It did, but despite not a single German city being left standing, the Germans fought on until the bitter end. The mass killing of civilians did not ca...

Once people finally acknowledge Ukraine is militarily completely lost, perhaps their next steps can be chosen more rationally. There's nothing 'pro-Ru...

The distinction is the element of intent, as per the relevant article of legislature that has already been quoted. In the case of Israel, several Isra...

This is nonsense. Israel can't draw the Holocaust card to excuse its own genocidal behavior. is exactly right. Israel's behavior fits the IHL definiti...

Weren't you the guy predicting Ukraine's offensive was going to push the Russians out of Crimea? :lol:

The West wasn't willing to stick its neck out for Ukraine when Ukraine was still in decent shape. It sure as hell won't risk a war with Russia now tha...

Oh yea? Give an example.

What the oil companies believe or say has nothing to do with my views. But a cute attempt.

Some low-brow attempt to shove me into the camp of the oil companies? :brow:

I'm just making the point that ultimately I'm having to trust other people's word for it, and I'm increasingly seeing problems within academia that ma...

Yes, the Dutch have had to deal with water for centuries. I live by the coast myself, so when the deluge comes I'll be the first to know about it. :lo...

I'm sure the insurance companies must be worried sick about those supposed two milimeters of sea level rise per year. With such numbers we may as well...

That bastion of integrity and wisdom.

I have some ability of course. I live by the sea, and empirically I observe none of the supposedly world-shattering trends that people talk about. So ...

Ultimately I'm just taking scientists at their word, so yes trust is important. And over the last decade or so my trust in academia has eroded a great...

I just take note of typical grifty tactics, like narrative shifting, and as the list grows my trust shrinks.

Stupid? For noticing the narrative shift and wondering where it came from? Maybe you should cramp a little harder. :lol:

Lol.

Did anyone ever wonder why they changed their brand from "global warming" to "climate change"?

For sure the people in Washington are evil, and the people in Brussels are ignorant. But my intention was never to exonerate Russia, rather to make cl...

That's how the US sells all the coup d'etats it organises, and there have been many, and pretty much none of them have turned out well. There's not mu...

I view US as being principally responsible, and Biden has been on that portfolio since the start of the conflict. Nuland, Blinken and Sullivan have al...

In terms of foreign policy the Biden administration has been a disaster. Ukraine was their project, and it has been a hopeless mess. From cynically pu...

Of course it is. You don't like the fact that I criticize Biden without trying to defend Trump, so you're trying to find a way to lump me into the Tru...

You use the term 'covert conspiracy' presumably to ridicule the idea, however the US has been on a constant tour to do exactly that: toppling regimes,...

I'm not claming such things. I just don't think it's a serious argument. Also, I think your attempt at likening me to Trump is really immature. :brow:

Of course. And that's why they brought it up repeatedly in search for a solution. They were ignored. Putin's invasion wasn't inevitable at all. All it...

Yea, that's beyond obvious. I don't know how anyone can seriously deny US involvement in the Maidan coup and the dumpster fire that it turned into tod...

You can look it up; Biden, Nuland, Sullivan, Blinken, they all were.

Biden was VP during the Maidan, and Ukraine was his portfolio. Of course he was involved. The entire current administration was involved in the Maidan...

I don't think the Russians wanted to invade Ukraine at all. They did so because they felt they had no other option. If the US hadn't pressed its wishe...

Again, since 2009 onward all the people I've named from the Biden administration including Biden himself have been deeply involved in project Ukraine....

His strategy vis-á-vis NATO was probably to pressure the Europeans to stop freeloading. I don't think he would actually leave. And honestly in terms o...

That does sound a bit far-fetched.

Obviously that would be way too strong of a claim. I think there's a non-trivial chance that it wouldn't have happened under Trump, but the question i...

Because the article linked was talking about how the Russians might attack if Trump gets elected. The Russians in fact attacked when Biden came into o...

Ironically, Putin attacked Ukraine when Biden became president, most likely due to Biden's long standing involvement in Ukraine. His entire administra...

It's not hard to see why a lot of people support Trump. The Biden administration has been an absolute dumpster fire. If Biden is the lesser of those t...

No, not really. Recognizing something is as a grift has nothing to do with morality.

None of that has anything to do with what I said, though.

I don't think that's an accurate way of describing the skepticism expressed in this thread at all.

This isn't a question about caring for others at all. Attempts to frame it as such is simply a transparent attempt at claiming a moral high ground by ...

My thoughts exactly. :pray:

How does this not sound extremely grifty? People have had to deal with the effects of all kinds of change for as long as humanity has existed, but now...

The only one screaming endlessly here is you, ...

Yes. Why would a climate apocalypse unfolding before our very eyes need to be "made more believable"? Besides, children don't make things believable. ...

Gotcha. No, I wasn't calling you a grifter. But if you're genuinely under the impression the world is about to end, you've fallen victim to a grift.

Well, another element of the climate grift was how they chose a child, Greta, as their spokesperson. That's a pretty classic example of grift.

Cramped reactions like these only suggest the aforementioned intellectual foetal position to me, to be honest.
