This interview with Fiona Hill seems relevant and perhaps disturbing.

Re: This War Is Very Depressing To Me
Though I had not read much of Robert Reich, I was intrigued due to the fact that his information challenged so much of my own.
Reich is right about this, as others have been trying to explain to you in the past.

Re: Nuke the Ukes!
And then Poland?
I'm pretty sure that if he touches Poland (or any other NATO member), he will get an unflinching response from NATO. And I'm pretty sure Putin knows that.

Re: Nuke the Ukes!
I'm getting the sense that some people believe Putin's expansion has a natural stopping point and so doesn't represent a real threat to us.
Putin is indeed a real threat. For now, I'll leave the decision making to Biden and NATO members.

Re: Stalinists! Nazis! and Psychos! Oh, my!
Like we've been saying, he's a fucking idiot.
I have pretty much been ignoring LamarkNewAge. Most of what he posts is either incoherent or wrong.
Because I ignore him, I don't have to get angry. And that's probably better for my own health.

Re: Jars Insults
You seem to think that continued fiat currencies will be all we need.
I hate to break the news. But money backed by gold was still a fiat currency.

Re: The War Drags On
It is near hopeless.
Phat constructs he reality out of right wing talking points. And he carries that around with smart phone. Worse still, it is in video, so it seems much more real to Phat than actual reality.

Re: Thats What We Do
For the record, after reading Mooses sources, I agree with the following:
(To be edited)
Yes, I agree. Whatever you intended to say will need to be edited in order for it to make any sense.

Re: Where do weapons for Ukraine come from?
I'm not sure, but I have the impression that some of the weapons are coming from our military. And Biden's budget proposal will include funding for the military to replace some of what has been sent to Ukraine.

Re: Military Industrial Complex
None of you know my true character.
Hmm. I'll put on my psychologist hat. I'm not in any way a psychologist, so I am making it up as I go along.
You are bored most of the time. You start new topics and open really old threads to relieve your boredom and get some communication going. You are religious partly because that religious community is almost the only community you have.
*** end of making stuff up ***
For me, it was easy to leave religion behind me, because I had found community elsewhere. And I pay enough attention to what is going on in the world, that I am seldom bored.
I think we are way off topic.

You are still welcome here.
Maybe I disagree with you most of the time, but diversity is good.
Admin did have a point. You do have a bad habit of posting bare links. It shouldn't be that difficult to write a sentence or two summarizing your position.

Percy mentions my echo chamber, but his whole forum is virtually a left wing echo chamber!
No, the site really isn't an echo chamber. The lefties here often disagree with one another, and give reasons for their positions. They don't just echo.
Honestly, I welcome your contributions. But they need to actually say something and not be bare links. Diversity and disagreement can be good. It broadens our horizons.
