"The post... described the building as a place of constant surprises" That's a hilarious line.

Dude, you guys did the same thing with Biden.

MSM REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

What I was going to say is that anything that doesn't fit in the narrative that far right websites feed them is immediately dismissed as "MSM FAKE NEWS"! Hilariously, the very first answer from @SunnyinBangrak immediately did that.

Nothing alleged about it, Frank. Trump does this too -- he'll go into meetings without key staff any other President would know he needs. An example, which is NOT alleged as I know a few of the people involved -- when Trump met with Putin in Helsinki, he specifically excluded his own U.S. Ambassador to Russia, Jon Huntsman, who was both a subject matter expert, Trump's personal representative to Moscow, and a Russian speaker. This would be troubling for any President to do, but Trump knows no foreign languages, knows nothing about foreign policy, knows nothing about the world outside of Manhattan real estate, and is brimming with unmerited self-confidence. It's a failure of leadership and ethics on an astonishing level, and undermines his agenda.

That would be preferable to a Florida real estate agent going in to negotiate with Putin on his own.

Do the bare minimum and do your own search. Putting your fingers in your ears and ignoring any information that doesn't conform to your standards is a really bad way to go through life. Yes, this stuff matters. Claiming "IT'S ALL AN MSM CONSPIRACY" when the truth is obvious not only makes you look like the dumbest guy on aseannow, it's exactly what the Biden people did. Karma WILL catch up to both you and your party...

Dude, you're so daft on this, it's incredible. It doesn't matter if something is being signed or not. Your entire understanding of what is happening depends on your adversary is telling you. Is THAT responsible governance? Is THAT smart diplomacy? I get it -- you worship the ground Trump walks on... but it's OK to admit even your hero gets it wrong sometimes.

I keep killing civilians? Wow. Not me, sister.

Judge, jury, and executioner, that's you. Actually, I've seen PLENTY of guys who "turn against the system" with exaggerations, outright lies, or missing information. So, no, I don't buy "then it did happen."

Thanks, but I'll put my reading comprehension against yours any day of the week -- and when everyone except you (and Higgot) understands the opposite of what you claim you meant -- you're the one with the problem. So let's clear it up once and for all -- tell us plainly-- you WEREN'T making a moral equivalence between the two? Here's your chance to show me I'm wrong and if I was I will own it. I already know what you'll do... but surprise me.

It blows like a fart, in this case. Glad you admit your original observation was wrong -- we all saw that.

No, I'm not. I'm objecting to exactly what I said I was objecting to. Nothing more, nothing less.

If true, yes, it's bad.

Depends on what the person himself described as fighting age. Again, could have been 16. Do the Taliban routinely have 16 year olds fighting for them? What if he was 16 and looked younger. Point is, neither of us knows, and neither did he.

I did. And when you yourself create a false moral equivalency with a line like "Certainly they both seem to have been indiscriminate in their murder of innocent civilians." turns out I responded not only correctly but at the right speed (you seem to think I responded too quickly).

You're adding the age. Could have been 8, could have been 16. If it happened as the article says it did, it would be a crime.

The false moral equivalency. But you knew that.

Yes. You use a translator. YOUR OWN TRANSLATOR, not one provided by your opponent. You really are a child, Frank.

30 days isn't long enough to "rearm and retrench", and even if it were, Russia could be doing the same. And a ceasefire is pretty much ALWAYS a prelude to negotiations. Suprised you don't know that... but then, you do support Russia, and you'll only be fed what Russia wants to slurp down.

Guess you're forgetting the ACTUAL formal, written, ratified agreement Russia made with Ukraine to never violate its territorial sovereignty in exchange for Ukraine giving up its nukes. IF ONLY Ukraine still had them, none of Russia's 3 invasions would have occurred... wishful thinking.

The reality is alleged war crimes seldom get prosecuted by anyone. That said, if you actually do care about following the rules of war, you're far more likely to see that with the West, as opposed to the Eastern nations you would seem to support. Edit -- just saw in another thread that you are indeed a Putin supporter. That was easy.

That's a disgusting statement.

Wow, it's crazy, isn't it, that some people do bad things? Keep using the "bored drinking coffee" emoji -- it's so powerful. Wow, NATO killed A MILLION people? That's remarkable. Bad, bad NATO!
