I'm just gonna repeat this again, since the problem is that any legitimization of the propaganda narrative actively supports the spread of that propag...

Have it EVER occurred to you that he's pushing this denazification narrative in order to keep the loyalty to the cause back home in Russia intact? If ...
March 07, 2022 at 09:28
And you are repeating your posts like a parrot not even understanding the answers you get. It's pointless trying to discuss something like this with s...
March 07, 2022 at 09:13
Let's focus on the nazis of Ukraine. Putin will retreat their troops, they will put down the guns and hug the Ukrainians in a big warm celebration tha...
March 07, 2022 at 09:02
So what are you comparing it to? There's no need for warlike denazification if the problem isn't worse than any other nation with neo-nazi groups. The...
March 07, 2022 at 08:50
Bigger than what? The US? What about all other nations with far-right problems, especially in Europe? This is Putin's narrative getting to your head, ...
March 07, 2022 at 08:03
How did that in any shape or form relate to what I wrote? Putin pushes a propaganda narrative to justify his actions, there's no reality to that narra...
March 06, 2022 at 22:56
Who cares at this moment? There are neo-nazis everywhere, especially in nations that have free speech, there will always exist a number of outliers an...
March 06, 2022 at 21:55
Questionable though, since the fall of Soviet and the following recession still had open doors towards the west with trade and business, which were a ...

No, but Russian troops shooting at a power plant risking a 5x Chernobyl as they did last night could be a reason to break everything said about not he...
March 04, 2022 at 16:53
Yeah, makes sense. But we're not in an actual cold war again, even if it looks like that's gonna be our future now. Well, the Cuban crisis was one of ...
March 04, 2022 at 16:47
He probably knew that there would be sanctions, but the sanctions have really been harder than anything seen in history. I don't think he anticipated ...
March 04, 2022 at 16:38
Yes, but that was before a full-scale war. I mean at the moment, while Russia has shown actual aggressive warfare, the act of breaking borders into NA...
March 04, 2022 at 11:04
Russian troops must be the most stupid people in the world after shelling the biggest power plant in Europe so that it’s now burning and fire fighters...
March 04, 2022 at 01:21
Then they need to focus on other aspects, like forming a tech industry with engineering educations and similar. Maybe even semiconductor facilities et...
March 04, 2022 at 00:44
Maybe they just don't want to be ruled by an authoritarian leader? Maybe they've been fighting their own corruption for a while now and don't want to ...
March 04, 2022 at 00:20
MUST (Swedish Military Intelligence and Security Service) also came out and said that the behavior of those fighter jets was not normal. They flew dir...
March 04, 2022 at 00:06
No, not a global depression. It will give everyone dependent on gas and oil, and in some ways wheat a huge problem, but at the same time, it will boos...
March 03, 2022 at 23:35
Yeah, I might rage off, but that may be because I care a lot about stopping a tyrant, some seem to care more about winning an argument. To stop someth...
March 03, 2022 at 19:48
Thank you. But I recommend actually reading them, or rather that the ones I discuss with do it since it sometimes seems like people read one sentence ...
March 03, 2022 at 18:05
I flagged all his posts that didn't follow the rules of this forum. I guess my example of authoritarianism paid off if those flags were removed by him...
March 03, 2022 at 17:25
For which we have no real evidence I presume? No witnesses? No leaked documents? No whistleblowers? If nothing of that, how is this a valid premise? Y...
March 03, 2022 at 17:16
So, how in practice does this work? If all nations who have joined NATO have a vote, equal say, how does the US control NATO? Many in here talk about ...
March 03, 2022 at 16:09
Do things change over time? Can you prove that something has stayed exactly the same over time? Look at a map of NATO in 1949. The US has lots of infl...
March 03, 2022 at 15:45
Way to strawman my arguments. And also totally miss the points I've been making. But it's ok, I have realized that you don't care so there's no point ...
March 03, 2022 at 15:41
I'm talking about a probability factor for the world as it is today. If you mix history in a blender you can get whatever result you want, or that sup...
March 03, 2022 at 15:26
Valid point.
March 03, 2022 at 15:08
Today... that's the argument. Would they act in that way today? I argued that because they are the only ones who've used nukes in history, that could ...
March 03, 2022 at 15:03
People speaking like this are probably the ones with an actual fragile ego. I'm surprised you are a mod in here. Show don't tell
March 03, 2022 at 14:44
Look at Cuthbert here, he actually engages with the question in a way I find more civil. You know, it is possible to do that. Yes, it is a very hard q...
March 03, 2022 at 14:29
Well, sorry if my post seems over-simplified, but I'm not sure there is a possible resolution to this conflict that is peaceful or de-escalating. Puti...
March 03, 2022 at 14:19
You can question both, but who do you trust more in handling nukes? Why is that a childish question? And I also explained how the act of having used a...
March 03, 2022 at 14:05
If you brand everything I write as garbage, then I guess you have no bias at all, right? I would like to add logic and rational deduction to that as w...
March 03, 2022 at 13:47
I think people who fall too far into their ideological bias tend to just agree with anything that follows the same rhetoric as themselves. So if Putin...
March 03, 2022 at 13:36
Do you trust Biden or Putin more with nuclear weapons? Do you trust the chain of command in the US more than Putin's? Everyone can argue that the US a...
March 03, 2022 at 13:14
Bad intel could be the same as people misinterpreting surveillence information. On top of that, this info going up the chain from the analysts at CIA ...
March 03, 2022 at 13:07
It's the same in Sweden, polls have shifted. It's just that our politicians are very afraid of that choice because of Sweden's long tradition of "neut...
March 03, 2022 at 12:30
Yes, but we don't know if that was an intentional play or if they just had bad intel by bad intel operators. If the intel had been correct, it might a...
March 03, 2022 at 12:11
Putin will not back down like that. This is not how Putin's regime works. They're closer to how any other authoritarian regime worked during the 20th ...
March 03, 2022 at 11:47
Yes, things have been on a higher alert level since this. Fortunately, we have pretty fast response times for this. If they had any intention other th...
March 03, 2022 at 11:36
Ukraine doesn't want to be part of a totalitarian regime. They're not just fighting for their lives, they are fighting for their freedom. For many of ...
March 03, 2022 at 11:05
US invasion of Iraq was a farce. It was either a strategy to "fool" the world that an invasion was needed, or just the worst intel operators ever. But...
March 03, 2022 at 10:25
If we are to actually find out what nation should "lead the world" with "exporting political and cultural forms", the only thing we can practically us...
March 02, 2022 at 16:54
Some? Are you talking about culture or politics? If people think a Chinese superpower rule is good for the world, they must be totally unaware of how ...
March 02, 2022 at 16:33
And this is EXACTLY why the argument I've been pushing in this thread is important. The "blame" needs to be proven to be either towards the west or to...
March 02, 2022 at 16:25
If the manifesto of "The new world order" is correct, you have to add that as well to speculations on Putin's ambitions. What Putin says officially du...
March 02, 2022 at 16:20
Since they have no right to Ukraine or any nation other than the borders of their own, Putin could just retreat the troops, deal to get the sanctions ...
March 02, 2022 at 15:44
But it isn't a threat, it's not a threat that warrants extreme actions as counters to it, which is what Putin is doing. You cannot use it as any evide...
March 02, 2022 at 15:39
Still not the fault of NATO if Putin starts a war. What NATO and other nations are doing is up to them. Russia has no claim in demanding anything abou...
