you're basically just admitting that you "feel" like you're right, so the actual facts don't even matter to you. i can honestly say i've rarely seen a more pathetic dodge than that, lol...

that said, you accidentally touched on a core issue there. people like bananii, ferdia, ampoo, dizzy, junior, and you (not even mentioning the countless paid russian bots now) simply lack the honesty and (sorry to say) maybe also the intelligence to actually identify someone's real position and arguments with any kind of nuance. so you simply resort to straw-men and caricatures, instead of actual arguments.

that's why you have to make such a big deal of the whole "orcs" thing, while not a single one of you has ever criticised russian aggression and war crimes without being explicitly asked to do so prior. that's why you go on and on about alleged NATO / US aggression and diplomatic overreaches, while constantly downplaying those of russia (like the fact that euromaidan only happened because moscow's puppet in kyiv violated the constition, and unilaterally withdrew from already agreed upon deals, something he clearly had NO mandate for), including the simple truth that it ultimately was russia that escalated militarily - repeatedly.

my personal position on the whole "orc" distraction remains what i said before: i don't have a problem with people calling murderers, rapists, and torturers "orcs" - that's a well deserved label in my opinion. however, i DO acknowledge there is a real danger of it being used as a slur against all russians - something i repeatedly told you i oppose. that's why i'm so confident in calling out your ridiculous lie: i'm dead certain that i never once used it that way.

obviously, you kremlin apologists are desperate for anything that allows you to attack those that criticise russia for repeatedly invading its neighbours, so any nuance gets thrown out of the window, and having called actual war criminals "orcs" in maybe one or two posts, magically becomes "calling all russians racial slurs for over 3,000 pages" - and when challenged to prove it you and ^bananii just dodge and tell me 'w-w-well i FEEL it's true, and that's all that matters'... sorry to tell you, ladies, but FACTS don't care about your feelings.

now please leave this forum forever you two, you clearly failed the challenge and were exposed as the liars you are.

also, you clutching your pearls over inappropriate language and "unfettered aggression" is pretty rich considering your own post history:

To go through the attempt you just did trying to explain yourself in such an essay only shows how difficult it is for you to cope with reality and life.
Good luck.

I have absolutely no interest in having a 5 year old juvenile kindergarten style argument or game of "leaving" the room with you.
You do what you do.

You are an Adult by now Fender. Act like one.

Have fun.

Russia has pushed closer to Kupyansk in recent days and are approximately 5km from the city. This is a strategically important city as losing it would mean that Ukraine would most likely have to withdraw west of the Oskil and cede back a decent chunk of east Kharkiv back to Russia.
This push up north has forced Ukraine to reposition reserves up north which would further weaken offensive actions in the South. Can't tell if this is a way to suck in reserves from other areas or the Russians will actually try to go for this city, but strategically very important and can be a Bakhmut 2.0, although on a smaller scale.

You self owned yourself, with your own comments after being pointed out. 3000 pages of you calling Russians Orcs and dehumanizing them and cry foul when others are discussing what led up to these events.
3000 pages of other said individuals dehumanizing them and they proved it right after before you posted.

You literally have no idea how the military works in a war or how media works during war time or when a government perceived they are under existential threat be it " Russians, USA, China, Japan " in general.

Your spin on what you wrote and your mental gymnastic after being pointed out parallels those that are shown by media outlets " MSNBC " , I can even put you on the panel replacing Rachel Maddow with absolutely no problem.
You view the current war as they invaded first they are orcs and anyone who doesn't support the narratives are pootin lickers, with absolutely no idea or perhaps you even know it but have problems swallowing the truth that led up to this incident.

You probably don't even know how and why Hitler got into power in the first place which cause a catastrophic WW2.

The world is not as simple as I can use a Full Tals Blizz Sorc and Solo hell.

Your simplistic world views or lack thereof and the denial of historical context, background, great power politics , the lack of understanding how great power works , the lack of understanding how the US Foreign Policy establishment works makes your commentary banal.

Perhaps something simple like having a discourse on the controversy of Gender Dysphoria might bring the best out of you. It is pretty straight forward.
