Russia and Ukraine

[The Architect Of Fate]

Haha yes it is an appeal to authority and 100 pieces of other information on the ground pointing to the exact thing that authority on the matter is saying. And you know why I don't question it? If anything, you'd imagine that Western elitists would want to hide the reality that the US scuttled the peace deal, so if the Israeli PM had said that the deal was not scuttled, then I would not believe him. He came out with a piece of knowledge that you'd think the mainstream wouldn't necessarily want us to know, and something that caused the mainstream to go into damage control, so this is why the Israeli PM was telling the truth. Just look at all of the red flags. They are all there. He knows what he's saying, and why do you keep equating someone with expertise in a field, to someone like a PM or a Clinton or a Bush or a Rumsfeld, who is literally given the information about what is going on in the world? They are not doing guess work, so there is no room for the blind spots to come in, so I don't know why you keep going on about this.

So you are happy to say that experts can be wrong, but the guy you think is an expert cannot be wrong. Here, ya blowhard --

That's what I think of your slipshod nonsense. You're a bunch of blather, panties in a wad, but you don't even have the thinking to see why you've shot yourself in the foot.

But I'm glad you admitted as much, that you don't understand how PMs and Bushes and Clintons have all of the information about the workings of the world that they want.

Well, first, I made no admission at all, and secondly, if you think you understand anything at all you'd ought to start demonstrating it forthwith. Not all politicians have all information at all times, but I have to confess your faith is charming.

Blind spots aren't an issue when you have real knowledge. What you are doing by asking for proof and basically enough to convict someone in court, is playing judge and jury here, and playing dumb. What we have here, is basically a tape of a mob leader saying he's about to put out a hit on someone, and then a day later, the person ends up thrown into the lake, and you're sitting here going, but you're only appealing to the authority of the mob boss and taking his word for it. You didn't see the man get murdered or thrown in the water. Where's your real proof, huh? The mob boss and his men are innocent, I tells ya. Cringe.  

Dude, put the pipe down, you're rambling now. If you have real knowledge, throw down. Let's see some in=depth articles showing how the one guy had it right and everyone else wrong. If you think your Israeli is an authority on negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, again -- throw down. Give me facts. Everything I've read says that the peace talks broke down because the Russians would not concede Crimea. If you know and can source credibly otherwise, let's see your cards.

Alternatively, if you can't, you should probably start learning phrases like "I think" or "in my opinion" or "I might be full of shit, but ...". Just a friendly suggestion ... "bro".

What's that? You don't have facts? Then your guess is as good as mine, and I trust myself before I trust your dumb ass. You're some schlub online I don't know from a can of paint, and quite frankly doesn't present much insight. I'll think for myself and you can fulminate in your own good time, dingbat.

IA acting like a big shot when he fell for a blatant falsehood about his own source.
