Dictator Putin can count his last Days

No - atheist here.

Figure of speech.

Krakozhia. Or Sokovia.

LOL. Easy on drugs, dude

I don't care about it except in the eyes of what is just and safe for the world.
This war will never come out positive in some way. I'm not surprised you are
clueless enough to reject that.

I agree.

Of course, a weak man, in desperation, could be dangerous.


Are you confident that if things fall apart in Russia, that hte nukes will not be used?

> The will of the people is an illusion - it always was - in every democratic nation.

I would not disagree with that. I think we should be thinking of ways to make the country more "representative" whether democracy or a republic.

Trump showcases the problem with democracy just as well.

Also moments like in CA where some years ago one of our state representatives put up a bill for Universal Health care, and even the ones who supported it and those with gave positive lip service to it voted not to bring it up for a ratifying vote because all of our political donor class threatened them if they did they'd never get another penny from them for any of their campaigns.

So the billionaires get richer, stronger, more vicious and the people get screwed. That is what Ukraine is about, the unification of the worlds activist billionaire class.

This article paints a vivid picture of what is happening in our so-called Enlightenment Democratic West ...

Trump talks about fixing infrastructure but did nothing but give these plutocrats more money and control of the country. Biden has talked a good game and at least done something, as and a lame duck who is not beholden to the plutocracy for re-election, Biden is the only US President since FDR with the guts enough to actually talk about raising taxes on the rich.

The abundance of the Post-WWII era and the growth of the middle class in the US was due to taxing absolute dictatorial power away from the American carpetbagging Nazis. We just did not tax them enough so they fell out of existence.

Russian since the 16th century. Like 80-90% ethnic Russians.
If you start seeing me not replying to your moronic replies it will be because I am sick of your disinfo and deliberate mischaracterization. You're just another in a long line of trolls here on MC.

We have no money. $22T in debt and the rest of the world despises us. We can’t afford to defend our own borders. We are cutting our own military. We have millions living in the street. I am sympathetic to Ukraine and the country's suffering. But America is bankrupt not doing what it needs to do for Americans.

Yeah. So the Ukrainians are resorting to terrorism now.
