My water is supplied by the Milwaukee Water Works. I drink at least two glasses an hour of the stuff every day. It never crossed my mind that my worldview may be informed by the contaminants that the city government is putting into the water I drink. If your speculation is correct, I am...
I don't support intervening militarily in either conflict. Ukraine had a peace agreement on the table a few years ago and America/Britain intervened. Tens of thousands of Ukraine's best young men are now dead because of that. Most people now agree that Ukraine will get a negotiated treaty...
It does not matter. Israel is almost certain to get what it wanted, American soldiers in the Middle East. Biden has already promised a response. If America ends up in a shooting war with Iran, it will be disaster for everybody. Israel is like the nerdy kid in high school who can do anything...
Agree with you at least partially. The only President in my lifetime that I don't consider corrupt was Carter. The problem with Democracy is that sociopathic narcissists out for their own power and wealth seem to reliably rise to the top. Carter appears to be the exception that proves the...
Two of the most corrupt governments in the world are Russia and Ukraine. Few people dispute that. One does not have to be a fan of Putin to want a negotiated treaty. One does not have to be fan of Putin to recognize the existential threat to America his nuclear arsenal represents.

It could also end in a negotiated treaty where Ukraine is left with a rump state. From my perspective, the worst possible outcome would be Western boots on the ground. That action could easily result in nuclear weapon exchanges and possibly a civilization ending nuclear holocaust.
Do you ever wonder why you post on an forums like this? Do you think you could quit doing it? I believe people like you and me are the broken ones. We discuss politics with strangers, pretend that it matters and wish we could break our addiction to this damn thing (at least I do). The people...
More than that happened. We replaced a Pro-Russian Ukrainian regime with a Pro-American regime that year. Here is a clip of Senator Chris Murphy talking about it on C-SPAN back in 2014:
Here Senator Murphy said we did it for American profit...
Fighting a 3rd world country is a little bit different than fighting a European country armed to the teeth with American weapons. The death count for the Ukranian conflict could be 7.88 billion if Putin decides he has nothing to lose. I am not sure painting the country with the largest nuclear...
Just to be clear, America spent two decades and more than a trillion dollars building a government and Afghan military that fell in two days to this:

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff declares he doesn't understand why (he should have been fired for...
This one kind of shocked me. It looks like youtube will be cable news in a few years. There are still channels that I really love left on there but the number shrinks every year...
Because when billionaires lose billions (as is the case in this instance), the taxpayers will be asked to bail them out. I would not be surprised to see the next stimulus package include a few billion for the hedge funds that were affected by this. I also would not be surprised to see a few...
I would say it is when corporations own the means of communication and begin silencing the voices of opposition. The boiling of the frog on right wing voices has expanded quite dramatically to left wing voices. The overton window is shrinking down to only what conforms to the narrative of the...
I have two predictions.
1. I predict Biden will win.
2. If prediction 1 is correct, I predict America will invade Syria and kill Assad in the next four years.
I am going to try and remember this post so I give an I told you so if I am right. If I am wrong, I will pretend this post never...
