We get it; everyone who criticized the official narrative regarding anything related to the Ukraine invasion is a Russian shill. Tucker is a shill, I'm a shill; everyone who disagrees with you is a shill, and a bad person to boot.

The invasion could have also been completely reactionary, due to bad or manufactured intel. Intel that may have told him, for example, that Ukraine was about to get nukes. There may be no overarching plan; at least, not on the part of Putin and Russia.

Never underestimate the impact of incompetent or duplicitous leadership. History is replete with the corpses of countries that fell thanks to that alone, in spite of the great might they commanded.

It started out defensive in nature, but then we stayed for two decades and sent our people over there to die for absolutely no reason. He only absorbed Crimea; and the fact that he didn't also absorb the Donbass region is why I think it's possible he might go the route of creating a puppet...

The invasion isn't over yet; we still don't know for certain what Putin intends to do after Russia conquers Ukraine. If he doesn't absorb the country, and instead tries to install a puppet government, he'd just be emulating what we attempted to do in Afganistan and Iraq (though I would assume...

Yes, it is. It'd be downright hypocritical of almost everyone on this forum to say otherwise, considering all the times they've condemned this exact rhetoric from the regressive left up until now. Calls for violence against people who haven't actually done anything beyond voice an opinion you...

Taken out of the context of him supposedly fighting Russians in Ukraine; if he were just any normal American threatening Tucker Carlson with bodily harm on social media, what would that tell you about their political allegiances and ideological inclinations? To me, it smacks of someone who is...

It's the line about Tucker Carlson that cinches it for me; he's either a fake, or a useful idiot.

I have a few; several people have managed to disappoint me with how they've acted, people whom I respect, and one or two actually got me to start holding a grudge against them that I don't think is going to go away any time soon. I'm even disappointed in myself for lashing out.

And many people, perhaps myself included, are going to end up with egg on their faces when everything is all said and done; here's hoping we don't end up with another indignant exodus of the offended, like we had in the aftermath of the 2020 election. A lot of fences are going to have to be...

I think we can safely assume that everyone who knows anything is lying at this point; it is a war after all, and the first causality is always the truth.

I don't know; why are you stroking your hateboner for them to the point of risking friction burns? I get that you're not American, so you have no inkling of what's been going on over here the past few years; or maybe you do know, and just don't care. Either way, I'm not "fanboying" for...

That's not what I'm talking about here; I'm talking about them using the conflict as carte blanche to further silence anyone who speaks out against the establishment and their actions, and treat them like traitors. Which is already happening; in fact, it's been happening since 2014, with the...

Because getting involved means handing over war powers to the western establishment; and you'd have to be a fool to think they wouldn't abuse them. Besides; they're the ones responsible for propping us those "Ukrainian nationalists" in the first place, and creating this conflict. The complete...

They're definitely getting their butts kicked, I'll grant you that; though I still don't see Russia losing this in the end. Also, not a Russia shill; I didn't even vote for Trump in 2016. Though I did later vote for him in 2020, so maybe I'm half a Russia shill? Anyways, the point is that I...

Okay; well, I was born in 1984, so that whole "I'm older than you, so I'm right" schtick just isn't going work with me. I am well aware of the atrocities the Soviet Union committed; they're just not relevant here. I do find your Freudian slip rather interesting though; you're excited about the...

To you, it comes across that way. To me, it matches with a lot of what I already knew; the situation in Ukraine is the west's fault, and economic sanctions, much like protests, are useless. You don't have to believe that, but painting everyone who disagrees with you as a "socialist pinko" just...

It's Francis Fukuyama; the man built his career on cheerleading the establishment for decades. More recently, he spent all of Trump's term in office calling him and everyone who supported him a threat to democracy, and continues to do so to this day. That's not an "analyst" you'd ever expect to...

Anyone who takes anything that idiot says seriously must be truly desperate to find someone willing to tell them what they want to hear.

Unless she gets involved in some sort of highly-publicized scandal later in life, the only thing she'll be remembered for is saying "how dare you!", but completely divorced from the context in which she said it.
