Record-and-replay debuggers like rr and UndoDB are designed for exactly this scenario. In fact it's way better than logging; with logging, in practice, you usually don't have the logs you need the first time, so you have to iterate "add logs, rerun 600 times" several times. With rr and UndoDB you just have to reproduce once and then you'll be able to figure it out.
In Afghanistan? Unlikely to be hundreds of thousands of civilians killed by Americans/allies. https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/costs/human/civilians/af... says "at least 71,000 civilians killed" and many of those would have been killed by other side(s).
"Justified"? Probably not, but we'd have to determine what alternative actions America/allies should have taken instead and compare.
I mean, "avoid all US-caused civilian deaths by letting AQ continue to operate from Afghanistan with impunity after 9/11" would not obviously have been the right thing to do.
Even if you're right, Eastern European countries would be stupid to put their trust in Russian dictators staying benevolent. They were smart and joined NATO.
The US-supported Afghan government wasn't worse than the governments before or after it.
South Korea's an interesting example. It was a dictatorship, now it's a thriving democracy. Ditto for Japan, Taiwan, West Germany. Sometimes things turn out alright.
Interesting. I can open it fine. Here's some relevant text:
> So, I will start with the fact that modern Ukraine was entirely created by Russia or, to be more precise, by Bolshevik, Communist Russia. This process started practically right after the 1917 revolution, and Lenin and his associates did it in a way that was extremely harsh on Russia – by separating, severing what is historically Russian land.
Read the whole thing. If you're going to defend Russian policy online you should have a clear idea what you're defending.
Nonsense. NATO will never risk nuclear war unless Russia attacks a NATO country first.
If NATO was willing to risk attacking Russia, they would already be fighting in Ukraine, which is a much lesser risk. They'll arm Ukraine but they won't fight there.
The US spent many billions of dollars feeding Afghanistan, building infrastructure, educating its people, and trying to protect them (especially women) from the Taliban. It didn't work, unfortunately.
