War in Ukraine

It's a tsunami of stupid.

 

Perhaps you can list all the ways in which the invader (Russia) qualifies as the good guy.

 

What are you talking about?!

Russia invaded Ukraine because Ukraine is nazis who were intent on first invading Russia, then taking over the world!!










(at least that's what MTG and the Trumppublican Russian stooges tell me. So it must be true.)

 

He's trolling. No one is that uninformed.

 

Khadafi was living large? Whenever he traveled, he lived in a tent.

 

I’m not particularly sure what you mean here. All I was trying to say was a person with a hedonistic lust for life such as Putin is not going to risk nuclear war until his neck is absolutely on the line. And his neck would not be on the line in Ukraine.

 

Perhaps you can point to where I ever painted them as "the good guys".

 

Context would only ruin your pabulumic talking points.

 

Your predigested tractarianism.

 

Better said than what I posted. It seems that totalitarian regimes make boisterous scary threats and it moves our demands to give something up to get them to say they won’t commit suicide. It is a tactic of the insane.

 

He is still alive? I used to say I was a George will republican.

 

That’s a saying that I just might have to steal!!!

 

The whole thread?

Damn straight.

 

I'll elaborate on my prior post:

"the enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend".

...but the animosity can be useful.

e.g.-- In WW II, Russia was Germany's enemy. We found them useful as such. We helped them out.

Didn't make us friends with the commies.

...just a matter of priority at the time.

Today, Russia is pretty far down the depth chart of threats to us.

Chicoms, terrorists, Hamas, our national debt, progressivism, fenty, drug cartels, institutional integrity, corruption, sex trafficking...surely others still, represent a far greater threat to us, than your Russian boogeyman.

That doesn't make me a Putin fanboi.

 

George is an old school republican that was often the "voice" of the GOP.
I was heartened by his excoriating Trumpism and the hijacking of the GOP.

He, like many other "sane" Republicans have gotten lost in the quicksand of trumpism, maga and the fools that have taken over the party.

 

Since we’re all going to be speaking Russian tomorrow I will be conducting classes …

Russian Classes: How to respond to 'How is it going?'

 

I think I just made it up. It certainly is accurate.

 

Again, I point out that you accurately assess the PRC as the greatest threat. Why do you think the PRC is so invested in a Russian victory in Ukraine? It’s not a trick question.

 

Diversion.

(...and im not at all convinced that the chicoms are invested in Russia winning. They're *interested*...in the war... going on...and on...).

 

Need a little more than that. Without going into the realm of the classified, there are lots of open-source indications that Russia coordinated its invasion with China both to not distract from the Olympic Games and to be complete with military operations by the end of April 2022 (that second part didn’t work out). Why did China need Russia to have secured overwhelming victory by May? What is significant about that timeframe for China? Anyone can answer but the Navy man. It’s too obvious for him.
