    I dunno, the US won the Cold War, but "Red Dawn" is still considered a dogshit movie.

    How old are you, again? When in history have the Russians been trustworthy? :lol:

    So, once again, instead of admitting that you’re a dumbass who doesn’t know WTF he’s talking about, you throw up sandwich toppings in hopes of distracting us as you run away. You might be faster than Dayton, since you’re not stumping away with one foot, but you’re certainly not any smarter.

    What in the history of warfare possibly makes you that regime change is a good idea? Because that's what this all about, more the same foreign policy we've seen for the past twenty + years, it's not a humanitarian effort.

    First you said reliable, now you're saying trustworthy. The Russians have been reliable in the past. JFK got them to move the missiles from Cuba. That was a move towards being more reliable peace partners. JFK also got them to agree to the test ban treaty. Bush got them to agree to non-nuclear proliferation. Obama got them to agree to the NEW START Treaty. Granted, since 2014 things have gotten worse, but some of that is on us. It's not as black and white as people like to make it out to be.

    No I didn't have a stroke, I had a change of opinion based on changing circumstances on the ground. You know, what rational people do. We've sent them the aide that I said we should do, but that doesn't mean my support isn't without criticism or concern. It's possible to have multiple thoughts and feelings on any given subject at any given time. It also doesn't mean my support is limitless, especially if we are being lied to by our government and if Zelynski isn't sharing information with us.

    I admitted I am not a military strategist, but considering that pipeline was supplying needed oil to our allies, I don't think it was wise to blow it up at that time. I understand that our oil overlords want control of that area and that might bein our interest, but as I understand it, this is not yet another war over oil, or so I hear.

    Law and strategy are two entirely different things. Something can be strategic to do, but not legal, and the reverse is also true.

    If it was anyone other than those allied with Russia that blew up the pipeline, don't you think that they would have discussed it with other nations before they did it? Don't you think that the largest exporter in the world (that would be us, ATM) would agree to pick up the slack? It doesn't take a genius to figure this stuff out, come on.

    Once again you demonstrate you have zero fucking understanding of whatever fucking pro-Russian right wing YouTuber talking point you are regurgitating at the moment.

    It was a natural gas pipeline. Gas. Not oil. Not a single drop of oil has ever moved or would ever move through the pipeline. Not a drop.

    Trustworthy and reliable are synonyms, you absolute knob. I would like you to explain exactly why Khrushchev withdrew missiles from Cuba, for the class. :bailey:

    Zelenskyy isn't sharing information, because the last time he shared info with us, we fucking leaked it.

    Even it didn’t happen before the leaks (it did), we’re funding their war, they should be sharing everything with us irregardless.

    It's about heritage, not hate, says The New York Times about Nazis in Ukraine.

    Prior to the Russian invasion, The New York Times had no problem pointing out the Nazis in Ukraine

    Oh Lawd, take me now. For truly I have already seen all the glory of your kingdom.

    Where else could I ever seen a ‘libertarian’ quote World Socialist WebSites uncritically and without context except in the promised land?!?!?
