Likely, we will know what the talks led to at any minute now. But it will not return to normal, the west has lost trust in Putin and even if the worst...

So, the person taking the scientist's knowledge and making their own bomb. Is he to blame? Or still the scientist? If the knowledge is out in the worl...
February 28, 2022 at 13:56
Sure, they can be blamed for opening the door to the severity of the situation. But even if he didn't have a bomb, he still had the gun. If he didn't ...
February 28, 2022 at 13:35
And how do we do that? By staying silent and letting Putin do whatever he wants?
February 28, 2022 at 13:27
So, you basically mean that whenever you hear someone actually saying it, you can brush them off as being just uninformed, convenient. I guess Ukraini...
February 28, 2022 at 13:26
I feel strongly about passive attitudes where the only thing going on is circular arguments that boils down to "all of your solutions are wrong becaus...
February 28, 2022 at 12:45
I asked for your solution and it was just a bunch of nothing. This is then your response.
February 28, 2022 at 12:19
You mean that the actions "the west" is taking here are just "bloodlusty" agitations? Yeah, helping Ukraine defend themselves against murderers trying...
February 28, 2022 at 12:11
Who gives a shit about power prices increasing when people are getting killed in Ukraine? Increasing fascist movements is always a concern that is alw...
February 28, 2022 at 11:47
Of course, because the corruption didn't disappear, because the despots didn't disappear, because the propaganda didn't disappear. If almost every par...
February 28, 2022 at 11:41
He invaded a country, killing civilians right now as we speak, and threatens others with nuclear weapons. Case closed. Are you saying that we should k...
February 28, 2022 at 11:37
Survival? By taking Ukraine? In what way is that survival? Please explain what the actual threat is? All those nations, including Ukraine, want is to ...
February 28, 2022 at 11:33
But this is not true. Right now we're in a thread about this conflict and of course, such events, especially in Europe create such media coverage beca...
February 28, 2022 at 11:16
You have continued to push this argument while people have answered you many times. Here's the thing, there are nations who are independent nations th...
February 28, 2022 at 10:46
I'm not saying it isn't complicated. Since everything is speculation, it ends up being very broad strokes. No, it just happens to be that this is a la...
February 28, 2022 at 10:34
We've had the technology for many decades. The only reason it's not fleshed out is because there wasn't any weapon capability as a byproduct. You know...
February 28, 2022 at 10:12
Sure, but Taiwan's shutdown of their semiconductor plant created a worldwide shortage, so an invasion before the west has been able to build up new fa...
February 28, 2022 at 09:05
I think you should check that again. There are a number of renewable options that have reached improvements over the past few years which have increas...
February 28, 2022 at 08:58
Absolutely, but at the same time, people didn't think "the west" would be so unified against Russia as is the case right now. What I meant was that Ch...
February 28, 2022 at 08:46
I would say they're covering all bets. They have trade with everyone, but they won't like being shut off from a big portion of the world if they cuddl...
February 28, 2022 at 07:51
I'd say, rip the band-aid already. The world needs to move towards sustainable energy and this could be a good way to speed that up. Even if it would ...
February 28, 2022 at 07:39
It reaches a point. You can scare people into obedience until they become more scared of the actions of that man than the man himself. When that happe...
February 27, 2022 at 18:50
Are his security personnel these oligarchs? Are they rich in the same way? Does he not have security people around him?
February 27, 2022 at 17:39
I'd say that the best way to remove Putin is to speak to everyone in his security personnel. Instead of a black op, message everyone surrounding Putin...
February 27, 2022 at 17:28
Hope for the best, expect the worst.
February 27, 2022 at 17:19
He will either act upon it, or he will be hunted as a war criminal after this. This is how people talk about this at the moment. Some officials have s...
February 27, 2022 at 16:56
And yet... US has the most competent army for this kind of operation. Who else would be able to do it? And what is the alternative? Can you provide an...
February 27, 2022 at 16:53
No one in their right mind would use nuclear weapons today... Putin is not in his right mind. That's the clearest argument for why this is really seri...
February 27, 2022 at 15:53
Most likely a covert op by the US initially. Then an alliance of US troops with troops from European nations (not through NATO, but each nation's regu...
February 27, 2022 at 15:40
Was this the case with Hitler? To think about what comes after and therefore not act? Of course there will be consequences, they are extreme consequen...
February 27, 2022 at 15:19
This is why I earlier said that Putin needs to be put down. Whatever the outcome of the current war, he is such a big threat to the world that there's...
February 27, 2022 at 14:42
If Putin really makes a reality of using tactical nukes against the west, then a lot of people in this thread will go silent with their naive ideas.
February 27, 2022 at 14:04
He doesn't care. Why did terrorists like Breivik do what he did? Is he proud? Does he care that people hate him? No, he was driven by a narcissistic a...
February 27, 2022 at 13:59
Because I actually research through what experts and researchers on eastern politics, Putin and Russia concluded. The evidence for why you can't take ...
February 27, 2022 at 13:57
People need to understand that it's not Russia that is acting here, there is no Russia, there's only Putin. It's his actions, his decisions, his rule....
February 27, 2022 at 13:42
Now Putin has put his nuclear capability on high alert. Can people finally understand why Putin is a fucking threat and needs to be put down? Is this ...
February 27, 2022 at 13:30
But this is not Putin's ambition. He's aiming for rebulding a Russian empire, he wants to be a "big man". I think most people are so into traditional ...
February 27, 2022 at 13:28
Or "an open space for Putin apologists" like yourself.
February 27, 2022 at 00:21
I'm not talking about nuking Ukraine, I'm talking about Putin being embarrassed with defeat, wanting to show strength and just send off nukes towards ...
February 27, 2022 at 00:17
Germany is central, it's the most connected nation, geographically in Europe. It makes sense. But you don't seem to understand when I point that out. ...
February 27, 2022 at 00:15
Yes, that was a country with a pretty weak force against the US. Ukraine is, especially since 2014, a pretty strong military and especially strong in ...
February 26, 2022 at 16:29
Again, what the fuck are you talking about? Troops in Germany are there for defense. Every NATO member has a defensive NATO force on their soil, espec...
February 26, 2022 at 16:25
And if it ever gets to the point where 56% of the population actually taking up arms against the Russian forces (as per their poll), then that's aroun...
February 26, 2022 at 16:19
The one thing to fear is that Putin's frustrations boil over and he fires off nukes in order to not be embarrassed by defeat. Another thing is that I ...
February 26, 2022 at 16:12
What are you talking about? It's part of the NATO defense force. NATO defends its NATO member nations or they can be positioned on non-NATO member nat...
February 26, 2022 at 16:05
Economic investment is part of trading, part of collaboration. A high number is not "domination" in any context of how that word was used before, whic...
February 26, 2022 at 15:37
We don't do as we are told by the US. We act by our own accord. We trade with the US and they trade with us. We collaborate when we have mutual benefi...
February 26, 2022 at 14:39
So what does this have to do with our critique of Putin and Russia today? Sweden is one of the most highly ranked nations in the world on the individu...
February 26, 2022 at 14:11
I asked you a question before, please answer instead of continuing with these bullshit opinions. If you complain about others' level of discourse, ple...
February 26, 2022 at 13:44
Look at your own perhaps?
