All indications are that Lula has won, so the discussion is moot in any case. Unless Bolsonaro makes an overt move, there has been no “coup” or...
I agree that’s the most favorable outcome, and we should all hope and pray for that. But our government gets paid to do more than hope (our...
Not in my opinion. If the tweet is accurate, they are committing election interference and undermining democracy. The truth of that should be good...
That’s my hope, too. Believe me. I am thoroughly enjoying it every time Russia gets embarrassed and duggers has to say how they meant to do that...
Your second point first. You are correct that empty threats would have meant nothing. We should have made no overt threat at all. Once Russian...
Assuming that’s true, I agree that’s undemocratic. But just saying a thing doesn’t make it so. Call it election interference if you like, but it’s...
No, it isn’t. Words mean things. Is the military (or a paramilitary organization, such as the SS, IRGC et al) attempting to seize power from the...
Wait. Is it a “coup” or an “attempt to suppress the vote?” Those are not the same things. The failure to make a distinction suggests this tweet is...
There were lots of deterrence measures, short of directly engaging Russia, left on the table both before and since the war has started. I’ve...
If you’re sorry, then delete this thread. I can only imagine how much fun the pood fans on Mama’s Dish — or whatever they call their equivalent...
That is simply not true. The Zelensky Administration was taking it very seriously. The preparedness measures they were taking are obvious in...
East to do in retrospect. Best to remember that Zook never succeeded anywhere else he went, either. It wasn’t like we fired a guy who went on to...
Hard for me to get excited about the use of WP on the battlefield. If they use land mines, well, the people’s princess might roll around in her...
This thread title is embarrassing. Please delete.
Concur. Four three and outs straight. Might as well get some reps for the backup and not get AR really hurt.
Several times. 2002, 2003, 2005 have all been mentioned in this thread. 1984 was a little before my time, but I understand it was the same deal.
Exactly. The argument here is about self-determination of nations. Ukraine is saying it’s a sovereign, independent nation with its own people,...
Could very well be. That was my bet on initial reading of the thread title. What suggests that it isn’t is the lack of an assailant description or...
You’re leaving out a lot for a convenient narrative. I don’t deny the extreme right in this country supported letting Hitler have free reign in...
You must still be responding to that clown Russophile. Don’t you have his talking points down yet? Russia didn’t take Kyiv because it was an...
