The guy is classic boomer. He has the get off my lawn diatribe down to a tee. 60s old white male who has never left the country and spends his days on his desktop computer from the early 2000s.

Wow, I’ll let Lou handle this one.

This says a lot about how you view those with whom you disagree.

[Xville]

From a historical standpoint, why do you believe India would be pro-Russia?

well, i guess that would matter by what you mean by "history." i was referring to the fact that they have been partners since the cold war, which is a pretty long ass time.

nah not really. Just him.

I don't have a problem with disagreeing with people and debating. I do have a problem with people linking to biased nonsense and passing it off as fact and saying nonsense like "we are the beligerents" with little to no fact to back that up with. Can Lou or someone point me to where the US invaded Ukraine? Maybe I missed that part.

Lou agrees with Putin, a dictator, who is former KGB and believes the propaganda nonsense being spilled out from Russia to their allied news sources...think about that for a moment.

[Xville]

What an idiot. You obviously didn't watch the video, because the video explains Putin's reasons and intentions. No wonder you're so ignorant. You only know what comes from the CNN nipple.

Your turn chickenshit:

What's the end game for America? Why are we there? Are we even winning? How far are you willing to go with this? Are you willing to risk a nuclear exchange? How about American lives? Why can't you pro-war chickenhawks, who will never step foot in Ukraine, answer these questions? Are you heavily invested in armament manufacturers, thus stand to profit from another pointless war?

End Game: getting Russia out of Ukraine.

US is there because Ukraine is an ally...and by "there," its mostly just money.

There won't be a nuclear exchange...you believe Putin too much.

[XU_Lou]

nah not really. Just him.

I do have a problem with people who disagree with me. How can you expect me, a low information millennial, to go out of my way to read any information that isn't spoon fed to me by Don Lemon? More importantly, how am I supposed to defend my opinions when I really don't understand what I'm talking about? How can you expect me to know anything about history? It wasn't taught in school, so obviously it's not that important. Right? Sheesh!!

Fixed that for ya, Ville. This seems more accurate now, right?

Really, that's your answer? This is nothing more than an overly-simplistic regurgitation of Biden talking points. Pretty sad....

Um, you forgot Tesla. :)

True, and great point, but…

From “Clean Technica” 8/25/2021:
“ Also, though, let’s be clear — a $465 million loan made in 2010 paid back after 3 years, 9 years early, did not make Tesla into the gigantic corporation it is today. It was part of the story, an important part of the story, and it may have helped keep Tesla alive at a critical time, but it is certainly not the sole cause of Tesla’s success. It is also probably the most effective $465 million — with the best ROI — the US federal government ever spent to advance climate solutions”. .

PAID BACK IN LESS THAN 4 YEARS!!
And Tesla is personna non grata in this Administration because it’s totally non Union. Lesson, and by saying this I kind of contradict my earlier point, don’t hand out subsidies to just anybody because they are politically favored. Hand them out to proven quality operators. And Ford is a quality operator as is Elon.
Amazing how a guy who is basically the Thomas Edison of our time is so disrespected, and I also submit, feared.

It’s funny. You ask questions, people answer them, and then shockingly if you disagree it’s immediately cnn, democrat or Biden. Shocking.

Yet you can’t answer simple questions posed to you. Hmm weird.

You don’t want to debate, you just want to spread your nonsense because you are an attention seeking whore who doesn’t get paid attention to in real life.

If I learned anything today, I now fully understand why you stonewalled in providing the basis of your opinions. You really don't have a clue at all as to what's really going on. So sad you still haven't learned anything - no matter how many times you've been lied to over the last couple of years. And yet, you still obviously believe everything the MSM/Gov't spoonfeeds you. That is so incredibly sad that a Xavier grad has that much of an inability to think for themselves, despite a slew of demonstrable lies coming from these same people.

Just ask the people in East Palestine if they think the Feds are telling them the truth....

Yes, the Cold War ended when I was 10 or 11.

India is not pro-Soviet however they have bigger concerns than Ukraine.

What exactly makes you think the Indian gov’t is pro-Russian post the fall of the Soviets?
