Ukraine Protests

[Velo Vol]

Both parties have contributed to the decline of American power.

Isn't it inevitable?

Can we get over this reductive liberals are "this" and conservatives are "that" nonsense? The terms "liberal" and "conservative" include quite divergent ideologies even among themselves.

Very true , but there's a faction that wants to keep Americans divided to further an agenda. We can't ignore it.
IMO, any government should protect the weak from the strong (exploitation).

 

[Grand Vol]

Yes, there's the distinction. Soundbites intended for public consumption versus the actual dialog that goes on behind the scenes.

I was actually thinking along the lines of the exchange between Stevenson and Zorin during the Cuban missile crisis. Put it in your face without being nice and watch your opponent melt.

 

[Velo Vol]

We may have but I'm not sure he has and pretending he has or that he should see things the way we do doesn't do any good in dealing with the situation.

News flash - not everyone shares the same world view or same motivations. Expecting your opponents to think just like you is a good way to be surprised by your opponent.

See post #1675.

It's a rhetoric that sounds good on TV. I wouldn't make any more out of it.

 

[orangeluvr]

Both parties are crap. The majority of people in D.C. are crap.

What happened to a greater and larger cause that meant the dissolution of personal or self serving urges, wants, and desires?

There is a real problem and it starts with anyone who is a politician in title. Especially life long politicians and those that become wealthy for being one. There is something so very wrong with this picture, yet, it continues because we allow it.

:clapping: :clapping: IMO the best post in this thread ! :thumbsup:

If by "faction" you mean "politicians", then you're right.

There is a difference between being a hippy and being a libertarian bruh

Better than a Mom's basement I suppose.

Apparently we have ships and/or aircraft near the Baltic States now? Can anyone confirm? CNN just briefly mentioned it but didn't elaborate.

There is always a normal rotation of fighters in the Baltics, part of the agreement when they joined NATO since they didn't have a fighter force of their own. The others brings the total to 10 plus refueling assets.

You missed your opportunity. You could have just told him that it's "classified" and on a "need to know" basis

If that was the case, CNN would have broke the story six weeks ago lol

Unfortunately yes. I've reported him to the super duper power to be's.

Do worry if he's mia for a few days. His legs should heal fine.

Fortunately for me, water boarding doesn't affect the legs so I should be okay. Just make sure you send care packages to the following:

Camp Delta, FPO AE

Actually I do believe we increased our number of fighters there at their request.
