It's a pizza slice out of the broader pie of facts, which you are mostly omitting. Mostly in regard to what actually happened in the years following: Ukraine drifted even further from NATO aspirations, going so far as to pass a bill in

Maybe so, but Russia is still winning in Ukraine. It's pushing toward a stalement, far short of its initial invasion goals and at vastly heavier cost than intended. No need for cockiness on either side.

Any "plan" to put them in a position where they are "powerless" basically forces them to flex that option Except it doesn't, as we have seen with another nuclear power in the course of its psychotic attempt to inv

The war started in 2014, Obama the Picnic planner did nothing knowing full well it was coming. What reason do we have to believe that he "knew full well" it was coming?

It's actually completely irrelevant. The article wasn't even about stuff found in his grave, but in the area surrounding it. Had nothing to do with the soldier's status at all. Yet it triggered all this weird, heated discus

Heavens -- it had nothing to do with wanting to make people feel comfortble. Or walking on eggshells otherwise. It was just a way of showcasing how vacuous it was, the commenter's suggested innuendo -- that the reason the internet&#x2

This is how oppression starts More often though it starts with wave after wave of logical fallacy. As applies to your critique above, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slippery_slope

Not even. But if you think I do, well, that can't be helped I guess.

You are getting downvoted because we are witnessing the beginning of the rehabilitation of WWII Germany. That's just divisive rhetoric. Nothing of the sort is happening. The end goal is to paint the Holocaust as simply one of many

Watching high school kids in Palo Alto chant a literal genocidal slogan was a wake-up call. Except most likely it wasn't. An actual, "literal" genocidal slogan, that is. The simple, boring fact is -- whatever import along

Very sure. It does seem quite likely that, by the time Putin made the decision he did in 2022 -- if he could have also grabbed the Baltics, he would have.

It's not about burying anything. People know exactly what is meant. I just like to deny that little hormone activation spike that some people seem to get whenever they encounter that word.

This entire war Russia launched could have been avoided if Obama had not ignored it and Biden acted decisively in the first 6 months. This sentence contradicts itself, twice over actually. Just think about the order of events.

Nobody is required to respect anybody else's grave. But no grave should be intentionally disrespected. Doesn't matter who's in there, or who was in charge of their country way back when.

There are no bad countries, only bad streams of traffic. Some of which have been observed to be associated with certain countries.

Seems like 'little red book' vibes to me. Except the anecdote is painfully overstretched. Apparently that distribution was limited in scope, and only some 150k soldiers were given the 'little grey book' (Zarathustra)

We'll see if it comes to anything, first. Until then, it doesn't have the property of being significant.

Except it's not "the perspective of a Russian". It's just the regime's funhouse mirror presentation of that perspective. There's no substance to the "Ukraine was persecuting ethnic Russians" line, in

Even the article you're attempting to draw support from didn't attempt to claim that "Hitler took a lot of influence" from Nietzsche. At most it was second-hand, through another guy whom barely anyone remembers these da

Alas, you are mistaken. Simply put: there's a huge difference between being outright conquered, occupied, and subject to the control of a puppet regime (like Poland, Ukraine, Greece), and the local regime proactively deciding to form

Now he's beholden to Putin. Sucks for him, and it can't possibly be good for the US either. But the Obama administration should have known better before pushing him into that hole.

Nietzsche is there but Hitler took alot of influence from him. Nietzsche was to Hitler what Marx was to Stalin. Pure nonsense.

Unfortunately, nobody listens to the Baltic countries, or even hears a word they say. The people who voted for the winner in the recent US election obviously don't. It's doubtful they can find the Baltics on a map. But in Europ
