Child, unlike you, I've operated under NATO orders, and have studied its leadership. Additionally, I'm much better-versed in American politics and government organization than you are, I suspect.

Also, it's funny you're trying to link me with Trump by deliberately misspelling my screen-name. Anyone who knows me knows how much I detest the man, and knows that I've never voted for him, and that I have vowed to never vote for anyone who has given him any support.

But hey, do continue to speak out of ignorance. It's amusing you could be so wrong about someone and still think you know your ass from third-base. You might want to take it easy on that shovel.

Its a pity you didn't have the spine to direct this massively incorrect post to me directly, but hey, I've known all along you're a shitbag, so while it's amusing it's not surprising.

You're doing your best to justify those victims of this Russian crime. What a blowhard.

Do you see your own problem in apposing these two statements? Probably not. You don't strike me as terribly bright.

It doesn't bother me, because I like how you reveal your willingness to blather on out of ignorance. As for the "haircut" in my avatar, that a frame from a video where I'm rocking out on my guitar, processed through Irfanview for edge-finding and color replacement, etc. Here's the original:




... and here's my "haircut" in a still pose:



But by all means, carry on. You're gonna run out of feet to stick in your mouth before I run out replies to underline how you don't know wtf you're on about. Need help with that shovel yet? You must be getting worn out by now.

Exactly. Long live Mother Russia.

No. No broader point I was making. Just wanted to point out confirmation that Trumpalumpacus is full of it and knows little about how the US and NATO works. I was right, again. I had zero evidence though, right? I was grasping at straws, and a broken clock was right twice a day, supposedly. That's always how it goes. Tin foil hat wearing me always coming up with silly scenarios, and miraculously getting it right time and time again. I guess I'm just a lucky guesser. I was banished to the covid conspiracy thread for talking about lab leak, and now the Energy Department and FBI are even more confident than I was about a lab leak. Funny how that turned out. You and jokers like Jon Stewart tried to gaslight me into thinking I was making up the problem of cancel culture, but Jon Stewart himself is now doing a 180 and saying his friends in the industry stopped talking to him after he talked about lab leak on the Colbert show. You gaslit me about being concerned about words being banned by universities and said I was being uppity over nothing? Well, the word "field", as in scientists doing field work, is now being advised against. Can't call it field work any longer, because that might offend someone who had a slave field worker as an ancestor.

I'm not defending the killing of Ukrainians. I'm calling out your BS and lies.

Quote:You actually don't know. You have read some things. 

Just recently Jordan Peterson tweeted a photo of some men hooked up to frightening-looking medical machines. He claimed that this was evidence of horrid things going on in China, and hundreds of people believed and re-tweeted it.

Within a few hours it was demonstrated that the photo was taken in a gay SM dungeon in London where men enjoy having things done to them. As of now, Peterson has not apologized. 

Anyway it's not productive to keep going on about these issues where people know in advance what they believe, and filter the evidence accordingly. When the skepticism is as selective as it is on this thread there's no point. So good luck to you, I'm out.

Quote:Brave Sir Bel ran away.

("No!") Bel 
Bravely ran away away.
("I didn't!") Bel 
When danger reared it's ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
("I never!") Bel
Yes, brave Sir Bel turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
("You're lying!") Bel
Swiftly taking to his feet,
He beat a very brave retreat.
Bravest of the brave, Sir Bel!
