A Step Too Far

a reply to: BedevereTheWise

Like the Corona virus vaccine doesn't kill it's recipients. It just causes the organ failures that does the killing.

Would you like to try an analogy that actually makes sense?

a reply to: BedevereTheWise

I doubt there is one you would accept.

If a gigantic asteroid struck in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, it will not kill millions of people that live on or around it's coasts. It will be the tidal waves it creates that causes the death and destruction.

Nope. Doesn't work, either.

Well surprise, surprise. Who would have thought?

When a clamshell is opened, there are only a few where a pearl is found.

Here is one.

If country tries to take over one of its neighbours resulting in lots of death and destruction it's that countries fault.




Sorry got mixed up that isn't an analogy, it's just what Russia has done.

Damn! That's original!

a reply to: charlest2

Does it have to be?

On topic:

1. How might the West end up with any part of Ukraine?
2. Which bits have we destroyed?

OldCarpy, have another beer!

You buying?

I'd rather have straight answers to my questions.

I'll send it to you COD.

You don't want answers. You refuse to accept answers that don't comport to your opinion. You want to continue trivial useless debate.

"You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink". Isn't that what you said?

a reply to: charlest2

I do want answers. Not petulance.

You make claims, without any evidence, you back them up when questioned.

Simples.

a reply to: Oldcarpy2

No, you don't!

You don't want answers, or truths you will most assuredly reject. You are a creature of your prejudiced worldview and refuse to accept anything that may contradict your perceptions.

I think RussianTroll hit on it the other day. The Dunning-Kruger effect is clearly evident in you.

I don't know why the mods terminated that thread.

The irony.

a reply to: charlest2

If you might actually provide a straight answer instead of petulant insults, we might see, I guess?

Give me your "truths" and we might then have a grown up discussion.

If you cannot or will not do that, well. Jog on.

a reply to: Oldcarpy2

No you won't. You are a bottomless pit of denial of reality that does not conform to your perceptions.

a reply to: charlest2

I think I am trying to reason with a child?

Show me your "reality" by answering my straightforward questions, if you can, please?

a reply to: Oldcarpy2

I think I am trying to reason with a child?

I feel the same way. In that, I think we are kindred spirits.

If the United States and NATO insanely authorizes the use of these weapons deep into Russian territory, that will be a red line crossed without the possibility to step back from. The use of these weapons on Russian territory will be the step too far that could likely lead to nuclear escalation.

This US administration is insane. They are going to get us all killed, for no justifiable reason.

PUTIN is the one threatening to use nuclear weapons. PUTIN. not the West. not the USA. not NATO. PUTIN.

I don't want to hear this 'look what you made me do' passive aggressive crap. Putin is the ONLY person responsible for this war and all these casualties.

still hoping some Russian generals do us all a favor and implement a window-tossing regime change.
