I have no idea why you call it a caricature then. In what way what I wrote distorts your claims? When I'm accusing you and others to make a caricature...

No dude, that's not a caricature at all. Quote a claim of yours that contradicts it. It should be pretty easy for you to do it, since mine is a very g...

The problem is not what we know but what we can infer from it. Then how many exactly? Tell me exactly how you made the calculation.

You dudes think to make a point just by caricaturing opponents' views. That's intellectually abhorrent. You are campaigning against your own intellect...

Prigozhin's mutiny smells so much as a Russian feint and exquisite irony that the "US ordered Ukraine not to use mutiny in Russia to stage provocation...

It really doesn't matter if it wasn't a coup (which also some Russian nationalist commentators believe it was). Prigozhin came close to Moscow (after ...

The same goes with "he’s interested in taking Kyiv for the purpose of regime change. O.K.?" The point is that "threaten" doesn't mean "feint" or "dive...
June 10, 2023 at 11:33
also "threatening to capture Kiev" can still be compatible with the idea of forcing a regime change. It doesn't obviously mean that Russia was making ...
