Are you saying a “Draw” would be ok? This is what I’ve been suggesting all along with my give “Putin an exit ramp” comments so we return to the status quo, more or less. An early draw is better, much, much better, than a draw after global attrition involving WMDs. This is what we are risking...

You have never heard of a “White peace”? As it looks now, a chain of events has started with the top nuclear powers apparently committing to a polarized outcome. How does one price that kind of risk?

Bah! My remaining brain cell can’t take it! It must be both the FAS and lead based paint. Going back to trucking!

It seems reasonable to say NATO is now committed to the outcome of the Russian-Ukrainian war. If this is the case, any action of NATO’s that might be interpreted as “Backing down” becomes very hard. We may just have entered the “Must be a winner (And thus, a loser)” zone.

All wars probably see war crimes by both sides. You think any major country was innocent in WWII, for example? The test in my opinion is if an attack on civilians was specifically sanctioned by leadership while the other side did not engage in war crimes. Collateral damage is guaranteed in...

The post was intended for Bugenhagen.

I have not reached a conclusion. On the surface, your points seem merely a justification for us to do what we want, when we want, hypocrisy be damned! However, I respect your perspectives and need to have a think before committing to a position regarding your post. Besides, Bugenhagen may be...

Try this: instead of suggesting to everybody how dumb I am, how about showing us how smart you are with specific points from your vast knowledge that discredit my points? Please educate me(Us), I(We) beg you.

I have looked up and read your posts regarding the “Cuban Missile Crises faux analogy”. Yes, please say more when you get a chance. Thanks. Remember, if we take an excessively hardline against Russia, it gives Putin something, say quotes from Western news media, to sell to the Russian people...

Yes. Look up “Bay of Pigs”, the failed US sponsored amphibious assault on Cuba. From wikipedia.org: The Bay of Pigs Invasion (Spanish: invasión de bahía de Cochinos; sometimes called invasión de playa Girón or batalla de Girón, after the Playa Girón) was a failed landing operation on the...

That all you got? Some content, please. Anything supported by facts or at least well reasoned would be appreciated.

Remember the Cuban Missile Crisis? Wasn’t Cuba a Sovereign nation who was willing to let their Russian friend use some of Cuba’s land for a missile base? How did the United States react? Some would argue the Cuban Missile Crisis establishes precedent in certain international situations that...

From Arstechnica: After maskless schmoozing, DC elite hit with COVID outbreak Several events have been linked to the outbreak as people let their guard down. A growing number of high-ranking officials, lawmakers, aides, and journalists have tested positive for COVID-19 this week amid an...

Are you suggesting that posts you deem as propaganda should not be responded to? My responses are based on perceived facts or at least my reasoning. I post my reasoning for all to view and challenge if they want. My ideas may support or denigrate another’s point of view or parts thereof...

Reply to this post is inline, below: QUOTE="Master Pu, post: 5575213, member: 525310"]This text is now going viral around the globe being forwarded from person to person via contact lists. No idea if this kosher, as in having been written by Putin himself, but certainly an interesting way to...

Reply is inline, below: QUOTE="bookish, post: 5572772, member: 497923"]Some things that are not making it into the media, yet. 1) Russia paid for the port. A source or at least more detailed information is needed here. 2) Ukraine was playing keep-away, trying to choke Russia. Again...

Free Live Room access? From an experienced pro? Sounds great. However, I’ve been wondering what goes on in the Back Room!

Oh come on, now. Don’t you have confidence in our youth? Those 21 year old or so University of Chicago interns who spend a good part of their day protecting democracy, or at least Democrats, with their fact checking?

I was hoping you were going to expand on something positive Putin said last week. Putin apparently stated that he had no issue with Ukraine joining the EU. Zelensky said something positive in regards to the contested areas. Sounded like peace overtures to me, but the Biden Administration came...

Reply to your post is inline, below: QUOTE="Master Pu, post: 5573463, member: 525310"]Ukraine together with NATO provoked Putin and now you are crying about the consequences? Please help refresh our memories of who ordered the use of a nerve agent and radiological poison against Great Britain...
