That is an accusation easily leveled at Biden supporters as well. I readily admit Trump's faults and that I would vote for him in a heartbeat if Biden/ Harris were the opponents, but I am aware that it would be better if neither was standing for POTUS. What concerns me are those that apparently think Biden is actually capable of seeing out another 4 years as POTUS.

but apparently you are OK with Biden.

Without a massive pharmaceutical industry, the remaining humans would likely be wiped out by common diseases. We have been busily destroying our ability to survive without chemical assistance, eg measles- we keep those not naturally immune to measles from dying by using vaccines. Without vaccines many will die of it, as seen already in the epidemics among those not vaccinated. In the end, we will likely all die because we kept genetically compromised people alive and allowed them to breed more genetically compromised people.

Don't agree. I believe that Gaia ( Nature/ God ) is going to delete humanity as a threat to the planet and every other species on it. For those that don't believe that Gaia exists, we are more likely to succumb to overpopulation caused wars for water and resources than a nuclear war IMO. Also we are well on the way to ( choose the one that you like the best ) a/ polluting ourselves to death b/ creating incurable diseases by overuse of antibiotics c/ climate change rendering large parts of the world uninhabitable d/ biological warfare e/ killed off by autonomous killing machines ( under development as I write ) f/ a new ice age

Never underestimate the gullibility of the sheeple when looking for ways to make money off them.

Holland has apparently been quite keen to prove how liberal it is in respect to taking illegal immigrants into the country. I think they have an entirely forseable problem entirely self inflicted. IMO Eritreans have very little in common with the Dutch.

It's much nicer posting on here when one doesn't have to see the insults from posters with nothing worthwhile to contribute.

Of course, IMO.

In what possible scenario could israel lose the conflict? They have all the planes, tanks, artillery, navy etc and Hamas has light weapons and RPGs. Any claim that Hamas could "win" the conflict is merely israeli propaganda IMO.

Al Jazeera has shown some of them and they are truly vile. IMO the only way anyone could take pleasure from destroying other people's homes and businesses and humiliating people under their total control is if they are barbarians. The scenes shown were not carried out by civilized people, IMO.

IMO there are no solutions that will make everyone happy. What is clear though, is that if the Palestinians are not given a homeland that israel has zero control over, the situation will continue till either all the israelis or all the Palestinians are removed from Palestine.

It's like some kindy bully getting a bunch of his mates to beat up a kid that refused to take his bullying and hit back.

I agree with the rest of your post but I disagree that Russia will do a first strike. I can't imagine any leader willing to see their own country reduced to ash, except perhaps some nutters in the Middle East and one Asian country near Japan.

Thank you for the unexpected compliment. I'm more used to getting insults on here. It's also good to see so many posters that are not paid up members of the "West good, other side bad" opinion. I was against this war from the very start and suffered much abuse of the infantile sort, being accused of being a Putin supporter etc. I haven't seen much in the way of the "orc" posts recently either. I guess two years for nothing gained isn't very encouraging for the Ukraine propagandists.

Agree with all of that.

Self description IMO.

You assume that Russia is going to advance on Kiev. IMO they will not and will simply dig in where they are till Ukraine negotiates. There is no strategic advantage that I can see in taking Kiev, and it would take massive losses to achieve. Having removed the salient into Russian held territory, and straightened the front line they will be a hard task to remove if Ukraine is considering it. Meanwhile, Russian troops will be cheered that they captured a formidable objective and Ukrainians face the humiliation of losing, not least losing so many of their comrades. Bad for morale, when they are already long past time for a rest and short of equipment and munitions. Unless something amazing happens, IMO this is the beginning of the end of the war, and Ukraine will not retake it, despite it having cost so many Ukrainian lives to keep.

Truly amazing reply. What is the point of blathering on about how the situation came to be if no solutions are forthcoming? I assume you have none then. I used to think you were mildly amusing, despite thinking you knew more than the rest of us, but I have to wonder if you are even worth my time if that is what we can expect from you. Bye.

I see the grammar police has arrived.

LOL. If you think having a stumblin' bumblin' old man that talks to dead people as POTUS is an improvement over Trump, I think that is rather sad.

Nah. He's entertaining, because he attracts so many that have lost their minds to TDS and spend hours on line ranting about him. Reading their posts has provided me with many hours of entertainment.

Something strange happened there. The link on the post I quoted changed when I quoted it. It as something about victimhood and then it changed to the Eagles pop group.

Whether I am a victim or not is irrelevant to what I was saying.

Depends on what "salvation" may be. I have no idea of what it may be on a spiritual level.

There is no moral of the story. People are, and some attempt to understand why they are, and most don't. Humans stand on the edge of extinction likely caused by themselves. After we are gone, another species will rise to prominence and all that we are will be as nothing. Perhaps like the walls in Sth America some trace will remain that the next dominant species will wonder about, or perhaps not. What will history say about us? Will we be a barbaric species that gloried in killing each other, or a species that strove for the stars and fell short. IMO the jury is out on that.
