    Another way of looking at it is as background info on G Cohn. It is generally acknowledged that he is a Democrat. Pads out what would otherwise be a very short report!

    Yep, that's when I learned to actually realise what they are doing <ok> I posted about that site a few pages back.

    Now all I see when I read anything in the media, is LOTS of BULLSHIT spin.

    It's worth my 15 bucks a month tbh. Projects like this are good, applying scientific method in analysis of media reports

    This Russia thing just gets better and better <laugh>

    Hooker in Thai jail, she recorded a video in back of a police car on the way to jail, saying she has all the evidence on the Trump Russia collusion, posts the video on instagram and CNN report on it <laugh> CNN refer to her as "a young women who is a "sex educator"" <laugh> <laugh>

    All the Democrats have to do, is get her out of the Thai jail and she will reveal all <laugh>

    CNN actually sent someone to Thailand to interview the hooker in prison <laugh>

    If what she did opened the door for this sort of thing to happen then there is a link no matter how tenuous. Opposition love this sort of thing hence the opinionated article.

    It’s akin to saying that Churchill was responsible for the growth of Communism for helping to overthrow Hitler.

    It’s utterly ludicrous and a sad reflection of where we are at present when it comes to ‘news’

    Well yes, it's possible to spin these things any way you want to. In fairness the article linked was from the Opinions Column and as we all know, everybody's got one. <laugh>

    "correlation"?

    Maybe you need to look up the word mate, it does not apply here, I see you still like to gob off about **** you know nothing about though.

    Cause and effect is what relevant. Guess that's lost on you <ok>


    hmmm let me see, Iraq, remove strongman create power vacuum in place with extreme sectarian differences. Results in to now a million+ deaths, sectarian violence and constant suicide bombings, destroying the whole country and making everyone's life far FAR worse in the process

    OK we have Iraq as a lesson..

    hmm, Libya, remove strongman causing power vacuum, opposing sectarian militant groups go to war, smashing the country, flooding Europe with Terrorists (and Syria) making a prosperous state with decent education a bombed out **** hole where women are mutilated and murdered, people sold as slaves, terror attacks launched in neighbouring countries.

    hmmm Syria, trying to remove strongman, country filled with sectarian militants raping and killing and bombing, country smashed.. yet to be seen who wins.


    You have to be brain dead to not see the root cause of every one of the above, I would like to believe they were mistakes except they KNEW it would happen.

    Cheney '94: Invading Baghdad Would Create Quagmire


    Also even the Pentagon knew what would happen and tried to undercut Clinton (and Holande and Cameron)

    "Top Pentagon officials and a senior Democrat in Congress so distrusted Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s 2011 march to war in Libya that they opened their own diplomatic channels with the Gadhafi regime in an effort to halt the escalating crisis, according to secret audio recordings recovered from Tripoli."

    "Virtue signalling is the conspicuous expression of moral values done primarily with the intent of enhancing standing within a social group"

    Where did I express moral values ? and how is my post meant to enhance my standing in this social group, it nearly always has the opposite effect <laugh> #illiterate

    in fairness the entire western world has allowed it to happen.

    the joke that is sending ship to pick up poor unfortunates launched into the sea with zero hope of getting 5 miles or whatever is ridiculous. Nobody wants to actually fix the problem.

    Egypt (started and) ended up a defacto military dictatorship as the army took one look at the alternative and dropped the hammer on it.

    the only difference is liyban opposition had support to get shut of gadaffi. syria is same outside focres supporting.

    Then the west turned its back and let it all happen.

    We all know cameron did a whistle stop landing in there in lyiba shook hands and got the **** out. IMO if anyone cameron has more culpability than mrs private server.

    Views on politics, like history, depend on which books you read i.e. from which perspective. The article link is an opinion column in a US paper hence the content.

    I only dip in and out of this thread because I'm not a political animal and so it leaves me completely out of my depth most of the time. You're far too savvy for me to respond to anything else you posted there <laugh>
