So are the French and the British. Germans and Spanish, too. Barbarism is what everyone tries to grow beyond, but wars put it to the test. Eastern Europeans aren’t as far removed from the barbarism as Englishmen or Frenchmen, though. But it’s only been a few hundred years since Preston Pans and the suppression of the Scottish clans, or the French reign of terror.

No you agree and defend Biden. Trump wants to get to the negotiating table.

So quit lying.

In fact, Your two weeks ended prematurely yesterday. All that struttin’ and high fives that Ukraine won was blown away in one major attack. I told you the end probably had not come yet. It still hasn’t.

I don’t care who wins because nobody will. I just don’t like people propagandizing and spreading lies 24/7 like cheap little groupies. Oh, and Joe Biden supporters

>>No you agree and defend Biden.

Yes I agree with Biden helping Ukraine.
Doesn’t make me a Biden “supporter”. Duh.

Did you support Obama killing OBL? By your reasoning you are a Obama supporter .. See how stupid that is? Sometimes a blind pig finds an acorn. That is, just because you dont support a politician doesnt mean you oppose everything he does. Only retards do that.

Trump is not President. Trump was against Russia invading Ukraine, and I agree.

“All that struttin’ and high fives that Ukraine won”

Kind of like how the Putards back in March were doing same?

Oh, and BTW I have never said Ukraine has won.

As I’ve pointed out before, these are atrocities, but not Nazi attrocities. Nazis are systematic and do slaughter wholesale. Muslims, African tribal fighters and Cossacks are brutal as a crime of passion, and do slaughter retail. Passion spent, they forget their rage and perhaps even regret it. The Nazis were not barbarians, which makes them all the more frightening. A German professor overseeing a gas chamber is a thing of evil, but not a barbarian. He couldn’t pass for a Cossack if he had to, because he is systematic and intellectual. He’s convinced himself that the people he’s gassing aren’t really people, but vermin and a menace to be eliminated neatly and cleanly. Much worse than a Cossack. These are Cossacks.

Whatever you call it, it happens all over. After the American Revolution, a Mr. Shephard got together his cronies and killed off the Delaware Indians in one night, using clubs and their trust. The tribe, devout Christians, were traveling and he warned them that for their safety they should submit to being tied hand and foot and put in their village’s compound. This the Delawares willingly did. Then Shephard showed up with his cronies in the middle of the night and with the help of another tribe of Indians, bludgeoned them to death. Something similar was done to the Susquehano Indians after the French & Indian War..
