This isn't an insult you great boob. In my experience, you're often wrong. That's not an insult. It's just a fact. Everybody gets things wrong from ti...

So you agree that Obama could have generated a military conflict over Crimea.

Apparently not. Ya didn't pay attention.

Honest question: did you not realize Biden is a hawk when you voted for him? Did you not realize Trump would back the US off the world stage instead? ...

Obama echoes that same sentiment.

I like it

The basic idea is that the reason Putin invaded is that nobody did anything when he took Crimea. It was nothing but positive for him. Obama has been c...

Funding makes wars. Isn't that your argument?

Kiev condemned the annexation. A war could have happened. Obama was criticized for failing to support an armed retake. And somehow the US passed up an...

Sell them weapons? Who sold anybody any weapons?

Oh, c'mon. Be genuine for a second.

One of the reasons it doesn't make much sense to point to arms dealing as the main reason for American involvement is that Obama declined to take forc...

:up:

:cool:

You said you were cautious about condemning Russia because you fear the repercussions of speaking out. That goes against my grain and the grain of my ...

Of course. How could I forget?

I think we've discussed this before, that backing down from aggression is not the path to a stable situation. We'll have to agree to disagree. I find ...

If you can't allow yourself a moral perspective, why do you care about reducing Ukrainian casualties?

Yes. And now the US will be giving Ukraine a missile defense system so they can protect their people from Russian attacks. It's horrendous that Putin ...

Is that like a daddy-issues thing?

Try porn hub.

So you like to watch? :roll:

Sounds like somebody's horny.

That attitude isn't in the sources I see. Don't know what to say about it. As I said to Isaac, war profiteers are always there. They always have been,...

The US is buying anti-radiation medicine. How's that for Disney?

I just wanted to add that I think this title would look great on the NYT best seller list: Series in Pessimism, by Schopenhaur1. But you can exit life...

Well that makes sense, except it seems like God could have made it the correct size to begin with.

They had small appendages?

You're probably right. I think it's just from previous promises to protect Ukraine along with some revenge for Russia's interference in American elect...

Probably. The UN Secretary General doesn't give that as the main problem, though.

"According to a May report from Ukrainska Pravda, the Russian side was ready for a meeting between Zelenskyy and Putin, but it later came to a halt af...

As I explained to Manuel, negotiations require a cease fire. Putin will have to ask for one. That's just how it works. The US is not the appropriate b...

According to the mitochondrial DNA, it happened quite a bit.

Ashkenazi Jews are believed to be descendants of Roman Jews who spread eastward. Apparently it was usually just men who wandered out and settled down ...

What's your suggestion?

But it didn't show up in the DNA test. If you had a daughter or sister, I wonder if it would show up in their test.

For the war to end, one of two things has to happen. 1. Putin initiates and follows through on a cease fire. 2. Ukraine surrenders. If you want the wa...

Mitochondrial evidence shows that at least 80% of Ashkenazi Jews are descended from families where a Jewish man married a European woman (like a Germa...

You got news the rest of the planet doesn't know about?

Regardless of how they divide up Ukraine after the war, ending the war requires one of two things: 1. Putin initiates and follows through on a cease f...

Putin is the invader. The Ukrainians are fighting for their home. There are two options: Putin signals that he wants to cease invading, or the Ukraini...

That would require Putin's buy-in. No sign of that.

Most Ashkenazi Jews are descended from European women.

Haud yer bawsack! About Sicilian discrimination: "Sicilian emigration to the United States grew substantially starting in the 1880s to 1914, when it w...

It's really easy to forget that we're all just different leaves on the same tree.

It's good understand those you're opposed to, right? How else will you find common ground, understand what they're afraid of, what events shaped them,...

Thanks!

What's the title?

You try any preversions I'll blow your head off.

Sicilians who came to America experienced discrimination and resorted to creating self governing enclaves where the thugs you refer to acted to protec...
