Nerve agent used in UK - attempted murder of Russian spy

Post Reply New Topic

Nationalism is regressive. I prefer Stephen Hawkings vision of humans eventually leaving this planet, nothing like extraterrestrial colonisation to cure us of this stupid mental problem and stop playing games where we draw stupid lines in the sand like children in a playground that we don't cross.



Trump is very close to impeachment. Watching his twitter feed is like watching a reality TV show

Admittedly, I may have gotten you a bit confused with Lintar. You two come across as practically the same person.

Have you any idea how much evil has been done in the name of globalisation? It's not ideologies that are the problem, it is humans! Too many naive idiots who just follow what their governments say. I'm a nationalist and I'm against all wars. Stealing resources from other people and ending up creating wars is part of globalisation. Having to control other parts of the world and starting wars there is part of globalisation. I see nationalism as concentrating on what happens in my country and respecting every other nation to do the same.

"Stupid mental problem". Yeah, taking of Soviets. They used to put people in mental hospitals if you disagreed with their ideology. It's completely natural to have borders, especially when there are oceans separating you. Weird though, that you fiercely support the most right wing government in the world.

Yeah, people have been saying that for 17 months or so now. Getting boring. Stop watching CNN.

It's called practicing what you preach. If Andres Breivik said that O.J Simpson was a bad guy for killing people, what would you say?

Hey, I am NOT "John Powell". HE seems to believe that Putin is, in spite of his rather nasty habit of murdering spies and journalists who know too much, good for Russia. I do not, and I have told him so.

As for whether or not this latest incident in England was ordered by "the Kremlin", the evidence thus far gathered suggests it was. I am not blind to what is wrong with Russia and the world today, and if all indicators point to this heinous act having been ordered by Vlad Putin, then that will be yet one more reason to treat that scumbag like Hitler 2.0.

I would agree with Breivik. If something is objectively true, it doesn't matter who proclaims it, or why. If Hitler (or Hillary, or Donald, or Vlad) said the Earth isn't flat, I would also agree, because it isn't flat.

He's not even close to it. Unless, of course, you know much more than most people about this, which is highly unlikely. We've been hearing "he's close to impeachment" since the very first day he became the President. Give it up already, this is nothing but wishful thinking.

Yes, it most definitely is regressive. And idiotic, arbitrary, and something that by now we should have long ago given up (like human sacrifice, slavery, and all forms of fundamentalism).

I often come out in support of Russia here not because I am Russian (or a "Russian troll/bot"), but because, among many other things, I realise the danger that pushing a nation like Russia into a corner by encircling it with hostile military bases can lead to. It could seriously backfire, it could directly lead to war.

People who believe that "Russia needs to be contained" simply have NO idea, they do not understand Russian history, or anything at all about the country. Attempts to "contain" Germany lead directly to the two World Wars, and are we really so hungry for World War No. 3? The direct Russian intervention in the Ukraine (which Putin STILL denies!) was primarily motivated by a need to prevent that country from joining N.A.T.O., which, from a U.S. perspective, would be like Canada joining the Warsaw Pact or some other potentially hostile military alliance. Do at least TRY to see things from their perspective for a change, before mouthing off about how "dangerous Russia is"! Putin may be a crooked, murdering kleptocrat, but he isn't stupid. He's not the one bombing defenseless civilians in remote parts of the world using drones (Bush started that, and Obama enthusiastically embraced the idea). When it comes to murder, mayhem and attempts to impose its will, the U.S. is most certainly number one, but Russia is perhaps a distant third (after China).

Edit: I'm not singling you specifically out here regarding this, just pointing out what should not need to be emphasised because it should be rather obvious to anyone who is at all connected to the world outside their bedroom. If anything, I have Kraich... whatever, who apparently believes all he is told on C.N.N. "Russia this, Russia that" - we're not falling for the lies anymore, because we know this is nothing but warmongering propaganda, and that is why they (the MSM) are becoming evermore shrill and hysterical in their pronouncements.

I don't think he's good for Russia. It's just that his enemies are even worse.

Well given that there isn't any evidence, that's a pretty bold statement. How was Skirpal attacked? Do you even know?

Right, another Hitler. Every enemy of the 'West' is the new Hitler and if a leader isn't aggressive with them they are Neville Chamberlain. Horrific and embarrassing propaganda.

Even if Breivik didn't go to prison for his mass murders and there he was lecturing us about Simpson? That's not the point. The US goes around the world destroying the world and killing millions and removing leaders cause they say they are bad guys.

But that wasn't even my original point. I was showing how many times these situations have happened where lies or "false flag attacks" have been carried out to create conflict.

Yeah, good post.

Point 1: Good, we both agree that he isn't good for Russia.
Point 2: No evidence? Well, we have two people in hospital at death's door, they both have direct connections to Russia, and the substance used to hospitalise them (Novichok, which I believe is a nerve agent like VX) could only have come from a government lab.
Point 3: Yes, you're right, we shouldn't compare Putin to Hitler. Hitler didn't have nuclear weapons.

I was being a tad bit facetious.

historically, nationalists have been the first to jump at going to war.
