Why the ellipsis? "The probability of a Ukrainian military victory - defined as kicking the Russians out of all of Ukraine to include what they claim ...
You are evidently confused. In the quoted claims of mine the word "valid" is taken as qualifying "justification" (not "assertion") for a perceptual be...
Of course, if there is an adequate legal codification behind the "security guarantees". Yet that doesn't imply that there will be justice to Ukrainian...
Guarantee in a sense of certainty doesn't exist anywhere with the reliability of a physical law or mathematical truth. "Guarantee" just expresses a fo...
Good summary of your neverending misunderstanding, troll. May view didn't evolve. Here is my statement: The best interest of both US and Soviet Union ...
Still a liar, my position didn't evolve. It's your understanding of it that did. Still in the wrong direction! Besides, the fact that you use a if-the...
I answered that already but maybe you didn't get it. There is no deduction or inference or conclusion since these concepts for me apply more appropria...
If you want to discuss about "preconditions" attributed to Zelensky ("discussing Zelensky and his preconditions for dozens of pages”) or “Zelensky's p...
First, in our exchange, you wasted all occasions to quote where Zelensky used the word "precondition" in support of your argument. Second, what may be...
What argument are you talking about? Quote yourself. First we have to agree on the notion of "justification", otherwise we are talking past each other...
That's why I have no pity for your intellectual misery. A sequel of nonsense one after the other: - I'm claiming that you keep misunderstanding my cla...
Quote whatever you think was my original claim so I can claim it again and then you explain its meaning to me, dude. Sure like a rational requirement,...
Here I claim it again: The best interest of both US and Soviet Union was calculated by taking into account the deterrence means they both had (but Ukr...
I wasn't arguing to support Christoff's understanding of Zelensky (I find Zelensky's attitude toward the missile incident questionable). I was arguing...
And what holds for US and Soviet Union doesn't necessarily hold for other countries not possessing such weapons, like Ukraine. I never said such a thi...
An attack can be called "ad hominem" and yet not be fallacious in the specific sense of: "A makes a claim x, B asserts that A holds a property that is...
Any possible military success in that direction is conditional on the military support the West provides to Ukraine. And I'm not sure the West will co...
I never denied making the claim you literally cite (quote where I did). I continuously denied that you literally understood my quotes and I still do (...
You keep quoting only the claim that triggered your misunderstanding without taking into account all my clarifications. But you misunderstood that quo...
That's not what I claimed. I'm not interested in claims, I'm interested in arguments. I'm not interested in claims, I'm interested in arguments. It ha...
Never made such a claim. Quote where I did. Besides, since when conceivable possibilities constitute evidence to falsify factual claims? Here: The imp...
Quote Zelensky. And then comment. Besides I didn't claim anywhere that I would use the word "pre-condition" the way Zelensky does. Saying that nothing...
For the sixth time, the general principle is the following: available deterrence means are taken into account by rational agents when engaging in nego...
Here: available deterrence means are taken into account by rational agents when engaging in negotiations. If you think that's what I claimed. You are ...
"The probability of a Ukrainian military victory — defined as kicking the Russians out of all of Ukraine to include what they claim as Crimea — the pr...
Right, and I took the case of the US and the Soviet Union both as a way to illustrate this general point, and to compare it to the hypothetical case o...
Dude, for the third time, you are mistaken about what I claim. I didn’t write anywhere that nuclear weapons is a “precondition of any agreement”. Mean...
Again that's not what I claimed. I didn't talk about the content of the agreement. Read carefully: The best interest of both US and Soviet Union was c...
You misunderstood my claim. I was referring precisely to the following condition: “each side saw it was in their best interest to avoid a large scale ...
Maybe Kherson is not as high priority as land access to Crimea, yet it has its strategic importance (i.e. securing freshwater canals to Crimea). Never...
I took a position about the notions of "justification" and "knowledge". Here: I think "justification" is a normative term, not a descriptive one. Addi...
Again, it depends on what one means by "justification". If justification must comply with the "no false lemma" (or equivalent) then the farmer is not ...
Are you suggesting that “literally anyone in Russia” whose daughter got “murdered by a Ukrainian operation” could become Kremlin ideologue? Coz that’s...
Nevertheless Following the murder, Putin became “seriously interested” in Dugin. He sent him a telegram of condolences, and has since encouraged the a...
We could put some effort into clarifying the notion of "justification" according to an internalist epistemology. In that sense, I think "justification...
Well due to our past exchange I don't trust your way of framing problems. Yes but there might be some catch in the term "follow" (between perceptual b...
On a hill at Bomma near the mouth of the Congo dwells Namvulu Vumu, King of the Rain and Storm. Of some of the tribes on the Upper Nile we are told th...
I and Creativesoul had a very long exchange about his views a while ago so I’m reusing here expressions I clarified there (and without worrying too mu...
Not sure how to understand your questions, but I could say that there are 2 conditions to take into account: 1. perceptual evidences 2. justificatory ...
