Still missing the point MAGONSDAUGHTER.


SIGNYM is a west hating wacko who posts a subjective mismatch of facts and falsehoods designed to further her agenda; bash the west. She has the mentality of a Troll. Nothing she posts is worth a glance past her motives for posting it. If that were to change so would my responses to her. That is very, very unlikely.

Not a teacher. Not even very good at spelling, but I get driven crazy by the misuse of 'their' and 'there' and 'your' and 'you're'. I get that we all make mistakes, but when someone can't tell the difference, it grates on me.



It's not that I can't tell the difference. It's because I am thinking of what I am typing and not so much words spelled differently yet sound the same. It's little more than a type o.

I disagree. I've had lots of interesting conversations with signy on a range of issues. She is clearly very criticial of US policy, particularly foreign policy, but she aint alone in the world on that one, bud.

I might not agree with her on a range of issues, but she's not a troll. She has strong views, which differ from your own. That's all.

Some americans can be very touchy when their country's policies are criticised. I've been called an American-hater on these boards more than once. I understand that it can feel offensive to have one's country criticised, but it's pretty important that different voices, dissenting voices are tolerated.

Fair enough.

I used to read the Independent when I lived in the UK. It was not as good as the Guardian, but a clear step above the Sun and the Daily Telegraph.

BTW "There's"


Better than Sun? Does it have a Page 3?

A good article:

"The Russian Threat Runs Out of Fuel"

http://www.project-syndicate.org/com...l-gros-2015-01

Quote:

And oil prices are not Russia’s only problem. Western sanctions, which seemed to constitute only a pinprick a few months ago, appear to have inflicted serious damage, with the ruble having lost nearly half its value against the US dollar last year. Though financial markets will calm down when the ruble’s exchange rate settles into its new equilibrium, Russia’s economy will remain weak, forcing the country’s leaders to make tough choices.

Against this background, a stalemate in the Donbas seems more likely than an outright offensive aimed at occupying the remainder of the region and establishing a land corridor to Crimea – the outcome that many in the West initially feared. President Vladimir Putin’s new Novorossya project simply cannot progress with oil prices at their current level.

To be sure, Russia will continue to challenge Europe. But no amount of posturing can offset the disintegration of the economy’s material base caused by the new equilibrium in the oil market. In this sense, the US has come to Europe’s rescue in a different way: Its production of shale oil and gas might is likely to play a greater role in keeping Russia at bay than NATO troops on Europe’s eastern borders.



It's not personal. It's just war.

Again, still missing the point MAGONSDAUGHTER.

It is my opinion that you do not get to play the role of attack dog against the west, when things are worse for people in the East and you not only deny that, but defend the East with lies and deception.

If you have not picked up on that perhaps you should pay better attention to her patterns. You miss a lot like her agenda and also what others post in response to her. Try reading the posts before thinking you understand what is being said in response to her and why.

See if you can't pick up on how she quotes sources inaccurately and weaves her own comments into the quoted text deceptively.

Perhaps you could provide some examples, given your expertise on the matter.
