Not really. :up: He’s very little like Stalin, actually.

Yes, like keeping Ukraine a buffer state and not allowing missiles on Russia’s border. Would it be insane if Trump invaded Mexico if China were conduc...

Watching Super Bowl. God this one sucked. Boring.

Not at all. I’ve learned a lot from others here. But that’s because there are others who know something about the topics I’m drawn to. When I enter a ...

:lol: Your denial knows no bounds. If you really think what I quoted shows how the Gaza genocide isn’t a genocide, or that it supports the argument th...

I can’t imagine you really know anything about this topic either, but given your constantly bad guesswork I now question whether I’m right. Thanks any...

I’m sorry that you have so little understanding of what you claim to be a “professional” in. That’s not my fault. Given the genocide convention, it’s ...

https://decolonizepalestine.com/myth/population-growth-ethnic-cleansing/ For those truly interested in this stupid, lazy and racist claim. TL/DR: popu...

“Legal professional.” Well I’ll just say that your legal acumen is in keeping with the rest of your posts. I credit you for at least not even pretendi...

Exactly— you assume he’s insane. Which is so ridiculous it’s unbelievable it’s seriously argued. When did he become insane exactly? When he invaded Uk...

Yeah, the idea of a puppet regime or regime change is also nonsense. Covered long ago. You’re just reducing yourself to repeating what you’ve heard fr...

It’s definitely obvious — in Western propaganda anyway. Ramzy Mardini said it best:

There is: prevent the US from making Ukraine a western bulwark. No NATO explanation into Ukraine, no weapons and drills and military presence on their...

Who said anything about them planning on losing a million soldiers?

Since this is exactly what’s happened, I don’t think we need to guess. The Ukrainians have resisted, with considerable (and crucial) support from the ...

I’m not sure why this is difficult, but conquering Ukraine and attacking Kiev is not the same thing. Kiev was attacked, yes. You take this as evidence...

So we ignore their words and the military reality, and go with our favorite narrative based on preconceived notions. No thanks. I agree with not takin...

So you can’t answer that question, got it. I’ll ask again: do those words count or not? I’m guessing the answer is no, they don’t count. Only the word...

Nato expanded greatly from 1992 onward. The fact They wanted to include Ukraine 20 years ago is a large part of this conflict. So we have (1) Putin’s ...

Annexing parts of Ukraine and conquering Ukraine are different things. The latter makes no sense and hasn’t been attempted. Which is why you can give ...

Oh, does it? Or just the parts you want to hear and interpret as imperialism? Do these words count, or should they be ignored? Since you care so much ...

This is a good example of media storytelling. It makes sense, it has kernels of truth to it, and it’s comforting — especially if one presupposes Putin...

That’s exactly what matters. Notice that they’ve never said they wanted to conquer Ukraine and, unsurprisingly, never tried to. The only one ignoring ...

The Russians have been clear about what they’ve wanted. You disregard that— fine. It’s usually best to ignore official state bullshit. Look at the US ...

You say “wrong, there isn’t,” then provide 0 evidence. The Russians didn’t want to conquer Ukraine. That is a myth, and a stupid one, which you seem t...

Just picture yourself still believing that the 2020 election was stolen (now whittled down to the last hope: maybe something happened in Georgia!). Im...

Says the guy literally repeating strictly Western talking points. I think the history is quite clear. Hardly “Kremlin tales.” But believe what you wil...

If one believes Russia wanted to conquer Ukraine— which it never did. That’s a stupid myth perpetuated by the West, of course. It’s true that Russia h...

True Romance Heard about this one for decades. So many good actors and a script by Tarantino. Yet, it was just okay. Don’t see the big deal. Maybe I j...

Like watching a chessmaster playing a toddler.

This is the same guy parroting the claim that “millions of illegals vote democrat.” I’d take the trolling comments with a grain of salt. All fluff and...

No: 1) Ukraine is losing and losing badly. 2) Ukraine will continue to lose lives and land the longer this goes on. 3) Better to negotiate a settlemen...

Just to counter the one-sided propaganda: the protesters’ did indeed have a defense, including that the security used excessive force and that video f...

Good points. Good luck discussing it with Risible. Normally you get nowhere with trolls but maybe this time there’ll be progress. :cheer:

Ah okay! Well that’s certainly true as well.

:pray: Well you’re far more patient than me then.

Same thing over and again with Risible. He really really wants you to think he’s an authority on something— anything. No substance whatsoever, which i...

Definitely the hottest First Lady ever…But I can’t see that being the basis for a whole movie.

Imagine spending all this time (and resources) searching for something so obviously conjured up by a fraud? How stupid does one have to be to believe ...

More like the posturing ignoramus effect. Knows nothing about the subject, but compulsively has to comment on it anyway— while pretending to be an exp...

Risible.

Speaking of trolls. Weren’t you gonna “dip out”? Anyway— please go on about substantive contributions— like claiming millions of illegals voted for de...

Like coming on a thread after someone was just murdered by the state and placing the emphasis on the protesters’ behavior.

:rofl: We get this elaborate bullshit in lieu of a simple “yeah that guy shouldn’t have been shot.” But definitely not you! Lol We get a strawman with...

Yes. These Trump apologists are simply incapable of just saying “yeah this is wrong.” Gotta be false equivalence and whataboutism. How intellectually ...

I guess someone has to say it: No one gives a shit about what you think. :victory:

Why, why, why??! Oh wait…Just more whataboutism. :yawn:

:up: So basically more whataboutism. Put in a more numeric way: it’s wrong that person A lied 10 times; it’s also wrong when person B lies 1000 times....

You’re clearly acting on bad faith. Time for him to dip out in indignant disgust.

Why don’t you stick to commenting on things where you can skate by on fluff. In this case, there are actual facts— so better you stay clear. Ignoring ...
