It's just another dumb fucking senseless war the US instigated by overthrowing Ukraine in 2014.

Just another stupid ignorant parroting of a statement thouroughly proven wrong many-many-many times on this board alone.

At least your anti Iraq war rants were more entertaining and (somewhat) better argued. You should probably stick to that. But you don't do these anymore. I wonder why.

I'm not going to argue with somebody that can't trust their own damned ears or brains. I'm sick of NPCs.

If you are truly incapable of using your brain and are allowing propagandists to think for you, there's nothing to discuss. It's a waste of ANYBODY'S time to try to engage with you.

Eric Holder says

Victoria Nuland's husband is Robert Kagan, one of the PNAC assholes that came up with the BRILLIANT strategy of putting the US into 100 years of war.

Without dupes like you, they wouldn't be able to do it.

Who am I kidding? You have no idea what PNAC is and it would be a total waste of time to explain it to you. I'm certain you believe to this day that the Iraq war was just an unfortunate intelligence mistake.

Changing your mind or making you think would be like trying to explain to Greta Thunberg the world isn't about to end in a climate catastrophe.

I used my brain many times to wipe the floors with that intellectually dishonest and feeble mush sitting in your skull, but you, true to the Danning-Krueger effect you're suffering from, didn't even understand that. I tried sacrasm, mockery, slow and deliberate explanations but all to no avail. You just repeat the same old shit like a broken record. No knowledge, no principles, no value in conversation. Nord Sream in Black Sea. Events reversed in time. Yada-yada-yada... You are not even enterntaining anymore. It's like making fun of some retarded kid.

Eric Holder says

Pfft. Don't break your arm jerking yourself off

I've shown Victoria Nuland's transcript multiple times and the recording. I trust other people to be able to reason and think and know what they are hearing

I don't need to insult you, claim "victory", or assert "I've wiped the floor with you". I am at the end of my patience in trying to appeal to people's reasoning.

They can see for themselves and if you truly can't see it, you're just somebody with a mental disability to me.

richwicks says

And yet you run away from a simple question: now that we know that her line was compromised, how come there are no records of her participation in planning the revolution? You know, the revolution which started some months before the recording? The Rashists have compromised a line of a top level official, yet the best that they could produce doesn't match the timelines of the message which they channel through the likes of you.

If you seek someone with mental disability.. you do have mirrors in your household, don't you?

you guys be good to each other, its just a forum and we have opinions

mostly reader says

And yet you run away from a simple question: now that we know that her line was compromised,

I know who and what NuLand and Kagan are, I've followed her for years. She's a corrupt criminal monster.

In any case, I don't care to spend time convincing you of, what is to me and many others, blatantly obvious.

Of course the US overthrew Ukraine. Nuland has been verbally attacking Russia for near a decade. The coup followed the same basic features of Ajax and PBSuccess. Take over media, foment astroturf unrest, demonize the leader, try to get them to react, fake the reaction if necessary.

They followed the same playbook to install Biden.

mostly reader says

how come there are no records of her participation in planning the revolution?

Where are the records for our coup? Hidden of course.

Tired of talking about this.

> richwicks

I'm asking you a simple question. Your response is - "but she's a criminal because I followed her and I don't care to convince you". Unrelated blabber. That's what you are - blabbering assertions with no substance.

richwicks says

Where are the records for our coup? Hidden of course.

I'm asking you specifically about Ukraine, so cut the red herring. Hidden by who?? Rashists have data from the compromised line, they have the goods! Why not let the juiciest pieces be known to the public, why limit themselves to conversation which is already irrelevant because it mismatches the timeline of the narrative? (your narrative!)

mostly reader says

I no longer care to convince you.

Intelligence from RUSSIA which is where TWO phone recordings are from makes the case. Showing all their cards gives adversaries more knowledge of what Russia knows.

Frankly, the West seems to be in a panic to me. Threats of trying Putin as a war criminal and other nonsense.

Neither China, India, or Pakistan are lining up to support Ukraine, and honestly the support of European leaders is tepid.

We'll see the inevitable outcome in time. I expect Russia to attain their goals which are not expansion. Just a question of how many people Ihor Kolomoyskyi gets killed in time.

The end result will probably be a weakened Russia and a devastated Ukraine. Also, a very weakened west. I wouldn't be surprised to see massive inflation and an exodus of Indian and Chinese tech workers.

richwicks says

Probably Onvacation will find out, he likes going through morality rates.

Mortality, but yeah.

I no longer trust the CDC's numbers. I have old copies of monthly death rates that don't match the new "adjusted" rates. It seems to me that when someone dies of something it should not later change.

I don't trust that our rulers have our best interest at heart.

At least the 2020 election and the Covid scam have opened some eyes. Unfortunately other eyes are more tightly closed.

Trump was impeached because he questioned why Biden extorted the Ukrainian government. Why?

richwicks says

I no longer care to convince you.

And still no answer to the simple question that I asked you. Instead, you throw more "red herring" shit on the fan - Q: "why are there no juicier records of Nuland now that we know that her line was compromised?" A: "but, but Kolomoyskyi made Putler do it and he also crapped in Putler's pants!"

You are definition of pathetic.

P.S. Hey, before I forget - have you accepted that Rashists just invent propaganda points and then run with them?

EVERYBODY uses propaganda.

Ghost of Kiev

I'm interested in what MY government lies about. I don't care what other governments lie about.

It's irrelevant. I need to know what my government lies about because it effects the future of this nation.

Our media only has credibility with simpletons at this point. It's a mission to deprive them of even that.

I would like a working information system constructed before I die or totalitarian slavery is this nation's future.

richwicks says

EVERYBODY uses propaganda.

I made a specific statement: that Rashists don't even bother with relevance to reality, they just invent their own reality and use it in propaganda. You PRESSURED me for examples. Which I submitted without looking further than surface. And you still, STILL! wouldn't admit it. You wouldn't debate it either because it can't really be debated. Instead, you hide behind more red herring: "Oh, but I'm curious what MY government lies about"

HAVE YOU ACCEPTED THAT RASHISTS PROPAGANDA INVENTS FACTS AND RUNS WITH IT? It's a simple yes/no question. And, on a second note, with examples so obvious why did you bother to pressure me to get them?

It's worthwhile to reassert: explaining your MO by Danning-Krueger effect is giving you too much credit.

mostly reader says

I wrote you off as somebody that won't do trivial thinking and will accept the most stupid and ridiculous explanations from the US press.

The fact you dismiss the recording of NuLand, causes me to entirely dismiss any thoughts you have entirely.

You might as well be arguing with me about Iraq and ignoring the Downing Street memos, the Office of Special Plans, and insisting our intelligence agencies just made a "mistake".

"Your" thinking isn't worth considering. To be blunt I have absolutely no respect for you or your thinking. I don't care about your opinions and don't believe you are worth much of my time

richwicks says

I wrote you off as somebody that won't do trivial thinking and will accept the most stupid and ridiculous explanations from the US press.

You lie. Again. The questions that I asked you didn't come from US press. At least I haven't seen them asked there.

My guess: you have no answer and use "ad hominem" to appear less pathetic.

To the fun stuff: HAVE YOU ACCEPTED THAT RASHISTS PROPAGANDA INVENTS FACTS AND RUNS WITH IT? It's a simple yes/no question. And, on a second note, with examples so obvious why did you pressure me to get them?

You lie. Again

Again - I don't care what you think at this point. I TRIED to interact with you - I gave up. Say whatever you please about me, your opinion is worthless to me and I cannot be insulted by you.

What's the point in talking to you? There is no point.

I've concluded you just want an argument and are incapable of having a discussion. I can't change your mind, because I concluded quite some time ago, you have no mind to change. I compared talking with you like talking to Greta Thunberg and trying to convince her that perhaps she's wrong, or somebody that believes the intelligence was "mistaken" about Iraq.

You're too dogmatic, so any effort I expend merely communicating with you is a waste of time including this.

richwicks says

Here, you see this?

No, I don't. I see more red herring. I produce unambiguous examples of fiction manufactured by a Nazi (Rashist) state caught in their lies on a MAJOR event. That manufactured propaganda is then thrown left and right in order to lead any conversation on that topic astray. You do what- respond with a "ghost of Kyiv"?

You are wiggling like a snake on a frying pan.

EVERYBODY uses propaganda.

And you wonder why I write this:

richwicks says

Either you can't reason, or you are a troll. We are at an impasse. I can't see any reason to engage with talking to somebody who thinks they are being reasonable and to me, seems obviously unreasonable.

Why should I bother? Talking to you is just agonizing. But please, continue with stuff like this:

mostly reader says

The "WHY" bit makes the spanking proper.

In all the time I've wasted talking to you, I consider it now a complete waste of time. Talking to a wall is not pleasant and talking to somebody that simply constantly argues with you, isn't either.

richwicks says

EVERYBODY uses propaganda.

My POINT was that Rashists use propaganda on a different level and they don't even care about facts. They just manufacture them. On MAJOR topics. Such as topics which confirm their role in the Ukrainian conflict and demonstrate that this conflict is a result of hybrid war that Rashists led for years. It's well documented.

Your response is a non-response. It's more wiggling.

Let's try again: 1) Have you accepted that Rashists propaganda invents facts and runs with it? Yes or no? 2) YOU asked me for examples. Why? You didn't know?

You are incapable of facing the obvious because it destroys the worldview which you are pushing here.

mostly reader says

I must be doing something right then. Being respected by a lunatic would've been a cause for concern.

You show no capacity to think. Let me explain something that OUGHT to be obvious to you, but apparently isn't.

Authority and legitimacy of a government is granted to it by trust in the government and authority. If they have to continually lie, and they do, they may not be legitimate. If everything you hear in "news" is false, you have illegitimate authority that maintains its authority exclusively through deception, not honesty.

This is why I'm interested EXCLUSIVELY in US propaganda and misinformation tactics.

mostly reader says

Repeat after me: "I accept that Rashists propaganda manufactures facts on major events". Do it 10 times each morning.

I've already told you 3 times that OF COURSE everybody uses propaganda.

Propaganda doesn't necessarily have to be false. Propaganda is spreading ideas (true or false) by bypassing their reasoning process - that doesn't mean you are deceiving them. It means you're not bothering to tell them the reasoning process to attain the conclusion.

I'm interested in the legitimacy of this nation. I don't care about Russia's legitimacy, they aren't my problem - that's a problem for Russians. I don't care if they lie.

You think I do. What does it matter what the Russians say about a foreign war? What matters is - what is my government using this war to do, and what are they lying about and to what end?

The US government obviously doesn't care about civilians deaths, the US kills civilians all the time, but then it's "collateral damage" - they just change the terms. The US government doesn't care about accuracy in the media, they care about pushing a narrative. The reason gasoline is at an all time high doesn't have anything to do with Russia, but the Biden administration is falsely claiming that.

It's been pointed out that the beneficiaries of this war will be the United States and China. It makes Russia entirely dependent on just China and India for energy sales (or will in time), and it cripples Europe, but who has been bombing the Middle East for 20 years and to what end? The US is magnanimously offering to sell "freedom gas", in the form of LNG at a significantly higher price of course - ports are going to have to be refitted to handle this, there's money in that as well. Norway will be a beneficiary - England may be as well since they have stakes in the energy production of the Middle East. The US is still targeting Iran, if if LNG is short next year in Europe, well, we'll be bombing Iran in short order I expect just like we were bombing Syria.

Your thinking, the trivial amount you do, is irrelevant. Doesn't matter who wins this war from the point of view of the United States - but if the US divorces Russian / European energy dependence, that's a HUGE win. Under the guise of a pandemic, we have reduced our energy consumption, and its been said by multiple politicians that "this is the new normal". For all I know, Putin is in league with the United States. India will have increasing dependence on Russian energy, and Europe will have increasing dependence on the United States and the UK.

Not that you're going to read it anyhow.

I don't care about Ukrainian Nazis, Russian Nazis, or any of that bullshit. I'm interested in why there are US biological weapons labs there, why the US overthrew Ukraine, what the actions will lead to. I didn't think it would really cause war, but here it is. So what's the purpose of the war for the Americans? It's not to help regular Americans. It's to help the oligarchy at the expense of regular Americans.

To understand what is going on, you have to think like a sociopath, because that's how our sociopathic leaders think. It's your only opportunity to counteract them.

Anyhow, sick of talking to you.

This thinking stuff is too hard.

The Economist Told Me, So Must Be True. All Good Thinking People get their Opinions From Approved Sources, no matter how they contradict what is known. Like COVID Masking helping slow the spread, at least a little because Controlled Lab Experiments trump almost every Public Health Survey on Mask Wearing during Respiratory Disease Outbreaks. And all empirical, real world data on COVID cases and deaths between regions/countries with varying rules.

richwicks says

I've already told you 3 times that OF COURSE everybody uses propaganda.

And each time you've been told that "using propaganda" wasn't the question at hand. Or else, why DID you pressure me to produce examples of something that you now claim is obvious? Even your complete lack of coherency doesn't explain it.

But you doing a switcheroo does. Snake on the frying pan style. You attempt to switch from topic A - "Rashists blatantly manufacturing info and pushing it onto the world." (for which you demanded examples) To topic B - "oh, everyone is using propaganda, how silly of you not to know".

You asked me for examples of A, which you are now attempting to transform to B. Your bullshit is so cute.

So, repeat after me: "I accept that Rashists propaganda manufactures facts on major events". Do it 10 times each morning.

Kim Iversen talks about an article written by a French general who has made a career in NATO helping the Ukraine. Apparently he says that this all started because Ukraine incorporated the Nazi militias into their army and turned them loose on the Russian speaking separatists of the Donbas region. In February these brutal battalions began shelling cities and towns in Donbas to wipe them out. Russia then had a choice: watch as their people get genocided by literal Nazis, or intervene. Of course Biden made it worse because his intelligence agencies knew the choice Russia had in front of them and called their choice for war ahead of time. It was an easy call. Imagine how we would feel if say, California seceded and then a bunch of California Nazis began doing ethnic cleansing in San Bernadino. Should we intervene or let it happen?

Also known as "argument by status".

February. That's when Rashists army amassed at the Ukrainian border.

That should be enough to stop reading.

Unless your windows don't open at all this is how you make sure they don't break from explosions: unlock them and put several 3-5L plastic bottles on the ledge to act as a brake. This way the window will be able to open to releave the difference in pressure but won't open so violently as to break the glass from impact at the end of the swing because it will spend all that energy pushing away thse water bottles.

Obviously won't work for sliding windows and windows opening outwards but these are rare in Eastern Europe.
