"They lied before so they are incapable of telling the truth"

is about as low of an IQ take as you can have. In fact, it's an example of ad hominem that was literally used in one of my intro to philosophy books. Make the argument based on the merits.


There are 3600 pages of arguments based on the merits in a thread next to this. Long and short ones. Bona fide and ad hominem.

Enjoy.

Surely in 5 to 10 years from now the US support for our Ukrainian allies will be just as strong as our support for our Kurdish allies in Syria and Afghan allies and Iraqi allies.

Ukraine is one of the very few examples where the USA can both forward its geopoltical interests by hurting a rival AND support the morally correct side AND use its massive defense budget to do so.

It's the perfect storm.


Did you say storm? you know its coming right?

I see you've declined to make an argument. Your cowardice is noted.

There are 36000 messages in that thread. I think I’ve contributed a solid 1000 by now.

Which one of my arguments do you want me to repeat.

Serious question.

Probably one that responds to what I said. Your choice!
