They have been shown and discussed even on this thread. A true Putinista is obviously someone or a movement/group who supports and works for Putin's o...
Listen actually to what they say and notice how their world view is actually very close, especially when they depict what they are against. It's not a...
Hilarious argument. And quite high a pedestal you again put experts. And especially we are talking of here and now and the future, not 19th Century hi...
If you think "the proletariat" in these countries are so high on the opium of media agendas, I would beg to differ. First and foremost, on a thread ab...
I think the problem is that you make a juxtaposition between pro-American and anti-American. And there's not anything else. You simply don't see that ...
Obviously we haven't gone over some tipping point in the war where the outcome would be obvious. Hence the long term consequences are totally up in th...
Naturally any lengthy discussion needs different views and opinions. And many have also engaged in other philosophical debates (and joined the forum e...
I've seen it happen. The most obvious and clear case (and totally separate from this issue) was many years ago when there was a classic ponzi scheme i...
One has to remember that there's a war going on. The purpose isn't even to have a discussion, the purpose is just to repeat the position, however deli...
UN and Amnesty International? I think that does it for you. I think for a troll like you, that might be very useful for everybody to disregard your no...
Hilarious. First, you haven't said anything to show in your 8 remarks on this Forum, and one day being here. If there's no evidence, then according to...
Before claiming such absurd denials, why don't you go through piece by piece the for example the links that @"jorndoe" gave are baseless and untrue. I...
Why would you go after those organizations you sponsor? It fits perfectly the bullshit narrative which Russian propaganda is based on. That the cause ...
It's basically about how many people there are. Representation becomes a necessity even if the group of people is rather small. In my life one example...
I think the biggest problem is that basically Eastern European history isn't even looked at itself, but we in the West focus on the region either as a...
:up: Besides, I always like when some new member starts something like "I was introduced to Ayn Rand and liked it. It's so true. What do you guys thin...
Prison inmates etc. don't make good soldiers, on the contrary. But it tells about the attitude... The whole system is designed for there not to emerge...
Nonsense. Ants are simply awesome. Just compare them to single cell lifeforms. WHOW!!! And if you live long, you might actually see Peak Human Populat...
Lukashenko is doing a tightrope balancing act. Attacking Ukraine would be simply insane for Belarus. Starting from that the condition of the armed for...
It's been said that Putin postponed the attack several times and that it was the FSB pushing for the attack and Gerasimov and the military being hesit...
Notice how many things were absent from was all the military cooperation going around then, and earlier in Central Asia even with CSTO members. The ba...
Hey guys! Have noticed that the war between Ukraine and Russia actually has gone on since the year 2014? And again the hubris of Ukrainians not having...
LOL. Just a quote from the White House page from 2010: And this included: Above seems quite something else than "steering towards this conflict". Oh! ...
Ukrainian lives (especially the soldiers) are lost in the defense of a sovereign Ukraine from an existential threat, which wants (or wanted when attac...
Indeed. Taking Melitopol would do the trick. That's why he is referring to the 84 km to Melitopol. So it's a long war. Really? How are you sure of tha...
The basic fact is that Russia thanks to it's own policies constituted that threat. Naturally countries tried to do have good relations and hope for th...
Sorry, but that is the most ludicrous statement, which shows your ignorance. The threat of Russia acting as it has now was obvious... at least to a mi...
Well, it's a war. You can of course be critical what military intelligence of the West says, but then just look at what actually has happened in the o...
As clearly stated even in this thread, Russia has desired Ukrainian territories right when Ukraine got it's independence. If this was about NATO, Puti...
Russia hasn't made this change recently. They have said this far earlier than now, actually. Conventional response means non-nuclear in this case. NAT...
And what have they been doing? Winning and having huge victories? Anyone with a shred of sense can see the hollowness of the "everything is America's ...
I agree, or the writer suffered from very low esteem. The algorithms we call AI now days aren't yet so great. But with a human touch, with someone who...
However accurate our models of objective reality are thanks to science, it doesn't do away with our subjectivity and that we have to make subjective d...
During the Cold War, which seems to be continuing now, US and Soviet forces did clash. When they did, both sides didn't opt to escalate to the next le...
China has said that they are against the use of nuclear weapons being used in Ukraine. But then you aren't highly in doubt that the Russian leader and...
And Medvedev has made that point. So you think then Russians or Putin will just ignore warnings as fake? What if you then after using tactical nukes t...
But @"boethius", the West isn't intervening in Ukraine as in Iraq. And in Libya there are quite many countries all around meddling in it's internal pr...
Again, that the use would result in NATO making a conventional attack on Russian forces in Ukraine is believable enough to make the use a very, very b...
Again you don't understand. They are perfect for deterrence, but not so great in actual warfare because of the obvious drawbacks and the obvious escal...
Yes Isaac. Something like that I meant. It's not you or I, our friends, our work colleagues, relatives, people who we know that are banned. That's wha...
There simply isn't the will. With the US committed to Europe, it won't change. The only thing that would get Europeans and Europe to truly emphasis on...
Good point. The truth is that if would want a true solution, not a frozen conflict of some state (like what exists between the two Koreas), Russia sim...
Let's be honest. This is the basically what we are talking about. Not about the limits of the Overton Window. The instances of someone being a victim ...
If Russians have vodka, Americans have drugs. In both cases it isn't outrageous conspiracy theory that alcohol & drugs are used to keep the masses in ...
Russia has already had a huge demographic problem (and, actually Ukraine too), which has a long tragic history. The real burden of communism and two W...
In what sense does Santa Claus exist? As an unregistered trademark that execs at Disney have wet dreams about owning the rights to. https://prod-ripcu...
I think this is a very good and important question. First, just to communicate somehow with your own species (and btw also to other species) is absolu...
