War in Ukraine

[Septic]

Biden expected to ban Russian energy imports today

Good.

If at first the game - or the breaks - go against you, don't let up... put on more steam.

They understood societal evolution.

So you think communism was societal evolution they envisioned?

I'm in the process of my reevaluation. I just put another tally mark in your clueless column.

I’m sure he’ll have trouble falling asleep tonight, knowing that.

I find it ironic that you chirp about the Constitution being abused while openly supporting an autocrat that would wipe his ass with the same.

You're making me feel better with every mark

Ukraine nuclear power plant attack: scientists assess the risks

Good article on nuclear risks. I think the risk of nuclear power releases is far outweighed by the ongoing invasion, and the deaths and destruction from that. You've already had to evacuate your at risk population, which is already the worst case scenario for a modern nuclear plant accident.

And he also happens to be right.

About what? That I've gone beyond delusional?
It must be a sad view from that perspective.

 

[Velo Vol]

Good, get everyone on the record.

I'm sure he's as troubled by my opinion as I am by yours.

No where close to Soviet era. He's no better or worse than any other leader out here. He's got his flaws just like any of them, but he's no Stalin, Pol Pot or Mao.

Hell, to be honest, he's likely on par with Lincoln and Andrew Jackson in certain areas.

I mean, I am on the same page that Putin is not particularly insane or much different than leaders from other modern strong man regimes - and no, he is not Stalin. I definitely do not think the American government or media has shown itself to be trustworthy in almost any situation. There is definitely more going on here than is being fed to the public.

But then you had to go and compare Putin to Lincoln and Jackson. Are you out of your Russian loving mind? Setting aside the fact that they were from a long past era where deaths and war was thought of differently than today - which is what I assume you were clumsily trying to say. But no, you had to actually compare Putin to iconic icons of American forefathers. Lincoln who was willing to endure civil war to free the slaves (and ensure federal supremacy over states rights) and Jackson who freed us (for a time) from the money lords.

Sure they were flawed men but Rule #1 of discourse on an American bulletin board - you do not compare a Russian leader to the fathers of our country - or your arguments (and your credibility) get buried in a ditch.

It sort of goes with the territory.

Hearing UK and US will ban the import of Russian oil today.

Hearing UK and US will ban the import of Russian oil today.

That's the rumor I hear too.

 

[evillawyer]

Because WWJD! Amirite?

 

[evillawyer]

That's the rumor I hear too.

 

[evillawyer]

I fall on the 70% side. How about you folks?

 

[allvol123]

That's the rumor I hear too.

How about an announcement on creating more supply, not diminishing it.

Sacred cows. You don't just get to say "we felt differently about war/death back then." You think St. Peter's gonna be like, "you didn't value life so it was OK that you killed all those Indians."

I'm sure modern-day Russia feels much differently about death/war than we do and that doesn't absolve Putin.

I'm in the side it's a dumb poll. No need for prices to rise given domestic opportunity

Also didn't Psaki say that it would be unfair and absurd for entities to raise prices because of taxes? Have gas taxes been cut recently?

WHAT??? Can you yell louder, we can't hear you from over there.

The reason we have one of the most open societies on earth is because our forefathers defeated people like you and in general Americans value individual liberty.

You've lost your mind if you think people like Luther are a threat to anyone's liberty. The biggest threat are extremist on both sides of the aisle and an autocrat wannabe who wants to claw his way back into the White House.

Ill just drop this here Why a Biden presidency may lead to higher gasoline prices

Biden (and his puppet masters) are saying $10 a gallon gasoline?

lol....Cut and pasted a headline. I guess I could have removed the bold and lessened the font size so as not to offend your sensibilities.
