  1. Absolutely. Burisma tried to get a piece of the action with Hunter Biden. So what?
  2. You appear to be confused. We were talking about Hunter Biden. That article is about not Hunter Biden. Kudos for recognising Tesla's immense success story though.
  3. Because they thought he could influence his dad. So what?
  4. I'm absolutely sure Hunter Biden got a job because his name was Biden. So what? There is no 'there' there.
  5. Who are you even talking to? Whose hero is Hunter Biden?
  6. Who gives a shit where Hunter Biden's laptop came from? I don't remember him participating in any elections.

    Ukraine

    Yes, I know. That’s what I replied to. Let me know which part of my post you don’t understand and I’ll explain it to you.

    Ukraine

    Lol what? Crimea and the Donbas are now Russian forever, let’s be realistic. NATO is also a hard line and Ukraine would do extremely well to keep them to not much more than that.
  9. Lol, how on earth did you figure it does that? It simply goes to reinforce the fact that you’re only throwing accusations of identity politics around because she’s a black female, and you’re only comparing her to Rice because they’re both black females. You could look at any number of white male Presidents and VPs who often speak in public in an informal way but you haven’t, and there’s only one reason for that.
  10. Who gives a fuck? Compare or contrast, whatever. You chose Rice to do it solely and purely because you’re playing identity politics.
  11. You've heard loads of other Presidents and Vice Presidents start sentences like that. Wasn't GWB's 'folksy charm' one of the main reasons he was elected? Well, you just decided to compare her exclusively to another high level black female with a different job, rather than to anyone of a different gender and ethnicity who has previously done her job. I think you are about nothing but identity politics.
  12. Two data points? Do you know what the word 'trend' means?
  13. When was the last time you had a President who wouldn't address the press like that?

    I'm sure that would be just as easy as it sounds.

    Ukraine

    I'm disagreeing with the argument that you're actually making. You said the UK made a meaningless declaration of war that it didn't follow up on, and you're justifying that statement by saying we didn't beat the Germans in Europe in 1939/40. Again, if you're complaining about your argument being mischaracterised it's because you don't really know what you're saying.

    Yes, we will have to disagree with your insistence that any action which doesn't provide immediate victory is meaningless.
  17. And saying the exact same thing many other European politicians have been saying. Again, this is the first overt war of conquest against a distinct sovereign state in Europe for 70 years. Anyone with a sense of context will understand what she’s talking about. No, that’s you channeling your inner fraud. When you have to invent things she never said to criticise her for saying them it kinda shows you don’t have any real point to make.

    Then why are you saying that declaring war was meaningless? You keep jumping back and forwards between claiming that the declaration of war was meaningless because we didn't actually do anything, and saying that it was meaningless because what we did didn't stop Hitler straight away. Even though it categorically did change the path of the war - nothing happens in isolation. If you feel like words are being put in your mouth it's because you don't actually know what you're saying. You clearly haven't thought this through and instead of thinking about how each counterpoint affects your core idea you're just twisting around and moving the goalposts to avoid having to realise that maybe you didn't have a very good point to begin with.
  19. She was asked to explain it simply then was mocked for explaining it simply. You seriously think there weren’t plenty of people listening who have no idea where Ukraine is? You can’t blame Harris for the fact that so many of your countrymen need global geography explained to them as if the were school kids. She’s not the only one to be speaking in those terms. Peace and security is a step to far, but ultimately this is the first time that an overt war of aggression and conquest by one recognised sovereign nation against another has been waged in Europe since WW2. There is a distinction.

    Ukraine

    Fighting age men have not been allowed to leave Ukraine. Many Ukrainian men already living abroad have already returned to fight. So yes, the vast majority of people who have fled Ukraine are OAPs, children, or women who are looking after OAPs and/or children.
  21. Apart from the fact that it’s entirely false, that’s a great point.

    Ukraine

    Funny how “both sides are exactly the same” when it comes to well documented malfeasance like GOP gerrymandering but hey - being over dramatic is totally a left wing specific thing! Lol, be serious.

    Ukraine

    Yes, we really will have to disagree about your idea that anything short of immediately winning is meaningless. Or maybe you can tell the surviving families of tens of thousands of soldiers lost in that phase of the war that they did nothing beyond a meaningless paper gesture. Come on dude, seriously?
