I do. It'll bloody hurt. No. To say "torture is bad" is to say that the word 'bad' correctly applies to torture. They'd be right. It does. Like "the b...
... resulting from a single stray missile fired by one of their allies. Yes, I'm glad the alliance has met the bare minimum threshold of not starting ...
That could well explain why they're now refusing to reveal their source. Their own editorial guidelines state that an anonymous source can only be use...
Also important is that the notion it was a Russian missile came from an unnamed "senior U.S. intelligence official" who AP are still refusing to name ...
Hasn't seemed a barrier previously to you waxing lyrical about Putin's intentions, Biden's intentions, Macron, Draghi... Since when have you once cons...
Funny. You seem to have quite a complex grasp of the concept here... ... Even by your new measure, it is wildly irresponsible for a leader to publicly...
Of course it's a choice. It's exactly the choice military commanders make almost continuously during military operations - military objectives vs the ...
He's the leader of a nation and the commander in chief of an army. He's not a five year old having a go at 'My First Country'. We can, and should, exp...
Who? It is simply utter bollocks to say they knew it was an accident but didn't know where it came from. The facts are that they learned where it most...
NATO are required to respond by treaty to any threat made to a member country. If there is doubt as to the origin of the missile, NATO will be some de...
Bollocks. Poland have done zero investigation beyond simply looking at the parts (which, since both Russia and Ukraine overlap in armaments, tells you...
Yes. There's simply no good way for Zelensky to come out of this (though I'm interested in how the media will spin it). Don't be absurd. World leaders...
Who said anything about comprehending them? I said I don't care what matters to them, not that I don't comprehend them. And in either case, explain wh...
Good, glad I wasn't misrepresenting you too badly. Then @"Olivier5"'s position becomes all the more bizarre. Your view is apparently rendered implausi...
The theories don't interest me. Your attitude toward them does. You're trying to deny a theory by presenting evidence to support an alternate one. It'...
Are we starting again? What evidence do you have which proves the reasons for the Russian retreat are solely the strength of the Ukrainian advance, an...
You said "all evidence" pointed toward some theory the opposite of which would require one to be pro-Russian to believe it. Lack of evidence either wa...
Yep. So how is... ...evidence that Russia was forced to retreat from Kherson, as opposed to @"Tzeentch"'s theory that they left in preparation for a p...
The one you're arguing against, of course. The one you're suggesting 'all evidence' is against. The one which support of, against all this evidence, m...
What evidence? You've resorted to citing yourselves now. Barely a shred of 'evidence' has been presented over the last dozen pages at least, just unin...
Yes. Since Poland are already talking of invoking Article 4, it's obvious to anyone not caught up in their naive Hollywood version of how wars go that...
I may have been inclined to disagree with this earlier, when it seemed there were two equally viable opinions and my main beef was that one of them wa...
Nothing in the quote you cited either latterly or formerly says anything about what may or may not matter to Ukrainians. I can't think why you'd imagi...
Yes, this will be a litmus test for when the US plans to hang Ukraine out to dry like they did with Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan once they've milked th...
Well Russia are saying it isn't them and Ukraine are saying it's a Russian conspiracy to even say it was Ukraine. So we're left with no good options. ...
But why would Russia need to negotiate to stop the war? It doesn't make any sense. If Russia could have staked a claim to those territories merely by ...
Yes, absolutely. All the more pertinent when set against this talk of 'requirements' which must apparently be in place for a negotiation to be possibl...
But that would only be relevant if the deal were to stop Ukraine invading the 'new' Russia ie the deal involved the ceding of Ukrainian territory to R...
Go on. What is the logical barrier? It would have to first be established that it actually took place. Moscow are denying it. Logically, how can they ...
I'll ask you the same question @"Olivier5" keeps dodging. With whom was it agreed that Yugoslavia should no longer exist? Who was the 'other party' in...
I think it's Ukraine that want Russia to stop their flight. Ukraine are no threat to Russia right now, they're not invading Russia. Make an argument t...
Ah, the usual switch. Loose ground on arguments about what is the case, switch to moralising "virtue signalling is just ethics". Loose ground on moral...
...you're still not specifying what 'not tolerating' consists of. What action indicates 'not tolerating'? I'm afraid I just don't understand what you'...
Not quite. One article might contain a promise from NATO. Who the supplicant is depends on the commitment the article is about. As to enforcing powers...
The supplicant changes depending on the term. Article 1 might make Russia the supplicant (we promise we'll remove our troops behind this line), in art...
Yes. The supplicant and the enforcing power. Neither need be a state. Again, United Nations Security Council Resolution 777 agreed that Yugoslavia no ...
If peace negotiations have to agree to the legitimacy of the current political map in order to take place, then how are border changes ever legitimise...
I can't answer that question because you've not answered my request for clarity on it. 'Tolerate' how? Are you asking me if I tolerate child kidnappin...
What is illogical, for you about the statement "I believe that Russia ought to be in control of all the land up to the Dnieper, but I agree not to sho...
