Not if the EU is dominated economically, financially, politically, and militarily by America. Don't forget that the EU doesn't even have its own armed...

I agree that the EU system is preferable to that of China, but I think "peaceful and democratic" is relative. Certainly, in demographic, cultural, and...

I'm sure there are, but many analysts and commentators have their own agendas and biases. Plus, Russia has never had any other kind of leader, so thou...

Sure, why use force of arms when it's much easier to use economic, financial, and legislative means? But, however implemented, the concept remains the...

Well, good on them. IMO they shouldn't have left in the first place and that Zelensky comedian should've listened to more pragmatic and experienced pe...

Apparently, it is "off topic" because @ssu says so ... :grin:

When (“Mr. Europe”) Paul-Henri Spaak signed the Treaty of Rome that established the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1957, the precursor to the EU...

Absolutely correct. If the EU and NATO hadn't insisted on unlimited expansion, Russia wouldn't have needed to take back Crimea and occupy Russian-spea...

I'm not sure what "Antiquity historians" has got to do with this, unless you are referring to those in the EU junta whose noses would fall off if Russ...

I never said Ukrainians shouldn't be asked, did I? But when it comes to something that affects Russia, or any other country, then I think it is proper...

Nonsense. He may or may not "run his country like a Mafia boss". That's pretty irrelevant given that this goes for most presidents across the globe, t...

The fact is that in 1957, when (“Mr. Europe”) Paul-Henri Spaak signed the Treaty of Rome that established the European Economic Community (EEC), the p...

It is generally accepted by scholars that, while Jesus was a historical figure, David and Solomon are legendary. And if David and Solomon are legendar...

The overwhelming evidence is (a) that the OT narrative is largely mythical and (b) that even its true teachings have been misinterpreted and misunders...

The anti-Christian position seems to be that Christianity is a criminal perversion of Judaism that shouldn’t have existed and must not be allowed to e...
March 31, 2022 at 22:33
To recap, it is beyond dispute that all or most of Jesus’ teachings are consistent with Hellenistic tradition which was on the rise at the time. Equal...

I think it depends on how we define "God". To some, God is ultimate reality. In Plato, the divine is associated with truth and knowledge (Republic 508...
March 28, 2022 at 01:40
Yep, let's look more closely at your confused and irrational statements! :lol: I said "he got killed by the Temple Taliban", i.e., by the high priest ...
March 28, 2022 at 00:56
According to Western propaganda, Russia is supposed to be a "totalitarian dictatorship". But, apparently, a unit of Russian riot police is suing its b...
March 27, 2022 at 19:23
Not only that, but Western dependence on the media’s mass-produced fake news has reached the point where people believe that facts don’t matter. As on...

When Alexander in 333 BC conquered the Persian Empire including what had earlier been the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, the country fell under Greek c...
March 27, 2022 at 17:24
I think it is obvious that you don’t know what you’re talking about. The fact is that the Temple Taliban lost and Hellenistic-influenced Christianity ...
March 27, 2022 at 17:23
Well, it's nice to see that you care about Ukrainians. I'm sure Ukrainians care a lot about their Australian brothers and sisters, too. However, IMO e...

Who is freezing Russia's foreign reserves, confiscating Russian assets, disconnecting Russia from SWIFT, denying Russia access to credit, etc., etc.? ...

1. I wasn't talking about the "causes" but about the fact that the West is currently waging economic warfare on Russia, as acknowledged by analysts. 2...

I'm not sure what you're referring to. But analysts do call it "economic war": The Toll of Economic War - Foreign Affairs The West is trying to destro...

You obviously have zero knowledge or understanding of textual criticism, archaeology, history, epigraphy, or anything else for that matter. I think I ...

I think the excessive focus on Ukraine should not be allowed to distract attention from the larger picture which is that this isn't just between Russi...

And I'm glad that you are glad. It could be worse .... :wink:
March 25, 2022 at 21:23
There are lots of inaccurate statements people make on forums. It's no different from other social media. Especially on a super-fast-moving thread lik...
March 25, 2022 at 21:21
That's probably right. But how many Russians do you see on this thread (or forum)? And, funny enough, you may see the mods as pro-Russian. but I tend ...

There is white, grey, black, and many other types of propaganda: White propaganda – Wikipedia Black propaganda - Wikipedia I don’t know about that par...

Correct. What is important to bear in mind is that the Chief Jihadi entity is America who created and leads NATO as an anti-Russian and anti-German or...

If a person’s presumed existence is unsupported by independent evidence, then that person is likely ahistorical. History has records of a pharaoh Ah-M...

From what I can see, the only one that is backpedaling here – to pre-kindergarten levels of discourse – is you! :rofl: For your information, Haaretz i...

You are confused. First they worshiped the Sun as God, then God as the Sun, and then God as God. And later some turned to Marx .... :smile: Nonsense. ...

Sure. The question remains though as to what Biden meant: Joe Biden talks about 'new world order' in Business Roundtable address - YouTube It seems to...
March 23, 2022 at 23:11
I see. Well, never mind, it's all a theory (or an old hat), anyways ... :smile:
March 23, 2022 at 22:55
Wow. I think his hat may be beginning to fall off now ... :wink:
March 23, 2022 at 22:48
It isn't "my" theory any more than it is yours. It's a political term that refers to world governance, as often used by Western (and sometimes other) ...
March 23, 2022 at 22:27
Not necessarily. I think a certain degree of objective observation and honesty is sufficient. There is no doubt that that derogatory terms are often u...
March 23, 2022 at 21:52
That's exactly why, personally, I prefer to analyze it in terms of a conflict between geopolitical spheres of interests. The "conspiracy" may or may n...

The OT says they did in the First Temple period! And you're obviously unable to grasp the concept of "Hellenistic Judaism". Regarding Hellenized synag...

Of course you are doing that, only so long as it's in line with YOUR idea of "arguing against the pro-NATO narrative". :smile: Anyway, carry on arguin...
March 23, 2022 at 17:16
I don't think that was what I was focusing on at all. On the contrary, my focus was on the larger picture which is the conflict between rival world po...
