Not really. Why would the size of the universe or the duration of a star be seen 'a barrier'? Does size matter that much? According to the path of sci...

Yes, and it is beyond question that the US is not fighting this war directly. They are not among the belligerants. And therefore they don't have the p...

That's just not true.

Evidently we're not at this stage yet.

Do try and draw a diagram for a good, productive conversation. That could be loads of fun to see what a serial liar like you put in there.

This is not what an effective attack of a country looks like. At what point does it become a failure for the invader? When he invades 5% of the target...

Is that why you are lying on this thread? To protect someone?

Once again, do you agree that we have a duty not to lie?

We have a duty not to lie, in my view. Do you agree?

Peace is generally preferable to war, I agree. The Russians should stop their war of choice ASAP.

I am not enjoying it. Trust me on this.

It has to do with your selective attention to nazis in Ukraine at the expense of nazis in the Kremlin.

What alternative do you have in mind?

Rather than fighting against neo-Nazis, Putin has been supporting far-right extremists including white supremacists, for years. Russia has nurtured ne...

It could be worse. The Russians could have taken Kiev for instance.

And I for one wish they keep 'losing' it as effectively as they have so far.

Unlike your lies, which someone else put in your mouth.

JJ Goldman loooooves American music. This is a nice bouncy blue grass / blues on an interesting story. She had a baby all alone She made a baby on her...

There are shadows in "I love you" Not just love, not just that Traces of time that linger There's a contract in these words You say love has its langu...

No they are not. The ones that are as involved as one can be are the actual belligerants: Ukraine and Russia. So you agree it's bad for most businesse...

There are many factors at play here, including I would think the recent contracts for the f-35 in Finland and Switzerland. And that's just one company...

You're welcome to surrender at any time.

Well then, you might wish to tone down the insults. And I find your interest in blaming the West suspicious, when the topic is a war started by Russia...

Why do you behave so aggressively then, if we are talking of a mere tactical difference but agree on the goal? Why are you so angry at folks who think...

There's a fourth option you forgot to mention: The US and Europe supply weapons, intelligence, political and media support to Russia in its war agains...

For one, Putin can find in him the strength to make peace, irrespective of the US. He doesn't need the support of the US to do so. For two, so can Zel...

How is the US 'rejecting peace negotiations'?

Define 'nazi'.

I do read it.

I used to think so but I then checked on the corresponding Reddit thread, and found it better than here...

As I pointed out already, history is relevant to the present IFF you can derive a lesson from it applicable in the present. Otherwise it's water under...

Mods have been wallowing in low quality themselves on this thread, and have consistently played the anti-NATO flute. Disappointing.

My advice to you, Stench, and to the other Kremlinophilic idiots here, is to stop lying. Try a little intellectual rigor and honesty for a change. Oth...

A minimum level of intellectual honesty would be required for an average conversation, not to mention for a philosophical one, and Isaac has proven ma...

That's a lie.

The US has the best bombs.

Of course not. It must be said again and again and again that NATO is evil evil evil. Of COURSE!

As was your whole absurd scenario... I trust the US would not bomb Jamaica if it tried to enter an alliance between China, Canada and Mexico. It's all...

If Canada and Mexico wanted to enter in a strategic alliance with China, what would it say about their perception of the US as a neighbor? Instead, Ca...

:up:

Why is it relevant? What are the implications for the way forward? I would hope they don't attack Jamaica over the pretext that Jamaicans want to join...

On a more serious note, the morality of a military alliance such as NATO seems an interesting question, in terms of what criteria should be used. How ...

I know. NATO is evil. Evil. Evil evil evil evil.

Bless be he.

Maybe but not sure what the advantage would be. Allowing conscription?

The fact that Russian propaganda is feeding this narrative and blowing it out of any sensible proportion is precisely the reason we are talking about ...

Weren't you the one who introduced this great book here? Including to me. Tx for it. It did help me get more relaxed about metaphysics, more understan...

On the contrary, it's the latest craze in Moscow and beyond to remind us all constantly that NATO is evil. It's far more than just a fashion: almost a...
