The history of Western man is the history of war, and no war looms larger in the West than the Peloponnesian War. Fought in the fifth-century BC between the Delian League, led by Athens, and the Peloponnesian League, led by Sparta, the war has come to define the two natures of the West. One side is the austere, efficient men of war and the other is the creative men of culture and philosophy.

This another example of how uneducated this person is. Who in the world is claiming Russia is known for their martial ability? Quite the opposite. Anyone, with even a minimal knowledge of history knows Russia is famous for it's martial ineptitude. Russia's main martial innovation was relying on their climate.
Sorry, I just get sick of arguing with the warmongers here (who are in bed with Obama, Biden, Hillary, Xi Jinping and country-plundering globalists - but only on this issue, I guess) who won’t even spend some time trying to understand just how despicable Ukraine’s government is.
We have no history with Ukraine and all they’ve done regarding this country is acting as a money launderer for the DNC and the Deep State. As far as I’m concerned, if they’re invaded, they can deal with it.
One war to rule them all
One war find to them
One war to bring them all
and in the Ukraine, bind them
Victoria Nuland’s father-in-law Donald Kagan wrote a four-volume history of the Peloponnesian War.

Also remember that the term Neocon is just code for calling someone a Jew. If you don’t believe me ask Mark Levin.
“Also remember that the term Neocon is just code for calling someone a Jew. If you don’t believe me ask Mark Levin.”
Yea, I think that’s misplaced. Perhaps the original Neocons were Jewish, but when you have Linda and Romney leading the charge for WW3, it’s no longer just a Jewish thing, not by a long-shot.
No, sorry, Windsorknot, BobL does not get to claim he can't read minds, after his earlier post is based on the fact he can read minds, and that all that disagree with him do so in bad faith.
BobL you say anyone who dares to criticize Putin is a warmonger, who furthermore believes the Ukraine is "pure as the wind driven snow." You made the accusation, prove it, don't say, "I can't read minds, after you are going around doing just that.
Furthermore, you are going around criticizing anyone who doesn't adhere to your beliefs as a warmonger, yet you seem to champion Putin's war, to the extent that any criticism of it is wrong. So, that means YOU ARE THE NEOCON war lover. You will admit o criticism of YOUR precious war.
Also, you oppose any criticism of Putin as tainted and wrong, so, to use your own words, Putin is "pure as the wind driven snow."
Yes, please explain. An consider you Alinksyism called out.
One war to rule them all
One war find to them
One war to bring them all
and in the Ukraine, bind them
👍👍👍
Romney, Cheney, McCain, Bush, Ryan, Graham, Rubio etc. Basically 80-90% of the GOP today. Basically I am saying Levin has no real argument so he resorts to the race card.
” Basically I am saying Levin has no real argument so he resorts to the race card.”
Pretty sick.
LOL, I watch who I get in bed with. And when those people want me dead more than even Putin does, I’ll have problems with their position - ON ANY ISSUE.
Explain to me how you are also not a warmonger, when you say Putin's war is so holy and sacred that any criticism of it's a a mortal sin, that can't possibly be valid. Multiple places, you maintain any criticism of Putin, even while explicitly against any intervention, makes you a warmonger. There is no logical way to define your position as warmongering. Your war is scared, and anyone who is against it is an infidel. You are like a Muslim with Allah. who won’t even spend some time trying to understand just how despicable Ukraine’s government is.
Fair enough. But I want you to be honest, because some would say to you won’t even spend some time trying to understand just how despicable Ukraine’s government is. So, be honest, you don't think Russia's government is despicable. You think Ukraine is the devil, and Russia is saints. Please explain your opinion, because you go around talking like even a pacificist who dares to criticize Putin is a warmonger and a liar. If that's your position, fine, but acknowledge it.
Putin is Allah.
Neocon is simply a stupid term. The only valid meaning of neocon is a person who used to be something other than a conservative, but then became a conservative. Some people do use neocon to mean Jew, because of some Jewish people that were on the left, and moved to the right in the 50s. But the same is true of Reagan.
The other meaning of neocon is hawk, but it would be clearer to call them hawks, or makeup another term.
No clue what you’re talking about, unless you’re trying to be sarcastic. About all that I’ve said is that Putin’s attack is no less justified than our attack on Cuba would have been in 1963, if the Soviets hadn’t backed down on our doorstep.
No, he has an argument, because in the 2000s, there were definitely people who used Neocon to mean someone Jewish. They would point to someone like Paul Wolfowitz and call him a neocon, and it was because he's Jewish. It's confusing the issue. Criticize someone for being a hawk, but leave their ethnicity out. Remember, there were even people like Donald Rumsfeld and others, who they thought were Jewish, but weren't, but implied that was the reason for their beliefs.
You make ridiculous arguments. You claim they are in bed with Xi Jinping is completely siding with Russia, so by your definition you are in bed with him. In China, the government completely controls the internet. And right now, they won’t allow any criticism of Russia and the war.
And look at Biden, he has to come out against the war, but he's doing what he can to prop up Russia's economy.
Actually Xi was NEUTRAL when the war started. It wasn’t until we drove Russia into his arms did they start to work together.
Cannot say the some for the cabal run by Biden.
Oh please, you go after anyone who criticizes Putin/the war for being a war monger.
“Oh please, you go after anyone who criticizes Putin/the war for being a war monger.”
Who did I call a warmonger for simply attacking Putin? The warmongers we have are about 80% of elected Republicans who want to start an air war there. You with them?
