Re: LNA Unplugged?
Seems like Tankies are not much different from MAGAts.

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Link does not go to an article.
If you can not link to your sources don't bother.
I am not going to waste my time researching for your sources.
As I say all the time.

Stalinist of course
A follower of one of the greatest mass murderers in history. Not surprised at all.

Re: A good article, on Russia/Ukraine, in The Week, by Grayson Quay.
Finland and Austria were neutral, in the Cold War, and were free and prosperous.
This statement is meaningless as the NATO nations were free and prosperous during the cold war.
As a matter of fact ex-Warsaw Pact nations and ex-SSR's that are now part of NATO are freer and more prosperous now than they were during the Cold War.

Re: Expand NATO
Please stop lying about me. If you lie about what I say again I will make a formal request to have you suspended.
You shouldn't make a claim about someone that you know nothing about. I venture to guess I may know more about ethnic and racial discrimination than you do.

South Africa
Here is a more nuanced analysis of South Africa. It comports well with the people I know in South Africa.
I find it hilarious that you call me a supporter of white nationalism and imperialism.
Do you know anything about Puerto Rico?

I wonder if they used that mole to aim at.
Inappropriate?
Hell yeah it is. As is this whole war and the deaths of multitudes of innocent men, women and CHILDREN.
May all who support Putin rot in their own personal hell.

Re: I will take up this call
3 facebook post and 4 tweets so far with
#TzarVladimirtheCondemned
quote:
I said fifty people a day walking in singin' a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement.
And that's what it is, the Alice's Restaurant Anti-Massacree Movement, and all you got to do to join is sing it the next time it come's around on the guitar.

Though this is commonly misattributed to Winston Churchill, I believe this quote hits close to home. Change Americans to the All Nations.
quote:
The Americans will always do the right thing… after they’ve exhausted all the alternatives.”
That being said I have no idea what we should do.
Stop #TzarVladimirtheCondemned

Exactly. That is why an autocracy is much scarier than the USSR ever was. There is literally no check on #TzarVladimirtheCondemned.
