Not as quickly as Russian soldiers...

They seem to have more immediate health issues than lung cancer.

You are indeed misrepresenting what I wrote. Not terribly surprising, in fact, run of the mill for you.

The PM of Israel is not merely an expert, as you put it. So you don't think the ex-PM of Israel or former Presidents like Bill Clinton are in the know about world events, and you imagine that because of their lack of knowledge and being in the dark, they have to make guesses based on what they see on the news, and they are subject to blind spots with those guesses. That's your position. Not misrepresenting it.

And that opinion of yours, is naive as shit. When you're in these elite circles, you are told what is going on. If you think Bill Clinton or the ex PM of Israel aren't privy to the goings ons of the world and that they have to make due with guess work like the rest of us schlubs, then you are free to have that opinion I guess. We have Christians and Muslims on here talking about just as crazy of ideas as you just brought up, so why not bring in your crazy too? Extreme ignorance is welcome here. Hopefully you learn a thing or two over your stay here. Cheers.

No, you were the one who said even experts can get it wrong. Why are you bow trying to turn this around, unless you are indeed full of shit and yourself, which is, by the bye, my opinion of you?

So is your Israeli premier "highly qualified"? Does he escape your scrutiny because he has a title?

You have not shown evidence for what you think is "obvious", except to quote someone who is in your opinion "highly qualified", while at the same time you have not laid out his qualifications nor solid evidence to back up his claim. You've said his word is enough, but you've also said that the words of "highly qualified" people can still be wrong.

Do you now see your mental lapse? I do. In short, this is an appeal to authority. The fact that you don't yourself recognize this marks you as a slipshod thinker.

Uncle Vlad had him at russian master race - it's no more complicated than that. The idea that fucking mongrels are embarrassing white russia is simply too much. It's proof, to his diseased mind, of the precarious position of the fairer peoples. He'll bitch and moan at this characterization, but not because it's innaccurate.

What a cuck, taking the word of some jew as gospel.  May as well agree with that clown Zelenskyy. Your white card is pulled, untermensch.

This post has earned you a one beerscreen.  Hilarious

I don't agree. I don't think Putin sees Ukrainians as mongrels, else why would he be kidnapping children to poison the genetic well? Losing tens of thousands of men to kidnap tens of thousands of Ukrainian kids not only looks like a wash, it also replies to the untermenschen motivation you're floating.

I think Putin's motivation is much less master-race and much more "I want to take my ranking with Tsar Ivan or tovarisch Stalin". Much more personal. Now, if this requires genocide, it's all fair pool in his mind; but he's at this point striving for his place in Russian history, I believe, rather than any overarching ideology of master race.

The fact that Ukraine is embarrassing the shit out of him in this, the last major deed of his life, must hurt. And boy, them are some sweet tears he's crying. Meanwhile, his food-tasters are very worried about their own life-spans.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Honestly, Trump is a clear and present danger to the security of the United States and the free world.

He just wants the world's governments to be totalitarian.

He's preparing the ground in case he needs to flee criminal charges.
