So. What, in the categories of “brains” and “history”, are we to cross swords about?
Is that crossing swords? Looks more like you are trying to spit. Not a good look.<
UMBRELLAS AT DAWN!

Russian forces are pushing hard to take the Ukrainian stronghold of Avdiivka. But why?
In this video, we do a deep analysis on Russia's staggering losses, including infantry, tanks, and heavy equipment. We talk about why Russia wants the city so badly, what Vladimir Putin's stake in it is, and how it all connects back to Russia's invasion of Crimea and the War in the Donbas.
lolsszz ...You know everything.
“lolsszz ...You know everything.”
Which is that to which we should all aspire!
“palsied by age and giving up on morality.”
And that is what it is. Good line.

Yours truly with the wonderful, delightful, late FReeper, tongue-tied many years ago with Saddam’s crossed swords behind us. May tongue-tied rest in Heavenly peace until we meet again. Miss you, my FRiend. ♥️
It’s the Free Republic version of Baghdad Bob, and I’m perfectly free to voice my irritation with the constant spamming.
Who is that in the pic with you? We have many late, great Freepers these days, sadly.
Nice to meet you FRiend.
You’re a good lookin’ chickie.
That is FReeper “tongue-tied.” He served in the Navy. I met him in Baghdad when I was working in the Green Zone and he came from Victory Base Camp (where I also worked a couple of times) on his three-day pass.
He passed away a few years later. It was sudden - and this was well before the Covid fiasco. He was a great guy - warm, caring and had a stellar sense of humor. About a year or so after that picture was taken, he was sent to Ukraine on a training mission and I know he’d have some interesting things to say about Biden and this current mess.

Awww…that is sweet of you to say. 🤗
buwaya Post 97: “Who do I need to “persuade”? There are idiots everywhere, and these people cannot be reached through any means available to me, which are religion, reason and historical perspective. I just laid out my own convictions and such. If that is not sufficient, then so be it.”
buwaya Post 90: “It definitely isnt a good fit with “modern American ideas”. As always, I suggest “The Conservative Mind”, Russell Kirk, as a guide to where that “modern American mind” came from. And a guide as to whats in it. People in FR rarely look into their own heads.”
If FReepers are shallow idiots why do you post here?
According to you, FReepers don’t possess the intellectual capabilities to “cross swords” with the “Superior Foreigner”.
One would think that a genius like you would crave mental challenges and post in the Mensa International forums or other similar forums.
Or perhaps our stupidity bolsters your feelings of superiority.
Russia doesn't WANT anymore territory from Ukraine. It wants Ukraine to surrender and leave its territory alone. Putin Thought He Could Take Kiev in 2 Days
You were saying?
Your problem is that you have such a hatred of Russia that you don't care to even understand the Russian POV.
Funny, that's almost word for word what some Russian snowflake on another site said to me before blocking me. Living in a country where dissenters defenestrate themselves after shooting themselves in the back of the head will do that to you.
Not everyone in FR is an idiot. There are substantial people posting here. And this includes ex fighter pilots and ex artillery officers, to (not) name a few on the matter of the Ukraine war, ex professionals in the energy industry, etc.
There is, however, a subculture of what are best called the emotionally motivated. Let us say that they are not the sort with whom one can have a rational, informed discussion. And, sadly, this is because that sort of person is simply too lazy to learn anything. Its that whole “one can lead a horse to water...” thing, normally seen among children and teens, the bane of good teachers everywhere, but here it is manifest among 50-80 year old men. A very shameful business.
Mensa has never appealed to me. What I have seen of it seemed to run heavily to people inclined simply to exist, and not to do.
We the people didn't sign anything. Antony Blinken's father, Donald M. Blinken under Bill Clinton signed the Memo.
Just like several other accounts.
Huge difference between a massive spammer and an infrequent poster. I’ve just become more active over the last couple years. I also lurked here a long time before I got an account.
🙄
The reason why UMCRevMom and others post multiple articles per thread is because of the abuse they get. Abuse which is far more directly personal than I've ever seen here before.
I've lurked here a long time too.
Spamming the spam with your spam complaining about the spam
Their logic that spamming the “spam” is okay kinda of makes me chuckle.
The energy spent by the multitude letting us know their “displeasure “ and how annoyed they are, yet often they are the first to make comments. Almost like they are waiting, refreshing constantly, looking for the post to drop so they can “release”
