ah no you didn't you see. You said it was inevitable THEN. That is a world of difference. There is not one person - I would doubt - on this forum who was and has been in favour of supporting Ukraine with arms, who both knew - and stated as much - that Russian success in Ukraine was ultimately inevitable IF other countries failed to support it. Which was precisely the point. BTW, I don't recall you having the foresight to tell us two years ago that "inevitable victory" of the "world's number 1 military superpower" and its "industrial military base" would be achieved partly by way of outsourcing substantial amount of its arms supply to North Korea (>1 million artillery shells and rockets) and also Iran. Nor bolstering its ground forces with North Korean troops having burned through probably order of 700,000 of its own poor sods. This is turning into another "Bracknell-Nord-Stream" situation. I will leave you to continue parroting what you read in the MSM. Yes, if ever it becomes obvious that you are diverging from reality, blame it on MSM lies... Can I ask you some simple yes/no questions, please...? Are you denying that Russia has bolstered their own troops with North Koreans? Are you denying that Russia has been supplied with substantial amounts of arms from North Korea? Are you denying that Russia has been supplied with substantial amounts of arms from Iran? Because that's what you're accusing Brackers of "parroting". Let's look back at your predictions on this subject. Your first post on Ukraine was at the start of October 2022. You blamed the EU for provoking Putin, and said that you couldn't see the US backing down. p2pindependentforum.com/post/460341Within the next three days, you were saying that this was a US-Russia proxy war... p2pindependentforum.com/post/460595...but that it was very difficult to control a region by force, and that victory would be dependent on Ukrainian support for Zelensky. p2pindependentforum.com/post/460612...but also that it would be a matter of months, and that Russia's "counter-offensive" would definitely start a peace process. p2pindependentforum.com/post/460591...that Russia was only using a "fraction" of its resources... p2pindependentforum.com/post/460398...and that it was a long-established tactic of Russia to concede ground and fall back but they'd win out in the end. p2pindependentforum.com/post/460391Then, a week or so later, it was all Zelensky's fault for failing to simply take every opportunity Russia had to take the country over peacefully. p2pindependentforum.com/post/460981By last March, the UK was going to be the first target for Putin's nuclear weapons... p2pindependentforum.com/post/471274...but it definitely wasn't Russia throwing depleted uranium shells at Zaporizhia. p2pindependentforum.com/post/471058...while Ukrainian forces were exhausted and imminent defeat was inevitable. Because you read as much on Telegram. p2pindependentforum.com/post/470998

What totalitarian rulers seek is not only the eradication of political opposition but the complete transformation of the political sphere into a realm of total domination, achieved by eliminating all intellectual initiative.
This process includes the replacement of all first-rate talents, regardless of their political loyalties, with crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is the best guarantee of their loyalty.

Aha, back to the "its obvious to me that you said something about Nord Stream even though I have no evidence which is because you never actually said it but I'll keep on repeating it just because" nonsense.

lol Matt Gaetz as AG. EDIT: * Nominated, will need confirmation. well if the Matt Gaetz nomination made you laugh, the rumours are building that RFK Jr is going to be nominated as health secretary. Correction: now announced that he has been. A man who thinks HIV doesn't cause AIDS and that flouride should be removed from tap water.
Sounds an ideal candidate for the job

They need real supporters who can pay, nothing is free, that’s a price to pay for a different voice.

I have already offered free help to anyone suffering from TDS - I am a bit of a MAGA expert. My Guardian Reading Neighbour had a bit of a melt down at my MAGA baseball cap but I think it helped her release a lot of stress and I told her if she needed any help she can knock on my door any time. I also told her if she needs to release any stress she can use my US made in the ground Hot Tub with red white and blue lights - which I have Trump to thank for since I would not have fixed it without his victory. I am totally against laughing at people who are suffering from TDS, it is not a joke.

Trump's trade selection, Stephen Moore, has suggested that the UK needs to "choose" between the US and Europe to have any hope of a trade deal. www.lbc.co.uk/news/donald-trump-eu-stephen-moore-andrew-bailey-bank-of-england/So, let's be sure I've got this straight... US:Unstable disruptor about to take control on a platform of isolationism and 20% tariffs on all imports globally, 60% from country perceived as a threat ($150bn exports to, $427bn imports from). 2023 trade with UK - £192bn exports to US, £117bn imports to UK EU:Broadly stable leadership, nearest geographical partner. 2023 trade with UK - £352bn exports to EU, £453bn imports to UK Yeh, I think the choice seems obvious, if they're going to be antagonistic about it.

I imagine our Trade Secretary is already on top of this, no doubt discussing the UK's most diplomatic response with David Lammy as we speak.

just reading an thought inevitable is a nice word but do we ever use evitable ( just like we use invincible but never vincible )

just reading an thought inevitable is a nice word but do we ever use evitable ( just like we use invincible but never vincible ) The word exists, but it's redundant. My interpretation is that with inevitable the thing in question is unavoidable, so the emphasis is on what we do about that thing. With evitable, the thing in question is avoidable, so the emphasis is on whether we want it to happen, or avoid it, or whatever which renders saying / using it unhelpful.
