it's not one or the other if you pay attention to the top and only one side, for example then you only see the top through the biased of the one side which is you to a tee eyeball you only see the right through the lens of the left

Chinese Communism is a failed experiment and their "success" is an illusion of the naive as is the case with Russian Autocracy you keep pointing fingers at the West while ignoring the faults of everyone else leading to truly terrible analysis

none of the laws ban these kind of abortions doctors fearful of legal repercussions simply don't know the law fake news city all of these chilling tales are simply ignorant people being scared of laws that don't exist

Canada doesn't get enough sunlight for solar to be economically viable that will just raise energy costs

I did you didn't "nah, Putin did ultimate own goal" was my exact response to the question of whether I was claiming Trump saved NATO if you had actually read that post, you would know I said that and wouldn't be pretending I didn't like Aristides

they need to narrow the geographical gap on the Northern European Plain to better secure their borders as well as the Soviets did the Vistula is the perfect place to do just that

what did I say in the post where I posted Steve Smith's own goal back on page 1 then? looks like you didn't read carefully enough and neither did Aristides

don't have to be Usain Bolt when racing against toddlers

almost every Democrat claimed 2016 was illegitimate and they never stopped even after Russia-gate was exposed as a hoax the Democrats also claimed 2000 was illegitimate and Gore didn't concede for over a month the Democrats also heavily contested the 1824 and 1876 elections but at least in both those cases they had a much better beef calling it a Republican tactic is laughable both sides often do it in very close elections and historically speaking it's mostly the Democrats contesting election results Stacey Abrams in the 2018 Georgia governor election is another recent example you're such an American political noob and an obvious Democrat party hack

the GOP panders to him because the base loves him and he brings in new voters to the base the base loves him because he panders to them the Democrats are the party of the rich elites now the GOP are the party of the working class now Trump upped the GOP's game try to keep up

you clearly didn't read all of my posts in this thread look for the post where I posted the Steve Smith own goal

Trump is honest about the nature of the political game other politicians try to front like are selfless public servants they are bigger hypocrites and liars than Trump will ever be he doesn't focus group every word that comes out of his mouth he doesn't read off a script and the people appreciate the difference

wrong the GOP supports Trump because he panders to them better than the establishment GOP does if that stopped being the case they'd flip to DeSantis or someone else who does that better

they don't need East Germany but they are after Eastern Poland

if NATO wipes the floor with Russia then they'll be totally cornered and they will probably resort to nukes in that scenario so not exactly ideal

don't project your ignorance on me you may not be able to properly sort through media propaganda but others can, myself included though it's rather rare, it's quite possible you just aren't up to the task when it comes to Russia your humility is false because really you want to believe that if you don't know, then no one can know but you simply aren't that knowledgeable and that is the real reason you don't know

nonsense Donald Trump is a major upgrade compared to the vast majority of the post-Reagan GOP Donald Trump > The Bush's, Bob Dole, John McCain and Mitt Romney Donald Trump's subversion of the party is a much needed positive development The GOP has stepped it's game up while the Democrats have gone totally insane

is that what you're going to say when Trump wins in 2024 and the Democrats say he's an illegitimate POTUS because the Russians helped him steal the election?

Ukraine is a sovereign nation it is not a civil war furthermore Ukraine isn't worth it if that was all they were after even if Ukraine turned over the entire nation to them tomorrow the cost would still greatly exceed what they've gained Russia has committed a strategic blunder and sped up their own demise

they aren't a cartoon but they are revanchist they don't have the horses to fill the geographical gaps to secure their borders the way they want to but they certainly want to and the longer they wait the more difficult it becomes due to demographic issues if they are going to do it they are running out of time

not the world they want to reclaim what they lost when the Soviet Union fell it's not like Putin hasn't openly stated as much Russia is clearly revanchist and isn't keeping it a secret they shout it from the rooftops if you don't believe that you don't know Russia or Putin

some of us know far more than the censorious media Russia has come up far short of it's goals it wanted all of Ukraine and more and is now pretending it's goals were more limited to save face the Western media sucks ass but Russian media is even worse why would you believe them? that's being overly reactionary and leads to poor analysis the enemy of the enemy is not your friend in this case the enemy of your enemy is far worse than your enemy

NATO would mop the floor with Russia if Russia was all they were thought to be Ukraine would have fallen in a few weeks instead the Russians are in a quagmire against an opponent nowhere near NATO's level because their military capabilities were massively overrated to the point they believed their own hype and shot themselves in the foot with a foolish invasion

one minor advantage offset by the many disadvantages if Russia could compete in hi-tech with the Americans, they would but they can't, so they try to make the best of a clearly inferior hand

Russian subs are a rare exception the same does not hold in almost all other areas they can only keep up in a few tiny areas and only with massive government subsidization specific to general fallacy
