This is a terrible analogy. If nothing else, it’s an example of “two wrongs don’t make it right.” But I agree with your next part …



There is certainly truth behind this. War is a money-maker for enough rich and powerful people to keep it in business.



This is where it becomes messy: the population put Hamas into power, so they’re guilty of empowering and supporting this regime. This didn’t arise from a one-man dictatorial grab at power. Unfortunately, this means there may be no getting rid of Hamas. It’s a wartime game of Whac-A-Mole. Or, as Yeats put it, “How can we know the dancer from the dance?”


I wouldn’t say it’s a proxy war between the US and Russia. This is Putin exercising his egotistical, craven desires for more land, more power, all the while knowing any country will only go so far to stop him without risking their own level of destruction.
Putin would never have done this if Trump was in power. He waited till there was a weak asf president with Biden. He also would never have done this if the west hadn't pushed forward with NATO expansion. He gave them ample warnings but they didn't listen. He also offered a peace deal not long after the conflict started that the US said don't sign and sent Boris Johnson over to Kyiv to babble with that little corrupt US fund embezzling weasel Zelenskyy.

It's 100% a proxy war between the US and Russia. That pos Lindsey Graham said they want to "fight to the last Ukrainian". The US couldn't gaf about Ukraine. They're simply trying to weaken Russia without a single US soldier on the ground. That's the very definition of a proxy war.

Absolutely, hence the reason why Queers for Palestine are more a meme than a committed body (physically). The ME is a catastrophe for women, gays, Christian and especially Jews. There’s no negotiating with violent Islamists, or tolerance from them for anything that doesn’t fit their ideology..
Sorry to burst your bubble but if you've been following the news there's no negotiating with a certain terrorist state called Israel. Hamas have on the contrary been very open to negotiations to stop the killing so you couldn't be more wrong...

It's the despicable Netanyahu regime who want to keep killing everyone in sight including innocent women and children, all with weapons and intel provided by Uncle Sam, the common denominator prolonging all wars for financial greed and gain to desperately try and reduce that 3 trillion dollar national debt without a single fuck given about all the death and destruction caused.

Of course Hamas want to negotiate: their cowardly leadership hidden away in plush Qatar saw what the Grim Beeper did to decapitate the leadership of Hezbollah. That was ingenious, by the way. They’ll be next.

There was a simple solution before this: give back the remaining hostages. They haven’t. So Israel will have to continue to batter them, until Hamas are destroyed. It’s not just an issue for the Jews, by the way, but they’re the big target of this evil and unfortunately they find themselves having to do this…

You don’t pay attention to Putin. The next target is the Baltic states.

You’re aware he’s a tyrant, right? Can you give a straight answer to this?

You're delusional man. 100% delusional. Putin is NOT going after any Baltic states. I've read hilarious bs like this from so many people on journal.ie

They want the terrorities currently with ethic Russians in Ukraine and that's it. They are NOT attacking a NATO country. It's actually NATO attacking Russia currently with US and European supplied weapons, aircraft and tanks. You're lucky Putin is actually tolerate of the west's bs or we'd all be nuked by now.

We may not have long to wait anyway if Baba Vanga's prediction for 2025 comes true. It also ties in with Deagle's decimated populations for 2025. You can be sure if this happens it's because Harris won and not Trump...

Then stop defending the people who want to kill all Jews - everywhere…
I'm not defending Hamas but you on the other hand are defending the scum nation of Israel who want to do the very same to all Muslims. Hypocritical much?

You didn’t answer the question.

Putin is a tyrant, agreed?

If they wanted to, they most likely could. But you have no basis for saying this other than the fact you think the same as Muslims when it comes to Jews. Hamas, however, have clearly stated their goal. Why don’t you believe them?

By the way, if the Israelis want to kill all Muslims, what are they appointing female Muslims as diplomats to Muslim countries.

You’re good with links. Look up Rasha Atamny. Then ask yourself how Hamas treat women. Then ask yourself how they treat Jewish women. We saw examples on October 7, last year.

You really are down the rabbit hole with the most horrible - and ancient - anti-Jewish propaganda available…

No need for any propaganda man. Just look at what Netanyahu is doing. It's despicable.

No. Not agreed. The west caused this.
So let’s get this in the record: you say that Vladimir Putin, who assassinates and imprisons his political opponents at home - and abroad - and who doesn’t hold free elections or allow free speech, is not a tyrant?

That’s what you believe?

You might have forgotten how there have been 2 attempts on Trump's life (absolutely unprecedented) in mere weeks but feel to believe America is better than Russia. Assange and countless others locked up. Snowden in exile. There are idiots here who said Trump is a dictator and will make America a dictatorship (delusional clowns) and it's a FACT that the so called democrats in the US censor the shit out of everything to push only their corrupt agenda and are doing the exact same thing so, again, please enlighten us as to how Russia is somehow worse?! The sheer irony that the threat to democracy is from the "democrats"...

I'd almost welcome nukes at this stage to take out some of these NPC idiots.

You wiggle out of the way of that question so much, we should set it to music.

I know your answer. I think I know your answer to most questions. It’s the wrong answer…

America are the biggest warmongers on the planet and it's not even close. For the blind people here to call Putin a tyrant while the US pump Israel and Ukraine full of weapons with no intention of stopping the supply and no intention of stopping the killing is utterly laughable. The nukes are on the way all because of the people you vote for.

Straightforward question, brother, a yes or no is quite sufficient. Deflections are not answers.

In your opinion, is Vladimir Putin a tyrant?
