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.

LOL on the one hand you get Americans saying that they “save the world” including “defending Europe” (somehow despite failing to help former Yugoslavia, Georgia and the Ukraine when Crimea is invaded) and then you have others complaining that the same amount spent on US corporate welfare is spent on Ukraine (which by the way, still contributes to…[Read more]

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]

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]

Doesn’t matter how satirical, clever or logical you are-ya ain’t gonna make a dent in the world view of michael17. The truth of the mythology is assumed and anything contradicting it is processed in his brain in a way consistent with the preservation of the mythology.

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.

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.

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.

Hosing the lower echelons-it is a snap.

It’s called creating a moral hazard or just enabling shitty behavior, which means you get more of it!
I wish sometimes you’d reflect your claims and statements back on your own ideology. You might remember a decade and a half ago, all sorts of banks going bust because of the moral hazards set up by an unregulated or underregulated economic sy…[Read more]

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. Always a wave of new get-rich losers ready to be taken. Still waiting for all the legitimate use-cases for crypto but I guess without regulation, it just isn’t going to…[Read more]

The only reason China or the US gives two shitz about Saudi and Iran is oil. The sooner we get off the oil, the better. China has its’ own pending demographic issues:
So, the worker-to-retiree ratio is going to be a huge, and some of the results of that will definitely impede economic growth, for example, pension shortfalls, huge public health…

@Autumn – As more people shed their share of religion, instead of dissipating into the air, it concentrates in the remaining believers until it’s exploding out their asses.
That reminds me of the Hitchens quote about Jerry Falwell;
“If you gave [Jerry] Falwell an enema he could be buried in a matchbox.”

I considered Elden Ring because the world and the aesthetic are right up my alley. But I’ve never really been able to get into soulslike games.
I never took to the Dark Souls games. I found the first one too repetitive but did appreciate the difference it brought to the genre. But ER is different. The more I play it the more it grows on me. Th…[Read more]

We keep seeing data that says religiosity is declining, however that seems to be with the younger folks. In contrast, I feel that the US is codifying more religious bullshit now…than I can ever remember.
