Talk about changing the subject.... I simply said that the idea of Biden as a warmonger in large part is due to his full throated and expensive pledges to keep Zelensky afloat at a time when the money is needed domestically.

It has done the opposite of stabalize Europe, plus caused inflation and chaos to boot. You know what would stabilize Europe? A truce. Not to mention it is not just a flick of a switch to produce modern weapons and ammo. It takes years to replenish supplies that are lost and/or given away. But the most important thing they will run out of is soldiers. So unless you are willing for NATO to jump into the war, the actual weapons systems available will not really matter in the long run.

Of course, no need to be stroppish. Just suggesting the reason for the accusation of Biden. When veterans are homeless on the streets of America, it is a hard sell to spend that kind of treasure to prop up a distant regime.

Probably p!ssing away close to $200 billion on Ukraine.

Biden can run on "democracy", whatever that is. Trump will run on closed borders, 2 dollar gas and 2 percent mortgages. Guess who will win? He can't run on the economy- polls show that trust in Biden to deal with the economy is at an almost historic low. So, I guess it is fearmongering until the bitter end. And most people are smart enough to see through the "dictator on day one" nonsense. IF Trump wanted to be a dictator, the Covid crisis was the perfect opportunity. National crises leave countries vulnerable to dictators. Yet Trump did nothing of the kind.

If you don't believe me, perhaps you would believe the NIH. Their research shows that up to 95% of deaths among native people were due to disease. It is estimated that 95 percent of the indigenous populations in the Americas were killed by infectious diseases during the years following European colonization, amounting to an estimated 20 million people. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8785365/#:~:text=It is estimated that 95,an estimated 20 million people.

Untrue. Most died from diseases and sicknesses that they did not have immunity to. They weren't "killed off", which implies a genocidal intention on the part of "the Europeans".

Thank you for the much needed etymology lesson. My point was different, as I suspect you know. I was stating that "the Indians" were not a cultural or political entity in pre-discovery North America.It was a fragmented, warring, tribal, brutal era.

There is no such thing as "the Indians". How racist and over simplistic of you! There were myriad tribes all fighting and killing each other. Much like everywhere else in the world before the modern advent of nation states.

Yeah, almost the same way that Native Americans behaved towards each other for centuries BEFORE the first European even arrived. When talking about compensation, you need to be specific. Who is the wronged party here?

Great. Then, THAT tribe will compensate the tribe that THEY stoke the land from, right?

If ya think Trump is doddering, check out the clip of him playing tennis with Venus Williams. In a suit, no less. Love to see Joe try…

I am liking some Meloni. Listening to her speak passionately in italian is quite moving, and rather sexy.

Nah, the point is your scriptural reference was 100% irrelevant. And Hunter, being married, could not marry his sister-in-law anyway.

Y'all need to read your scriptures more carefully. In a Levirate marriage, the surviving brother should not already be married. The purpose was to safeguard the widow as well as the dead brother's legacy. Also, 'has no son' does not apply since Beau and Hallie had a son before Beau died. Other than that, nice try.

In your dreams you could get some of this....

He had two teenage daughters while he was banging his sister in law. He had also had affairs even before that, which was what led to his wife wanting to leave him. To quote the BBC; During their acrimonious divorce, Ms Buhle accused Hunter of "spending extravagantly on his own interests (including drugs, alcohol, prostitutes, strip clubs, and gifts for women with whom he had sexual relations) while leaving the family with no funds to pay legitimate bills". https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-55805698 So yeah, dirtbag is mild to describe Hunter.

It is prudish to think a man is a dirtbag if he screws his kids' aunt while still married to their mother? I'll plead guilty to that. And, 'filed for divorce' sill means 'married'. So yeah, I think immoral or unsavory apply. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on eastern European prostitutes...

Not really. NATO did not exist in 1938 for one. One thing signing a cease fire would do that is VERY valuable is that it would give Europe a chance to rearm. The vast majority of NATO countries spend pennies on defense. They have been relying on the US far too much to protect them. This is what Trump was pointing out during his presidency, and the lazy Euros got all stroppish. I mean, Europe has a GDP more than 10 times that of Russia. The idea that they cannot defend themselves against Russia is lunacy. They could do it, but just dont want to.

That is the standard answer from the warmongers and Russiaphobes. If you are not 100% on board with starting World War 3 to back up little Vloddy, then you are a Putin puppet. No nuance, no reference.

The exceptions do not disprove the general rule. Dana Loesch and Megyn Kelly vs. Rachel Maddow and Joy Behar. Besides, tell me honestly that you would refuse a 'hand shandy' from Lauren Bobert in a dark theatre. Go on, I dare you!

Hey, if in your world it is OK to be a married man and screw your dead brother's widow, there isn't much I can say.

Those two names and you run out of sympthetic voices for the Bad Orange Man. Now what would ABC. NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, The NY Times and LA Times, WaPo, NPR and PBS, all do, I wonder...

Small flaw in that logic is that Ukraine will run out of the most important resource- men, long before Russia. And all the gear from NATO won't make up for it. Especially if Ukraine needs to go on offence to win back territory. The Russians are tenacious on defence, just ask Hitler.

I think your veiled Nazi references probably don't apply. So, how do you see an outcome that both avoids WW3 AND kicks Russia out of all occupied Ukranian territory, including the Crimea? This is a question all the Zelensky cheerleaders never seem to have a rational answer for.
