    That song is inspired :) Tsing does the "I can't understand you" routine a lot.

    Because neither of you can find a coherent sentence with two hands and a flashlight half the time. That's not my fault.

    I speak several languages as well. I just try to be coherent when I use them. But thank you for clarifying that English is a second language for you. Are you an American citizen? Answer honestly.

    In regard to your #1, you really need to go back to your history and understand how Russia became that "large" and how other countries expanded their own borders. Pay close attention to how we, in the United States, expanded our own. Note the similarities.

    In regard to #2, please show me where Putin has said that russia is not "large enough"?

    Having lived and visited in both Russia and the Ukraine, I believe I'm a tad more qualified to understand the people in both places than you.

    No, you just resort to that nonsense when your ego is distressed.

    Dude, I crap bigger than you. If you think I'm - at all - distressed by you or "Atlantic", then this is yet another example of your inability to read people that probably points to your place on the Spectrum. Don't blame me for your constant garbling and ranting.

    It often comes to my mind when abusers and their conformist abused, make the argument that faced with overwhelming odds it was morally wrong for the victim to even try and resist.

    Ukraine is Camus’ absurd hero.

    Albert Camus’ concept of the "absurd hero" suggests that even in the face of hopelessness, one must resist and persist. Fighting a determined aggressor can be seen as an act of rebellion against absurdity and injustice, regardless of the outcome.

  9. This is why I harp on trump supporters who claim if trump was president the war would have never started.

    Putin was going to invade Ukraine no matter who was president because putin knows all america could do is send aid and money to ukraine and put sanctions on russia... they were never going to send troops or start a war. why do people think putin cares who was president?

    Also putin knows that this was going to be a long campaign and at some point the money runs out and U.S. would back off. To prove my point, trump is coming in January and what is the big change? Americans told whoever won to stop sending money there to Ukraine and trump said it too. So why would putin believe that trump being president means he should stop until he takes over ukraine?

    I think looking back at the last 150 years of foreign dictators or terrorists starting wars or military campaigns, not one of them gave a shit about the U.S. I mean Hitler invaded most of Europe for 2 years before U.S. did anything more than sending aid and the main reason was Japan's stupidity in attacking Pearl Harbor. After Iraq/Afghanistan everyone in the world knows the U.S. is not committing troops overseas to fight occupation wars anymore.
