Can you explain how [4] breaks guidelines, please? I can see how [1]-[3] might appear contentious, at a very casual glance - but the wording I used in [4] was on its own terms entirely innocuous. All I'm saying is, basically -- &quot

It would seem you've made a rush to judgement in this case, Dan. I'm patiently correcting people's broken narratives -- as kindly and magnanimously as anyone reasonably can, given, as in this particular case, the highly provo

Right, but time was when one could develop and practice that wisdom without all the hooey rituals, sucking up, and insipid make-work that are Scrum. A million, trillion years ago.

They are captured right on the streets and forcefully, under threat of death, The "under threat of death" part is pure BS of course.

So presumably their view would be that the Allied cause during WW 2 was wholly illegitimate, because after all, those nations had conscription policies as well.

There was no "er,...,hhmmm, wow, ugh" in the commenter's post. To the extent that rambling and evasive rhetoric is being deployed here, it's coming from you. First you made a plainly irrational (and basically pretty sil

Palestine was historically Jewish, long before Islam was even invented in the 600s. Palestine was historically Canaanite, long before Judaism was even invented in the 1200s BCE. Yes, the Israelites, along with the Egyptians, the Assyrian

You still don't get to tell them when they "need" to negotiate.

And yet sometimes that's exactly what's happening -- and it needs to be called out. Not the "foreign agents" part; that's your insinuation of what the parent commenter said. But there's an unusual degree com

The Ukrainians will decide for themselves if and when to negotiate, and on what terms. They will also decide -- for themselves -- whether the losses they are taking are sustainable, or "worth" the just end to this war that they se

As if nobody anticipated this? This is an attempt to distract from the parent's main point, rather than respond to it.

10000 a day is indeed a bit much for what is not a defensive war. As is 10 percent of annual GDP.

Is further proof that ... It's an alt-right ecosystem that Musk is building, and it definitely strokes Putin's balls the right way, so far -- that's for sure. But that doesn't make it Putin's asset, per se.

The "the Ukrainians wanted to negotiate, but NATO wouldn't let them" line is definitely standard tankie propaganda. And lo and behold, within literal seconds of putting forth this perfectly straightforward observation -- whic

Not the one you're living under, thankfully. One can think of different ways to assess the likely outcome of an election -- but a betting market (with its gigantic built-in biases) would have to be one of the dodgiest. Meanwhile reliab

As everyone knows already. But the accused person has more than paid their dues in regard to this matter -- so there's no need to throw petty insults at them here. As if anyone here would say that to her face.

It's not disrespectful to say that. Griner's arrest, sham trial and prolonged sentence weren't about differences in "cultural norms". They came about as a part of long-term game that Russia is playing, to both gr

What Griner did hurt no one, and was no more foolish than any number of dumb things you've done in your own life. She absolutely did not deserve to have hear life nearly destroyed for the sake of Putin's sick games. Show some res

For the sake of simplicity -- I'm assuming Trump won't win at this point (it could happen but the odds are looking quite low). And unlike Trump, the new administration won't simply drop-kick Ukraine or otherwise be in a hurr

So how long do you think Ukraine can hold out if we extrapolate the casualties rates from the last 12-24 months or so? I wouldn't know because I don't have their numbers, and unlike you, I don't trust my offhand estimates.

If needs be, all major currently captured cities, will have to be included (they were already part of the previous negotiations/conditions anyway). So that's the camp you're in, then. You could have just said so from the v

Of all all this supposedly anti-war / anti-imperialist but ultimately pro-tankie sentiment never ceases.
