Interesting read on "Why are We in Ukraine?". THe author is critical of US policy and where it might lead...


Nary a one of these dudes ever seems to mention that Ukraine signed three separate deals with Chevron, Exxon and Shell to develop three oilfields in Ukraine in 2014 before the Russian invasion (it was in 2014, and just widened a lot in 2022)

Then again, damn near 100% of journalist lack in intellectual curiousity other than to try to prove their preconceived ideas.

It's not just the left leaning ones. It is across the board.

I am having trouble finding this on his feed and its strange that the image cropped out the posting details. Can you post the full image?

You do realize that patch's history goes back further than the NAZIs, don't you? The Lion in the patch is the Ruthenia Lion which symbolizes that Ukraine not Russia is the motherland of the slavic people. The crowns represent the Kingdom of Rus, Lwow Lands, and Ruthenian Voivodeship. That patch has been a symbol of Ukrainian/Rithenian resistance and/or nationiality for centuries. Ukrainian/Ruthenian rebels, nationalists, and dissidents have used the flag with the Ruthenian Lion and the 3 crowns since the Middle Ages. It has been a symbol of resistance against the Mongols, the Czarist Russian Empire, the Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, the Bolsheviks, the USSR, and now the Russian Federation. It is also the logo of a soccer team in Lviv. Just because that patch was borrowed by the NAZIs for less than two years does not make it a NAZI symbol.

It has been obvious that Landshark lacks intellectual curiousity.

I was just about to ask that. I looked on Zelensky's twitter and instagram accounts and I did not find it posted anywhere. When I searched the images URL nothing came up. Of course I am not surprised that OMLandshark fell is spreading misinformation.

The issue which comes up repeatedly (at least for me) is whether he lacks intellectual integrity, not intellectual curiosity.

There's none of that in this thread. You blast every single idea that doesn't match your propaganda.

No one here wants truth.

No, we don't believe you are the gatekeeper of the truth. An idea you just can't seem to grasp.

He doesn't even take down the false propaganda he posts, though. A few days he posted this (without the strike through):



that was a shop job on this:



He was told that it's disinfo, but he apparently doesn't give a shite. It's still up.

TacoNash is totally in the right to ask him for source.

Including you, you seem hellbent on arguing the US is prolonging the war, without answering whether you believe the war would continue without US involvement at all. Not to mention your schizophrenic approach to negotiations, where you admit Russia cannot be trusted, and then can't seem to relate what the 'end of diplomacy' looks like, or even elaborate on the prisoners dilemma at play here. You aren't some truthsayer brother, your just an annoyed libertarian who can't seem to understand the facts of human conflict.

Including you,


I do. Its not available.

All we have now is very convenient propaganda. Unlike most of those who post here, I'm honest enough to say I don't know how the war is going. 31,000 post later, The OT doesn't either.

We can do better than just say "nobody knows anything", though. That's a cop out.

There's 30,000 posts of nothingness you can review here. Go for it and "do better."

I never find it wise to make decisions based on very partial truths.

Well, you just added one more post of nothingness. Perhaps you should stop spewing your nothingness. It isn't helping.
