The responsibility goes both ways. Now that the House Speaker Johnson has found guts in moving forward Freedom assistance package, his position is threatened by the extreme Putin and generally, dictator thug-loving lunatics. They cannot be allowed to prevail. In particular, Democrats cannot sit on their hands pretending it's nothing of their business and keep doing what they did always. Playing politics around these matters at this time will benefit nobody. The history will record and remember everything.

Trump: "loan, not gift" for Ukraine
myata replied to myata's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
No, that's an unreasonably positive assessment. A child can learn still under the right conditions and in the right environment. Being stupid enough to ignore all the knowledge accumulated before probably means that one is too dumb to learn at all. Just dumb. -
Because from now on, this kind of act and behavior becomes the new normal, and will go with effective impunity as long as the perpetrator has nukes (or a potential to acquire them) and the support of the Authoritarian axis. Ukraine, Isreal: done, check Taiwan, South Korea: in the clear perspective, as there's nothing: only vacuum to prevent it. These are in fact and objectively, the first steps into the new age of humanity: aggressive nukes can do what they like with complete impunity. Nothing like "never again": the exact opposite, in fact. If we can or want/will etc. do nothing about it, at least it's dumb to pretend that nothing much is happening.

Trump: "loan, not gift" for Ukraine
myata replied to myata's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
"Barely relevant"? What about the living, glaring example of the "guarantees"? Who in their right mind now, seeing and hearing this, would let go of the nukes as opposed to getting them at the first opportunity. As a result of this, the international system of security is finished, dead. This is what happens if one doesn't remember and observe their commitments. Some "barely". -
There's no other ways to look at it: post WWII order and system is gone. Dead. There's no incremental means to pedal it back: fantasies. Illusions. What the new age of the world will be, look and feel like will be decided in the course of a few years that follow. Don't say you didn't know it was a surprise.

Trump: "loan, not gift" for Ukraine
myata replied to myata's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
"In 1994, Ukraine agreed to transfer these weapons (third largest stockpile at the time - M.) to Russia and became a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, in exchange for assurances from Russia, the United States and United Kingdom to respect the Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. Interesting times: we will know all there's to know. One party has all but given itself to the balloon of hot stinky air: no critical thought; no intelligence; almost no integrity left. Let's see what the other still has. Will it keep playing into its hands, ignoring the pleas of those who defend their freedom bleeding every day, forget the "guarantees"? All will be revealed. -
A third largest stock of nukes given up for the "guarantees of security". The goods: payment now, the guarantee, as a service for an extended period. Three decades on, the partner has forgotten that something was given and is talking about "lending". You pay for something you already given and he pretends that he isn't fulfilling an obligation but providing charity, free gift. You know the word for this business right? Embezzlement. Crookedness. Else? Is this the new image of the United States, before the world?

Hush falls on GOP as Trump fails all attempts to block his TRIAL Proceeding; multiple Appeals on often frivolous grounds denied by Judge Trump personally insulted many times in addition to threats of violence against him and his family and staff
myata replied to Caswell Thomas's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Well, however it ends one thing one cannot claim here: they didn't know. This is a really interesting experiment of human psyche and intelligence. The stupidity, insanity test. -
Canada only has 28k soldiers in it's army
myata replied to Moonlight Graham's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Nothing bad can happen. Sleepwalking never hurts. -
In pivotal times there's no such notion as the principle of least action, "the least action produces the lowest risk". Nope. None. The past gives no assurances. Nobody knows what "safe" means in this moment, and you don't know it Joe. The opposite is true though: by avoiding necessary action when it was necessary, one can precipitate an irreversible, catastrophic chain of events. This already happened Joe and your words, no deepest wisdom of them is a match for the reality, this reality. But maybe that's too far away, in your mind you're already watering those roses.

Forget Everything You Think You Know
myata replied to gatomontes99's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
"From f-ck-up to f-ck-up" style of governance is the natural and probably unavoidable result of the evolution of any binary political system. The objective is to get to the power, not so much addressing problems and priorities of the society. Or is it, not at all? -
Sounds like a plan Joe! Don't fight Putins too hard now so that they wouldn't win in the longer term. Makes sense, right? And this is exactly how the ancestors won it the last time, isn't it? In what world though? Your senile memoirs "how I tried my best but it didn't work too bad but I still have my roses"? Or just afraid, OK "cautious"? Why couldn't you say it plain and simple Joe? And what's the nonsense with the "prices"? Isn't Russia's oil under sanctions anyways? Don't you destroy prohibited stuff like drugs all the time - or care about prices, on the drug markets? Or not really, despite all the great talking? Could you make sense of it Joe finally, the great words all of them, or the act?

Right, between senile impotence or outright insanity, which wins? Wow, the race is so close!
