  1. Fantasy land stuff. What I pointed out was that American foreign policy incoherence makes for the worst bedfellows, eg “AQ is on our side in Syria.” Courtesy Mr. Sullivan. And of course under his watch Julani with a 10mm terrorist bounty from the US on his head took over the presidency. For wildcats rhetorical purposes this translates to “supporting gas attacks on civilians.”
  2. I am cheering no such thing. I think that this war needs to come to an end as quickly as possible. Two ways forward, either Ukraine fights on for another who knows how many years, or some form of ceasefire and terms happen. I wish that that the latter would have been achieved back in 2022. Would have saved tens if not hundreds of thousands of lives. If the people of Ukraine want to keep this going for another 3+ years, that is certainly their prerogative. You mentioned family in Kyiv. Curious what their positions are? Do they support going to the negotiation table to bring hostilities to at least a temporary end, or do they want to continue on?
  3. Here are two senators rallying with a neo-nazi and the media treatment at the time. But tell me more about who sided with neo-nazi nationalists in Ukraine. https://grabien.com/story?id=517212 HAYES: “When Senator John McCain and Senator Chris Murphy went to stand with these protesters in December, they stood next to this guy, who is an opposition leader and who also happens to lead Ukraine's right-wing nationalist party, Svoboda. They were also first registered as a neo-Nazi party and they're in the streets right now shooting at police. You know what arguably could be called naive? Going on stage at a Ukrainian opposition rally and not realizing you're standing next to a man who heads Ukraine's right-wing nationalist party, a party that was first registered as a neo-Nazi party, which is exactly what John McCain did back in December when he stood next to Oleh Tiahnybok, the leader of Ukraine's Svoboda Party, which according to 'The New York Times' traces its roots to the Ukrainian partisan army of World War II, which was loosely allied with Nazi Germany.”
  4. Pissed off Ukrainian nationalists. Somewhere in that timeline Biden also put NATO membership on the table, and notably more temporally proximal to the invasion. https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2019-10-14/ukraine-protest-zelensky-peace-plan Far-right groups protest Ukrainian president’s peace plan
  5. Zelensky ran on ending the conflict with Russia.
  6. When this all ends, you think that the ultimate terms will be better or worse than what could have been achieved in Istanbul?
  7. Agree that they should hold elections to determine the matter.
  8. Go find Lindsay Graham and you will probably find one nearby.
  9. FTR, that is not a direct quote of what I said.
  10. Just a bunch of jingoistic bullshit. I do think it's funny that you and other posters constantly try to plant a flag for me on positions that I have never taken. Some of y'all want to fight this thing to the last Ukranian. I get it. I think that Ukraine would have been better off coming to some sort of an agreement back in 2022. But what is a few hundred thousand more dead bodies with few meaningful distinctions in outcome, I guess.
  11. You didn't like the splitting of the point and the flat on the board? I tend to agree. Maybe a little under? I generally prefer slicing the point perpendicular instead of separating. But the reference was Cornyn's brisket, which was an abomination before all things Texan and holy. Anyways, palette cleanser for you.
  12. I am on the American side of finding a path to cease the death and destruction quickly, and stop dumping endless amount of US taxpayer dollars into conflicts all around the world that only undermine our national security interests in the long run.
  13. A foreign policy strategy that incentivizes nuclear proliferation? Jesus Christ, what do you think American military interventionism over the last 25 years has demonstrated quite clearly? We have been demonstrating to the world, and in particular the Arab world, that without nuclear deterrence you are subject to the whims of American interventionism and capricious regime change based on whichever way the winds (and the propaganda) blow at the moment in DC. Again, and more to the point in this particular situation, there were lots of people out there beating the drums about the dangers of our NATO policy after the fall of the USSR. They were fucking telling us that we were doing would be viewed as an existential threat, was going to spark and get out of control, was going to end up threatening our national security as well as Europe, and potentially bring us to the brink of nuclear war. And here we fucking are. Your answer is "mOaR oF tHe SamE PlEaSe".
  14. You are one sick puppy dude. Clowns like you that want to prolong and drag out a proxy conflict between nuclear powers are worried, in rhetoric only of course, about policies and actions that increase the risk of nuclear war. What a world.
  15. That one does look a little tight in the flat, huh.
  16. This is actually a pretty good frame of reference for the basis in reality of most of your posts.
  17. You get cookies when the kids bake them, brisket and ribs when I smoke them, and on easter lots of lamb, some hard boiled eggs, and easter bread. I think most of us would get along in real life just fine, as long as politics and the particularly brain damaging toxicity of this board wasn't involved. And you might just have to deal with a car getting worked on in the driveway. As long as you don't report me to the HOA there will be no FAFO.
  18. Just amazing stuff. Good job. Immamac thinks that this is the type of shit that will save his media.
  19. And you wonder why the discussion board format is failing. Clown.
  20. I remember a time on these boards where there was broad consensus wrt the damaging blowback and long term outcomes associated with neocon foreign policy from the 90s and 2000s. It was actually a pretty broad adoption, across the political spectrum here. It's very amazing to me that all but the most dyed in the wool liberals, most of which sit on the sidelines in these exchanges now, have just totally condescended themselves to that nonsense.
  21. You guys will literally drain your entire soul into seeing this neocon experiment from the 1990s and 2000s to completion. No historical evidence nor commentary from political scientists of that time telling you all exactly how this was all going to play out will make you reconsider course. Just total fuckging cucks to the most recent barrage of short term memory media propaganda.
  22. Brain damaged posters gonna brain damage.
  23. Just more strawmanning. Just silly and unserious things for goldfish brained consumption.
