And, again and again.

This is what distinguishes useful people from the useless. Those who can cooperate and contribute from those who can’t. Some of the cuts involve intelligence, but more of them involve character, and character in many aspects.

The core of western civilization is engineering. And engineering is a collective endeavor that rests on both brains and character. I have been lucky to have participated in a couple of the “big engineering” fields, and to have led many good men, and some women, in that. And I have of course learned a great deal from that.

So take that for what its worth, and take a very good look at yourself.

You tried to make them identify as Greek princesses. I understand your frustration, but now you can live the life you always envisioned thanks to engineers!

Your arrogance has blinded you. I'm 63 y/o. I retired @ 54 y/o. Guess what I spent my technical career doing. Cleaning up projects that stupid engineers such as yourself turned into a crapfest. Stuff it twit.

Geriatric teenagers [who slept through high school and the Cold War] is the most apt term I can find for you lot.

I cannot look up De Toqueville and connect from there to the text of “Democracy in America”,

AH, you forgot the great look up literary source that connects people and books:

Because I am Spanish, now retired in Spain. I was born Spanish and I will die Spanish

You can have your huge country, and I can have my little one.

Anti-American vomit, from a guest who feels it necessary to denigrate American citizens. Thank you for fully exposing yourself.

Ukrainian forces outside the battered eastern city of Bakhmut are managing to keep Russian units at bay so ammunition, food, equipment and medicines can be delivered to defenders, the army said on Saturday.

It's a trap to impose maximum destruction on the WEF/US/NATO/Ukraine fighting force.

“”I understand 1000s of Polish troops have entered the fray. How stupid.””

Why do you post things that know aren’t true?

For a long while, you kept posting that “Bakhmut has been liberated It’s over”, or “Now that Bakhmut has fallen”.

It seems you have no idea of what is going on in Ukraine since you think Bakhmut fell long ago and that Polish troop masses are currently fighting there.

Are the masses of Polish troops fighting in Bakhmut to take it back, or to prevent Russia from taking it?

The foreign troops in Bakhmut aren’t fighting. They’re nothing more than NATO artillery targets. Please join me in bringing them home.

While Western officials continue to cling to the delusional belief that Russia is making small progress, we have yet to see a single instance in the last six months of Ukraine pushing the Russians back on these points of attack. The reason is simple — Ukraine lacks the manpower, the ammunition supplies and the logistics to carry out such an operation.

###

Officials in the West and in Ukraine continue to insist that a counter-attack is coming. I have to assume this is a desperate psychological operation. I find it difficult to believe that responsible military leaders and planners would be publicly tipping their hand about what they intend to do and where they intend to strike. General Eisenhower and General Montgomery did not blather on in the press about their upcoming invasion in Normandy. They obfuscated their moves and made masterful use of deception. Ditto for Marshal Zhukov and General Konstantin Rokossovsky in their planning and execution of Operation Bagration.

I think the United States and its NATO partners are making a deadly mistake in underestimating Russian intelligence about the disposition and readiness of Ukrainian forces. What is clear is that the Russians are not saying anything about their plans for destroying the Ukrainian Army. But I am certain that such plans exist and are being executed according to a schedule dictated by Russ

Oh yeah, that one. The only things he’s good at are pretentiousness and condescension.

There’s only one other poster on FR who is as pompous and insufferable as Buwaya and that guy is a foreigner too. (Hint: He likes vaccines and cruises.)

The Spaniard despises US, and I’m glad I got him to openly admit it. I didn’t know our Florida Cruiser was an alien (I assume that’s who you mean)
