Meanwhile the truckers are going-what the hell man? What about us?
I just feel bad for the innocent everyday people of Ukraine

No one ever cared about the truckers

Hafta disagree w ya on that. First thing we ever disagreed on

Did anyone else notice an awful lot of military aircraft flying yesterday, or am I just paranoid?

 

[Homsar]

Ooh boy I missed a few pages ?

Trump bragging about how great Putin is for invading Ukraine, Tucker for saying why should we dislike Putin, and the countless people who eat their rhetoric for breakfast

I watch a lot of historical documentaries, and historians often say that a military decision by someone like Hitler or Mussolini was “smart” or “the right thing to do” in the context of a military evaluation, that doesn’t mean they support the reasons behind the move or the move itself. It’s hilarious watching the left clutch it’s pearls and not understand that nuance.

I love the don’t get involved but Biden is weak take. What do they want? Lol

Imagine being 32 and thinking those two can’t exist together.

Makes a lot of sense, comrads?‍?

Anyone who defends their home soil from a foreign invader is automatically military? What a take.

I'm sure they are at a higher state of readiness right now.

I don't think anyone ever accused Mussolini of doing anything smart, and Hitler overwhelmingly shortened the war with his bad decisions is the historical take I most commonly see, and I too consume a lot of history stuff.

Who was smarter, Mussolini or Hitler?

Answer (1 of 7): Not at all. Mussolini was the quintessence of the Italian mindset in modern times, consisting in laying a disproportionate importance in cunning. That is enough, maybe, when you want to fool a countrie’s populace, but it’s just silly when you want to double the success trying to ...

Benito Mussolini | Biography, Definition, Facts, Rise, & Death | Britannica

Benito Mussolini, the controversial Italian dictator and founder of fascism, rose to power through his charismatic leadership but ultimately led Italy into disastrous alliances during World War II.

Blitzkrieg: Definition, London & World War II ‑ HISTORY

Blitzkrieg, or “lightning war,” is a method of offensive warfare designed to strike a swift, focused blow at an enemy using highly mobile ground and air forces.

The modern Left should be claiming the history channel and encyclopedia Britannia are fascist for saying Hitler/Mussolini as a person or their tactics are smart or well-executed ?

Oh they’re defending themselves from a military and the government handed out weapons, almost like they didn’t need them before. It’s almost like they’re combatants now

Quora? May as well be citing Ur_moms_nutz42069 on Reddit.

Never said they weren't intelligent, or charismatic, just that they weren't brilliant tacticians, reference every strategic level decision they ever made.

As far as blitzkrieg, Hitler is not every German general who implemented his plans of world domination, shitty credit where it's due.


This is all wildly tangential though.

I'd say this is correct, however I will not disagree with Homsar on his armed populace points. 1 gold star to each of you.

Also lol to saying modern left should be saying history is racist when academia has way more people in it who are left leaning than right, and that same right wing is the ones banning and burning books teaching about history

It’s almost like the definitions of military and civilian combatant are different ? maybe you need to look them up before moving goalposts.

My point was that while clearly those leaders’ flawed decisions caused them to lose their respective campaigns, some of their early moves were and are complimented to this day by academia. You can ding Trump on a great many things, but I had to roll my eyes at CNN’s chyron making it seem like Trump was completely on his side, when Uglytaco’s text of what he actually said was completely taken out of context, and was more akin to an understanding of a perspective behind the decision to invade versus full-throated support of it.

You don’t see CNN blasting a headline of “war historian is clearly a Nazi because they said Hitler’s Blitzkrieg was effective.”

Okay they’re no longer peacetime civilians, happy? Makes no difference to the point, they didn’t need guns before and now they do, that’s the difference

Cool, but that’s not what Occupy Democrats said, so they’re hypocrites, thus my point.

I dunno dude.... I read his quotes on the matter and it's a pretty hard sell to say he isn't at a minimum totally ambivalent towards daddy vladdy invading a budding democracy, if not supportive of it. That is a bad look for a former head of a democratic western state. That's not leadership, and it doesn't instill any faith in me that he would have handled this any better, as many people are claiming.

Way to get back on topic though, have another gold star.

Kind of sounds like an actual regulated militia

Homsar do you think whatever occupy democrats is speaks for us? Lol.

In other news new cdc masker rules come out today. Let’s goooo

It's about being technically correct, which I am. Sorry.

I don't agree with his takes, because I think Russia's actions should be condemned, but Biden is literally on the other side of the spectrum saying things like "Defending Democracy and Liberty Is Never Without Cost." Yeah, no, it's time to stop being Team America World Police and sit out of wars we don't belong in. Line up troops along NATO borders with Ukraine, sure, but we shouldn't be "defending Democracy" in Ukraine. Dude literally gets out of Afghanistan because it was a failed attempt to defend democracy, and basically gives a carbon copy of every President since Dubya's rationale to justify meddling in Afghanistan to meddle in Ukraine. That's certainly not leadership that I want, and the public agrees, with Soviet Union hat-wearing Psaki's comments exactly as I expect them to be:

Kind of sounds like an actual regulated militia

...which are civilians, not military. Thanks for backing up my point.

Homsar do you think whatever occupy democrats is speaks for us? Lol.

I just like pointing out hypocrisy. Ab19 chose to defend them, and we got in a debate about it.

God, maybe we can finally get back to normal.
