Just like war is supposed to be an act of congress, I claim that support
for Ukraine should also be dependent on an act of congress. As it is,
the US is divided in the polls on who they support. Ukraine is not a
member of NATO and not everybody supports them in this country.

Winston Churchill famously said, "The US always does the right thing
after they've tried everything else."

It still requires a formal discussion so that the people can be
convinced supporting Ukraine is the correct action. As it is, this is practically a Soviet civil war, so why get involved?

It's stirring up among the pundits. What will be the effects of
Orban's loss?

Ukraine may emerge not only a victor in her bitter fight against
Russia, but emerging from it more powerful than when it started.

With a highly desirable military technology to sell and tens of
billions of committed investment from the EU and the good will of its
powerful neighbors, Ukraine is on the fast track to the western
political and economic Success as the Eurocentrics.

Congress has passed much support of Ukraine. Have you forgotten Trump
was impeached for refusing to implement Congressional demands to
execute that support?

"Trump's first impeachment took place after a formal House inquiry
found that he had solicited foreign interference in the 2020 U.S.
presidential election from Ukraine to help his re-election bid, and
had then obstructed the inquiry itself by telling his administration
officials to ignore subpoenas for documents and testimony. The inquiry
reported that Trump withheld military aid[a] and an invitation to the
White House from Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy in order to
influence Ukraine to announce an investigation into Trump's political
opponent Joe Biden, and to promote a discredited conspiracy theory
that Ukraine –? not Russia –? was behind interference in the 2016
presidential election.[4][5] " <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_impeachment_of_Donald_Trump>

"The House of Representatives impeached President Donald Trump on Dec.
18, 2019, charging abuse of power and obstruction of Congress for
withholding aid to Ukraine in exchange for political favors and then
refusing to provide information during Congress’s investigation
(report; 230-197 vote on abuse of power; 229-198 vote on obstruction
of Congress). " <https://www.govtrack.us/posts/514/2019-12-18_president-donald-trump-impeached-for-abuse-of-power-and-obstruction-related-to-seeking-political-favors-from-ukraine#:~:text=The%20House%20of%20Representatives%20impeached,Congress%20for%20withholding%20aid%20to>

There are lots more.

You're confused, Germany didn't invade Ukraine, Russia did. They are not
a lager country, they are a vodka country. Are you saying that the
Russian leadership was drunk to invade Ukraine because earlier it seemed
you were blaming Trump for the Russian invasion of Ukraine by
withholding aid to Ukraine during his first term. It's possible. Trump's
lack of aid weakened them and then Russia invaded after Trump left
office in order to shift the blame. See, Putin really is Trump's buddy,
not his boss like you were trying to say. Why do you have to apply
superiority to Putin to make Trump look bad? Isn't it bad enough that
they are partners, working together against the world and NATO for fun & profit?

sister of his own wife, Queen Tahpenes, in marriage.
The sister of Tahpenes bore him a son named Genubath,
whom Tahpenes brought up in the royal palace. There
Genubath lived with Pharaoh’s own children.

You said, and I quote, "was attacked by a lager country." The lager
country that is front & center is Germany. How trite of you to just
enjoy Oktoberfest and then put Germany on the back burner for the
rest of the year.

Or, learn to spell, you fucking moron.

Or you could learn what a "typo" is...

What a convenient excuse, that it was merely a typo. No, I am convinced
that the opioids have melted the portion of Governor Swill's brain that
used to deal with spelling the word, "larger," and should he choose to
use this word again in a future post he will again not know how to spell
it. Let's watch.

You think that it makes more sense that he was making an indirect
reference to Germany...

...or that he doesn't know how to spell a common English word...

...in a post where he correctly spells dozens and dozens of less common words...

...rather than that he just failed to type an "r" in the middle of a word?

Really?

If there are no wars he "got [you] in"

why even mention it?

Obama had eight years to get us out of any existing wars, but he didn't and yes, he did as much or more warring than Trump.

WAY more.

To wit:

The Libya Intervention (Operation Odyssey Dawn)
Date: March 2011 - October 2011.

The Action: Initiated a "no-fly zone" that quickly turned into a massive bombing campaign against the Libyan government.

The Result: The 42-year regime of Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown, and Gaddafi was killed in the street.

Casualties: Estimates vary, but the intervention resulted in thousands of combatant deaths and significant civilian casualties from both NATO strikes and the resulting civil war.

*****

The Drone Strike Escalation (Pakistan and Yemen)
Date: 2009 - 2017.

The Action: A massive expansion of the "Targeted Killing" program. In
Pakistan
alone, there were approximately 353 drone strikes during this window,
compared
to only 48 or so in the previous administration.

The Result: Thousands of suspected militants were killed, but independent monitors (like the Bureau of Investigative Journalism) estimate between 384 and 807 civilians were killed in these strikes across Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia.

*****

Operation Inherent Resolve (Iraq and Syria)
Date: August 2014 - 2017 (Ongoing).

The Action: Launched a massive air campaign (over 20,000 strikes by 2017) to combat ISIS after they seized Mosul. This involved re-deploying U.S. troops
to
Iraq and initiating direct bombings in Syria without congressional
declaration
of war.

The Result: ISIS lost its "caliphate" territory, but the cities of Mosul and Raqqa suffered near-total destruction.

Casualties: While the U.S. military reported lower numbers, Airwars estimates between 6,000 and 9,000 civilians were killed by Coalition strikes during
this
period.

*****

Operation Timber Sycamore (Syria)
Date: 2012 - 2017.

The Action: A covert CIA program authorized to arm, train, and fund various rebel groups fighting the Assad government.

The Result: Billions of dollars in weaponry (including TOW anti-tank
missiles)
flooded the region. Many of these weapons were eventually captured by or "leaked" to extremist groups like Al-Nusra Front, fueling a decade of civil war.

Casualties: The influx of high-end weaponry significantly escalated the lethality of the Syrian Civil War, which has seen over 500,000 total deaths.

*****

The "Theater Expansion" Summary

Total Countries Struck: By 2016, the administration was conducting airstrikes or special operations kinetic actions in seven countries simultaneously: Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, and Pakistan.

The 2016 Peak: In the final full year of the administration , the U.S.
dropped
an estimated 26,171 bombs across these theaters.

*****

The Targeted Killing Doctrine

The Policy: Formally codified the "Disposition Matrix" (the "Kill List") and the use of Signature Strikes, where individuals could be targeted based on patterns of behavior rather than specific identity.

The Result: This shift moved the U.S. from a traditional "boots on the
ground" war footing to a "remote warfare" model, which significantly lowered the threshold for initiating strikes in non-combat zones like Yemen and Somalia.

No refutation provided.

Noted.

Thank you.

Trolls like rich kid are too chicken shit to commit to refutation, in case
he gets proven wrong and has to eat crow dick:

The Primary Tactic of Ski Bunny's "Sealioning"

Sealioning is a type of trolling that consists of PURSUING PEOPLE with relentless requests for evidence or asking questions, often about tangential or minutiae points.

Rich boy ignores the "mountains of evidence" to point at a "pebble of minutiae" and demands we explain the pebble before the conversation can continue.

The Shift: Asking about "Whataboutisms" and "Red Herrings"

It's so sad... thinking that THAT'S the only way he can win... in HIS mind only, of course.

If faggot can't answer his own questions, the faggot need not ask them, because anyone smarter than him, knows better to fall for the faggot reindeer games he plays.

He's just trying to force people into a "defensive" position where they have to justify their focus, effectively moving the goalposts so he never has to acknowledge the original point.

Why does he do it, other than to be a disingenuous little faggot who KNOWS he can't refute and compete against better minds?

Recent psychological studies (including a major meta-analysis from February 2025) have consistently linked this specific style of trolling to the "Dark Tetrad" of personality traits:

Ever wonder why trolls like ski bunny and Rudy keep coming back for more
after you insult them? They're sadists, who don't CARE that they've been made fools of... they love and NEED the attention they never got from mumsy and
da.

It's "Ordinary People", "LoTR: Return of the King", "Stand By Me" and
"Legends of the Fall" all over again. Methinks he has unresolved issues with the types of problems, like survivng when brother didn't, like those in the movies mentioned.

Everyday Sadism: This is the biggest predictor. These individuals experience genuine schadenfreude (pleasure from others' misfortune... AND THEIR OWN!).

They aren't trying to be right; they are trying to make it SEEM he's
refuting, when in fact he's not... he's just sowing doubt, and the ONLY one who fall forthat shit, are those on HIS "side". Your "LOL" or angry response is his "reward signal."

Narcissism: Trolls often feel powerless or overlooked in their real lives. By derailing a conversation on a public forum like Usenet, they exert what they THINK is control.

Forcing a knowledgeable person to answer their "stupid" questions provides a hit of ego-boosting power.

Nope...

Trolls like rich kid are too chicken shit to commit to refutation, in case he gets proven wrong and has to eat crow dick:

"Sealioning"

This is likely what we're seeing. Sealioning is a type of trolling that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence or asking questions, often about tangential or minutiae points.

Rich boy ignores the "mountain" to point at a "pebble" and demands we explain the pebble before the conversation can continue.

The Shift: "Whataboutism" and Red Herrings

When he asks, "How is Iran any different than Korea?" after making the point about attacking Iran because of decades of terrorism... he's using Whataboutism he and other libertards SAY that hate. So... hypocrisy's in the mix too.

North Korea and Iran have NOTHING to do with each other, so, sowing doubt by asking irrelevant and conflating questions makes faggot rich kid feel like he's WINNING!

So sad, thinking that's the only way he can win, in his mind only, of course.

Ski bunny isn't actually interested in the differences in why we attacked
Iran and not North Korea... he wants you to try and answer a question that there is no answer to, unless you know those in charge of making these dicisions personally and can get THEIR input. He knows this is impossible,
so, in HIS mind it's just another "I WIN!" situation. He's trying to force
you into a "defensive" position where you have to justify your focus on Iran, effectively moving the goalposts so he never has to acknowledge your original point.

Why He Does It?

Recent psychological studies (including a major meta-analysis from February 2025) have consistently linked this specific style of trolling to the "Dark Tetrad" of personality traits:

Everyday Sadism: This is the biggest predictor. These individuals experience genuine schadenfreude (pleasure from others' misfortune AND his, as long as he's being paid ANY attention).

He isn't trying to be right; he's trying to frustrate. An "LOL" or angry response is their "reward signal."

Narcissism: Trolls often feel powerless or overlooked in their real lives. By derailing a conversation on a public forum like Usenet, they exert control. Forcing a knowledgeable person to answer their "stupid" questions provides a hit of ego-boosting power.

Hyper-Pedantry

Ski Bunny Rich Kid focuses on a single, irrelevant grain of sand because he's blind to the desert.

He thinks moving the goalposts and changing the topic, BOTH of which HE accuses others of doing, will give him that all-elusive "I WIN!".

He can't handle the "Big Picture" math, so they cling to a single "What if?" like a life raft.

The "Rhetorical Cowardice" (The Pivot):

When he answers a fact with a question, it is a confession of defeat.

Every time he asks "what about... how is this different than...?" or pivot to the minutiae, he's admitting he cannot refute the data.

He's essentially "running out the clock." It's the digital equivalent of a child sticking their fingers in their ears and screaming "Why?" because they lost the game five minutes ago.

The Psychological "Basement": Why They Exist

Recent studies on "Online Firestorm" behavior and "Antisocial Personality Traits" (Dark Tetrad) suggest these individuals suffer from:

Insignificant Ego Compensation: He feels small in his real life... perhaps ignored at work or by family. On Usenet, by "forcing" a smart person to acknowledge them, he feels a fleeting sense of relevance. He isn't
"trolling"; he's begging for attention in the most annoying way possible.

Asking a tangential question isn't a rebuttal; it's a white flag.

If you can't find a flaw in the numbers faggot, just say so.

I don't have the time or the crayons to explain the difference between a single intercept and a mass-scale conflict to you again. Stick to the topic
or stay in the PLONK! pile.

PLONK!
