Off-Topic / Terms of Russian Surrender [116]


A naive hope that once they see these things written in print they would recognize how fantastically absurd these notions are.

There is also:

1) Armenia
2) Kazakhstan
3) Mongolia
4) Kyrgyzstan
5) Azerbaijan
6) Tajikistan
7) Uzbekistan
8) China
9) Iran
10) South Africa
11) India
12) North Korea
13) Egypt

... and so on, and so forth. It's surprising how many countries hate the West's guts.

Where is the allowance for nuance when discussing Russia?

Off-Topic / Five or more years of Erdogan! [32]

Russians are cautiously excited.

1) It means our sanctions loophole will likely stay open for the time being.

2) We hope he will continue to delay Swedish accession to NATO, or at least bargain something out for it which will effectively dent Western unity. Perhaps Russian intelligence should prod some nationalistic Swedes into burning another Koran, to help events along.

3) It seems Erdogan once again feels that the West attempted to prevent his re-election. On top of their previous support for the coup against him, and the support offered for the Syrian PKK - this may finally convince Erdogan that the West are not his friends.

4) Erdogan is currently weak. His economy is a shambles (worse than ours, despite absence of sanctions). As mentioned above - he feels alienated. A perfect time to swoop in and cement Russian influence in this important region.

P.S. - Erdogan is in the end a sneaky Turk, and he may very well wrap all of us around his finger for his own little games - so it may be foolish trying to control him.

News / Chechen Congress in Poland, Russia frowns [90]


Huh? Are you talking about the incident where a crazed Chechen warlord captured a school on Sept. 1st - the first day of school - and then killed 200 kids, plus one hundred adults?

I ask because the way you are talking about it makes me think you either are referring to another event, or have suddenly decided you want to abandon the good side of the human race.

Haha - the Ghurkas are savages, just like the Chechens!

I mean this in the best possible way

Many have tried, few have succeeded.

The price Putin pays to ensure Ramzan's loyalty, is considered by some to be more than we can afford.

He will remain Putin's dog of war, while Putin is in place. For one reason, or another, he is terrified of Putin. Who can manage him or talk to him after the "Big Man" is gone, is a big question.

A bit more than a million.

One Chechen is worth ten Afghans, and twenty Tunisians. They are given leadership roles wherever they go, and the other mujahideen treat them as nothing less than Gods walking the Earth.

You Brits have the Gurkhas, and we have the Chechens.

They're made of different material.

I did not realize you were Welsh. It seemed always that you were a Northerner, from the coal country.

Everyone writing about Chechnya has not the slightest clue what they are arguing.

If you want a Chechnya free of the Russian yoke, prepare yourself for an enemy that will make the Taliban and ISIS seem like kindergarten - and much closer to Europe.

We are actually doing quite well with the Chechens, probably the best relationship we've had in 170 years.

Yes, and Wales too. But not before Texas becomes free once again.

Hmm... yes... I don't understand much about that.

Fact remains - the prisons, navy, and army are full of voluntary and involuntary homosexuals. Curious fact.

@jon357

What is it about putting a lot of men in the same space that makes them want to penetrate each other?

One smart man once said, "if you have a soft heart, you should have a durable anus."

In my experience, the guys that went to all-boys schools would do a lot of gay sh!t - that the rest of co-ed people thought was very strange.

In the navy it's the same, it seems.

Barney is generally a smart fella.

News / Russian criticism of Poland - Soviet war memorial removal [332]


I'm curious how do Poles understand why Russia is so strangely powerful? By all indications the place is a dump, its people slaves, and the entirety of its history indicates that this situation will persist. How can it continually become a threat to others, when it is such a shambles?

How does an emaciated USSR "carve up" Europe with Germany (also, massively weakened)?

Do you think it's simply a factor of population size? Geography?

Thank you for opening my eyes to the satanic subtext inherent in the donut - I will avoid eating them from now on.


Fantastic! You are doing a great job explaining the cosmology of faggotry.

Come on. You gotta leave some crumbs out for the kids that want to go into public service.

Was Lincoln happy with his reward of a bullet to the head, for making his way to the "trough" of government?

Was FDR a lottery winner when he was steering America through the Great Depression and the World War?

Hamilton, JFK, Carter - US history is full of idealists that paid a high price.

Be quiet, Lyzko, if you know what's good for you.


I'm realizing you said something very smart, which I wasn't able to fully appreciate/absorb at first reconnaissance. I need to think about what you wrote before I can say anything further.

Mmmmm... Can it?

Your caveat seems unfair. How can one expect rule of law in tact and spirit, when everybody engaged in the exercise is an idiot?

I don't need a long lecture, just a set of examples.

Life / Poles - the Nation of Liars? [478]


In America, Democrats accuse Republicans of lying at the same rate that they breathe.

In Russia, the opposition accuses Putin and the security apparatus of lying at the same rate that they breathe.

In Poland, PO-supporters see in PiS the devil incarnate.

Democracy is a stupid system, but perhaps not more stupid than other systems.
