yes I did. I did it before."
"No, you didn't. When, where?"
"Yes I did. I said it before."
Absolute clown.
It's a simple question. They've invaded twice in twenty years both resulting in treaties they've broken. What exactly is the reason they will not invade again this time outside of your goddamn feelings.
Stop trying to change the subject to evade the question. How did you get from a definition that says "Isolationism is when you oppose intervention in foreign countries" to, "Opposing intervention in Ukraine is only isolationist if you are Ukrainian?" What exactly is your reasoning that brought you from point A to point B, and, furthermore, where are the "five times" that you laid out this reasoning? Give me every single one of the five or admit that you're wrong. I'm not going to continue the conversation and just allow you to weasel your way out of that, I will not engage on any other point until you answer that.
