Maybe I’m less principled than the rest of you, but regardless of drm or anti-cheat, this game is the most fun I’ve had with a group of friends. I’ve found the game playable with a few glitches here and there, but that hasn’t prevented me from having a great time.

That’s bullshit and a cop-out. Every country in NATO joined willingly because every country should have some level of self-determination. NATO grew because decade after decade, the Russian government proved that they act in bad faith in nearly every interaction with the international community.

Maybe if Russia acted in good faith and was willing to be a partner in the region, neighboring countries wouldn’t have felt the need to join NATO, but here we are.

Pacifism doesn’t work. We’ve seen it time and time again that it just buys our adversaries time, and we end up where we’re at today.
