Right winger. You can’t help yourself but it makes you wrong. Maybe you have some effete Bill Kristol type friends in your circle you can strong-arm with tough talk but it just puts you in the win/lose at all costs no care for real truth category. See PB. But you made the allegations and statements and then question the rebuttal without proving your claims.Brooklyn wrote: ↑Sun Feb 27, 2022 8:58 pmAre your claims "fact" or truth?Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Sun Feb 27, 2022 7:40 pm
Your framing of positions creates a ton of assumptions you present as fact and are, at best, a semi reasonable interpretation but not fact.
You don’t know nearly enough about Bush to declare “he’s power hungry” at all. I think he was some things and flawed surely but that’s an interpretation I think is way off base. That’s one example. You embed these all over and claim fact and incontrovertible things that are no such thing. Cool your principle is consistent but your interpretations are not facts and the nature of your statements to turn around and complain I attacked you while doing the same thing are PB territory.
To suggest Putin’s claims are equal to others is crazy specious yet again presented as hard truth. Either you’re so literal as to be wildly obtuse or intentionally presenting these things in a manner of heuristic that’s very similar to homeboy down under. I hope you understand the concept of a dynamic model and that variables exist. But you don’t present arguments as if you do.
Bush not power hungry??

Freudian slip, I suppose. Patriot {sic} Act ring a bell? Even conservatives such as Larry Pratt, James Sensenbrenner, and Bob Barr said it was unAmerican. Oh, in case you forgot it was Bush who pushed for it.
'Putin's claims equal to others.' Depends, his views on Donbas are valid as that is a Russian region. If the people vote on a referendum for freedom from Ukraine then it is as valid as Ukraine breaking away from the Russian Federation. And again, if you want to condemn Putin for having soldiers cross the border, then to be consistent you need to do the same with Madrid when it invaded Catalonia. It's just a matter of consistency in the application of principles which is something you right wingers fail to do so often. That's the truth and no amount of tears will change that.
It’s this simple-you aren’t in a guys mind. You are as angry as these true right wingers. And call people names without bothering to listen. And whine and complain and cite the mod when you feel attacked while doing the same. But don’t see the difference. I give you way more credit than some but maybe I shouldn’t.
My claims are either tongue in cheek or my opinion where I hope to find more universal truths like the Native American chief going for his girl on the other side of the lake at night and sees the reflection of the moonlight off the lake from a number of different views.
Or we could say Bush was gay because he saw a good souls in Putin’s eyes…rather than a mistake based on a strong belief/wishful thinking that was wrong and colored by his own historical perspective…
