  • Well, yeah.

    Europe is continent sized piece of land. Russian tanks rolling into Moldova is a bit different than Poland, or Germany.

    Different politically, militarily, and strategically.

    Even then, I can’t see Putin biting off any more at this particular moment. Time will tell if Trump significantly eases sanctions to a degree that would enable him to speedily recapitialize.

    Of course, I didn’t believe he’d actually try and take Kiev, so I’m not going to sit here and cosplay as a Kreminologist.


  • Part of explaining why these policies are bad, means explaining alternative policies, which for Democrats means “means tested”, some “undefined consensus policy”, or something else equally as idiotic.

    So while I mostly agree with your sentiment, the DNC is structurally incapable of doing what you’re suggesting.

    People didn’t vote in Trump because the status quo was working, and the DNC won’t change, because it’s working well enough for their short term interests.












  • Churchill wasn’t bad simply because he was a racist… I think retrograde views on race are one of the areas where it’s reasonable make allowances when judging historical figures.

    Churchill was an aristocrat and an imperialist responsible for numerous atrocities within Britain’s colonial holdings, and that’s not even going into his anti-labor beliefs and practices.

    The reason why I didn’t provide you an alternative was because your original comment never required you to mention Churchill. That was an unforced error on your part, as the comment you were responding to wasn’t an analogy to begin with.

    But if you’re deadset on needing an alternative for your unnecessary analogy, FDR is easily the best of a bad bunch.
