    It will be interesting to see how you will rationalize it when Ukraine is defeated and sues for peace probably within months or a year or so.. I predict then that rather than perhaps rethinking anything, you will follow the mainstream and declare it actually a victory. This will be "victory" despite the greatly diminished rump state of Ukraine, possibly land locked without Odessa, since the Ruskies, as you have believed since childhood, are obsessed with conquering at least all of Europe.

    Why do you have to post something that stupid. You must think you're Nostradamus. Sorry to disappoint you, but you aren't.

    What’s odd to me is that he’s essentially supporting both Putin and his attempt to subjugate and absorb democratic Ukraine, and trump, who’s also supporting Putin, in my opinion. I thought I understood where glynch was coming from, even if we often didn’t agree. This glynch? I don’t understand him at all.

    Sam's his take on issues whatever the mainstream consensat would be Sam's opinion.
    your m
    Deckard, if you could venture outside your info intake bubble you will see that there is a significant part of left leaning peace oriented folks who prioritize peace and freedom over the forever wars supported by the bi-partisan foreign policy consensus.

    As an aside it is interesting to see that this is occurring on the right, which traditionally,unlike the bi-partisan foreign policy elite and their followers has at least initially enthusiastically sent their children to be fodder for the bi-partisan forever wars.

    14 trillion wasted on the Middle East Wars has been a prime motivation behind the frustration leading to Trump and the MAGA movement.

    If you follow the scholarly folks that were essentially part of the Noam Chomsky RT Today group, I actually its pretty easy to see where he is. There's a romanticism of Soviet era philosophical theory of governing along with a deep seeded anti-American sentiment.

    I totally get alot of the anti-American sentiment, but you have to be honest about the good things that America has also done, and hold hope that American Democracy if it achieved the aspirations half of the country wants it to achieve, could be a good... not perfect.... but a really good force for positive change in this world.

    I would hold my opinions on thinking Glynch was an idiot. He just has a worldview that at his age is going to be unlikely to change. I think if you looking up Noam Chomsky's worldview, and see the worldview of what now is FreeSpeechTV, you'll understand where he's coming from.... Even though he's very wrong about what Russia is today, and has a very sad pessimistic view of the West.

    Did Zelensky steal Trump's phone? This is some insane flip flopping.

    After getting to know and understand the Ukraine/Russia Military and Economic situation ...

    Trump did not write this. Let's just wait a bit. The real Trump will post about How Much He Loves Vlady and about how Ukraine was dumb to start a war versus a Big Strong Sexy Man like Vlady.

    • For months, Trump has claimed Zelensky "doesn't have the cards" — arguing that time is not on Ukraine's side and that Russia is winning the war.

    Another masterclass head fake by Trump.

    The war mongering liberals are now forced between two decisions: 1) fall back to being a hypocritical anti-war fanatic or 2) Embrace Trumps genius.

    You can use AI to find the information fairly easily. There are a few nations like India where the people like Russians - but not very many. Really it has only gotten worse since the Ukrainian invasion, even in those few nations where the people have a positive view of Russians.

    Is it fair? Perhaps not, but it is what it is.

    That is for the Ukrainians to decide. When they are ready to stop fighting - it will happen.

    Until then, they can keep fighting expel their invaders.
