You can frame it however you want but Zelensky was the one who was looking for support. If you don't follow protocol, the you get what happened, which. is complete loss of support until you come around

Yep, Zelensky started an argument with Vance about diplomacy, referring to him informally as JD even (this was disrespectful), and that's when it started breaking down. Makes me wonder how he became a successful politician, he complete

Because we don't care to anymore. We don't want to be world policeman anymore. Take care of your problems yourself.

You are just bought into the propaganda. It's unfortunate but there is no point to a real discussion with someone as bought in as you.

If you think Clinton wouldn't spread lies and propaganda while supporting a proxy war against Russia, I don't know what to tell someone as naive as you. Have at least a little bit of critical thinking please. He said this last yea

We collectively need to stop framing geopolitics in high school terms. It's embarrassing.

Lol using wikipedia as a source. Either way, the fact remains that there was no set of events in which Ukraine would have been allowed to have nukes. If Ukraine has said no, either the new government would be replaced or Ukraine would have

This is all done in close cooperation with Germany and France and probably other EU countries too. Who was celebrating the Maidan revolution the most? Americans were barely aware of it.

Well, the US stopped Ukraine funding because of it, so seems it was a bad thing for them.

by kelipso 2y ago
No, if the US considers it be a regional conflict, then that's all it will be in terms of repercussions or interests. Maybe in terms of vague geopolitical concerns that might be relevant decades from now, though even that is unclear, b

It's a reason but it's not a strong reason. Back then Ukraine was indistinguishable from Russia, basically a small breakaway country from the USSR. So the intent was more likely that the US wouldn't attack Ukraine. Besides wh

The nukes were never under Ukraine control or possession. It's like saying Turkey has nukes, they don't, they are US nukes.

> though they really would like an American backstop. It's not a really would like. In all of their speeches by key politicians, European boots on the ground is conditional on US backstop. So it's not happening without US suppo

There is absolutely no requirement that the US has to get involved in every regional conflict in the world. Let the Ukrainians and Russians deal with their mess. There are plenty of other regional conflicts we ignore.

> If you believe that there is no NATO propaganda network that controls all of the western media, you are a victim of it. Yep, the best propaganda is one you don't even think of as propaganda. It's just the truth.

Problem with this is a misunderstanding of what a press conference after a private discussion is supposed to be about. Zelensky was trying to negotiate and argue during the press conference, with the entire world watching. All the details a

I don't think that's accurate. The population is concentrated on the west coast, all that mountainous terrain is unpopulated. Also it's an island that's very close to China.

One of the reasons for the collapse of the USSR was that the propaganda done by the US was better than the propaganda done by the Soviets. So it's not like there isn't a historical reason for this either.

Or you could do what Ezra Klein did a couple of days ago and get a mentally ummm not all there member of the other side and let them free associate the entire interview.

It’s actually really interesting from a literature perspective. Every other paragraph, you realize some word, phrase, idiom you know originated from that exact paragraph.

Lol, where do you guys keep coming from?

A lot of their families and friends are not going to be in the bunkers.

by kelipso 2y ago
Yes it did, the Cold War had just ended but Russia and USSR was still seen as the enemy by the US. It’s not that different from now. The difference is Ukraine was basically considered to be a part of Russia back then.

Great, what was really needed in this discussion was some rules lawyering nerd making some asinine point and a dig at conservatives. Good job I guess. I'm predicting a lot of people's reality will turn upside down in the near futu

It's amazing to me how even more STEM-ish fields like biology or medicine has biases like this and even censors research that align against liberal values.

by kelipso 2y ago
Isn't the likelihood insanely low like 10%? Maybe since it's a government researcher the likelihood is higher. This thought calls into question why conservatives should even support academia in general, especially liberal arts aca

I find it really hard to be sympathetic when these same people silenced voices on the right for years and now they complain that the same thing is being done to them.

Lol my mistake, I thought it was a fifth of that bottle.

by kelipso 2y ago
Fifth would be 150 ml, so around 3 shots. It’s slightly excessive but I wouldn’t call that raging alcoholism level.
