A moron, traitor or both.
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2720514]What does "I do not believe" mean percentage wise? 10%? 20%? If it is anything other than a zero or a hair above that, you are out of your effing mind.[/QUOTE]Poor Elvis! Do you really believe that we have ever EVER had a zero percent chance of a nuclear war breaking out since July 1945? Please try not to go into the full panic mode, but since the genie got out of the bottle, there hasn't been a single week, day or hour when the chance of a nuclear war was exactly zero.
Now let me explain something to you step by step, just promise not to cry, OK?
The only thing that makes our peaceful lives possible is the MAD doctrine (look it up, I'm not Wiki).
This doctrine has been accepted by all nuclear actors in the world, no matter how bad they were: even Stalin and Mao bad.
Now we have Putin who decides that MAD isn't relevant anymore. That the world can be threatened into submission when he or his agitators are flexing a nuclear muscle. That he can simply bluff his way into making the world do his bidding.
Well, we have nothing without MAD. If MAD doesn't exist anymore, nothing will stop China, India, Pakistan, or North Korea (or Russia again) to get into the game too. And other nations will quadruple their efforts to get such a wonderful ultimate bluffing machine.
All of us who spent their childhoods in a non-white-collar environments know what happens when you capitulate to a bully.
He never stops.
Give him your lunch money, and he'll come for more.
Give Donbass to Putin, and he'll come for the rest of Ukraine.
Give him Ukraine, and he'll come for the Baltic states.
Give him the Baltics, and he'll come for Poland, Czechia and the rest of Eastern Europe.
At some point, you'll have to stop and fight anyway, but we'll be fighting an emboldened and better prepared enemy.
Right now, Ukraine is fighting for us. It's willing to pay with their own blood and it's a huge bargain for us in America and Europe to pay for this fight in money and weaponry rather than our own blood. We must give them everything they need.
And whoever doesn't get a simple fact that Putin must be stopped NOW is either a moron, a traitor, or both.
Liar? That's rich coming from Elvis
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2720513]When somebody does what Golfinho just did with you, a kill shot, the best move is to not post and come back and spread your bullshit with a different name. You were caught lying. The best move you could have made was say, "Oh, I got the timing wrong. My bad. " Instead, you just dug yourself in deeper by following up your first lie with a second one.
Now do the predictable and attack me. Just stop it. Come back to the discussion with another name. Mercy Seat now means liar.[/QUOTE]Nope. Here is what means liar.
Condoms don't work for STDs. That's a work of a liar.
Condoms don't work for STDs and here is a fresh article that confirms that condoms don't work for STDs -- while that article is 20-year old and confirms nothing. That's a sign of a liar.
You lie consistently and with gusto trying to overwhelm your opponents with your long-winded, mad, crackpot posts accompanied by articles that are either as crackpot as you are or have nothing to do with the issue at hand. That's a stamp of a liar.
"Putin in the 90's" is not a lie, it's an honest mistake that doesn't negate anything else Mercy Seat said.
But clinging to every typo, misspell and innocent error of your opponent is exactly what liars do. What you do, Elvis.
