Ukraine invasion

How history will judge Putin. :)

Peter the Great - inherited an isolated, impoverished medieval fiefdom and bequeathed an empire.

Phylo,
I wasn't attacking the messenger, I was asking him a legitimate question based on his bizarre message which, IMO, could only have been written by someone under the influence of something even more potent - and far more dangerous - than BBC propaganda!

Zelensky succeeds greatly in the destruction of Ukraine

NATO keeps the country afloat, but the financial assistance that NATO members provide is only enough for the war

Yeah, and a lot of the planners have been rewarded with different forms of early retirement (some less pleasant than others).:rolleyes:


Some of their families did get to hear the sound of success though.

I'm reminded that Russian military commander is not a very stable career choice.;)

By same token .... I see this same modus operandi of reasoning with traders/investors who cannot make a dime and are incapable of figuring out why.

I won't ask what have they been smoking or what influence they are under.
Having been round a block or two its recognized by .....They be the ones who - like the boy who fell in love with his own reflection (ol' narci - see internet image) - have fallen in love with their own mind and live under the spell of their own 'amore.' They be the intelligent - dimeless - idiots.

I could add that they be mostly likely the one's carrying the experiments of youth to a manly degradation ..... quality pussy doesn't hang out with losers.

I am sure you can clock that this is in no way an attack on the messenger - it's merely commentary on the message and it's habitual historical reasoning modus operandi.

Phylo,
I understand all the words in your post, but the way you've strung them together leaves me scratching my head. The impression I have is, somehow, you've managed to extrapolate from my question to c_v about what he's been smoking, that I'm a losing trader, a "dimeless idiot" a narcissist and "carrying the experiments of youth to a manly degradation" - whatever that means. Is this correct? If so, fascinating though all this is, I fail to see how it's remotely germane to the topic under discussion!
:p

I would add - while of no particular religion - to borrow a biblical phrase - Matthew 11.15: 'He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.' *

* In context - no reference to '....Elias, which was for to come.'

experiments of youth - experiments of coming of age
