  1. First golden rule of debate is never throw insults but there again you in a class of your own.
  2. Difficult to discuss when you mixed up communism and socialism and don't understand different form of socialism and it's off topic. Let this rest.
  3. Wow, truly profound statement from someone who don't understand the core principles of socialism. Free thinking and critical reflection are rooted in socialism desire for a more equitable and just society.
  4. What is coming is another brotherly nudge by Trump to give Putin another 2 weeks to repent. Trump just dont have the marbles to face up the Putin after he been tapped time and time again. Biden got it right slamming TRump for his foolish appeasement of Putin.
  5. Dont think that would be a wise strategy. Perhaps a better strategy is to target Crimea. Crimea is a staging base and naval stronghold for Russia miltary base and naval control of shipping routes in the Black Sea. The weapon system with longer range will be effective in hitting military and naval targets in Crimea and even the Kerch Strait Bridge which is the main logistic supply route. Reducing Russia superiority in Crimea would be an effective tactic for Kyiv gaining leverage over Kremlin in ceasefire negotiation.
  6. That sounded like a confession that read very little or limited in scope.
  7. There were sanctions on Russia for their invasion of Crimea. Not oil and gas. That will be like the nuclear option. There are economic as well as legal reasons. That’s my opinion
  8. China is refraining themselves with direct military involvement. So far the support is mainly diplomatically and economically. Any direct involvement will jeopardize China’s economic interests and relations with the west. China is not interested in empire building and US will not invade China.
  9. Europe has reduced gas imports from Russia from 44% to 19% since 2022. They have a blue print to totally eliminate gas import from Russia by 2027. This much in line with their policies on energy security and de-carbonization. Europe will have to consider the energy shock to their economy and gas price if there is a sudden disruption to supply.
  10. WW3 already started in Ukraine. The only possibility for peace is to hit Russia into submission or economic annulation. We have seen enough of his repeated threats to escalate. Russia people has no will nor resources to fight an enlarged and protracted war. He will not get support from China.
  11. Save you some trolling time. Trump has gutted the FBI corruption squad that handles investigation of federal staffs and lawmakers. Rest is what he said and posted. You probably don't read much.
  12. Got to laugh at his hypocrisy. Public corruption is almost a daily routine by the criminally indicted felon in the Oval Office. If it is of significant public interest, open the Epstein file. No, you re-open the files because your dear leader has gaslighted these cases for his political agenda. Trump had falsely alleged Joe Biden in the cocaine case, called the Supreme Court leaker slime and push unfounded theory that the left planted the bomb to incite violence and frame his supporters.
  13. No one take him seriously even his bromance with Putin and Kim. Kremlin mocked him as emotional overload and Pyongyang critized his golden dome as a threat to nuclear proliferation.
  14. First rule of thumb is never believe what Trump claimed or spinned. . Obama didn't give 150 billion in cash to Iran. The agreement to frozen Iran's assets included China, France, Germany, Russia, UK and USA and EU; so Obama didn't carry out any part of it on his own. The frozen assets were held largely in foreign, not US banks and the amount was also disputed. Some estimate to be around 50 billions. When the sanction was lifted, the money was unfrozen and returned back to Iran. Similarly Biden released 6 billions of unfrozen Iranian funds.
  15. There are vast differences in the way the expulsions were done under Biden and Trump. Biden emphasized compliance with due process such as requiring agencies to review regulations for fairness and efficiency. Trump's method was aggressive revocation policies often bypassing due process; reasons the courts intervened and ruled against these methods mostly citing insufficient evidence and procedural failures.
