My only issue with these maps is that there needs to be some kind of distinction between recent Ukranian counteroffensives that took ground, and the one in the early stages of the war before the lines more or less stabilized. I don't think the big blue blob on this one really tells you anything about the current state of the war.

Now go look up the word "apologist" in your Ukranian to English dictionary and then go look through his posts.

Even this one

Putin has played this perfectly so far.


Isn't being an "apologist".

I actually hope not. We disagree pretty strongly, but he is someone who will lay out their positions and debate without feeling the need to outright lie or become overly emotional on the issue.

Reality snd taking up got Putin are two different things.

I’ve never asked an administrator to ban you. Do you believe you should be banned?

By that token, are you doubleb's wingman, or are you two just in a competition to see who can make the worst arguments?

Define "apologist" and tell me anything you linked in that last post applies to that definition.

I will give you a freebie on a point I've made multiple times:

Putin has some legitimate reasons for invading Ukraine. I also think he is a murderer, and those legitimate points aren't any actual justification for invading Ukraine and killing hundreds of thousands of people.

By your extremist view that is probably being an "apologist", to which I say "Oh, well".

Do I need an example of you being a wingman for anyone who is pro Putin.

After today it’s obvious that you relish in jumping in and stirring things up and it’s always the same BS.

I'm asking for an example of them being pro-Putin.

JB was pro-Putin. He was also pro-CCP, and I said he deserved to be banned.

So kind of like what you, LSURussian, and CitizenKuck do with me?

I can’t speak for them, but on most days I try and avoid you. I was today until I messed up.

But I do find it amusing to watch you come here before the crack of dawn here and watch you play board cop. I can tell you love it.

But why do you always take the side of Commies, globalists, and such?

Asking people to back up the things they say isn't playing board cop.

Still 0 examples from you and 0 good examples from LSUukranian of anyone being a "Putin apologist".

Do you have any examples of this, or is this another unfounded claim?

The "globalists", defined in a way that most people understand them, are very much in favor of this war, and the US providing as much support as possible.

Though I do support the EU helping Ukraine. Maybe I am pro-globalist? Not as much as you, but maybe I'll get there.

Not caring about Ukraine doesn’t make someone “pro Putin”.

Thanks for that. Was never hiding. As I said at the time, I am very busy with work, and don't have time to scroll past 10 pages of Lord Bebo and Geroman posts everyday. Now that those are gone, I have time to regularly keep up with this thread -- I don't have to deal with posts about Florian Philpott's views on Zelensky's state of mind.

But, yeah, obviously Putin made Trump some kind of promise or concession that changed what would have otherwise happened today. We don't know exactly what that concession was. But that's the whole point of what Trump has been doing: he's really not interested in Ukraine taking back its territory, but rather, he's interested in peace and ensuring that he gets the Nobel next year. What I've been saying lately, repeatedly, is that now that the Middle East deal is done, Trump is going to push much harder for peace in the Russo-Ukrainian War.

As opposed to you "can't make an argument so I'll just mention Cobb salads again..."

Not interested, or doesn't believe its possible?

I would have liked to see Trump get some kind of immediate concession after all of the can-kicking from Putin with Trump's previous attempts at peace. Pretty disappointed that didn't happen.

Well, Trump somewhat recently indicated that he thought it might be possible, but he may have simply been trolling Putin with that comment.

Yet another post where you still haven't provided any sort of counter-argument.

The absolute meltdown you had about Cobb Salads is objectively funny. That has a life of its own now, I don't even have to bring it up anymore.
