He probably is. And that’s a good thing. Do you know why? Because now he feels like he’s gained something, even though he really hasn’t (that UN resolution does nothing but verbally condemn him). It’ll make him more open to peace talks (hopefully).
What did Putin feel he gained that he hasn’t already? The old phrase goes something like, there are no friends in politics, only common entrusts. It seems the common entrust right now between Putin and Trump is pillaging Ukraine and fucking over American allies in general.
I am not basing this off of Trump. Literally every Cold War President knew that compromise is key when opening peace talks with a capable enemy. It’s kind of common sense that when you’re dealing with an opponent who is just as powerful (if not, more) as you, you need to make sure that they feel that they’re getting something out of it, too. If we vote to directly condemn Putin, he’s just going to walk away from the negotiating table. I personally would have abstained, but this vote might be what we need to get Putin to finally be rational and become open to peace talks.
It makes more sense if you’re just talking about Ukraine and Russia. America’s military is more powerful than Russia’s military is to Ukraine’s.

To be more nuanced, truth is the rule, lies are the exception.
truth tends to uplift, lies tend to diminish.
I don’t think lies are the exception when it comes to science.
Being informed how to navigate this world is important. Doesn’t mean faith can’t help as well.
We all have faith to one extent or another.

Saying truth does not underpin anyone.

- God, indeed, does whatever He pleases. God does not write though, for He is not a body. Your point?
God willed the book to be written in his words. Didn’t he? Does the Quran matter?
Anyway you said “God is not human & does not possess human emotions or qualities.”
That is an obvious lie.

- God is not human & does not possess human emotions or qualities. God is the necessary absolute being.
Yet he wrote a book for humans to worship him.

Would an all loving God will destruction through his creation? I would argue it’s our will to bear.

An American conservative meme is that if someone they like is being criticised by media, it must mean they’re doing something good.
Also there’s tropes that the media is controlled by jews.

@Greyparrot
Lol, I blocked you years ago for being an unapologetic, rude sonofabitch. I didn't really care that you were a Marxist.I don't mind having a conversation with far-left radical Marxists like DoubleR as long as they are halfway civil about it.Badger gets a pass because he's Irish, so that's just an Irishman being friendly.
Why does WyIted get a pass?
Created:
Greyparrot has blocked me.
Greyparrot, wanting capitalism to be healthy doesn’t make you a radical Marxist. It just makes you a regular Marxist. Radical Marxists are Stalinists which i am not.

@WyIted
Modern leftists aren't really concerned with individual liberty. Obviously. They may pretend to with some pet issues like abortion but generally they are opposed to things like freedom of speech, freedom of association and self governance.The leftists I am referring to are splinter groups from Marxism. Anyone labeling themselves a progressive or anything left of progressive would fit into that category
What do you think of worker cooperatives?

But seriously Trump is probably scared of a ‘Chelsea Manning’ happening under his office. Assuming he knows who she is.

We know Trump had ties to the mob back in the day and now we know he has ties to the deep-state. Do you think we’ll get everything?
And he’s promised to declassify the Epstein documents. For anyone who doesn’t know, Jeffrey Epstein was a sex criminal who flu elites and underage girls to his private island. He got suicided under Trump’s first term as president. Do you think he will deliver on his word?

Instead of academia i should have just put education, to be more general. But they’re both loaded words these days for conservatives.

@Mall
When it comes to uncertainty, the difference between a guess and an educated guess is that a guess isn’t necessarily reliant on experience/academia.
Both can be wrong. But generally one is far more knowledgeable than the other when it comes to nuance.

As a m̶a̶r̶k̶e̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ genius who builds rocket ships with his own hands ( I know this because he cameoed in an Iron Man movie), I think he knows what he is doing. And/or he’s deflecting attention away from outsourcing his game boosters.
