You know you're right, Dan - 'pernicious' is not the best mental model to use here. No matter how ineluctably dreary some of these leavings my seem. So a non-reciprocal response would be more effective.

All I can say, dan (and knowing this won't change your action): this wasn't my intent. You've got some straight-up trolls running around, posting blatantly pernicious nonsense in regard to these topics -- obviously without si

Look, I don't have time to go down these rabbit holes with you. I'd just like you to consider one the following: Yes, the Iraq invasion thoroughly evil and insane and stupid, and probably illegal. And yes, it was driven by prepo

The thing is he doesn't just "reference" the paper - he takes it out of context to suggest that it "serves as a kind of proof of concept for ethnically targeted bioweapons" (something the paper doesn't say at

The young men of Ukraine are being killed at a rate of 7-1 vs Russia, with nothing to show for it but 300k dead Ukrainian young men. You have this information from where, exactly?

I have never, ever suggested that the COVID-19 virus was targeted to spare Jews. And yet, in his taped comments he said exactly that: “There is an argument that it is ethnically targeted. Covid-19 attacks certain races disproportion

The bridge is clearly military infrastructure (and bringing it down will have significant military impact). Just not exclusively so. Why is the West helping them do this? To bring an end to this insanity. As soon as humanely possible.

I did mention. But you keep talking around it. You still can't bring yourself to say who these people were. Or what happened to their descendants.

In Ukraine Russian speakers are hardly the minority. What's this supposed to mean? Certainly it's not referring to the portion of native speakers.

How many times has Russia invaded western Europe? Since "Western" Europe now includes Poland, the Baltics, Moldova and Finland - perhaps you can answer that question for us. For extra credit: which "Western" country d

Why did you ask? Probably because you keep neglecting to mention, for some strange reason, the ethnic group that made up some 90 percent of the population the peninsula at the time of the (not so peaceful) 1783 annexation. Let alone what

And how did Russia come to "own" the peninsula again? What happened to its original inhabitants? Which treaty did the RF sign in 1994 pledging to respect existing borders of Ukraine -- including its sovereignty over the Crimea --

I have not called on Ukrainians to lay down their arms. Right - it would be impolitic to say this directly. What you are doing instead is (effectively) calling for the cessation of all military aid. Which would inevitably force the Ukrai

And if you think Russia had or has the goal of eliminating the Ukrainian people, reason and debate cannot reach you anymore. О боже, нет. Not all of them. Just those few thousand or soon the "kill or capture" lists that were c

Because it was Russian for almost 200 years But in name only, you meant to say. Because it was populated by a very solid majority of Crimean Tatars (and very few Russians) up until 1860 or so, you mean to say. That is, until shortly afte

I hope this helps! To disinform as only CleverBot 2.0 can -- its very helpful indeed. Russia has lost a fifth of the territory it once controlled in Ukraine. By comparing ISW maps -- it has easily lost more than 50 percent of the territ

Javascript is the new Python in many shops. So while one doesn't have to know JS, it will definitely get you through a lot of doors. And not knowing it, or being too stubborn to keep your skills in it polished will keep you in the dog
