Your atheism is definitely more militant than cult-like. In fact I’d say militancy pervades your every post.
Is Biden seriously trying to rekindle relations with Iran, Venezuela and Saudi right now?

You say that like it's a bad thing.Your atheism is definitely more militant than cult-like. In fact I’d say militancy pervades your every post.
I'd say most cults have a leader or object of worship. I can't think of a cult off the top of my head that doesn't or didn't have some sore to leader to worship. I can think of some cult-like groups like Scientology whose leaders have died, but still exist. Hubbard was the leader and when he died in the 80s he was replaced with another leader to keep the cult-like fire burning.

Definitely one of your more mildly militant posts. What did I do to deserve your love?
I’m curious how you define think in this case because it’s clearly got nothing to do with knowledge.
I have no idea what you're talking about. Bowl says I'm a perfect gentleman, but I think he drinks a lot.
I don't think you're a gentleman, and I drink a lot.
Not sure that I agree with that because Trump was so unpredictable that they may have been afraid he'd nuke them and he's probably crazy enough to do it.
No, in real life, Putin was going to do this, anyway. It's pretty clear that his campaign to support Trump vs. Hillary and then Biden had very little to do with personal feelings about Trump or American politics, and everything to do with Putin's opinion that Trump was not a friend of NATO, and his time in office would weaken the alliance. If anything, Biden's win should have changed his mind, but by that time, he was probably mentally all-in, and decided, f*ck it, let's do it, anyway.
Edit: please note, I'm not making any claims about Biden vis-a-vis NATO strength. I'm just describing how Putin clearly views things.
You clearly don't understand why you piss so many people off. Like Rock, you state your OPINIONS as FACTS as though once you've told everyone how it is the discussion should be over.
Putin may have been going to do it but that is NOT a fact. You can guess how Putin views things but again your opinion does not make it a fact.
Bowl was drinking at a bar in the middle of Kansas and he said parfuct.
If you know that, why do you let it piss you off?
I remember some professor way back when telling me to leave out the “I thinks” and “in my opinions” because everybody knows you’re stating your opinion.
Yeah, I mean, I'm stating the obvious, but it should go without saying that I'm stating my opinions about what is obvious.
Very introspective of you. I don't know why you are posting your journal entries here, but I hope you take it to heart!
What is obvious on top of what the serious experts who have been following Russia, Ukraine, and Putin for two decades have been saying for at least a decade.
How do you think Putin viewed this?
Pentagon push to send more trainers to Ukraine was scrapped in December amid White House fears of provoking Russia
Senior military officials told the Hill they wanted to train Ukrainians on unconventional warfare tactics. But the idea was stopped cold over the administration's worries about escalation.

Alea iacta est.How do you think Putin viewed this?

He probably didn't care about that at that point.
So Joe was justified, in your mind, for not following the Pentagon's advice?
So????? Experts are a dime a dozen.
If the Russians looked at Trump the way I do then they may have been afraid that he would nuke them. I think Trump is missing a few key brain cells... I told my wife more than once that I was concerned about what he might do when/if he lost the election. He's so %%^$ reactive that you really never know what he's gonna do.
There is practically zero chance Putin views Trump the way you do. You are an American. You view Trump as an American leader/crackpot/jackass. Whatever, however you view him. Putin viewed him as a leader of his greatest geopolitical foe. Very different context.
Trump made it clear he didn't like NATO. Putin wanted to use that dislike. It has nothing to do with Trump himself or American politics at all. It only had to do with whether or not a wedge could be driven between the US and UK/Germany/Etc.
I said “serious” experts deliberately. They are not a dime a dozen. I don’t even include journalists that have been covering the Soviet union for 20 years in Russia as serious experts. They’re serious journalists maybe.
With all due respect I don’t think you’re right about Trump at all. He’s a salesman. He sold his tough image to get elected. Underneath he’s a coward. He doesn’t have the guts to press the button.
And Putin is extremely smart and able to read people. He read right through Trump, the cowardly salesman.
Are you sure he wasn’t talking about Putin?
By the way, I would happily disabuse you of your ignorance but I get the impression you enjoy it and I wouldn’t want to take that away from you.
“U.S. national security advisor Sullivan says condemns in the strongest terms Iran’s missile attack on the Kurdistan region of Iraq”
Iran won’t like being ignored…
Iran won’t like being ignored…
In my opinion you always have to weight the good vs the bad in each candidate. I like some of Trump's policies but he was bad as far as representing the US to foreign countries because they never knew where he stood on a lot of things. He was constantly saying one thing one day and something different the next day. I can't imagine trying to have a rational discussion with Trump. You become an enemy if you disagree with him. Like Putin he needs to be surrounded with "Yes" people.
As far as the Russian Collusion Hoax that was just politics. The media kept it out there because they thought it would help Hillary and all a lot of people see are the headlines. Now there are conspiracy people who will always believe that certain things are true no matter how much evidence points out that it is wrong. There are people today that you could never convince that we landed on the moon.
