Nice is-ought mistake there. Selective in your history too. And nowhere have I suggested everybody should be the same. And no I don't feel like expand...
I answered it. When you figure out what I actually said as opposed to what you want me to say in a pathetic "gotcha" attempt, the answer will be autom...
Fuck off frank. 1. Make an argument. 2. Stop making this personal. There's nothing wrong with my moral compass. The day all countries respect sovereig...
Why do you disagree with this? I thought we already established the proxy war fought over the Ukraine since well before that? The strategic importance...
I don't have a crystal ball so no clue really and I don't trust the news in normal times and actively distrust it in war times. If it's written by a U...
It's funny how criticism and disagreement is immediately set aside as informed by ideology. That way you don't have to engage. Kissinger, Mearsheimer ...
Well that's patently false. You were fishing for one answer and one answer only, that people choose the side of the USA. And when they don't you cry t...
I have lived in Lampertheim and worked in Strassbourg if you really need to know but it's totally besides the point where it comes to understanding Fr...
Yeah, that was totally the argument I was making "there's a school somewhere, therefore you don't have a democracy". Another stupid thing to say. But ...
We have on the one hand people arguing in favour of the status quo and on the other those who say that the status quo sucks and you manage to conclude...
What's scary is the uncritical assumption democracies work. That must be why special interests and lobby groups do so well in almost all of them (*Bre...
Modest reasons for optimism. Russian minister of offence has promised to decrease military activity as a gesture of good faith resulting from the disc...
I'm talking about the derivative contracts to hedge your exchange rate risk. Those aren't currently exempted from what I understood because that's a r...
But what about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock?! Or reporting on "maybe the negotiaters were poisoned". I thought the news was about reporting facts? S...
That post wants me to go off on a tangent how the capitalist system commits violence against workers every day that Jeff and the Kochs can definitely ...
This gets more interesting with the SWIFT sanction. So the oil and gas business is not a spot market, most of it is locked in with forwards. So you ha...
On a related note, my daughter independently decided to sell some toys to raise money for Ukraine. I asked her if they talked about this on school but...
Baden had some good examples of propaganda by Western media outlets. Brushing that off as bias is in my view problematic because it suggests all journ...
Absolutely not! But I thought that was implied with my post history in this thread. :wink: But yes, a negotiated settlement is best for everyone invol...
I see you have no argument against my argument other than "this is how we've been doing it for decades!" Pretty cool of you to assume ignorance instea...
It's the only rational position in any conjoint analysis of this issue. variables: 1. Putin doesn't use nukes, no escalation 2. Putin uses nukes, no e...
I will welcome Russian tanks in my street if it avoids a nuclear war. Nothing, absolutely nothing, is worth a strategic nuclear escalation. Freedom be...
Your view is shared by quite a few politicians but for less savoury reasons. I can't do anything with this. What limitations? Why? What would stop Put...
:roll: it's not a fucking Mike Tyson fight you're betting on. There's actual people dying. The likelihood of the Ukrainians winning is inversely corre...
And don't forget the are many steps of escalation steps available to Russia between this conventional war and nukes. He'll probably drop a tactical nu...
The point is that in almost all circumstances of someone hitting you, you can walk away. If there are weapons involved you run away. Only an idiot ove...
under which circumstances can't you walk away? My wife hit me once, I told her if she did it again I'd get a divorce. Never happened again. Our dustbi...
I'm pretty confident the REUTERS picture happened. Not so much about the dumpster. It's possible and even likely, I'm just saying that there's plenty ...
In this day and age? Like people cheering the destruction of twin towers which never happened. I don't trust images especially if they're unsourced an...
