War in Ukraine

Stop blaming people who make more than you. It is their job to make money. That comes from sales. Sales come from the overwhelming desire of people to live above their means. The desire is sated by cheap **** from 3rd world countries. The last two years are a microcosm of this issue. The government supports people and pays them to stay home. People want stuff. They want cheap stuff. CEO’S simply run their companies to fill this want.

I think you are missing my main point, which is that all these things you have mentioned has lead to disaster. CEO's of major companies caring about the bottom dollar willingly giving their secrets to the Chi-coms. Sure, that looks great for your bottom line, but that shows no ethics or common sense. This is the way it goes, I understand it. The consumers gobble these products up too. When I buy tools for example, I always look for made in the USA. Screw the Chinese, they make crap as far as tools go anyways.

Stupid people allowed 95 percent of our antibiotics to be manufactured in China. No common sense. It's like selling your soul in order for the devil to teach you how to play the guitar real awesome. In the short term it is great, in the long term it is total stupidity. Stop blaming people who are smarter than you for seeing the looming major problems with this. Figured you may appreciate that last line lol.

You’re alot like FDR, you would have given Stalin the world.

Say what? All I simply said was the Red Army was days away from invading Japan. We didn't necessarily need to drop the bombs or risk invasion ourselves.

Accurate

There is so much misinformation I am forced to intervene. You are being attacked from within vols. Twitter and Facebook were blocked because they were Putin funded companies that were being investigated for Russian ties. When he was cut off from Americans, he cut off the Russians too. The b2 bombers earlier were simply making a round of nato skies and not stealthy about it at all. Tonight he plans to blow the nuke plant, and he is hoping the westerly winds will deter a counter attack. Hoping we will not enter a radioactive area. He is perfectly fine with sending his own people into a radioactive area tho. Pass the info if you can.

'I say Vladimir, if you do it we're hitting Moscow': Trump claims he told Putin and Xi he'd NUKE them and slams Biden for being 'afraid' of Russian leader in conversation with golf legend John Daly - before hitting his Palm Beach course

Donald Trump on Friday told pro-golfer John Daly that he got along 'great' with Vladimir Putin and Russia didn't invade Ukraine under his watch because he threatened to bomb Moscow.

'They're all saying oh he's a nuclear power, it's like they're afraid of him,' Trump said in a recording of the phone conversation with Daly. 'You know, he was a friend of mine, I got along great with him. I say, Vladimir, if you do it, we're hitting Moscow. We're going to hit Moscow. And he sort of believed me like 5%, 10% - that's all you need.'

'He never did it during my time John, you know. They were all talking about it, ''Why didn't he do this during the last four years?'' Because he knew he couldn't.'

The former president claimed that Chinese President Xi Jinping didn't mess with him, either.

'Xi didn't bother me either. I told him the same thing, that that'll be next. You know that's going to be next. Taiwan will be next,' he predicted.

The Red Army wasn’t even close to invading Japan. They picked off a couple northern islands A few weeks prior to us dropping the bomb.

Here we go... the attacks on Americans has begun. We've gone from making the unvaccinated the enemy to now targeting Russians or pro-Russians.

There is a loud and vocal socialist element in the Democratic Party. AOC and the squad and Bernie Sanders. Do you see anybody in the Republican Party who promotes socialism?

I could point at Bobert and MTG and call all Republicans racists, but I don't. That'd be ridiculous. Painting with broad brushes is intellectually lazy, or do you believe that liberals are literally communists?

 

[Septic]

I’ve been thinking about one for a few years now. Did you get the ATS with it?

Ats?

What was the tweet?

 

[tvolsfan]

Meh, we could have let the Red Army handle Japan by that point. They were within days of a Japanese invasion.

If that invasion ever actually happened, it would have killed far more Japanese than the nukes.

Your terrible takes make it easy. Seriously, picking off your excuses and whataboutisms is low hanging fruit.

The first step is admitting you have a problem.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

That would kill far more Japanese than the nukes. If that invasion ever even happened.

Likely. It wouldn't have involved an American invasion or required dropping the bomb.

I have no doubt Long John was impressed.

 

[Septic]

I chuckled.

It's far more satisfying to make someone feel stupid than it is to call someone stupid. I don't generally ad hom - in @happy-go_vol case however.... Well, he doesn't strike me as a guy who would recognize being insulted with nuance or disguised back hands.

What was the tweet?

It was about Ukraine having/publishing the names of the Belarusian pilots who're bombing Kyiv

I overstated by saying days away... I was going off of memory, so my apologies. They declared war on Japan and were moving to push back Japan out of Manchuria. The point is that we didn't necessarily have to do anything like an invasion of Japan or drop a bomb. Nor was I suggesting that we just hand Stalin Japan.

Exactly - like I said, Putin would not have gone into Ukraine with Trump still Pres not because Trump is a great wartime leader but because he is unpredictable. Putin thinks sure he is probably blowing smoke but MAYBE, maybe not. Trump is known to be equally vengeful as Putin himself.

Russia are solid stock, they aren't fragile. They've suffered long and hard before. They soldier through it. The meat on these sanctions won't remain long enough to crack them.

They may very well have awakened a people that could remain thorns in their sides for decades to come. If enough of these territories ban together they could rise up and dictate to Russia. That is the best long term scenario for it's relationship with the west.

Disagree. These aren't Soviet Era folks, they've got a taste of the west and have softened.

If we had allowed the Russian barbarians to step foot into Japan proper we would have already fought WWIII.

Why is that?

 

[Septic]

I think the conversation was which party is showing trends toward socialism/communism.

No, the statement was that liberals are communists.

Speaking of which, I actually like the way English gov can heckle each other. Get rid of this Roberts rules of order and give me a state of the union with some hilarious snaps.

No, the statement was that liberals are communists.

Well...
