I first thought this was a bad idea by Paypal but you opened my eyes

Chat is this real

Furthermore, it’s not that the original scientists failed to produce true-color images. The original published images of Neptune had deliberately enhanced colors to better show some of the features of the cloud surface, and the description text of the images said as much. But that nuance was quickly forgotten and everybody just took the deep blue coloring to reflect the actual color of the planet, which spread to depictions of the planet everywhere.

People also often feed bread to birds, but bread is harmful to birds because it doesn’t provide the nutrients they need while filling them up so that they don’t go find more nutritious foods.

This is called the etymological fallacy

And I expect the browser is none of those things.

Sure then, if you want to call it that. But did it work? Were countries not invaded by the US thanks to Swedish appeasement?

What I’m saying is, if China and Russia truly cared about what the US is doing, they could choose to sanction the US and the West just like the West is doing to Russia right now. Like you say, China throwing their weight in would certainly have an influence.

Sure they would, but not as much as Russia doing the same but much closer to Sweden.

Maybe they should stop being such goody-two-shoes then if they want to have an influence in the world.

Wars “breaking out” like it isn’t Russia invading everybody else lmao

Now you lost me, surely Hitler was being appeased by the Allies allowing him to do things they would’ve preferred him not to do?

Ah yes, Russia and China, so well known for following international law to the letter.

It’s not appeasement if the party being “appeased” is not opposed to you to begin with.

Because the US geopolitical goals and actions, while often reprehensible, generally speaking aren’t against Swedish interests, whereas Russia is a much more direct threat to Sweden.

Why does China keep appeasing the US by not sending weapons to support Russia?

Can you explain why Russia and China haven’t sanctioned the US if they are so opposed to what the US is doing?

Also funny how this “appeasement never works” fanaticism never applies to NATO and it’s members

Yeah, funny how Russia, China and friends haven’t sanctioned the US and other countries. They have the full right to do that instead of continuing to appease them.

Russia can’t conquer even a quarter of Ukraine, and they still invaded Ukraine. Sweden and Finland know that Russia can’t conquer them, and that knowledge has made them stay neutral in the past. But Russia has just shown with Ukraine that they might try anyway just because, and it’s a huge pain in the ass for Ukraine and for everybody else in Europe too. So it’s only natural that Sweden and Finland would like to avoid even being tried to be conquered by Russia.

And like we can see, the Russian invasion of Ukraine also impacts France, the UK, and Canada. It’s not that these countries have decided to brainlessly follow the US. They want to support other countries who are at more risk of being invaded by Russia because countries being invaded by Russia is a huge pain in the ass for everybody in the region, not just the country being invaded. So their foreign policy goals simply happen to line up with the US goals.

Ah yes the US foreign policy of “not being invaded by Russia”
