Yeah, I just read the news about a mayor, her husband, and son being executed for not going along with the Russian demands. It's pure madness. Unnecessary retaliatory killings of small town citizens...

Most of us here know a word salad when we see it, and I get why Yoda feels the need to to engage it; I honestly don’t know how he does it. The fact that he does engage it, and tacitly I might add,...

Unpopular opinion: Russia has more power than we give them credit. They have basically upended the entire world’s economy with their invasion. Arguably, even more so than COVID upended the world.*

I fail to see how this is relevant. The only group pushing that narrative is Russian state media, and it isn’t even a primary reason for their invasion. It’s a one off in a long ending bombardment of...

I also fail to see how a nation, who’s entire history has been predicated on fighting for independence for the last 100 years, needs their morale boosted. Those guys are more fired up than they’ve...

Uh, no, you don’t have to, and shouldn’t, spread propaganda to help the right side. We’re already living in a post-truth world as it is, and I don’t agree that actively spreading more disinformation...
