War in Ukraine

[RDU VOL#14]

I would think a train would be extremely vulnerable in this era of combat but what do I know?

I feel like a lot of posters on here could’ve done a better judge managing the logistics of this war better than the Russians have.

 

[MontyPython]

Yeah... they will likely default on their debt. Now who will be the repo man?

 

[n_huffhines]

I think we should all agree the media only has themselves to blame and also Trump's fight against the media made things worse*, not better. But we probably won't all agree on that.

*at least up to this point, maybe in the long run things will be better.

 

[Majors]

It was Trump's objective from day one to undermine America's confidence in legitimate news sources.
He wants America to be as gullible and misinformed as Putin wants Russia to be.

Or maybe it was the news sources who undermined honesty and integrity and did it to themselves. Running with fabricated stories daily to their viewers.

 

[Majors]

Those same news sources who made up and peddled lies during his term? If they were smart they would have just let him self destruct

If he is as bad they wanted they presented.

The media is just stupid, both sides, but the liberal media is just ignorant. I read an article this weekend from one that explained why Christian Republicans support Putin killing people. That's just pure bull, and they know it.

Someone is on the other end of that default. How will they be made whole?

 

[Rickyvol77]

I swear, the brainwashing on the right and the left in this country...

Everyone is brainwashed except you comrade. Right? Lol

Sure Luther, sure.

If that's the case then the press fully cooperated and fell right into his dastardly trap.

Sadly, you both prove his effectiveness.
Makes it easier to understand how Russians can believe the nonsense they are being fed - just look at the past 5 years in this country.

Nah…. One thing liberals and conservatives should agree on is that they want honesty and integrity in our news sources….. we haven’t had that in a long time.

 

[luthervol]

Nope.
Again, makes it easier to understand what's happening in the minds of the Russian people at this point.

You seem to be blind to the fact that you are perhaps the most glaring example of your last sentence.

You should self audit.

 

[LouderVol]

Putin didn't need to during those years because Ukraine was no threat to Russia during those years.

But was in 2013, 2014, and now again in 2022?

 

[Majors]

Nope.
Again, makes it easier to understand what's happening in the minds of the Russian people at this point.

So, you're ok with news sources running fabricated stories against Trump? Had it not been for Trump exposing the media you'd believe Elizabeth Warren was a Native American today.

We have more honesty and integrity in many of our news sources than most every other country on the planet.

LOLOLOL.

Remember when the media told you that Trump was in cahoots with Russia and that he was going to start WW3, yada, yada, yada?

Good times.

That was true 20 years ago. No way that is true today.

Low bar

lol.......I know exactly where I'm positioned on the continuum.

 

[luthervol]

But was in 2013, 2014, and now again in 2022?

Of course they are more of a threat with Trump out of office.

 

[kiddiedoc]

Right. That's why US doctors have had to get information from other countries for the past two years to have any idea what's actually going on with CV19.

Our outlets were too busy cranking out fabricated stories of children piled up in ICUs and mask propaganda to actually look at any reliable, honest analysis and report on it. And, don't even get me started on the now-vanished Fauci and the flip flopping CDC.

God forbid we examine the people that have believed all the horse**** fed them in hte past 14 months.

 

[luthervol]

LOLOLOL.

Good times.

Trump was in cahoots with Russia, and they said he represented an increased risk that WW3 would begin.....and he did.

 

[luthervol]

Still true.
