again, tho, if you invoke the Enlightenment ?

that is what the Ukrainians are fighting for

the spoiled brats in the West tear their own Enlightenment down

while the Ukrainians are fighting to the last man; to try to escape from the East to join the West

If you think it is to join the west, you haven't been listening. They want to be left the fuck alone.

I’m not well.

I’m crazy so my opinion doesn’t mean anything.

The irony is so strong I’m busting a gut.

well I remain a free speech absolutist, so I would defend your 1A rights therein

but same goes for Nazis, being a Nazi is constitutionally protected in America too

furthermore, I don't do Identity Politics

I grew up in a world before Social Media and Identity Politics

I'm always enraging one Identity Politics mob or the other, because I refuse to submit to mob rule

I take each case on the merits

I do not adopt the position of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"; that's a fool's errand

in terms of American conservatives

I'm feeling Sean Hannity right now

Hannity was with the Canadian truckers against Justin Trudeau's Chicom Bolshevism

Hannity is with the Ukrainians against Vladimir Putin's Soviet Bolshevism

and Hannity is castigating the Democrats for being so weak as to incite the brink of World War Three

that's pretty much where I am at too

reports are that two RCAF C-130J's just flew into Ukraine last night

dropped off 4,500 x M72 LAW, 7,500 x M67 hand grenades, plus ammo, body armor & rations

Canada is apparently flying right into the battlespace in an air bridge

so, this is a case where Justin Trudeau and I can agree on something

you hold Ukraine to an impossible standard

it's an obvious fallacy, there is no corruption in Ukraine that doesn't exist in every country
Hey there is no corruption in the good ole US of A…..our elections are secur………. :lol: :lol: :lol:
but even in an historical context

the War of Independence was not fought by angels, and it was a dirty war, a desperate struggle
Oh for sure. War is hell on earth. Way more demons than angels for sure.
There is a time for good men to do bad things.

For fuck sake, 1984 is NOT an instruction manual!

Ukraine's Eurovision Song Contest entry Stefania by Kalush Orchestra has become an anthem for the troops.

If they don't win in May I will be very surprised. They will get a lot of sympathy votes.



They might not be able to perform, since they are now (allegedly) heading for the front.

Their entry last year, SHUM by Go_A was better. Finished 5th.
