Jake,

Am sort of surprised you see the dependence on Russian oil and gas as an impediment. Markets are not fixed. It can change. In fact the threat by Nato or USA might entail going elsewhere to purchase oil and gas.

Europe is starting to switch suppliers, but they had to have their heads put over a barrel by Putin before they would change, when…[Read more]

Unseen,

You posted one article entitled: When Vladimir Putin escalates his war, the world must meet him.

This article did praise the Ukrainians for resistance.

Everything else you posted was boasting how Putin and his weaponry were strong like bull, and how all the usual suspect “experts” blamed Ukraine and the West for wearing short skirts and…[Read more]

Enco,

We really need to discuss some of these matters. These are matters we need to discuss. Full disclosure. That is what i say to Yuki the cat.

See it in thread? You may notice my brain droppings are deposited willy nilly so failing to see it is not surprising. Ideally it would HAVE BEEN (cuz it is water under the ferris wheel) NATO but it…[Read more]

Jake,

Oh i did not change my mind Enco.

I think a great many lives could have been saved. I would have and i think i said at time let Putin know privately that if any further aggression comes that he will be assassinated and All of Nato countries will attack.

Didn’t see that in the thread, but all the NATO nations would have to go along. Not…[Read more]

So you stand behind your implication that if someone doesn’t condemn something…[Read more]

Unseen,

If you opposed Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, you were a poor spokesman for making that clear. Russia Today would have lapped up your posts.

I am not saying there is any ethical justification for Russia. I am just thinking practical.…[Read more]

Jake,

Go back to the thread War In Europe: It Has Begun.

You were ready to surrender Ukraine to Putin when the fight had barely begun. And this despite opposition of Russian Jews to Putin’s invasion and despite Zelynsky being Jewish himself. And despite Putin’s own salaam-ing to Islam. You actually thought globaloney social worker talk would…[Read more]

Not one post that I could find condemning Putin for the invasion of Ukraine.

You’re actually attributing pro-Russian sympathies to me based on what I did not say. OK. Have you ever expressed an explicit condemnation of sharking or upskirting?

Oh wait Enco. By surrender you mean Islam?

I have never been down with Islam. In fact the tolerance, neigh encouragement by the lefties to a barbaric ideology makes me puke.

Enco ya lost me.

One good thing is that Jake is no longer as keen on the idea of surrender after October 7.

Unseen,

This was your first post in the thread entitled War In Europe, It Has Begun:

Now, bear in mind that today’s weapons of conventional warfare are orders of magnitude more lethal than the corresponding weapons available to both sides (short of the atom bomb, of course) in WW2. Smart bombs, laser-guided missiles, tactical nukes, antitank m…

Pope’s trope:

I feel, in this moment of Hamas vs Israeli history, there is no “right side of history”.

Humanity has fucked up here, with no quick fix. All we can do now to inform our future, is to review history, debate, cry, and determine if there’s any way to “start over”. (There probably isn’t, but we can try to keep from failing again.)

Yes, vs. his wife and/or children, if he’s at all gallant.

History will deliver the final verdict.

It is not a sin, but where did you ever make that proclamation when the Russo-Ukrainian War started?

I’m not going to look, but…[Read more]

Cheers, Reg!

Unseen,

Sure. He’s the one who doesn’t see our astronomical gun death problem as even a problem, because it’s basically a kind of “cost of doing business” if you want virtually no control over who gets to have them.

You might have just outdone all the crap you’ve said since the Ruuso-Ukraine War and the Gaza-Israeli War.

Reg,

Also, Red China is still an authoritarian economy with tight controls over economic data and strong incentive to bend it to please. How much of the data they release outside The Middle Kingdom is real?
