  1. It "devolves" into a partisan brawl? That was the entire POINT of the thing!

  2.  @capoman1  Russia does not get to decide whether Ukraine joins NATO or not. Them being unhappy with Ukraine does not justify war.

  3. That's a terrible analogy. Russia was trying to move nuclear weapons into Cuba. They already had a military alliance with Cuba both before and after the Cuban missile crisis. At no point were there discussions to give Ukraine their nukes back.

  4. Ok, so that should be the deal then. Russia pulls out of Ukraine completely, and once Ukraine is formally entered into NATO, Zelensky steps down. I think both Ukraine and Trump/Putin can get behind that.

  5. Can they keep her? Justice for Cricket.

  6. Don't you mean Jim Jordan? Strauss really wrecked him back in his college coaching days.

  7. They already have NATO at their borders, that ship has sailed.

  8. @ Who cares what Russia's perspective is on this? Them feeling big sad is no excuse to invade.

  9. @ What are you talking about? Russia has a land border with at least five other western countries.

  10. Yup, because that's the truth. And the people asking the questions know that, but they also know that their followers are dumb enough not to.

  11. @ He's the current President of the US, and the source of too many problems to count at the moment. Why would anyone rational ignore that?

  12. Yup, Trump screwed himself out of that deal.

  13. Yes, he wants security for his people, which Putin has proved he can never have outside of NATO.

  14. @ Russia does not get to invade people just because they felt "poked." This is entirely on Russia.

  15. It was better than the Trump administration, at least.

  16. You need to stop reading Putin's notes.

  17.  @JustinRawley  Only when Trump is appointing their heads.

  18. That's ok, we'll let them in anyway.

  19.  @Youtubeisafascistcompany  There are lubricants that aren't based on fossil fuels, but you don't need to eliminate fossil products in uses like plastics or lubricants, you just need to stop burning it as a fuel source.

  20. Russia does not get to decide what other countries do. The war is because of their lack of self control, not because of anything Ukraine did.

  21. @ I help in the ways that are most productive for me to help. They don't need my boots.

  22. @ Maybe under Trump, but not under a responsible president.

  23. @ If you knew anything about the Cuban Missile Crisis, you would know the very many ways in which it is not "the same exact thing."
    2
  24.  @NiccaGeorge  There was no discussion about moving nuclear weapons into Ukraine, nor any need for that. NATO does not just hand out free nukes as a welcoming gift, most NATO countries do not have any.

  25. @ NATO never signed an agreement that they would not expand though.

  26. ​@ You didn't ask me any question relevant to the topic, because you conceded the point. I'm not entertaining ad hominems, which you should have learned about in. . . wherever it is you go to school.

  27. By calling innocent election workers grifters. Do you want in on that too?

  28. @ He's right though.

  29.  @jeremiasrobinson  Yeah, he might try, I just don't know what he could actually achieve. I think the funniest potential scenario would be, a judge orders that Rudy pay up, Rudy refuses, the judge holds him in contempt, which I think would be a criminal matter, and then Trump pardons the contempt. But then the judge could do it again, because every second he continues to not pay is a fresh crime, so then Trump would have to pardon him again, so then there would be this constant back and forth where the judge is holding him in contempt every day and Trump has to personally sign a pardon for it, until he gets bored and lets Rudy rot.

  30. @ They've gotten even more support from Europe, and will continue to do so. They can survive without US support, and I wish them god speed.
    2
  31. @ What does Trump's approval rating in Ukraine have to do with anything? Zelynsky's is over 50%.
    2
  32. Currently, if the US pulled out of NATO, the remaining NATO forces would be around twice as many as the US military.
    2
  33. Yup, and that's what got Rudy in trouble, politically persecuting innocent Americans.
    2
  34. "First after Russia" he meant.
    2
  35. @ None of that would force Russia to use a nuke. If Russia used a nuke, that would be them making their own bad choices, nobody would be "forcing" that. Russia does not get to decide what Ukraine, or any other country, does.

  36. You forgot to sign the quote, -Donald J Trump.

  37. @ There's still no evidence of Joey participating in any criminal activity. Sorry.

  38.  @DB8ed  More research will always be handy, but it is possible to generate 100% of our energy needs using green energy right now using existing tech. Is it practical? No, that would require trillions in global investment, but it is possible. At the very least though, we should be taking the practical steps in that direction as quickly as possible.

  39. He has a chance of causing real harm now.

  40.  @dobsr1184  Trump began his political career with birtherism.

  41. You can oppose the system you're in while remaining inside that system. The point is that you would like that entire system to change.

  42.  @JustinRawley  The FDA is not under the thumb of phrama, they just don't have many options available other than to approve or not approve various drugs. Ideally we would nationalize the phrama industry, but that would take an act of Congress, not anything that regulatory agencies could do about it.

  43. Still better than people who take firearms as a leisure activity though, right?

  44.  @BFusey  He's right though, the US did not invade Cuba, they just blockaded them for a week or so.

  45.  @stealth2951  Except that NATO never signed any agreement to not expand, so. . . Just remember, ALL the deaths in this conflict are entire the fault of Russia. That's really all you need to keep in mind here.

  46. @ You claimed that NATO signed an agreement with Russia to not expand. No such thing exists.
    1
  47. @ Nothing in the 1990 agreement claims that NATO will not expand, and even if it had, he wasn't authorized to speak on behalf of NATO.

  48. @ And European countries have been invaded by Russia over that period more than twice, what's your point? It's also worth noting that both of the invasions of Russia happened over 80 years ago, while Russia's invasions of their neighbors are much more recent.

  49.  @capoman1  So your argument is, if someone wants something from you, and you do not agree to give it to them, they are justified in assaulting you?

  50.  @SeiyaSoiya-un4jj  Too bad. Russia declaring a "bright red line" does not give them the right to invade anyone. If I declared a "bright red line" that my neighbor isn't allowed to have lawn flamingos, that doesn't mean that if they put in lawn flamingos I'm allowed to annex their pool.
