🔝👍👍👍
I’ll take it. Thanks, Vlad.
>>>>FR was so much better when it was an echo chamber, wasn’t it?<<<<
You claim that in the almost 4 years you’ve been here, chaddie, FR went from being an echo chamber to a forum for open debate.
Isn’t that interesting?
News flash: In the almost 26 years I’ve been here, I’ve seen no evidence of FR being an echo chamber. It’s been a forum where new or differing opinions were posted and discussed.
Although FReepers disagreed, there was a common thread: we loved this country. Now, there are posters seeking to destroy our country and this site, either purposefully or through sheer stupidity.
The fact that you and like minded zeepers haven’t intimidated us into silence frustrates you and really pisses you off, doesn’t it chaddie?
That makes me extremely happy.
Don’t be silly. You know those “referendums” were a sham. Run like a Philly election.
Absurd claim. Here's the truth:
Russia's Igor Strelkov: I Am Responsible for War in Eastern Ukraine
Russian national Igor Strelkov, a former commander of pro-Moscow separatists in eastern Ukraine, has claimed personal responsibility for unleashing the conflict in which 4,300 people have been killed since April.
"I was the one who pulled the trigger of this war," Strelkov said in an interview published Thursday with Russia's Zavtra newspaper, which espouses imperialist views.
"If our unit hadn't crossed the border, everything would have fizzled out — like in [the Ukrainian city of] Kharkiv, like in Odessa," Strelkov, who uses that nom-de-guerre meaning "Shooter" to replace his last name Girkin, was quoted as saying.
"There would have been several dozen killed, burned, detained. And that would have been the end of it. But the flywheel of the war, which is continuing to this day, was spun by our unit. We mixed up all the cards on the table," he said.
It highly depends on the topic, to be fair.
If you dared to oppose the Afghanistan/Iraq Wars or the Bush Administration's policies during the early 2000s, your likelihood of getting zotted was incredibly high.
FR has its own echo chambers. That hasn't changed since its inception.
What you talkin' 'bout, Chad-Willis?
You haven't even been here 4 years.
“There is one way that Putin could save humanity from world war 3... Put a gun in his mouth and pull the trigger.”
That’s quite a risk. I liken this to a bunch of employees hating their boss and wishing he’d be replaced. They get their wish and the new boss is 10 times worse than the one that left.
My point is we have no control over who will replace Putin should he depart. The replacement could make Putin look like an angel and actually do a first nuke strike without any warning or provocation.
Tell your Biden that he's a sham, and his "election" was a sham.
We didn't miss you, BTW.
I didn't go anywhere.
Posting under another FR screen name, then. Gotcha.
That's why I asked. I wonder how those older-than-dirt posters keep it up. You'd think they'd run out of hate after a while.
You responded to one of them.
Worse. The ballots in Crimea had two choices: a.)Annexation now, or b.)Annexation next month. Insider reports said only 30% of eligibles voted.
Nope. Just lurking.
Good to see you haven’t been suspended for hatin’ on President Trump this week, Furrz.
It's weird, because you and I usually agree 100% on most everything else.
We differ on just this single topic.
Of course, I believe that the Western Media and the Ukrainians are lying about their casualties, and are hiding enormous losses on their side.
Mr Zelensky said on Sunday [Feb 25, 2024] that he was providing an updated death toll in response to the inflated figures that Russia has quoted. "31,000 Ukrainian soldiers have died in this war. Not 300,000 or 150,000, or whatever Putin and his lying circle are saying. But each of these losses is a great loss for us."
If I had to choose which was sent by God, Vlad of Biden, clearly Vlad is more aligned with religious tenents and family values.
