View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Every thread is a Ukraine pissing match in disguise. It's LARPing of a day in America's past where free men had debates and arguments of the issues of the day. I have a question I thought about posting, but I don’t feel like wading through pages of idiotic replies. You and Ron have the only interesting-educated-mature opinions on the anti side of the isle, anyway. (There’s Probably a couple more I left out). Perhaps we can salvage this thread? Anyway, Who do you think is the ultimate over-riding power, who is giving the orders to help Ukraine resist Russia? We know Germany was pretty cozy with Russia. We know Great Britain is pretty pacified and not all that great anymore. We know that Biden is non-coherent. It’s actually a little surprising that resistance to Russia has been as strong and unified as it is. (And I’m not saying it’s very strong or unified) Obviously, Putin didn’t expect it. You guys tell me your theories, and I’ll tell you mine. |

Quoted: And yeah, I am not surprised at all that you think the United States is a big threat to the world and that you have all your FSB talking points ready as to why Americans should see their own government as the enemy. I doubt you are in direct cahoots with the FSB, that doesn't fit your profile. What does fit is that you have been well and truly turned by their propaganda so that you have effectively become an enemy of your own country, even if that's not how you see it View Quote Damn, dude, take some meds.

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: You are deliberately keying in on one story to distort the pattern. Citing the Russian MoD is hardly the issue here. You were in the Egyptian Villa thread, proudly accepting it as unvarnished truth. That story, like so many others, likely started in the Kremlin. But, it's difficult to prove. What is easy to prove is it has zero credibility. And the media sources who managed to discover it and amplify it aways seem to find such obscure sources of information perfectly credible, with each link in the chain making bolder and bolder assertions of credibility, all while not even claiming to have done anything to validate the veracity of the story. And, these stories always seem to advance the same narrative. You never find, say, the many stories on the internet about Putin's alleged foreign property portfolio making the "ZeroHedge" cut. Funny that. Instead, we get articles about Putin's soaring domestic popularity or Russia's announcement of free grain for certain African countries.

Seems like the legit pro-Ukraine info ops posters would be the ones compiling lists of posts and trying to get people banned once they identified a particular poster as needing to be shut up to protect from hybrid russian influence or whatever they call it. If you see somebody calling people russian shills but not putting much effort into winning the argument, that's probably what is going on. They are hoping the other person will be like "Ok, I am a russian shill now, fuck you" out of spite. But I would wager the legit pro-ukraine posters generate the most hate for ukraine. |

I hate that fucking site. It’s the source of most of my dad’s opinions these days. He used to be a run of the mill religious right guy as I grew up. He distrusted the media, but interacted with the real world, his friends, and his church. Now he doom scrolls through most of his days on zerohedge and related sites.
In theory, I’m against censoring the web and social media until I see what it’s done to old people like him. It makes me think they’re aught to be rules. I understand the guy who runs the site is going through a contentious divorce and doesn’t want the government to know what he makes or how it might impact his alimony. But the anti-US tilt has gone into loon territory. And no, I don’t fact check every post. This type of fringe site exists on the “why can’t you ask questions?” approach of half truths and hype. It’s made conversation in our family impossible on so many topics. If you read it, I feel sorry for you and the people who have to deal with you on a regular basis. |

I'm guessing no, you will find some excuse to back the Kremlin even on things that don't cost the US taxpayer a penny. So then all your protestations... You've posted this before, and a number of people pointed out that would make the US a more direct party to the war than it is already, and put US companies and investors at a heighted risk of expropriation in their turn, as many parts of the US economy have direct dealing supporting the DOD or US Government more broadly. So your position is based off a false premise, namely that your obvious policy of seizure of assets is even legal, let alone a good policy for the majority of Americans. Things would change is a war were declared, but right now we have people wanting the US to take further actions permissible in war, but not at the current state of peace. The United Nations has already declared the invasion illegal. We have already imposed various sanctions on Russia as a result. These are assets belonging to Russian oligarchs that are within the territory of NATO countries. Seizing them and giving them to Ukraine is really quite in line with what we have already done and far less belligerent than sending weapons. It's a wedge question that brings out the hypocrisy in those claiming to be thinking only of the poor American taxpayer. The Russians have executed a very successful propaganda campaign. They have taken distrust of the American government and done a bit of jujitsu to turn people from critics of the government to opponents of the United States, and aligned them to outright pro Russian positions. We literally now have people who present themselves as partiots but who believe and say things like the US government is a bigger threat to freedom than the Kremlin, who think everything is a CIA plot while forwarding talking points generated by the FSB, and consider their own country to be their primary enemy. So the UN supersedes 100s of years of precedence and norms for nations? You are aware the UN has declared climate change a global emergency,as such what will you allow them to seize based on that proclamation? I think a pretty good argument could be made that elements of the so called deep are as greater a threat to the survival of the US than the Russians. Remember the FBI making up the Russia Hoax? Suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop? And it was not 51 Russian officials cited by POTUS to shut down any questions of him receiving bribes during the last campaign. Russia superceded the precedents and norms for nations when it illegally invaded Ukraine. We are well supported by the community of nations in bringing Russia to justice. What we're discussing is how. Iraq war was illegal and breached UN charter, says Annan The United Nations secretary general, Kofi Annan, declared explicitly for the first time last night that the US-led war on Iraq was illegal.

Or, AC posts a thread saying Ukrainian officials have stolen 64 MILLION!!! without specifying it's hyvyrna Monopoly money and the real value is 1.7 million US dollars. Doesn't matter, still got 6 pages of FUCK UKRAINE out of stupid GD'ers.

I usually stay out of these threads, what else is there to say anyway ?
Nobody knows what's really going on over there, who are you going to believe ? Russia ? Ukraine ? U.S. ? All three sides are known liars. None of you guys are ever going to change your stance on this topic, it's all been hashed out way too many times and every Ukraine thread should be automatically locked as a dupe at this point.
