Why yes, ugly Germany (for the allies) at the time, of course. Something like this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6e/Harry_R....

Useful to keep in mind that, prior to Feb 24, the Russians were not threatening to invade Ukraine. They were just doing exercises, if you believed the...

This is the premise of the whole article and it is blatantly false. The US could not have stopped the invasion. Just because you know something is bre...

The Seignac painting dates back to 1914. It's an allegory about WW1 and the rape of Belgium. I find it interesting because it depicts fear, unlike man...

"NATO caca" is not really an insult. Rather it's an apt summary for many posts here.

They behave like automatons. It's hard to have a conversation with bots saying "NATO caca" over and over again.

You guys don't pay attention. You're here to shout at folks.

Absolutely not. I am a big fan of Zelensky's proposals for direct talks with Putin, and for self-determination referendums in Crimea and Dombass. When...

None of that has anything to do with NATO's mission. As I said, they make exceptions every now and then. Some NATO members do, some don't. I don't thi...

Whatever. At least you think you made a point. That's what matters.

You are not doing a very good job at it. What falsehood?

It is true that NATO's mission is not to act as some savior of all people in need. It is meant and conceived only as a defensive military alliance. On...

All it says is that NATO is a defensive alliance not concerned with internal politics of its members. If we French start to bomb Corsica to dust, NATO...

Take your own advice: stop cheering the Russians and enlist on their side. Then you get to rape and torture innocent folks yourself rather than vicari...

From your examples, eg tenant/landlord, perhaps a better question would be: Who are we to one another, in this or that context? Or along the same line...

I agree but it's far worse in Ukraine right now than in Turkey right now. Magnitude matters.

Yes, well. Revolutions are messy affairs, to state the glaringly obvious. And the prior order of things finds all sorts of ways to kick back and perdu...

"Records from the Domesday Book show that 75% of the population died or never returned." We call it: "the Special Military Operation in the North".

You'd be worse off. The French brought you civilization.

Talk about escalation... of the planet's orbit!

You have a problem with Zelenskyy, obviously, and while you say you want peace, you fantasize at length about the potential use of nukes against Ukrai...

I'm just pointing at what I perceive as an important difference between other "Ukraine antagonists" here and you: they are amateurs, while you're a pr...

I haven't said anything about thresholds. Russians can be as nazi as they want to; no problem for me, as long as they don't invade their neighbours. A...

Where did you mention the fact that Putin is himself a Nazi?

I tend to feel free, generally, and do not need your authorization for it. For instance, you've omitted the presence of a nazi-like ideology in Putin ...

Yes, it's an important part of it, of course, when carefully chosen. Reposting Kremlin lapdog media won't work quite as well.

That you are a professional propagandist.

I fear not 'opposing view points', although mass murderers and their apologists are indeed creepy.

Thanks for proving my point.

Yes, and it happened under the USSR and in Nazi Germany too. It's happening now in Ukraine. Torture. Rape. Murder. That's what Russians do. Violence i...

There are differences between them, though. @"Boethius" is an FSB plant, no doubt in my mind about him, or he would not defend the bombing of civilian...

But force was not threatened. Prior to Feb 24, the Russians were not threatening to attack Ukraine. On the contrary, they were saying they would NOT a...

It's just that you are a proven serial liar, and you decided to use your lying talents to defend war criminals. It's hard to understand.

Lula is out of his depth here. Russians are guilty of war crimes. They are torturing, murdering and bombing civilians every day. There is no equivalen...

Still, it's odd to be so disinterested in the truth.

Why not? What do you got to lose if you say the truth?

I do. Do you?

Key word: allegedly.
