It's never too late. If Ukrainians can resist Russia in Ukraine, Europeans can resist America in Europe. It's just a matter of Europeans uniting again...

Flying over Slovenia? That's NATO troops and materiel being flown to Poland, Lithuania, and other places. From US bases in Italy ....
February 26, 2022 at 13:22
Yeah, because "France is doing this" that means Britain isn't doing it. Great logic there, congrats! :grin:
February 26, 2022 at 13:05
You can add this as well (among other things if you take a few minutes to do some research): Hacktivists Plot Attacks on Russia With Ukraine Governmen...

Britain has already admitted arming Ukraine: Boris Johnson news - live: Putin’s plans ‘go way beyond Ukraine’, minister warns as UK to boost arms supp...

Of course, what else could it be? I think people can decide for themselves, though .... :smile:

There is no point reading Pali suttas if you can’t read the writing on the wall in the real world. Biden is a senile old man on medication who wants t...

Sorry, Foolo, but I am not Euthyphro, and you are not Socrates, except perhaps in your dreams! Regards to the northern cardinal and your fellow Christ...
February 25, 2022 at 21:59
Well, if Italy is not a legitimate nation state after 160 years, then Ukraine is even less legitimate after only 30 years. Incidentally, Germany may n...

The "facts" according to the text, Einstein! :lol: Anyway, I think you’re exerting your brain cells rather too hard and, God forbid, at your age it mi...
February 25, 2022 at 19:58
I agree. This particular debating platform seems ill-suited for some fact-based, objective analysis ....
February 25, 2022 at 19:19
The issue was whether in historical terms "Ukraine" is (a) a separate state or (b) part of Russia. The evidence seems to be in favor of (b). The quest...
February 25, 2022 at 19:10
You are obviously confused, if not worse. I never affirmed absolutely nothing. It was YOU who affirmed (1): I was arguing (2) i.e., influence, solely ...
February 25, 2022 at 18:50
Unfortunately, that was only one of the motivations and not even the decisive one. The main motivation was the drive for hegemony that America imposed...
February 25, 2022 at 18:13
That was precisely what I was referring to and I’m glad you are beginning, however belatedly, to grasp the basic elements of the NT narrative and of C...
February 25, 2022 at 17:14
Yeah, right. Maybe you should read my comments first as I responded to that a long time ago! :grin: If you still don't understand, do let me know and ...
February 25, 2022 at 13:50
I see. Now I understand where your confusion comes from! :grin: You haven't read the actual NT text, presumably due to spending too much time posting ...

Ukraine: Germany and Italy have ‘disgraced themselves’ over Russia sanctions, Donald Tusk says – The Independent So maybe America’s Euro-Atlantic Empi...
February 25, 2022 at 12:24
I agree. It isn't impossible that the West will eventually declare war on Russia as it did with Germany in the other two world wars. Some UK politicia...
February 25, 2022 at 12:12
Yeah, his "evidence" is the irrelevant pics he keeps posting and the pro-NATO propaganda he keeps parroting. The reality is he's got anti-Russian issu...
February 25, 2022 at 11:56
Here is an interesting article on China's view of Ukraine: China denies Russia has invaded Ukraine amid fears of a tipping point to new world order – ...
February 25, 2022 at 11:11
I think that would be self-evident.
February 25, 2022 at 10:32
Obviously, the definite article “the” does not exist in Ukrainian or Russian. My guess is that English “the Ukraine” comes from German “die Ukraine” o...
February 25, 2022 at 10:19
What Putin was trying to say is that territories like Ukraine had been part of Russia under the czars and only became "countries", i.e., Soviet Republ...
February 25, 2022 at 03:05
Well, I disagree. And if you have such unshakable belief in "scholarship", then you don't need to discuss it here. You can email your favorite scholar...
February 25, 2022 at 01:28
Correct. But then America has people of European, Native American, African, Latin American descent, etc., each group with their own culture. As for Ru...
February 25, 2022 at 01:15
You're kidding, right? It was others that inserted bits of comments from other discussions for their own agendas and started calling me names for no r...
February 25, 2022 at 00:59
:up: That's one way of looking at it. Unfortunately, Russia has too many enemies to afford to lose any more territory or influence. It doesn't make se...
February 25, 2022 at 00:42
Yeah, and you sound like someone who's got nothing to do. Anyway, have a nice day!
February 25, 2022 at 00:16
You've really lost me now. What has that got to do with Hellenistic influence on Jesus?
February 25, 2022 at 00:09
As I've said before Putin doesn't want to restore the Soviet Union. He's said that himself many times: Understanding Putin’s narrative about Ukraine i...
February 25, 2022 at 00:01
Well, that's your point of view. And why are you speaking in parables? What do you mean by "testimony"??? P.S. As you can see, Foolo is implying that ...
February 24, 2022 at 23:20
That's supposed to be MY fault??? I didn't write the Hebrew Bible, did I??? Plus, you mean the God of the Hebrew Bible is "not good" or "not God"??? :...
February 24, 2022 at 23:16
What "testimony"??? And how is it my "cowardice" if you are too lazy to look it up???!!! Are you guys related by any chance?
February 24, 2022 at 22:42
That's the standard interpretation in Platonism. There is nothing I can do about it. And neither can you .... :grin:
February 24, 2022 at 22:37
Google it and find out if you don't know.
February 24, 2022 at 22:26
The "Good is God" according to Plato, NOT according to me! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
February 24, 2022 at 22:23
Good of you to admit it! :smile: As to the rest, I've already explained that many times over. Ehrman doesn't believe in the Christian God and he has m...
February 24, 2022 at 21:52
That's what Biden says, but Biden doesn't have a clue. He just repeats what he's being told by his advisers. Putin wants to rebuild Russia as a great ...
February 24, 2022 at 21:17
Correct. However, it remains a fact that huge profits were made in the two world wars. Britain declared war on Germany in both wars, but the real prof...
February 24, 2022 at 21:09
Personally, I have no particular interest in demonstrating Greek influence on Jesus beyond language, as I believe that different cultures have suffici...
February 24, 2022 at 20:47
Any particular reasons that make Russia's justification greater than Iraq?
February 24, 2022 at 20:35
Of course it's a mess. And we need to ask ourselves who is profiting from it. According to the FT, oil prices are now above $100 a barrel, and gold an...
February 24, 2022 at 20:24
What I am arguing is, indeed, well-known. Unfortunately, you chose to deny it: The truth of the matter, of course, is that Hellenistic influence went ...
February 24, 2022 at 20:03
The key to understanding Russia's problem is the Black Sea, as admitted even by Ukrainians: In Ukraine invasion, Russia targets control of the Black S...
February 24, 2022 at 19:36
I think the main problem is that there are large numbers of people all over Europe who are sufficiently brainwashed and zombified to not realize that ...
February 24, 2022 at 19:00
Yeah and you aren't paying attention to I'm saying, are you? What I'm saying is that to get to the truth we need to eliminate the untruth in the form ...
February 24, 2022 at 17:39
It is hard to tell what exactly is going on on the ground unless you are there. But both sides have been firing at each other for eight years, and in ...
February 24, 2022 at 16:47
Well, he doesn't need to actually believe it. Russia needs a motive for its actions, like everyone else. It's kind of standard practice. Remember NATO...

1. Financial profit, forcing Europe to buy American oil and gas instead of Russian. 2. America sees Europe as its backyard. 3. America and its British...
