You did.
There is a fast powerpoint condensation of the lecture here:
Norski = Glutton for punishment.
Is that your thinking when China shows signs of invading Taiwan?
This poetry describes universal truth:
"For Whom the Bell Tolls," from “Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions” written in 1624.
by John Donne
No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind. Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.
He is appealing to a small subset of FR who are already very receptive to him. Them and other conspiracy groups.
You are seeing something.
A glutton for punishment is just a learning curve.
He knows what the talking points among this group are. He is hammering on them in the hopes his support will expand beyond just that group.
The Bell Tolls for you.
Run off and fight for Taiwan if you wish.
It is a promise you are going home.
:^)
Right now Taiwan produces 50% of the worlds microchips that are critical to the functioning of mobile phones, consumer electronics, cars, military equipment and more. Only stupidity would allow China to control that. You run along and try not to get ran over.
What? You blame me for that? Get your head out of your ass.
All of what you say may be true. It, however, does not mean that Putin is not telling the truth in what he says about the West. Do you deny what he said?
Yes. Our gold has been stolen; our currency debased; our treasury looted by our leaders; our production base transported overseas; our borders destroyed; our people weakened with drugs, illegal and legal; our families and morals destroyed; the Creator mocked, and His Son denied.
Under judgement now.
You would allow China to control Taiwan. Who is paying you?
Prayer is all we have.
The USA needs to be self-sufficient.
Trump knows it. The secular world, not so much.
It should explain some of my previous posts.
It isn’t my fight.
Do you want to order the 101st to Taiwan to fight the China Man?
So, any arguments to justify it are invalid.
This is correct.
Regardless of the purely internal characteristics of a sovereign nation, as long as they keep their naughties "in house", any other nation attacking it militarily, especially with the goal of territorial expansion, automatically becomes the "bad guy", and any defensive action, including counter-invasion, is justified.
No, he’s not wrong about corruption in western democracies. But I think he needs to pull the plank out of his own eye before he worries about the sliver in ours.

“Putin came to power by murdering Russians”
Have you considered the American blood on the hands of US presidents? The number of strange deaths with ties to the Clintons. The possibility Franklin Roosevelt allowed Pearl Harbor to happen so he could justify the war he wanted. Roosevelt may have also been involved in the assassination of Huey Long, a political opponent. He also interned thousands of American citizens of Japanese descent.
President Harry Truman used nuclear weapons to destroy two Japanese cities, purposefully targeting the civilian population. The decision may have resulted in a faster end to the war, but was it moral?
Abraham Lincoln and his generals committed atrocities against civilians in the US Civil War that make Ukraine civilian casualties look like a picnic. Sherman’s “March to the Sea” was a purposeful and brutal assault on the civilian population of Georgia, not a military battle between two armies. Ukraine is a former Russian state Putin is trying reunite with mother Russia. Weren’t the Confederate states breakaway states which Lincoln invaded and subjugated, to restore the “union” with horrendous loss of life?
LBJ may have been involved in the assassination of his predecessor and certainly had no qualms about killing over 50,000 US citizens in Vietnam, a country which represented no threat to the US homeland. What was achieved by the blood shed by Americans to benefit to the people of the US?
Consider also the thousands American citizens who die every year at the hands of illegal immigrants due to the open borders policies of several recent U.S. presidents. Isn’t the failure of these presidents to protect the border directly responsible for these deaths?
President McKinley used the explosion of the battleship Maine to get the US in a war with Spain. Was that a false flag operation by McKinley? Andrew Jackson was a bloodthirsty Indian fighter before becoming POTUS. Remember the “Trail of Tears” and the Native Americans who died on a forced March from their homes in the eastern US to Oklahoma at the orders of a U.S. president.
Recall the Middle East wars of Bush father and son which killed and maimed how many thousands of US citizens over three decades? What was the positive outcome for our nation and its citizens? Most recently, what about the botched exit from Afghanistan ordered by Joe Biden to fulfill a campaign pledge? Doesn’t he have the blood of American citizens on his hands? Obama and Hillary’s actions related to Benghazi needlessly spilled the blood of Americans.
Putin may be a murderer but he isn’t alone. If you are arguing in favor of a U.S. policy to force a regime change in Russia due to Putin’s crimes, are you also supporting the US taking action to force regime change in China, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Iran, North Korea and every other nation whose leaders are involved in murder? Please explain why the US should be the police force for the world when we won’t even preserve the integrity of our own border? Even more significant, given our history how can we claim the moral authority to selectively interfere in conflicts between other nations?
