because the fact of living in an era of fluid postmodern definitions
As an avid postmodernist, I’ll be honest, I could have been wrong for years fundmanetally. Since 2016 and the post-truth era, my world has been rocked upside down. I’m not willing to give up, because of the hijacking, yet…
They are pushing so hard for mainstream Americans to care about this “war.”
They are DYING for an event to justify America entering the arena directly.
And 51 sops it up.
Fixed it for you.
A lot of people care about this war. And you should too. I just don’t understand why you condone a guy like Putin murdering children.
You’re an isolationist - and if you look at history that’s typically not worked out well.
Putin and Xi have put into play ideas about national destiny and an offending Western liberalism.
Sound familiar?
Nothing wrong with anarchism, in theory.
But to be honest, I believe in government and taxes and to your point, you are wrong again.
Both Ukraine and Russia are corrupt, however, Ukraine is more corrupt. Its oligarchs have raped the country for two decades. They own an inordinate amount of the nation’s wealth including all the important media outlets. The difference in the two countries is that Putin is a strong leader and is able to keep the Russian oligarchs in line while they have almost no constraints in Ukraine. Ukrainian oligarchs are joined by scions of American oligarchs such as the Bidens, Pelosis, Kerrys, and Romneys. Ukraine, especially in the energy sector, has been a treasure trove for those willing to sell out their country in exchange for influence. Add to that dynamic, you have the Nazis who have a long history in Ukraine. The Ukrainian Army is infiltrated with Nazis who are more devoted to warfare and keep troops from surrendering.
The most aggressive and elite group of Nazis were those in Mariupol, home of Azovstal, Ukraine’s largest steel mill owned of course by Ukraine’s wealthiest oligarch who uses the Nazis as his private army that routinely maltreats and harms the local ethnic Russians
Reading reports from the Russian military, the Nazis are holed up in the steel mill holding some civilian hostages. Small contingents of them surrender each day. Correspondence between those under siege reveals that they want to surrender but the Ukrainian government has commanded them to continue fighting. Over two hundred attempts have been made to breakout from the siege. All of them have failed. The Russian Army has issued an ultimatum of surrendering and survivorship versus annihilation. Already the TU bombers have dropped 500 lb bombs on selected targets at Azovstal, but unless total surrender occurs this week, they will reduce the entire Azovstal to rubble.
Ukraine cannot win this war against Europe’s largest, best equipped Army. For that matter, neither could NATO fight a conventional war against Russia. Sending weapons to Ukrainians is a guarantee that more will die. And, the weapons we send them are outdated and no match for the latest generation Russian weapons. Even the United States could not win a conventional ground war in Europe against Russia. Logistics favor the Russians. It would not be a turkey shoot against an inferior opponent as we faced in the Middle East.
The Western media is owned by our own oligarchs and the reporting is overwhelmingly pro-Ukraine. There are numerous specious reports about the Ukrainian army defeating Russians, but those face offs rarely happen. The strategy of the Ukrainian Army is that of fighting behind civilians used as human shields.
Prolonging the war is destroying our monetary system and world reserve currency status. Russia is making a killing selling energy at the high inflated price. Europe is completely at Putin’s mercy and could beliving in the dark if Putin shuts down the pipelines. Sanction cannot work against a nation that produces food and has limitless domesticenergy. Where are the peaceniks that ordinarily take the side of the communists" Where are Fonda and Kerry, true American traitors? Shouldn’t American have reservations about supply weapons to Nazis. Ukraine cannot win, and it is contrary to the rights of the innocent people of these two nations to prolong the violence.
Don’t despair Djrion. I was once a liberal and believed that I was on a sacred rescue mission for mankind. The way out is through belief in the rights of individuals not groups to pursue happiness. You actually have the makings of a fine citizen, and I enjoyed some of your posts about urban development. Your biggest problem Dj is a lack of skepticism and the belief that university professors should be our societal leaders. You’ll recall Plato had that same thought. I’ve spent my whole life in and around universities, and the chief mundane worry of professors more concerns their parking places than saving the world. Societies flourish by governance on the local level. Nothing is better in America than small town, rural life. It took me some time to realize this. Read Milton Friedman and throw your Keynesian stuff onto the trash heap.
Anarchists, particularly Neo-anarchists, are quite fine with government and taxes.
They are essentially hyper-Marxists and not really anarchists by definition.
You supported mass riots in the street, the defunding of police, the very attack on democracy for 4 years. Own it.
Yet another unnecessarily long post from Bikki.
Bikki - Russia attacked Ukraine, entirely unprovoked. That alone makes them wrong. And the fact you side with a thug like Putin who has no problem murdering children is appalling.
it’s so funny…The only people that give a flying fuck about this war are age 16-27 urban white women that simply put the “Stand with Ukraine” bumper sticker right where the “Vaccine Saves Lives”, “BLM”, “EMPATHY” and “Love Trumps Hates bumper stickers”
Oh and djrion
Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
I realize that you don’t give a fuck about a dictator murdering children.
Violin time again…And also catchy cliche time
Point proven. Again.
Violin time…Again
Point proven. Again. Another loss for Qkeeter. Again.
Watch how long this bratty cunt drags it on for
Says the guy who created four other threads for no reason other than to….drag it on.
You’ve been owned.
Warden still posts just as much others on this board huh?
I really had to show you how to do math huh?
You’re 0-or-the-weekend…Then you dragged it on in typical cunt fashion.
Has Warden ever gotten so upset with another poster that he felt the need to create FOUR other threads announcing how upset he was?
I’m waiting.
