Yet, "Ukraine never had the ability to launch those missiles or to use those warheads. The security measures against unauthorized use were under Mosco...

You didn't provide any evidence to support these claims. I have evidences that question them. Indeed Turkic people may be genetically very different f...

Dude, I quoted you not only Wikipedia but ethnogenesis studies on the Crimean Tatars, that prove Crimean Tatars' origins were pre-Mongol. And also spe...

The problem is not just the American reluctance to seat at the negotiation table (they might prefer to wait until they have Sweden and Finland joining...

Oh pls, can I be a CIA-NATO bot transformer? But I never said you said it MUST! I just questioned your claim that Crimea belongs to Russia. Anyway acc...

In favor of Russia, I can only say that as long as there is no plausible prospective of re-integrating Russia in the world economy, while addressing i...

Dude, if I never called you “deranged Putinist”, there are reasons: the main is that your dialectic approach is the problem, not the content. You woul...

Maybe, LOL. And who are the good ones?
May 09, 2022 at 13:31
Of course, if you say so and rofl about it, it MUST be certainly true then! :rofl: Ditto, to a deranged mind, I can seem lots of things. Which straw m...

All right, I see some good points in there, so I welcome your input. Yet I'm not here to entertain other people, besides this is a philosophical forum...

As for (1) you didn’t show me that I misunderstood you before I showed you that you did misunderstand me, and repeatedly so. Therefore it’s you who ne...
May 07, 2022 at 20:43
Yet it proves that yours was a straw man argument based on a misinterpreted bit of what I wrote. Completely failed?! How so? I usually don’t even try ...

I’m responsible for what I write not for what you understand. First of all, I didn’t focus on the nuclear threat per se. What I said was more articula...

Dude, whether Russia is a security threat to Ukraine or not, is for Ukraine to decide. Sure you do with your propaganda. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austi...

I didn't see Kiev, Paris, London or New York invading Russia either. Yet Russia was considering Ukraine joining NATO and EU as an existential threat t...
May 03, 2022 at 16:53
Where have I suggested that you suggested it? You wrote: "So in all fairness it's the combination of two nuclear parties that compete for influence, o...

That's the geopolitical game, dear Pollyanna. Any pawn must play its role as a pawn as best as possible to get a chance to become a queen.
May 03, 2022 at 11:06
Not as unfortunate as if we were aligned with Russia: we needed NATO to protect us from the Soviet Union as much as Ukraine needed NATO to protect the...

Dude, I don’t give a shit about your arguments from authority and your raving about "reason". Suck it up and move on. You are confused. I argued that:...

That’s at best evidence to you not to me, since that all “events have causes” is not self-evident to me for logic and semantic “reasons” as I clarifie...

I didn't claim that, nor implied that, nor suggested that. I took into consideration the notion of "God" when talking about existence preservation, no...

No, that's not true. If self-creation is understood as a form of simultaneous causation then the same entity X would be simultaneously existent (as ef...

Again, I would distinguish between what is the case (metaphysical question) and what we can "see" (epistemological question). Anyway the notion of "po...
April 24, 2022 at 18:37
are you talking about Zeno's paradox? The impossibility of having motion on a single point of the time series?
April 24, 2022 at 15:36
A glass breaking is an instantaneous event. Why do you see it as paradoxical?
April 24, 2022 at 14:55
As far as I can tell from my philosophical readings, events are temporal phenomena that can be extended or instantaneous: parties, watching movies, pl...
April 24, 2022 at 13:10
We should distinguish epistemology from ontology. The incapacity of identifying cause and effect is not a reason to reject of the simultaneity of caus...
