Forcing people to adopt an alien lifestyle they are opposed to is the worst form of transgression short of killing them.
Putin is very opposed to LBGT issues and racial equality that many liberals support. He didn't attack Ukraine because of those issues. He attacked because he believed that NATO was coming to Ukraine. Wars are never fought over petty issues like sexual preferences. Give me historic evidence to support your view.

All humans behave in conformity of their social conditioning. Your behaviour is largely determined by the social context you find yourself in. You don't start fondling and kissing your partner simply because you became aroused in a public place. You reserve those intimate moments to a private area where it's socially acceptable.

Some of the arguments that have been used against LGBQ people are outrageous. It has been claimed that they will start making out in public and cause a public debacle that will embarrass everyone. Isn't this a good example of a straw man argument?

my bedsitter analysis.
The first step to win a war is thru propaganda. Ukraine and the west have done it successfully. Since this thread was posted, I dont think the Russian forces have made significant progress as they had done earlier. I guess the Ukraine has given significant amount of resistance, maybe more than Russia had anticipated.

What happens when Russia depletes substantial amount of weaponry, when Ukraine is being funded and getting reinforced by the whole west? Wameekewa economic sanctions all over na itakuwa ridiculous if all they'll do is fight for the next 6 months.
If Putin doesnt win this in the next few days, naona ka itakuwa NATO win.

Hapo sasa my street analysis says china and north korea will team up and support Russia. If you read history Chinese folks were instrumental in repelling back the US led forces in the korea war that led to establishment of the current state.

Juzi China voted to be neutral. Korea ni kujichocha. I don't think they can be allies to Russia

Not about to happen, 1st they had stock piles, 2nd they manufacturer their weapons at home.

I dont think the Russian forces have made significant progress as they had done earlier. I guess the Ukraine has given significant amount of resistance, maybe more than Russia had anticipated.
This I believe is true, but the next course of action for Russia might be like what happened in Grozny, flattening cities. I doubt they would opt for street by street fights

Bank runs have started in Russia, next will be inflation, then shortage of basic items. Now both countries are under pressure to have good-will negotiations

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บโšกToday, a decision will be made on the introduction in the Russian Federation from February 28 of the mandatory sale of foreign currency in the amount of 80% of revenue for residents, the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation said.

I believe that today during the day there will be several serious decisions at once that will change many things in the Russian economy. Of course, the matter will not be limited to the rate and mandatory sale of foreign exchange earnings.
