Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Easterner: Sorry to hear that. I've lost a few friends over this whole mess, received threats from other sources. For what it's worth, thanks for standing up for Ukraine. I don't really have the option to be indifferent since it's our home here. As an American I can leave, but I have others that don't want to, or medically can't tolerate the travel. We keep our heads up and enjoy every moment we can. I hope some of you guys make it out here after this is all over. It is truly a place worth visiting at least once. The first time I came here I couldn't stop thinking about coming back. Now I pray for the peace to return to everyone here.

Now we get threats, called liberals, called the enemy. etc.. soros supporters, i can go on and on. Ive been here a long time and i absolutely hate the way it is here now. Ive known alot of the guys here for awhile and shared alot of funny memories and good times... I now have the same guys trash me due to my stance on Ukraine, been called a piece of shit by the same guys, called a democrat, liberal, and I am a staunch Biden voter and shit like that... I just sit here like wtf? what the fuck is going on?? ..Sorry to hear that. I've lost a few friends over this whole mess, received threats from other sources.

And yes my wife and I have already spoke on visiting! It's an absolutely beautiful country. I will never bow down from name calling and threats, and if I lose friends (which I have here). Then so be it. What the USA is doing for Ukraine is right 100 percent, history will show this. It' does suck seeing alot of these guys here be blinded by there hatred for our administration to not be able to see what is right. I never thought someone would be so hateful for having different opinion on a subject. Never used to be this bad here. It's a shame. But you good sir are doing the lords work! And I applaud you! I look forward to the day I'll be able to come there and buy you a beer! |

TOS Klingons we’re very different. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Tiberius: Originally Posted By fervid_dryfire: Originally Posted By Tiberius: Originally Posted By fervid_dryfire: Originally Posted By panthermark: USSR/Russia are basically the Zakdorn of Star Trek TNG.

There are WAY more parallels between them than any other. That said, "we" obviously believed Russia was far more competent and capable than they are or have been, for quite some time. If present-day Russia really were as dangerous to us as the Romulans were to the Federation, we'd be in serious trouble- as much- now as back in the height of Cold War tensions. In TOS the Klingons were the USSR, the Romulans were the Chinese. Post-Soviet Russia is like the Cardassians…. ...which might make the Ukrainians the Bajorans? The Klingons care about honor and saving face- like, a LOT; their abilities at espionage are generally limited- that's much more in keeping with them being a Chinese/Japanese amalgamation. I don't see significant parallels with Klingons and Russia. Romulan/Chinese...yeah, I can kinda see it. Keep in mind they changed how Klingons were portrayed in TNG and later…..to reflect the naive belief that the Russians wanted to be our friends and the Cold War was over. TOS Klingons we’re very different. Okay, fair points. I am suddenly reminded of Terminator 2, and John Connor's disbelief about Skynet's plan. "Why attack Russia? Aren't they our friends now?" "Oh you sweet summer child."

Since there's a lull in the action as UA consolidates, I'd like to bring something up about this. Our 2A activism forum is in a sad state of disrepair and lacks satisfactory visibility. (I'd argue that it deserves its own main menu item.) The site is always talking about bringing new shooters into the fold but is doing little to channel them (or old shooters) into activism. I posted 10 months ago in the suggestion forum and GB acknowledged it but not a thing has been done. It's a crucial time for us and we're not harnessing potential support. So I'm bringing it up here, in case anyone wants to post in that thread or create a new one to encourage some action on that front. It wouldn't be a bad time for the site to promote something we can all agree on. Here's the suggestion thread https://www.ar15.com/forums/General/Revive-the-Pro-2nd-Activism-Forum/2-2510097/ Here's the 2A Activism forum (that no one knows about )https://www.ar15.com/forums/General/Pro-2nd-Activism/156/ |

Posted in GD, but worth sharing here:
Chinese disappointment in Russia's performance in the war increasing, now being called "weak goose" Originally Posted By jackthom8: Click To View Spoiler https://www.whatsonweibo.com/why-russia-is-nicknamed-the-weak-goose-on-chinese-social-media/ Taking a way a major Chinese ally from a position where it could help them politically and materially from a misguided adventure in Taiwan is a big win. It also helps that the PRC's help to Russia has largely been non-existent with Russia having to turn to Iran and North Korea for military materials. This is something Pooty will not forget and likely not forgive (not that he can afford to show that in public) going into the future. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By K0UA: I am in an interesting situation on this board. I joined again,( I joined several years ago but was not active) in January 2022. So I had very little familiarity with the entire site before the war started in February. I hung out in the Ham radio sub forum some and still do, but this particular thread has occupied almost all of my time on this site. I have only strayed over to other threads only a little bit, and the other war threads have really shocked and disappointed me. Almost as much as seeing Tucker Carlson turn in to a idiotic Putin lover. I could not believe the Ukraine hatred in so much of the conservative community. Even some relatives were and are on the Russian side. Which astounds me. But I guess I can just be astounded, but it is what it is. Russia (still communist) has worked for over 15 years to infiltrate and steer the conservative movement the same way they controlled the hippy/leftist movements for decades. RT News was introduced as an alternative to US news and they used conspiracy stories to attract the growing patriot wing of conservatives. Alex Jones/InfoWars operation is the leader of the "paytriot ($$$)" talk show news websites and hundreds of them parrot his "news" which is all RT News, Tass, and Sputnik bullshit. He also has very close ties to Russian politicians, intellectuals, and media and they have been assisting his operation since before the Russian invasion of Georgia (which he was on Russia's side of course with "secret triple-verified info"). The purpose is to control the right wing so that pressure is applied to the Republican party to alter foreign policy in favor of Russia. And the honey pot (to suck conservatives into reading and believing this crap) is by posting 2nd Amendment news, preparedness info, globalist history, alternative medicine info, border wall/immigration articles, fredom/liberty issues, etc. Gullible conservatives figure that if a website puts out the truth on these topics then all the articles about "Putin being a Christian fighting the globalists for all Americans" must be true. And in that theme, Ukrainians are all Nazis working for George Soros to undermine Christian Putin who is fighting the New World Order. Yes, if you didn't know it, MANY conservatives belive this hook, line and sinker. See my many posts where I exposed Tucker Carlson and his Russian advisor. There is no way these people are so adimate about defending Russia unless there is money being funneled to them. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By dillydilly: Absolutely. Just trying to spread truth in the midst of a lot of bs. I mean dude, my own fil spouts Russian talking points and HE’S Ukrainian lol! I don’t hate him. I just don’t put up with the lies and always counter it with intelligent arguments. On top of that I have family in Russia lol. My uncle lives there. They literally didn’t believe a war was happening back in March until they received a call from family in Ukraine sharing how their kids fled Kiev on the first night of attacks. I have Russian friends. Some are pro-Russia, and others aren’t. I don’t hate any of them. Just the orcs.  They’ve just been fed Russian lies all of their lives. In fact when I was a kid I would just say I was Russian because whenever I’d say I was Ukrainian, people would just respond with “isn’t that the same thing as Russian?” This war, as horrific as it is, has opened the eyes of many to the truth. Yes, there’s a lot of bullshit, but Ukraine is real. Its people and culture are real and unique. They just wanna to raise their families in peace, to prosper, and to be left alone. It's a complicated mess between the mixed nationalities, propaganda, fake news, and ignorance. It may be similar to the American Civil War with members of the same family split. |
