can we get an upload that isn't a potato level resolution?

Why they did not mention Budapest memorandum?

The Dutch constitute a Pacific ally to the United States? Is this the point at which Rothman jumped the shark? Happy to hear alternatives.

[@Nill757]

“Just do it” Rothman in total denial, stuck in US 1995 or so. This complete denial of US limitations could be the end of us.

[@scenesscout]

It’s not even just that, it’s the fact that it’s a libby project that’s all about women and libs trying to prove they can be tough and establish the kind if control the so called peace movement was really all about. They want to suppress and disenfranchise the contingent that actually won ww2.

[@marchess286]

Thank you. Rothman had some good points, but Anton convinced me.

[@Nill757]

Good points? Name one.

Hold on...Rob Koons, the Thomistic philsopher, has asked a question at an event on security issues and geopolitics? It's like all my Christmases have come at once!

[@scottbuchanan9426]

Laos and Cambodia fell to Communism, in part, because of the chaos unleashed by the Vietnam War -- the very action touted as halting the fall of further "dominoes". Rothman's logic is completely awry at this point.

[@dairebulson7122]

He got the cause and effect wrong

[@scottbuchanan9426]

@@dairebulson7122 Indeed. It's the complete reverse.

[@eriknervik9003]

The reason they fell is because the Republic of Vietnam was falling. If the communists had won in 1959 or 1960 then those countries would’ve fallen to communism earlier.

The US finds Russian bullying reprehensible...ha ha ha

[@Wolfsheim23]

There is no reason for us to be enemies with Russia. What is the general problem with that?

[@andrekeefer2034]

Ukraine should only be a tertiary concern for the US.

[@joshuapaul2022]

Russian objective is to force erratic Zelenskyy (the Economist described Zelenskyy literally screaming at his generals nowadays) to shuffle his remaining reserves (most of them exist only on paper at this point) to try to plug numerous holes. These senseless Zelenskyy actions will only increase the number of holes and precipitate Zelenskyy regime demise. In his interview to Reuters Zelenskyy (he is such a big mouth) basically said that unless NATO would immediately start fighting Russia in Ukraine with NATO troops on the ground and in the air Zelenskyy regime would go down. It reeked of desperation.

Your suggestions?

@@juliejoy4887 At this point unconditional surrender is the only practical solution for Ukraine. Hitler's Germany also refused to admit defeat until Hitler killed himself, then Keitel signed unconditional surrender.

[@joshuapaul2022]

​@@juliejoy4887 Wrong. Small countries will definitely learn their lesson after Ukraine. If you are a neighbor of a superpower (Mexica or Ukraine, for example) you'd better not play with matches.

Anton is so clueless on this war.
