Disagree with you on whether this conflict is the opening salvo in WWIII? Have you heard the term "non sequitur" before, by chance?
I'd say I'm quite well-informed. My first response to you was a short geopolitical analysis of why we're not teetering on the edge of a third world war. None of which you addressed in any meaningful way beyond more hyperbole, I can't help but notice.
Again, is there some reason you react so viscerally when someone doesn't validate your opinions? Is there some reason you can't, oh I don't know, discuss things civilly without attacking the person who disagreed with you as naive or uninformed?
Edit: And after reading your edits to your post, no, my response was not "beyond rude". I said your assertion was "a teensy bit hyperbolic, in my opinion". That's not being rude, that's commenting on your assertion. Your assertion, not you.
You then responding that I'm "naive", implying that I'm ill-informed, and making a snarky comment about video games, on the other hand, was rude. That's not going after my argument, that's going after me personally.
I'd ask if you can see the difference but I suspect it would be a pointless question.
