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.

Interesting, you never seem to mind some on here posting links to TPM and/or Politifact. Only Lou’s post seem to bother you. Whether you have the self awareness or not, you are heavily biased.

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....

Still can’t answer simple questions. Sad.

Sad that a Xavier grad will believe everything that comes from a dictator and is so far down the far right rabbit hole that he doesn’t even recognize it. A dictator btw who has lied consistently time and time again, but yet you believe. Yikes.

Sad that a person constantly says stupid shit like “think for themselves” when you don’t.

The only one that pretty much does that is Paul. I’ve disagreed with Paul on numerous occasions.

yes I am biased against far right nut jobs like lou who post dumb shit like “we are the belligerents” and very obviously knows zero about Soviet Union history, Putin and why he would invade ukraine.

[Xville]

Last try lying lou:

1.) who invaded ukraine?
2.) why did they invade ukraine?
3.) what’s the end game for that invader?
4.) why do you think the us is involved?
5.) why do you love Russia and Putin but hate your own country?

Yes, from TPM since the Post may be behind a paywall for many.

You are coming across as a far Left nut job.

I agree with Lou on staying the f out of Eastern Europe. Not our fight.

I’ll say it again. Putin needs and will get the Black Sea. Odessa is what he is after. War is awful and after the last 20 years I’m not willing to waste blood and treasure on it. America can’t fix everything. That’s Bush/Cheney era stuff.

But so help me God if Putin goes after Ireland. :)


Edit: 30 years of conflict in the Gulf erupted because some Dick invaded Kuwait. A country most Americans had never heard of before. It actually has its roots in the early to mid 20th C.

Seriously Paul. I mean really…

Did TPN happen to have a report on inflation? What happened to all those classified docs at old Joe’s place? How about gas is going to get stupidly expensive this Summer?

See Ville, Paul is a Boomer. Lou is not. My parents are older but they are not “Boomers”.

I wonder if the pro-war / Covid lockdown sheople like Ville and Paul are ever going to accept any responsibility for the millions of people that are going to die because of food shortages that are the direct result of the absolutely lunatic decisions that they supported - like shutting down entire populations due to a virus that was never going to be controlled, and provoking a wholly preventable war.

Yea, the idiotic decisions you support are resulting in major worldwide consequences, because of your unfounded fears and belief in lies:


"Globally, poverty and food insecurity are both on the rise after decades of development gains. Supply chain disruptions, climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, financial tightening through rising interest rates and the war in Ukraine have caused an unprecedented shock to the global food system, with the most vulnerable hit the hardest. Food inflation remains high in the world, with dozens of countries experiencing double digit inflation. According to WFP, 349 million people across 79 countries are acutely food insecure. "

https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/st...ecurity-crisis


"Yet the world is still in the grips of the worst food crisis in modern history, as Russia’s war in Ukraine shakes global agricultural systems already grappling with the effects of extreme weather and the pandemic. Market conditions may have improved in recent months, but experts do not expect imminent relief.

That means more pain for vulnerable communities already struggling with hunger. It also boosts the risk of starvation and famine in countries such as Somalia, which is contending with what the United Nations describes as a “catastrophic” food emergency."

All of this is probable however the tone of your first paragraph is what brings ire. It led me to not read the rest in depth.

Edit: And no. No responsibility will be taken. Sooooo, don’t bring problems. Bring solutions.

Cut the spending. Now.
No YoY increases. Period. THE FREE MONEY PERIOD IS OVER.

1. Never supported lockdowns

2. Lou, you’re a fraud who can’t answer simple questions. It’s so sad how much of a liar you are, and you constantly talk about wanting to debate, but when confronted back down. Sad.

3. Tell your boy Putin to get the f out of ukraine, so one reason for the food shortage can start to normalize
