Absolutely correct. Who had the largest empire in history with colonies all over the world, plus millions of black slaves and Indian, Chinese, and Iri...

I think you have some serious comprehension problems there. My exact words were: As stated already, there is no logical requirement to assume that eve...
March 12, 2022 at 16:21
On the contrary, there is no requirement, logical, legal, or otherwise, to assume that there might be "a will to restore Russian empire borders" in th...

Jesus - Wikipedia At any rate, the evidence indicates that Jesus spoke Greek and made use of Hellenistic cultural elements because that was the common...

Well, if that's what you think then you're on the wrong thread here! :lol: The OP states in clear and unambiguous terms:

I think it's self-explanatory. Why would Russia invade Ukraine if it had no reason to do so? PS You can google the Finnish translation if you don't un...
March 12, 2022 at 12:53
I still tend to believe that Russia would have taken no action if its demands had been met from the start. When Putin said that Russia had no intentio...
March 12, 2022 at 12:34
Absolutely. That's why Putin created the World Bank, IMF, G7, WEF, WTO, NATO, EU, Twitter, Facebook, etc., etc. which, incidentally, all are headquart...

That rumor was actually true. That's why the population of Africa has gone up from 500 million in the 1980's to currently 1,4 billion and growing! Was...
March 11, 2022 at 22:42
It doesn't. But it's a good indicator of the intelligence levels of the anti-Russia brigade. I think America’s plan to build a world empire through or...
March 11, 2022 at 22:33
On the contrary, the "mobius strip" is entirely yours. The scholarly position is that Greek was widely spoken in Roman Galilee, therefore Jesus himsel...

I think what @RogueAl is trying to say is that only fanatical Russia-haters should be allowed to take part in this discussion .... :smile: Incidentall...
March 11, 2022 at 19:19
Well, there is no smoke without fire. If Ukraine had biological weapons, it would have labs in which it developed them. If it has the labs, it still h...
March 11, 2022 at 18:08
Right. So, that torpedoes your spurious claim that NATO is "defensive". By your own admission, NATO is defending its own interests by attacking countr...
March 11, 2022 at 17:56
IMO it is absolutely crucial to understand the status of Greek in the Roman Empire. The Italic Peninsula itself had been colonized by Greeks for many ...
March 11, 2022 at 17:26
Interestingly, the WHO has advised Ukraine to destroy high-threat pathogens housed in the country's labs to prevent "any potential spills" that would ...
March 11, 2022 at 16:00
True. But there is no sign of US-UK agreeing to this, and that's because they want NATO and the EU to keep expanding all the way to Siberia after whic...
March 11, 2022 at 15:44
"Best solution" considering the current situation on the ground. I'm pretty confident the Russians can take the eastern half and make the Dnieper thei...
March 11, 2022 at 15:37
That's the big question. Zelensky is a professional TV actor (comedian, to be more precise) with no experience of politics or statesmanship whatsoever...
March 11, 2022 at 15:26
Yes. IMO the best solution would be for Ukraine to be divided fairly between the two sister nations. Russia should take everything east of the Dnieper...
March 11, 2022 at 15:08
As stated many times, that claim has long been debunked and exposed as a lie. NATO does attack anytime it serves US interests to attack, as in Serbia ...
March 11, 2022 at 15:03
Zelensky has dug himself into a hole (or grave). My guess is that he was prompted by his oligarch masters (Kolomoisky & Co) to stand up to Russia in t...
March 11, 2022 at 14:26
Met with skepticism? With a former lawyer like Biden and tech oligarchs in charge, the best bet is to completely ignore them. Except, perhaps, to have...
March 11, 2022 at 13:55
And if you do it in the West you get attacked by the media and by the brainwashed mobs in the streets. Anyway, that is not the point. The point is tha...
March 11, 2022 at 13:48
That's exactly what the US (and their British Poodle) are doing, too. They establish a narrative and then they act: Propaganda in the United States - ...

March 10, 2022 at 23:27
Theoretically, anything is possible. However, Greek was universally spoken in the eastern parts of the Roman Empire because the region had been under ...
March 10, 2022 at 23:04
That’s exactly what I’m saying. “Guessing”, i.e., making things up. :grin: Obviously, you are free to imagine anything you want. I for one see no “res...
March 10, 2022 at 22:06
The way I see it, much of biblical scholarship seems to be stuck in the 1940’s when Israel was controlled by Marxists and there was an effort to dismi...
March 10, 2022 at 16:47
Sure. However, even if his "native tongue" was Aramaic, it does not follow that the language he used was always Aramaic. On the contrary, precisely be...
March 10, 2022 at 14:28
So, would you agree with @Joe Mello's statement "Jesus said “take and eat”, “take and drink”, and he said it in Aramaic"?
March 10, 2022 at 13:56
Great. And part of your scholastic education was to make evidence-free statements?
March 10, 2022 at 13:26
I agree, they seem to be particularly open to Marxism, Atheism, and Islam. Though not necessarily in that order .... Just out of curiosity, is that wh...
March 10, 2022 at 12:52
And I would not support Russia's use of nukes, except in retaliation for America's use of nukes. Having said that, if Russia (or anyone else) dropped ...
March 10, 2022 at 01:40
The "resemblance" is very interesting, indeed. But could it be that it's only in your mind? IMO, if anything, the swastika looks more like two stylize...
March 10, 2022 at 01:32
Well, I don't recall ever saying that I "support Russia". The point I've been making is that Crimea is more Russian than Ukrainian. And that Europe be...
March 10, 2022 at 01:02
To be quite honest, I think most of them still don’t know anything except what they are being fed by the media. Opinion polls conducted by the Carnegi...

Don't worry, if you tell us the Finnish original we'll look up the Swedish translation for you :wink: Not only do they know very little (which is prob...

In Germany, both the “far-right” (AfD) and “far-left” (Die Linke) have close links to Moscow. If mainstream opinion is strongly against Russia, then s...

March 09, 2022 at 00:50
:grin: Well, at this stage anything is possible. Sometimes it takes more courage to make peace than to make war. In any case, if the conflict goes on ...
March 08, 2022 at 22:29
It’s a well-known fact that the West backs political groups in Russia and Russia backs political groups in the West. And Russia also backs far-left We...
March 08, 2022 at 21:47
BTW, Russia’s embarrassing performance on the ground in Ukraine seems to be explained by the widespread corruption that has resulted in billions inves...
March 08, 2022 at 20:30
Apparently, Zelensky has said he is prepared to consider Putin’s four-point request. Obviously, Zelensky is a professional actor, but unless this is s...
March 08, 2022 at 17:52
I thought we already had a pro-NATO thread (see Ukraine Crisis), so I for one fail to see how having two is going to make the discussion "more objecti...
March 08, 2022 at 16:39
Correct. Russia may be behind in high-tech and, apparently, in conducting large-scale military operations (which, incidentally, isn’t Putin’s fault bu...
March 08, 2022 at 15:44
I think there is a tendency on the pro-NATO side to argue either (a) that there are no neo-Nazis in Ukraine or (b) that the threat they pose is insuff...
March 07, 2022 at 14:45
The problem of Ukraine being “neo-Nazi” when President Zelensky and many Ukrainian oligarchs (Pinchuk, Kolomoyskyi, Bogolyubov, Khan, Surkis, Rabinovi...

So it seems. As I said from the start, Western oil and defense companies are going to make a huge fortune from this: British arms makers tool up for P...
