The problem is that USA twice messed with Ukraine sovereignty, first in 2004, and then in 2014 turned this country to a proxy, puppet state, bulwark against Russia. And that's why this war started, because Russia can not allow Ukraine

Sounds more than plausible, and indeed likely. It's also quite possible that Biden's gaffe in calling Trump supporters "garbage", on its own, dinged Harris's campaign more than all the fallout from the Israel-Gaza

And Putin invaded for the genocide Banderites were committing in Donetsk. So how do you think it's possible that this "genocide" was taking place at the time, when even now, several years later -- you will not be able to fi

I’m asking rhetorical questions You may want to try understanding what has factually been happened in the conflict. You know, for its own sake. Instead of just asking rhetorical questions, and imagining the stories that you think peopl

Reductio ad Hitlerum doesn't have anything to do with what those words mean, either. Or have any bearing otherwise on what Harris said in that context.

A "worshiper" he is not, per what the sibling commenter said. But he's definitely quite naive, and is inadvertently serving Putin's interests.

At least you have some clarity now about the nature of the person you voted for.

Do you seriously think that we would be in the current situation had NATO flat out told Ukraine "no" They did in fact give a flat "no" to both George and Ukraine, and that was the key outcome of the 2008 Bucharest Summ

That wasn't the phrase under contention. Here it is again: The southern border is non-existent It's completely vacuous. Pure semantic garbage.

Except that's not the definition of either of those words, and has nothing to do with what they actually mean. It's just an internet meme - designed to be, you know, cute and funny. Try your local library instead.

That's just word salad, and doesn't change the central fact: NATO formally rejected Ukraine's membership application in 2008 It's exactly the same as when you get rejected by Google - of course you get a nice ema

After hot debate, NATO declared that Ukraine would eventually become part of NATO in 2014. It did no such thing. NATO formally rejected Ukraine's membership application in 2008. And there it has sat, in the doghouse, ever since. T

The same guy, in March 2014, claimed that he didn't know whether Russia had invaded Crimea.

Excuse me? You may want to look at the definition of the f-word, and how it differs from the N-word, at some point.

And who is that, specifically? And you actually think they're important enough to pay any attention to?

No analogy there, either.

The part you need to focus on is where he says: "I wish the first time it was done correctly."

Anyone can get one if they pay enough and don't have any better prospects. Not true at all (in terms of STEM degrees from legitimate schools).

You respond with the equivalent of "well maybe you're not an intellectual" . That isn't what they said. They said that the PhD, by itself, isn't sufficient evidence of intellectualism. Which is a perfectly natur

The bias is suggesting that we are suppose to think he wants to put his daughter in a gas chamber who converted to judaism So who is saying you're supposed to think that, actually?

And that is equivalent to invading Iraq? No, it's equivalent to being just another windbag politician who, depending on which way the wind blows, and what he thinks his audience wants to hear, will happily support all the big, bad ev

No, because he went on to elaborate: "I wish the first time it was done correctly." Indicating his clear, unequivocal support.

You don't have to admit anything. I just find it strange that you hold up Cheney as an icon of evil (which I suppose he is), to such an extent that it was his endorsement of Kamala that persuade you to switch to Trump, as if Trump was

by aguaviva 2y ago
The question stands: why the distortion? And more to the point -- the simple fact is, at the time Trump went along with Cheney's slaughterfest just like everybody else: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42070803

Democrats don't say or do anything other than call Trump Hitler and Republicans Nazis and Americans either deplorables or garbage. I don't have time to waste on that nonsense. Then don't. Because it really doesn't hav

The US set the precedent of changing borders with Kosovo. The US did not attempt to annex Kosovo and admit it as a 51st state. I'm also not aware of any pronouncements from an American presidents in regard to "the historical un

Hmm -- if someone threw that comment at my direction, I'd just assume they were a complete idiot, and not worth a further second of my time. I certainly wouldn't take it as a cue that I need to "man up", or that I shoul

Do you really believe the Dems would do less war? They are literally siding with Dick Cheney. And guess what? During the Iraq War, Trump sided with Dick Cheney as well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42074276
