Right...do you understand how stupid that made you sound? Tom Send a noteboard - 10/03/2014 01:11:34 PM

I'm not talking about objectivity in the current crisis generally. I'm talking about familiarity with Russia's economic and military condition.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

Don't Make me Laugh, Mr. Obama Tom - 01/03/2014 03:14:50 AM 1389 Views
i like obama and even i think that was dumb of him. *NM* temeraire - 01/03/2014 05:24:39 AM 484 Views
yep yep. why do you hate on Kerry, though ? *NM* AgentApple - 01/03/2014 08:11:52 AM 393 Views
He's a useless asshat. *NM* Tom - 01/03/2014 04:14:54 PM 395 Views
He's not the only lame duck in this, though. DomA - 01/03/2014 05:41:01 PM 908 Views
It's a little more complicated than that, I think. Legolas - 01/03/2014 07:42:20 PM 761 Views
It's always more complicated... DomA - 01/03/2014 08:57:54 PM 754 Views
Yes yes yes. This. Tom - 01/03/2014 09:11:19 PM 706 Views
Well, we split on that then - I most certainly do not support such an annexation. Legolas - 01/03/2014 10:25:48 PM 701 Views
Any reason you keep misspelling Sevastopol? Tom - 02/03/2014 12:52:01 AM 890 Views
You write "the Ukraine", while calling me old-fashioned? Legolas - 02/03/2014 01:57:58 AM 762 Views
Yes. Dropping "the" is an anti-Russian move. It will always be the Ukraine. Tom - 02/03/2014 02:58:32 AM 766 Views
Just because there's an article in Russian doesn't mean there has to be one in English. Legolas - 02/03/2014 11:21:25 AM 711 Views
I say the Sudan and the Congo. Tom - 02/03/2014 02:17:33 PM 757 Views
You do? Why? Legolas - 02/03/2014 03:21:56 PM 841 Views
As with most analysis at the Guardian, I think it's wrong. Tom - 02/03/2014 05:00:20 PM 768 Views
This one from a former advisor of Reagan-Bush might be closer to your views DomA - 05/03/2014 09:01:13 PM 912 Views
" la Crimée vaut bien un tiramisu" - I liked that. Tom - 05/03/2014 11:06:55 PM 773 Views
Yeah, I laughed reading that too. The original piece in English was probably better... DomA - 06/03/2014 02:08:03 AM 760 Views
I don't think it's limited to Crimea. They will likely occupy Eastern Ukraine as well. Tom - 01/03/2014 09:08:56 PM 724 Views
its going to be hard to find support from the West MrFarstrider - 01/03/2014 06:37:15 PM 693 Views
Well, no one in Europe or the US has any direct interest here. Tom - 01/03/2014 09:13:36 PM 669 Views
Obama is weak and is viewed as a joke by most of the world. Anonymous2000 - 03/03/2014 04:12:25 PM 644 Views
Don't worry, not as much as the ape before him *NM* ironclad - 04/03/2014 03:23:14 PM 424 Views
So what's your plan of action? Jay Sherman - 03/03/2014 11:25:59 PM 716 Views
My plan of action is to let Putin have Ukraine. We have no interests there. *NM* Tom - 04/03/2014 01:29:45 AM 433 Views
Ehem. Why are you being anti-Russian? ;-) The Shrike - 04/03/2014 01:25:37 PM 741 Views
Lack of space in a subject line that was the entire message. Tom - 04/03/2014 02:21:49 PM 719 Views
I watch дождь via etvnet.com. Lovely site for all Russian TV. The Shrike - 04/03/2014 08:23:58 PM 711 Views
I like their criticism of Putin generally, but I don't buy the "enemy of my enemy" position. Tom - 05/03/2014 11:39:15 PM 675 Views
Of course we do random thoughts - 04/03/2014 04:57:09 PM 737 Views
Wrong. Tom - 04/03/2014 06:04:31 PM 651 Views
that ignores the point random thoughts - 06/03/2014 02:01:09 PM 893 Views
No, it doesn't. Tom - 06/03/2014 02:57:16 PM 679 Views
Re: No, it doesn't. random thoughts - 06/03/2014 06:22:32 PM 738 Views
Yes, the US violated the agreement. Tom - 06/03/2014 07:27:23 PM 788 Views
I have answered your question but you have still refused to answer my point random thoughts - 07/03/2014 01:48:53 PM 721 Views
You assume that the Ukraine's borders should be inviolate. Tom - 09/03/2014 05:56:45 PM 723 Views
Russia signed an agreement to not violate those borders random thoughts - 10/03/2014 12:18:37 PM 687 Views
Yes, and we signed the UN Charter, but invaded Kosovo anyway. Your point? Tom - 10/03/2014 01:10:33 PM 660 Views
Oh, and now the West is talking about $15 billion in loans for Ukraine. Tom - 05/03/2014 11:41:12 PM 682 Views
And you see that as the same thing as sending in troops? random thoughts - 06/03/2014 01:37:28 PM 686 Views
I think you've listened to too much propaganda from the 1990s. Tom - 06/03/2014 03:06:18 PM 654 Views
More like the 80s random thoughts - 07/03/2014 01:50:43 PM 699 Views
So I guess traveling to Russia extensively is of no value. Tom - 09/03/2014 05:58:00 PM 643 Views
in this case no it doesn't. random thoughts - 10/03/2014 12:20:13 PM 667 Views
Right...do you understand how stupid that made you sound? Tom - 10/03/2014 01:11:34 PM 636 Views
Or alternatively, it made him sound as someone who was just referring to something else than you. Legolas - 10/03/2014 08:14:00 PM 693 Views
The junk they used in Chechnya was laughable... everynametaken - 16/03/2014 01:51:28 AM 834 Views
Its a great time to throw some missiles in Poland MrFarstrider - 04/03/2014 03:43:24 AM 737 Views
Call me crazy, but I like this idea! MonCul - 04/03/2014 12:31:07 PM 798 Views
There are no longer two super powers *NM* random thoughts - 04/03/2014 04:40:16 PM 391 Views
Under Obama, it would seem there are none. *NM* Tom - 04/03/2014 06:15:27 PM 375 Views
at Poland *NM* ßelals Girl - 04/03/2014 08:09:14 PM 378 Views
In case you're not familiar with BMD MrFarstrider - 04/03/2014 11:13:06 PM 778 Views
I know what you're talking about, I was just kidding around *NM* ßelals Girl - 04/03/2014 11:41:20 PM 407 Views
*NM* MrFarstrider - 05/03/2014 12:38:54 AM 399 Views
*NM* ßelals Girl - 05/03/2014 01:00:57 AM 381 Views
Ron Paul, interestingly enough, agrees with me. Tom - 04/03/2014 02:38:44 PM 691 Views
