Question: is there are reason why this thread nor the thread about Ukraine do not seem to appear in https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussions ? Is it...
Yet, as far as I’m concerned, your argument is pointing less to a specific problem of Ukraine than to a more general problem for democracies in war ti...
If your point is just about making a generic optimistic claim based on a counterfactual (indeed, THEY HAD THE CHANCE, unless by “if that chance would ...
I’ve lost you. What is the alternative reasoning that doesn’t add up? You didn’t bring anything that questions my views. My reasoning goes beyond the ...
To my understanding this is not a yes/no answer. According to some index, Ukraine is considered a hybrid/transitional regime (so neither a consolidate...
More good news ;) Trump 'encourages' Russia to attack NATO states not paying 'bills' https://www.euronews.com/2024/02/11/trump-encourages-russia-to-at...
But I was not arguing based on a counterfactual: namely, a fact that didn’t happen, but could have happened. I limited myself to argue for a possibili...
Even if direct and conventional confrontation between major powers as in WW2 must be avoided (for the reasons you suggest and also because the nuclear...
The promise wasn't to the Palestinians nor explicitly/specifically about Palestine, if you are referring to the Hussein-McMahon agreements (whose actu...
. You misunderstood. I was simply pointing out that in Ukraine, as in other democratic countries, presidents are entitled to hire/fire commanders-in-c...
Dude, you made all this effort to flood this thread with your self-serving pro-Russian ruminations from the start till now, you might as well finish t...
Zelensky's choice can be questioned and is controversial, given Zaluzhnyi's popularity, but that has nothing to do with totalitarianism or democracy: ...
I doubt that Luxemburg bears a sufficient diplomatic weight on both sides, compared to the Saudis which might benefit from stepping in and: - get cred...
I was referring to the kind of grievances the Arabs/Palestinians were voicing against the British since the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire. You ask...
Sure, trendy as all historical grievances are everywhere (while the contrition for such historical grievances seems particularly trendy ONLY in the We...
The "Logical problem of evil" can be enlightening in politics too: P1. If an omnipotent, omnibenevolent and omniscient X exists, then evil does not. P...
In what follows, I'm indirectly commenting to your last post too. If all those countries would just opt for peace, stability and prosperity in the reg...
Can you provide your evidence of Ukrainian Nazis who “have no hesitation to explicitly say their goal is a war with Russia and to destroy Russia”? Can...
I don’t find this image particularly enlightening. To me the power relation between the US and Israel isn’t best captured by the image of a wise fathe...
So you agree that denazification was basically Putin’s propaganda to dupe the Russian masses and the pro-Russian “useful idiots” in the West. All righ...
Yes denazification and Russian-speaking population, and blah blah blah from Putin were cosmetic, political seasoning. But such Russian propaganda argu...
Sure, but I’m more interested in ALL other alleged errors, though. OK if you wanna put it in these terms, let’s test your reading comprehension now: c...
That’s a problem indeed. But this problem may also depend on some implicit assumptions that mislead our understanding of the problem itself. For examp...
First, I do not trust your telepathic powers to read into other people’s mind, so when you claim “ that Russian ‘can't be trusted anyways’, is not som...
To me that’s just a straw man argument: first, you didn’t provide evidence that relevant Ukrainian, Russian, American politicians take “ ‘guaranteed’ ...
All right. I would still add that for both Palestinians and Israelis the problem is not just the idea of being historically wronged and dispossessed b...
As I said, I’m more into conceptual analysis, so I can be very picky about semantic ambiguities depending on how claims are worded. In your case, it s...
In other words, a big step toward nothing but enough for pro-Palestinians to claim there is reason to believe Israel may be is actually planning and/o...
Again this pro-Russian dude is forgetting EVERYTHING ELSE the people he cites are saying: security guarantees from the West and Bucha. And that the Is...
Do you mean that the pro-Palestinians can be happy for such ruling? It didn't demand an immediate ceasefire nor it condemned Israel for committing a g...
BTW, remember when the pro-Russian in this thread were rambling on how vital was Crimea for the Russian Black Sea Fleet ? And how obsessed they are ab...
Ukrainians and Russians settled the points ("a protocol of intentions") for a negotiation between Zelensky and Putin, but these points involved necess...
The complaint from Tzeench is completely idiotic since this proposal from Ukraine and Russia was STILL TO BE DISCUSSED WITH PUTIN, and needed a third ...

I’m quite skeptical about your last claim. Whom/what is “modern civilisation” referring to? Why does “modern civilisation” have a duty “for global sec...
By “mystification”, I simply meant referring to the intellectual obfuscation over core notions that are taken to be clear, obvious and shared. But may...
The first thing I would do, it's not to give for granted my understanding of their meaning. So I will ask myself: how would I identify and discriminat...
This issue (the word "genocide" was coined by a Jew and arguably an ardent Zionist http://www.aapjstudies.org/index.php?id=110) touches on several Wes...
People in such political threads, even mods, often forget that we are in a philosophy forum and at the very least philosophical investigation goes alo...
How can we call "the good Jews" and "the bad Jews"? They are both "Jews"! Very thorny philosophical problem. In the literature it's known as "the hard...
