Re: Going Postal
Personally, I think Vlad will use nukes in Ukraine. Even with that knowledge what are we to do? Let him take more and more countries? Let him and his horde rape and pillage across the globe?

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?

Re: Sanctions Again
This post is irrelevant to my answer to your last. Is there any way you can stay on topic? Do you want to discuss the BRICS nations developing their own reserve system or do you want to spout ridiculous conspiracy theories?

Re: Ukraine Cant Win
Irrelevant and again off topic
One critique of many modern colleges is that over 90% of the professors vote for the same political party.
Provide evidence for this or withdraw.

Re: Evidence and Trust
Of course, I would as does everyone else.
Also, of course, you would post an article by a sexist, racist, and homophobic organization, whose agenda is to remove gender, race, and queer studies from every college campus. Whose agenda is to whitewash all of US history and politics.
What they claim is not evidence. They performed no studies they looked at a bunch of data, much unrelated, and conflate a bunch of data points to come up with a toxic-looking headline they knew would be picked up by the far-right press. I grant you academia is much more liberal than society at large, but I have seen no evidence that a 90% figure can be supported.
Instead of building some conspiracy about "liberal professors" maybe you should be wondering why highly educated people tend to be more liberal. Then again your cult leaders want you and the rest of their minions to stay uneducated and stupid.
