War in Ukraine

[AM64]

Yes. He said ANOTHER

And for anyone keeping count that’s actually three dams the invading orcs damaged they blew a roadway on one last fall and damaged the dam structure also

The pattern is making it easier to decide who is really blowing stuff up and claiming "din't do nuffin".

Second time rumors of something brewing on the Kharkiv front

"rumors"

 

[evillawyer]

"rumors"

Remember that rumor you shared about Russians being good Christians just trying to protect the defenseless Russian speakers in the Donbas. Good stuff.

 

[Velo Vol]

The next to last paragraph is sadly true.

"rumors"

I don't think the Russians read the fine print.

Oh dear... Russia is in a panic. They may, unfortunately, be forced to retreat further west.

"Roadway Is Gone": Tanker Explosion Destroys I-95 Bridge In Philadelphia | ZeroHedge

What is the correlation here? Are you trying to say that this bridge was intentionally destroyed by someone like the dam in ukraine? If so, a few questions... Who did it? What was the purpose? What advantage is gained by that party? What evidence do have to back up your theory (this one will probably be an issue for you)?

Slow your horses. This bridge, in my opinion, represents our foreign policy. While China and Russia builds bridges, the US destroys bridges. I was clearly not assigning any blame to anyone on the bridge collapse. I was simply highlighting the symbolism of this one event to the entire picture.

Relax

You just assigned blame right before you said you were not assigning blame. Have China and Russia had any infrastructure problems recently?

I did not assign blame to anything or anyone with regards to the Philadelphia Bridge collapse. Just stop.

Can you say yes or no?

That isn't the point. China and Russia are in the business of building bridges. While the US is in the business of destroying bridges/infrastructure.

So the US did destroy the bridge in Philly and infrastructure items have not failed in China and Russia recently?

Cool ammo you got there, @Rasputin_Vol. Maybe get that fixed before you lecture us about US interstates.

Your deflection was noted by all. And it was rather stupid as usual.

Put someone of ignore for foolishness? You were reading your own posts numb nuts.

Hey @Rasputin_Vol, your boys with their good Christian virtues are up to it again.

You would know all about foolishness.

I guess I'm being intellectually dishonest then. I don't see even a remote link between the value of the arms we're sending to Ukraine and affordable groceries.

Nor do I accept that not sending arms to Ukraine would directly or indirectly reduce the high cost of groceries. The meme was dumb in that assumes that the value of the arms would have gone into alleviating hunger and we both know it wouldn't because of the vastly different political divides that would have to be bridged to make that happen. Military budgets wouldn't suddenly become food subsidies for the poor. It's a false dichotomy, and a bad one to boot.

If you want to try and connect the dots between military spending and inflation, then that's a different discussion but you've got a lot of twists, turns and hurdles to get over and around to make the case that milk costs what it costs because we sent a patriot battery to Ukraine.

it's not that the money would have otherwise gone to fix hunger. It's that our politicians don't seem to care about the high prices. So they 1 avoid fixing OUR issues. And 2 make it worse by giving away money we dont have right after dodging a default.

Stop being obtuse and trying to argue that I think we should use Javelins to plant more crops. Or to even use that money to fix hunger. My argument is we shouldnt be using that money.

Two things are capable of existing in this conflict. Russia IS the bad guy, and our politicians are using it as theatre to avoid fixing the problems in this country. The meme points to the second issue, you are being as obtuse as Ras and trying to say the meme was saying Russia isnt the bad guy. Which it clearly doesnt. Just like it doesnt claim to feed the homeless.

I can read well enough to figure out Ras keeps using the term "destroy" while saying he didn't use the term "destroy." I can also read well enough to figure out that Ras put me on ignore rather than tell me if Russia or China had any recent infrastructure failures.
