I disagree. Macron is not stating the obvious. He's talking about discussing "security guarantees" for Russia. And as far as I know these are the secu...
Meanwhile, leaked Kremlin poll shows 55% of Russians want to see negotiations with Ukraine to end the war: report https://money.yahoo.com/leaked-kreml...
I don't know how much Macron's position on this war is conditioned by domestic politics. I understand his foreign affairs moves more as aiming at gain...
Not sure about the explanatory power of this premise. It's not clear to me to what extent one can determine the way we are prior to determining what w...
Acknowledging that Russia had reasons to wage war against Ukraine the way Russia did so far based on whatever has been declared by Russian representat...
"Belief" as a factual cognitive attitude doesn't entail any other beliefs, since entailment pertains to the domain of semantic and logic normativity. ...
Your position looks contradictory, here is why: on one side, you claim that extrinsic truths depend on intrinsic truths (that I assume you would call ...
Can you quote anybody here talking about the US as "some spreader of peace and love"? Maybe it's your notion of "sovereignty" which is foolish. Indeed...
The facts I listed are relevant to establish whether your argument is fallacious. Your stats aren’t. The expression “controlling a territory” was more...
Your argument doesn’t make any sense: first, the premise “Since ‘Ukrainian' is not a natural kind, it's not a subspecies, or a genetic type” doesn't s...
Agreed. But it's interesting to keep an eye on, since not only Russia is reluctant to return the occupied Kuril Islands to Japan but it also started m...
But I wasn’t talking about the American invasion of Iraq, I was talking about Russian invasion of Ukraine. To repeat it once more: I listed facts that...
Meaning? Same steamy pile of shit as usual: First, you keep repeating that I made a strawman argument. Do you know what strawman argument means? Expla...
Here: Then neither Russia nor you learnt well. First of all the act of “defiance” which I’m interested in must be assessed wrt the subjects supporting...
Why strawman? You are contrasting "maverick attitude" with "some sort of act of defiance", as if if they were incompatible, while Russia can be descri...
And that objection is supposed to prove an “obvious error” I committed?! Are you crazy?! Aside from the fact that it fails to land anywhere near the t...
What was exactly that I reduced before reducing it? Can you spell it out? Can you quote me? Indeed I said a lot more than "Russia broke international ...
BTW, if you agree with all I wrote, then why did you write the following claim? Why "nonsensical"? why "error"? All that sounds contradictory with you...
Probably, from past experience (and this quotation confirms it), when pushed or catastrophically fail to understand and rebut on rational grounds, you...
He didn't point any "obvious error". You can't even clarify what the error is, as he couldn't. But I understand that as his sidekick you should try to...
From November 1 to December 31, 2022, call up for military service citizens of the Russian Federation aged 18 to 27 years who are not in the reserve a...
Until you provide a reliable accounting model estimating how much military budget the US must spend wrt its security goals and geopolitical ambitions ...
What error are you blabbering about? Why nonsensical? Why "clearly"? First, if you are talking about international law, it should be a resolution with...
What?! You are evidently confused. In the quoted claims of mine the word "valid" is taken as qualifying "justification" (not "assertion") Sure, dude, ...
So what? First of all American violations, withdrawals, refusal to ratify or to sign, undermining of international law that your piece of propaganda h...
I would include North America, EU, UK, Norway most certainly. “Overspending” in what sense? Not wrt their GDP. As by comparison with other countries, ...
What is "far removed from actual possibility”? I’m talking about things that happened and are happening. Besides the West is not just the US. Demograp...
You preposterously chopped my quotation ( Valid deductions preserve truth, if premises are true ) to suggest a contradiction which doesn't exist. How ...
You switched back to what the Ukrainians want. But we wanted to consider all other players too. Russia is not the only other player. There is also the...
Russia risks becoming ungovernable and descending into chaos https://www.economist.com/the-world-ahead/2022/11/18/russia-risks-becoming-ungovernable-a...
If you want to have a fair intellectual debate on matter of morality you have to be ready to explicit your own set of conditions and your own reasons ...
If you do not clarify what you consider "moral ground" vs "non-moral ground" and "moral right" vs "non-moral right", "moral duty" vs "non-moral duty" ...
I think that polarization is inevitable as well as the risk of being perceived by other interlocutors as serving somebody else's political agenda (imp...
Evidently you have no fucking clue what you are talking about. Valid deductions preserve truth, if premises are true, but that doesn't require nor imp...
Slantchev's blog (https://slantchev.wordpress.com/) is plenty of good reads against the pundits (e.g. Mearshemier, Walt, Kupchan) cited by the pro-Rus...
What does dignity have to do with land to you? Consider the case of, Kurds and Palestinians, they are fighting against much greater regional foreign p...
The Russians invade (see? we told you! NATO is to blame), Russia captures nearly a third of Ukraine (Kyiv in 3 days, let Putin have it!), Russia stall...
You wrote: My question is: why do you think that "Ukraine is going to have to give up more land" is not a palatable view? Don't you think that "Ukrain...
I find your objections intelligible as farts, dude. As I stated, mine is just a proposal which must be judged on its own merit (consistency and explan...
