True.

Russia made money exporting oil and gas and we were all happy.

Now were not happy, because of the Ukraine crisis.

And blaming anything other than Vladimir Putin is stupid.

It's just not an argument about fuel demands and Green Energy evolution.

It's about backward thinking old style Soviet ideology and paranoia, from an aging despot.

I read that article.

If the finance company admitted fault after the event, then the repossessor was still going about their legitimate business.

Assaulting the repossessor was unwarranted and illegal.

So where's all that oil you need going to come from?

And how would  not buying oil have stopped the Russians in their tracks?

Russians have got all the armour and fuel that they need to keep their tracks going.

It's the U.S. that needs the oil....Because as you say, you are not energy independent.

And Green energy is just not a relevant issue.

You are making stupid arguments for the sake of stupid arguments.

And #43

Your words.

Neither mine nor a Russian dude's.

If a GOD creates and is omni-everything.

Then it would be logical to suggest that everything is as a GOD planned it, or that a GODS plans were fallible.

And you're picking and choosing, but all four adjectives would apply.

Though if a GODS creation fails and throws doubt onto their omni-credentials, why are mere humans sinners?

Everything is either the fault of A GOD or not.

A picking and choosing GOD, is an unreliable and untrustworthy GOD.

Blaming humanity, for a GODS own errors of judgement and creation, is downright selfish.

When did I "blame Putin for Americas weakness".

It's you that perceives American weakness.

I blame Putin for the ongoing catastrophe that is Ukraine.

So in your mind what should Joe have done differently?

Same old dead Russian cannon fodder too.

Such is war Russian style.

The folly and the temporary fall of man for sure.

But Russia could have sold oil and not invaded Ukraine.

Wouldn't that have been an easier option?

Putin's NATO fears are just fantasy, that fuels his paranoia and his nostalgia for the old days of the USSR.

No idea what you're on about now guvner.

You seem somewhat confused.

You're back tracking on your Biden and oil argument.

Now agreeing that that the U.S's insatiable oil appetite is what it is.

And Russian misinformation is to always be expected.

And Green Energy?

The bottom line is that Russia just  invaded the sovereign territory of Ukraine.

Essentially one mans war.

And you're trying to make political gain out of it.....I think.

So What would Donald have done?

In your head Doc.

Not in everyone's head though.

Younger generations regard today as normal.

You're just stuck in the past.

Very much like Putin.

Same old ridiculous argument.

The fall of  Ukraine.

Is a direct result of the selfishness and paranoia of one person, namely Putin.

The U.S's insatiable desire for oil, is the result of the U.S. peoples insatiable desire for oil.

Trying to Blame Joe Biden  for the actions of Putin is a ridiculous argument.

But no more than one expects from narrow minded conservatives, trying to make political gain out of an ensuing humanitarian catastrophe.

Nah.......Really?

So what about the bloke and the big floating Zoo?

Assaulting people is unethical.

Especially assaulting someone trying to go about their legitimate business.

Your pathetic squabble about a car is not comparable with slavery and the holocaust.

It's sort of an amazing coincidence that there was all of this black stuff hidden down there waiting to power a specific phase of material evolution.

Intelligent design some might say.

Not that I'm suggesting that it was really necessary to nail a bloke to a post for my sins.

Though I am currently a firm advocate of evolutionary destiny.

And I'm still judicially out on whether the human species will be along for the whole journey.

You wouldn't expect an Omnibloke to need a book.

He should at least have a smartphone.

But hey...Smartphones in 4283

In a museum maybe.

Somewhere in another Solar system.

A virtual museum though.

I wonder if GODDO will come have a look.

I doubt it.

I think that he got lost.

Dodgy Sat-Nav.

You also have people who thought that Trump was cool.

Americans still dream.

Whilst you have a finance agreement in place the vehicle remains the property of the finance company. Who can repossess said vehicle at any time.

Legally, it is not your car.

So as long as the random dude was repossessing said vehicle as directed by and on behalf of the finance company.....Then said random dude was not stealing your car.

They were legally, repossessing the property of the finance company....Irrespective of the any mistake that might have occurred.

The bottom line is, that violence was not justifiable.

A paranoid maniacal despot invades the sovereign territory of the Ukraine, in a fashion not seen since the last paranoid maniacal European despot invaded Czechoslovakia in 1939.

And you make it out to be a Green Energy issue.

The only similarity that there is with U.S motoring...Is that you're a dipstick.

Trump supporter then.

Of course Jesus sinned.

That's why the Romans nailed him to a post.

And then there was all that Man on Man activity.

Though recreational sex  isn't actually a sin.

Can't be, because GOD f**cked virgins, the old hypocrite.

And Mankind and Elves joined forces to defeat the forces of darkness.

Oh, and throw in the odd ethereal wizard, clad in white robes with flowing white hair and beard.

Sound familiar kids?

Yep.... Another fantasy tale.

Most Americans are Europeans.

By the logic of Incel.

I own you.

If the logic of your argument is based solely upon language.

The U.S is English speaking.

So I own you.

And the Spanish and the Portuguese own most of Central and Southern America.

France and the U.K. jointly own Canada.

We also own Australia and New Zealand.

Etc Etc.

Though if I own you, I think that I will gift you to Mr Putin.

Why do you feel the need to debate privately?

If you just want to chat and discuss issues privately, then utilise the private messages function.

Debating is a more formal function, open to scrutiny and voting.

It's all electro-chemically inspired data processing.

So in essence all the same thing.

But in respect of said processing...We are therefore able to sub-categorise output.

Still a body though.

And still a battery.

Both lacking energy.

What's up Doc.

You've become one crazy mixed up kind of a guy.

And who's fault is that?....Nope not LGBT....But the Roman Catholic Church, a repressed upbringing and ultimately your own. 

It's 2022 Doc, not 1962, society moved on and you're still stuck in the past.

Same as your hero Putin it would seem.

I think that there were rather a lot of bad apples. Doc.

Yep.

That's what I've been saying.

Batteries are batteries even if they cease to function as a power source.

Sexual repression f**ked the Roman Catholic Church.

As the Bishop said to the Choirboy.

Everyone is real.

Until such a time,

When they expire,

And degrade.

Like it or not,

Putin is also real,

And Russian,

And will expire and degrade, 

Soon enough.

As will millions of others.

Battery suggests a little cylindrical object that I put in my torch.

The same little cylindrical objects that sit on my windowsill waiting to be recycled.

I do not think of the energy that they once contained.

For sure...Not betrayal but an empathy that transcends the escarpment of reality.

Curved air bereft of curved membrane, saturates the horizon, with prism shattered colour.

As the new one rises and the old one falls, in triple time.

Dearth, death and indignity.

Whilst the two headed man gazes North and South, East and West, patient crow ready to pick eyes tired gazing in a moment.

And the vampire Earth sucks all life blood out of the bird butchered corpses.

And when it can no longer be recharged the battery will remain....But uncharged.

As the battery is just the container.

Of course the container might eventually be broken down or even recycled.....It is at this point that the battery will cease to exist.

Just like when you die (run out of life), your body will still remain until such time as it decomposes or is cremated.

You are the container of your life.

True.

But you and I both know that the Sun is a Star.

And not some floaty about bloke with a light switch.

Exactly

But you can recharge a battery.

Depends upon whether one wants ones testicles removed or not.

That was a genuine random thought.

It cannot be proved that a GOD exists.

And how would conservatives teach kids Doc?

I know, I know,

A good thrashing from the Nuns never did anyone any harm.

Do I have a Bible.

Yep when debating, I have the dictionary.

So I know what an axiom is.

And I also know that Giraffes cannot find suitable swim suits.

This is not an axiom.

Yep. But look at the U.S. track record since WW2.

And I don't remember the Afghanis attacking the U.S.

And neither do I remember Cambodia, Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, Syria or Libya attacking the U.S.

Afghanistan was just a knee jerk reaction to the Twin Towers attack, and I don't suppose that their was one Afghani involved. 

More than likely Saudi sponsored terror.

But the U.S. was never going to invade Saudi Arabia was it.....Too much economic interest.

Undoubtedly.

Survival of the intellectually fittest.

Though currently the fittest still need armies of moronic thugs.....So keep feeding them and make them feel special and wanted.

But if they get a bullet in the head, stick them in a bag, send the little heroes home to mummy, forget about them, and move on.

Still plenty of morons available, looking for a free meal and guns to play with.

Such is the ongoing and unchanging necessity of the thinking species.

Nope you don't get it.

Ceases to function as an electrical power source.

The battery still remains functional.....Can be recharged with energy, or used for artistic purposes as described.

Always recycle spent batteries responsibly.

The other buzz word is expansionism Doc.

And then there is the phrase, ageing megalomaniac.

But what is it that I don't understand about "buffer zone" Doc?

Perhaps the U.S. should invade Northern Mexico just to be sure.

Ruskies a bit tougher to f**k with, than Afghan pomegranate farmers?

All ten a penny axioms buddy.

It's all semantics at the end of the day buddy.

And you have a corrupted understanding of English semantics.

Along with a World View, corrupted by your conditioning.

Such is how society functions though.

Absolutely.

Though whether this is still the case would be difficult to say.

And I refer not to the financially poor, but to the intellectually poor.

Ha Ha.

It's you and in perfect prose.
