I am not buying the Hitler precedent. Said it before and i am saying it again.
It is a different geopolitical landscape. I also think China has been made more dangerous to the west. I know both takes are contrary to conventional wisdom.
The way it should have been handled is with every effort towards peace and mutual accomodation.

If Russia isn’t held back, it’s going to try and take over Europe. The country has gone nuts.

However:
This aid provides money for Ukraine, American partners in regions affected by the conflict, and US national security programs.
Nearly $40 billion of that aid has already gone to humanitarian relief and military security assistance. Some aid falls under a lend-lease program President Joe Biden signed in May 2022, meaning Ukraine will…[Read more]

The U.S. has spent $115B on Ukraine. There are 337M Americans, meaning we have spent $341.25 for every American man, woman, and child. If you’re a family of three, they’ve spent about $1000 in your name. But don’t worry. You won’t get a bill in the mail. The government will just print the needed money.
Are you OK with this?

From michael17: You read the mainstream explanations. Which one has your vote?
I don’t know. Mine is not to explain matters lacking sufficient evidence or expertise to describe. No shooting sparks here. I note that unidentified blank is a common occurrence. My supposition is that if it is not contrived by humans, not natural phenomena and it is…[Read more]

“Spiritual explanations”? Like maybe Yahweh, Odin, Zeus, Ahura Mazda, Gautama Buddha, and Krishna all got together, held a seance, and as a result Yahweh decided to create the universe?
Spiritualism like that?

Yes, but if these things were not so, theist would have no scientific/ archeological bases to posit spiritual explanations
You’re on the something there. It is amazing that not a single scrap of verifiable evidence for anything supernatural has been scientifically acknowledged despite the avalanche of claims made on a daily basis. One might even…[Read more]

The 2nd most powerful military in the world has to buy drones from Iran, launch rockets at civilian towns, can’t mount an air or naval campaign and has to raid museums and equipment graveyards for gear. They are toast.

Russians think they are going win by drowning Ukraine in their blood. Ukraine is much more resourceful, imaginative and motivated. When Russia runs out of criminals and ethnic minorities, Putin is a dead man.

Look at these brilliant tactics ! With that hive-mind and miserable life back home, Russian conscripts know if they retreat (an essential tactics at times), they will be murdered by their own 2nd line.

Col. Macgregor is back offering the flipside of what we are walloped over the head with daily by the mainstream press which propagandizes the notion that Ukraine is routing Russia.
According to Macgregor, inside the government it’s becoming clear that the alternative to peace is another “forever war” that (a) we can’t ultimately win and (b) which…[Read more]

RichRaelian, All well and good, but where’s the Atheism angle to the story?
a) This is the Small Talk area and b) the OP isn’t about religion, and iii) so what?

I see this as an ongoing thread. Religion and politics are supposed to be the two subjects to be avoided in polite company. I disagree.
Others are welcome to post some of their favorites. The only rule: It has to be about religion or politics.

What a libertarian dystopia the whole “web3”, crypto, NFT scam has become. Bitcoin serves no purpose other than provide money laundering while burning up energy.
