So Putin started a war and is threatening nukes in order to avoid starting a war where he might threaten to use nukes? Genius.

Once the aggressor stops aggressing there will be peace. Peace now = Putin’s unconditional withdrawal from the Ukraine. It is the fastest, simplest and way to achieve peace. It could be done in a matter of hours.

Another fringe right wing kook with a long history of antisemitic and pro-Putin sympathies and who only got appointed to Trump White House after Trump lost the election. For those keeping score, he has also publicly advocated for imposing martial law in American border states and extrajudicial killings of immigrants. He also said the idea that Germany should atone for the crimes of the Nazis is a “sick mentality”.

OMG there as so many lies and so much gaslighting in this point it’s hard to know where to start. Just about everything provable is false but my favourite is that Ukraine had a military built to attack Russia. That is just absolutely priceless idiotic BS

Yeah I know what he’s referring to. It’s pretty dishonest to describe fighting armed insurgent militias who are funded and armed by Russia, and who shot down a civilian airliner full of innocent people as “the slaughter of ethnic Russians”

How do you know that what the MSM is reporting is false and what you believe is true? Honestly do you really think Putin is an honest trustworthy guy and the MSM is part of an evil worldwide conspiracy to tale down good guys like him? You are the one who is brainwashed by propaganda my friend. Same for your ridiculous BIG LIE election conspiracies which don’t even have enough substance or coherence to be called a “theory”. More like a “fantasy” or “superstition”.

Baloney. After bilking Arizona’s Republican politicians for millions without producing results going way over budget and way past all deadlines, the comically incompetent ultra-partisan cyberninja clusterf-ck clown-show and employee sexual harassment fiesta (aka “audit”) actually barfed up a report that found that Biden won by a larger margin than the actual official election count. Then to appease their obviously enraged Republican patrons, they added a list of more dubious unproven or disproven claims and fled town as quickly as they could. The angry Republican politicians demanded to see the data that cyberninjas used but cyber refused to provide because obviously it’s just a shitshow of fake and fudged numbers that don’t make sense. A judge fined them $50,000 per each day they don’t turn over the data and so the ultra Republican millionaire head of the company declared the company bankrupt and defunct and is now fighting to avoid being held personally liable.

Lies

Family who live in Russia?

Why don’t you share where you’re getting your so-called “information” from?

The Ukrainians weren’t deliberately targeting civilians like your precious Russians are. They have been fighting a civil war against Russian backed terrorists who shot down an airliner full of civilians if you’ll recall. And many of those separatist terrorists were regular Russian army soldiers and special forces with insignia removed. You can’t compare the 4 Russians who died whole vacationing in an illegally annexed foreign war zone with the tens of thousands of Ukrainian civilians deliberately killed in their homes.

J. D. Vance and the collapse of dignity Every nation has fringe candidates and public spectacles in its political life, but today, the American right celebrates the abandonment of dignity and virtue. … Americans once expected politicians to carry themselves with a seriousness that indicated their ability and willingness to tackle problems, whether poverty or war, that were too difficult for the rest of us. We elected such people not because we wanted them to be like us but because we hoped that they were better than us: smarter, tougher, and capable of being leaders and role models. …Today, we no longer expect or even want our politicians to be better than we are. The new American right, however, has blown past the relatively innocuous populism of the past 40 years and added a fetid cynicism about almost everything related to public life. Not only are the MAGA Republicans seemingly repelled by the idea of voting for someone better than they are; they support candidates who are often manifestly worse people than the average citizen, so that they may slather their fears about their own shortcomings and prejudices under a sludgy and undifferentiated hatred about almost everyone in public office. These populists not only look past the sins of their candidates but also defend and even celebrate them. Let us leave aside the cult around Trump, which has now reached such levels of weirdness that the specter of Jim Jones is probably pacing about the netherworld in awe. Instead, consider how many people cheer on unhinged cranks such as Marjorie Taylor Greene or allow themselves to be courted by smarmy opportunists such as Vance and Ted Cruz. This new populism, centered in the modern Republican Party, has no recognizable policy content beyond the thrill of cruelty and a juvenile boorishness meant largely to enrage others. The GOP’s goals now boil down to power for its elected royalty and cheap coliseum pleasures for its rank and file. Republicans, therefore, are forced to lower their—and our—standards for admission to public office, because the destruction of dignity is the only way they can find the candidates who will do what decent men and women will not, including abasing themselves to Donald Trump. ….I’m an adult. I get it. Our elected officials aren’t saints, and only rarely are they heroes. But must they now be a cavalcade of clowns and charlatans, joyously parading their embrace of vice and their rejection of virtue? The Republican Party seems to think so. …. https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2022/10/j-d-vance-and-the-collapse-of-dignity/671704/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=atlantic-daily-newsletter&utm_content=20221011&utm_term=The Atlantic Daily

Another conspiracy theory? Just because you can’t afford a plane ticket anywhere don’t assume others can’t.

Your whole fake point is that NATO governments are secretly sending their troops there, no? A volunteer who goes there on his own dime and of his own choice is not “NATO boots on the ground.”

Pfffft. Civilian casualties scoreboard as of October 10 4 Russians 15,592 Ukrainians See how that works?

U.S. ambassador: Finland and Sweden in NATO by Christmas HELSINKI, Finland — Finland and Sweden will become official NATO members by Christmas, the U.S. ambassador to Finland predicted in a conversation with reporters and experts. Only three of NATO’s 30 members are left to ratify the two countries’ accessions to the alliance. https://www.politico.com/newsletters/national-security-daily/2022/09/22/u-s-ambassador-finland-and-sweden-in-nato-by-christmas-00058404 Putin for NATO salesman of rhe year!?

You’ve been suckered by fake news again. PS Try to contain your excitement over a murderous Russian dictator bombing civilians in a fit over losing an unjustified war that he started. And he’s sill losing

Republican fake news outlets proliferate thanks to their billionaire patrons Every day they try to make America look a little more like Russia or Belarus That Fake Newspaper in Your Mailbox Was Paid For by Peter Thiel … The Grand Canyon Times isn’t a traditional newspaper. It’s part of an opaque media organization that recycles right-wing news articles across a network of hyperlocal-sounding news websites, which are padded out with press releases. As the 2022 midterm elections approach, conservative campaigns have tapped the network to send realistic-looking (and unsolicited) newspapers to voters in critical districts. In publications like the Grand Canyon Times, the line between newspaper and political advertisement can be porous. At least two print editions of the paper, reviewed by The Daily Beast, contained disclaimers that described the contents as “paid for by the Saving Arizona PAC.” The PAC, which supports Masters’ Senate campaign, has received more than $13 million from conservative billionaire Peter Thiel. The PAC did not return a request for comment. Nor did the Grand Canyon Times, which lists a single email address on its “contact us” page. It’s not even clear the Grand Canyon Times has a newsroom in Arizona. Instead, it’s an affiliate of Metric Media, a network of conservative websites tailored to look like local news outlets. Metric Media runs at least 15 other local-sounding outlets in Arizona, including the North Pima News and the Tucson Standard. All promote a curious blend of conservative talking points and reprinted press releases. Metric Media is not a new operation. It’s run by Brian Timpone, a former news anchor-turned-political spokesman. For more than a decade, Timpone has run a network of media companies with names like Journatic, Pipeline Media, and Local Government Information Services (LGIS). Years of exposés from the likes of NPR, The New York Times, and Columbia Journalism Review have accused Timpone’s companies of dubious practices like plagiarism, fake quotes, using algorithms to write articles, and outsourcing local news to freelancers in the Philippines who used fake names. (Timpone did not return a request for comment.) …. https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-the-peter-thiel-funded-saving-arizona-pac-is-sneakily-targeting-swing-voters?source=articles&via=rss

Interesting read on the Republican party’s journey to unhinged extremism: The Moment the Republican Party Lost Control The GOP believed it could appeal to its extremist fringe, without succumbing to it. … Though the shadow of Donald Trump hangs over Partisans, Hemmer does not focus on the last president. Instead, she shifts the lens to a set of much bigger questions. How did one of America’s two major parties become dominated, not just by vicious, public attacks that used to be the province of undercover dirty-tricks specialists, but by a proud rejection of democracy itself? How did virulent nativism, homophobia, and racism spread from the far-right, where the Republican Party successfully contained it for decades, to take over a whole political party? When did culture wars, promoted between both right-wing pundits acting like politicians and right-wing politicians acting like pundits, stop simply motivating voters and shift the center of gravity in the GOP to conspiracism and illiberalism? Partisans is a story about politicians who learn to be media figures, and media figures who learn to be politicians. It’s about a Republican Party that came to believe so little in policy and governance that in 2020, for the first time in its history, amid a crumbling economy caused by the worst pandemic in a century, the GOP failed even to produce a party platform. “Rather than deal with these issues,” Tom Wheeler of the Brookings Institution wrote in August of that year, “rather than tell the American people and foreign governments what it stands for, it appears as though the Republican Party has codified that it is for whatever Donald Trump wants to do.” … https://newrepublic.com/article/168021/republican-party-lost-control-1990s-gingrich-buchanan

Another empty post with nothing but insults when you get beaten. You’re nothing if not predictable.

You’re just saying that to avoid answering

Ukraine. Finland, Croatia, Bosnia, even Ireland, there were others too. There were a lot of reasons that people with complex histories calculated that their enemy’s enemy was preferable and cooperated with Germany during WW2. To claim that they were all Nazis then is a massive oversimplification and to claim that if they were Nazis back then some 80yrs ago then they must still be Nazis now is simply idiotic. Especially since the only country that’s actually governing like a Nazi with brutal oppression and invading neighbours is Russia.

Hey @Nationalist you conveniently “forgot” to answer this one

Cmon that was funny where’s your sense of humour.

I wouldn’t be surprised if “Cancer” was the name of your puppy who used to bark too much.
