    The one living in a lie, of course. Do you really need your hand held this much?

    Ya, Biden is hell bent on world war III which surprises me being the Democrats used to be anti-war since the 70's. Now, they are leading the charge. Absolutely deplorable.

    Nonsense. Standing up to a militaristic autocrat is far from being "hell bent on World War III." In fact, it's being hell-bent on preventing it.

    Amazing that Russia sends in 200 to 300k against like 40k in Human Wave suicide attacks on Bahkmut and they still cannot fully take the city. How many Russian citizens lives does it take to win. Russians should be asking Putin if this was even worth it. No Specail Military Operation involves losing up to 200k citizens all while now claiming they are fighting for their very existence. Word on the street in Russia is that just about everyone is questioning Putin's goals.

    FYI. This "war" could have been prevented from even being started. I guess once Nuclear missiles start flying, you will still defend the moron. At least that may be what the media tells you to think or repeat.

    The current war or the one you imagine is coming?

    And if nuclear missiles start flying, I doubt either of us will be sitting around arguing about this here.

    Dude .. I know about the lie your living a lie ... no need to hold my hand - we had this conversation .. you need to take responsibility for your failings in logic .. Supporting Pol Pot is amoral.. lest one is a Sociopath - The lie is that the reverse is true ... which was your position .. along with numerous others of similar dubiousness ?? .. such as the idea that you are some patriot .. for overlooking Gov't crimes ..against both its citizens .. and against humanity..

    those are two poison lizards we might work on extracting ..

    :applause::applause:

    Mort .. we often disagree .. but two thumbs up and a "Darn tootin" from my end - filthy war mongers .. workin for the Man instead of the people. Biden's latest JV team .. the previous proxy Teams not having fared so well

    Depends where the nukes fly .. a small tactical blast over Kiev is not going to start WW3 .. the war to end all wars. Lets see how far Bidens Handlers want to escalate things .. escalation being something you support Mr. D a third Poison lizard in two posts Cheer leading those green Teens into the meat grinder over lost cause .. because if escalation does get out of hand .. the kiev blast will end it .. quick like bunnies to the negotiating table we will go...

    You gonna call Putins Bluff and escalate further at that point ? The Floor is all yours - have fun defending that position and not have Neocon written on forehead.

    I don't support Pol Pot.

    You do support Putler.

    See? You wouldn't even blame Putler if he deployed a nuclear weapon and monstrously destroyed Kyiv with one, but you'd want to attack Biden for responding in any way to that.

    Sick.

    I have never supported Putin .. quit repeating this lie .. anyone who disagrees with one of your bumbling perspectives is automatically labeled a Russian Stooge .. Classic demonization of the other .. Nazi Propaganda techniques .. from the guy who can't remember the positions he has not taken from one post to the next ..

    Disingenuous Oblivion .. "Again" this time asking "how is it immoral to support Pol Pot" .. which was one side in a conflict.

    Did you really need this explained to you Durandal ? why supporting Pol Pot (one side in a conflict) is immoral ?

    and while we are on the topic of (DO) do you still believe there is no propaganda censorship in western media ? or did you manage to convince Jack and yourself that the Biden Admin having regular interaction with Facebook-Google -- encouraging them to cancel a certain narratives they didn't like was not censorship. .. and that Tik Tok obliging was not censorship-propaganda

    come on D - .. how about we try to have a serious convo for a change .. let go of the Back-Slap Pudd Pull .. and wanky whoo ho ho :)

    Simply a false made up assertion .. but what is laughable is you are now crying out for nuclear escalation -- which is fine . welcome to your Armaggedon Fantasies .. but just because I disagree with some MAD lunacy some poster is sharing .. don't make me a friend of Putin . and such is moronic non argument .. all this being one big Ad Hom /Strawman fallacy on your part in the first place. Now go figure out what a valid argument is .. these fallacyland fantasies are getting old.

    British artillery keeps Russian heads low on the Bakhmut bridgehead


    No "green teens" or "Nazis" in sight here. Just brave and competent men defending their freedom.

    That is because you have yet to come up with one my friend :) LOL

    Your love and support for extremist authoritarians Pol Pot and Mao is based on delusion
    Your persistant cries that others love and support Putin because they happen to disagree with one of your positions .. is based on delusion.

    I could list many more .. but, those are what examples of delusion look like. Running around crying "delusion delusion" without giving example does not mean delusion exists .. but is repetition of premise fallacy .. mindlessly repeating an unsupported claim over and over like a parrot on broken record .. is not proof of claim.

    A couple more for the road,

    Perhaps your biggest - Delusion 3 - your belief that there is no propaganda-censorship in Western Media - despite being given numerous examples such as the Biden admin directing deletion of content conflicting with state sponsored propaganda narrative.

    Delusion 4 - the belief that hiding from and/or denial of correction will not stunt ones mental growth.

    This author does not seem to consider the possibility of a Russian collapse due to, say, the loss of Crimea. This author argues that it might instead trigger a nuclear response from Putin, since it is an existential matter for him personally. The author makes it all sound very bleak for Ukraine and the west, with "no good options," and feels that the Russian economy is resilient and will resume growth, albeit more slowly.

    I wonder how right the author ultimately is and what other outcomes we might hope to see, and what would actually follow if Putin did decide to use a nuke against Ukraine.

    If Putin were to use a nuke against Ukraine then it would be likely all his forces in Ukraine would be erased by NATO air.
    I do not find the linked article as pessimistic as you do for Ukraine.

    I know right. But they say Putin will march on! Yeah, I get that, so let's get ready for that and let's make sure this guy is really down for WW3 before we take a course that commits millions to death, including many peoples that could care less about our dust-up with Russia.

    The Russian air defense network is both extensive and sophisticated, and extends over Crimea. NATO air forces would not fire a single round at ground forces before a massive stealth/helicopter bombardment of that network.

    I suspect Russia's air defense is junk just like the rest of Russia's forces, but you're right about one thing. Phase One of the NATO air campaign would be to eliminate Russia's air defense capability. Might take a day or two.
