Yes. After ten years. Nothing to do with me. But let's at least make sure our heads are not completely empty and admit we have propaganda too. Now hav...

Just saw your edit, and what? That's it. A hope on the basis of no evidence with no probability assigned because you don't "want to entertain any othe...

Can you deal with my post, please and give your analysis. I never said the war was justified (in fact I said the opposite from the start) or wasn't a ...

Not sure what's hilarious about giving me a Biden speech. But if you're happy with that and aren't willing to contribute anything beyond, ok.
March 24, 2022 at 22:40
Yes, I'm aware this is the Western propaganda line. You're literally parroting what we all read in Western newspapers every day. But apart from the fa...

Again, I'm not arguing they'll go through with it. Mostly because it would be a red line for China and India. But again, I expect scare tactics from R...

I taught academic English for over ten years. But I won't have to dig very far into that experience to clear this one up. Your use of will above perta...

I was talking about the future, not now. Is that too logical?

So, they can make one up. Again, I don't expect it to come to that but they know which buttons to push in more ways than one.

You can call Putin a banana for all I care if you can explain to me how this war can be ended without conceding to at least some of the Russian demand...

I don't expect Putin to use nuclear weapons but I do expect him to make us think he will if that's what it takes.

Every party has limitations but who do you think will take more pain before folding? Putin or the West? Who do you think is the tougher and more instr...
March 24, 2022 at 12:43
Yes, I think the danger is our media leading us to believe it's all going terribly for Putin and he's out of options blah blah blah. Meanwhile, Ukrain...

There's.a negative bloke in the middle? Kind of like a human shaped hole in spacetime? :chin:

Cool. Can you do this bit next? "shapeshifting aliens called Reptilians control the Earth."

Negative IQ. Interesing concept. Does that kick in when you eat the quiz rather than attempting to write on it?

My last dog was a Pomeranian. That died, so I got a hamster. That fucker died too. Done with pets.

Anyhow, the Rottweiler eventually hung itself and the Pitbull drowned in a flood or something. Can't even remember. There was general doggie carnage g...
March 23, 2022 at 22:31
Maybe. Although my gf used to own both a Rottweiler and a Pittbull and the Pitbull's name was 'Devil', so maybe not. :lol: The Rottweiler bit me once ...

The British have traditionally been racist towards the Irish too, e.g. the phrase 'That's a bit Irish' means 'That's stupid'. That doesn't amount to a...

Oh look, they multiply your IQ score 100x to calculate the rating. Cute. :starstruck:

March 23, 2022 at 18:58
But you don't want to talk to anyone who describes it as such? It's not a judgement but an observation btw. Anyway, it's cool. We both said our piece.
March 23, 2022 at 18:54
If you don't think Russia and the US can be described as 'traditional adversaries', you may very well be alone in this discussion. It's not a controve...

The missle placement is clearly a direct threat to Russian power. You can add layers to that if you like, but there is no fundamental reason for Russi...
March 23, 2022 at 18:26
No, my point was to ask you the same question. I suppose if you would feel threatened they might. I don't know of any studies that specific. We can ap...

The reason is to increase its military dominance, obviously. And if you can abnegate completely a country's nuclear deterrence e.g. through placing te...
