trying to understand your enemy?
I read Fox almost every day to see what BS the right-wingers are up to. Doesn't mean I have to adopt anything they say.
It's smart to understand the opposition so we can take it apart when confronted with the BS.

I'm really only asking because I wouldn't want to get tripped up on that one.

completely understand that, especially if it were someone posting without context or anything.
I guess I need to go back and re-read the guidelines again because I missed this part somehow.

I just think it used to be more about focusing on out message and not getting distracted by their message.

Exercise is a good stress release.

Propaganda doesn't change the fact that them and their ever-dwindling base are and
always have been in the minority. I support Ukraine and will vote to send Fascists down
the drain.

But I do think we should know how they’re framing things so we’re better prepared in conversations. Don’t” like being broadsided, either.

And yes it's lies.

But we must have an idea of the lies being told. Must know what the lies are as well as the positive and truthful side.

Know they enemy.

I like to know what they’re up to. Plus, I’m happy he got some exercise and a chance to clear his mind to be better prepared for his NATO meeting this week. I’d like to see tfg trying to balance on 2 wheels.

"Ukraine president warns of 'third world war'"
WRONG.

This is all on Putin.
PUTIN warns of 'third world war"
VLADIMER PUTIN

And Joe Biden can ride a bike if he damned well wants to.

If talks with Putin fail, then WWIII.

Most of the talk around this has the following assumptions, most of which are very charitable towards Putin.

1. Putin is cut off and believes lies and propaganda.

2. If Putin heard the truth, he'd realize he was inside an info bubble and might come around.

3. If he came around, most of the problem would be solved.

4. If he doesn't come around it means *Putin* created the irrealis bubble, so just put your legs between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye. Why?

5. Because the Ukraine Republic isn't eager to be the West's sacrifice at the alter of paranoid authoritarianism ... Again.

BYE, it's "Vladimir."

"Vlad-" means "rule." "Mir" = "world" or "peace". Most etymologies say "peace" but given current Russian, it's ambiguous.

Did they miss a chance to say he ran from criticism while retreating?

They are what they are. I do like their choice of pictures -- these are full-screen size. Now, let's see tRump's ankles. On a bicycle quick, while it's still upright.
