    So we destroy our economy, get thousands upon thousands of Ukranian's killed to teach Putin a lesson?

    This war is hopeless, Despite the propaganda, Ukraine will not win. Ultimately history will look back on this as a futile effort that accomplished nothing

    Nor is a free press defined as one that publishes government and corporate (think Pharma) falsehoods and propaganda. Yes, please have a look in the mirror.

    Patriotism means supporting your country all the time, and its government only when it deserves it. Words of wisdom from Mark Twain.

    You means as opposed to Russian media? Again you think the above applies to the majority of published news in the western world? Prove it, don't just say it.

    And until you do? Your just talking out of an orifice not normally used for communication purposes. (Well not in polite company anyway.).

    It might be new to you, but I've understood for many years that all governments put a spin on the news. All governments practice propaganda in some way.

    Over the years it seems to me that the Russian media comes across as being much more honest than the western media.

    No, actually just late night typing. But thanks anyway for the (typically) masterful contribution to the debate.

    Debate? What debate.

    This is the problem with Americans, never grateful of being properly educated.

    Not American and also privileged to have recieved a good education. (You seem to have missed that part of my post where I said it was late and I was tired).
    That aside by all means please go on demonstrating how clever you are.

    You don't have to be clever to know your and you're, just well read. A well read person is not an opinionated idiot.

    1) What part of 'it's late and I'm tired" did you fail to grasp. Ever been tired? No?
    2) You don't need to be well read to know the difference between 'your' and 'you're', its primary school level English grammar and if you regard that as being 'well read' level of education I can't help you (no-one can).
    3) 'A well read person is not an opinionated idiot.' Please take loooong hard look in mirror, because seriously, your literally a living contradiction to your own opinions.

    Beyond that? The fact your nitpicking over a simple error in grammar made for reasons that were made clear at the time? All that tells me is that you have nothing constructive to say and are frustrated as a result. Maybe a hobby would help - knitting?

    Gotta make a stand somewhere. Eating potatoes is still better than eating potatoes and in chains as well.
