Did you not understand that Democrat George McGovern lost in a huge landslide to Vietnam war-monger Nixon? And this after a decade of American failure in Vietnam? Americans learn slo-o-o-o-w-ly and every successful politician knows the majority of voters are slow witted. The majority of voting Americans want war. Remember after 9/11? It was like Pearl Harbor, except all the Japanese attackers died, excluding Emperor Hirohito. All the terrorists died, excluding Osama bin Laden, but 90% of Americans wanted a war. What Bush did next made zero practical sense, but perfect political sense because the majority of voters were behind him in the stupidest American wars ever fought, excluding Vietnam. The majority of politicians in both parties followed the strong preferences of the majority of voters.

No! The people who have sold their votes in exchange for nothing are the average American voters, not the politicians. (Side note: the Top 1% know exactly what they want and they untiringly and clearly communicate that very short and simple list to Congress, which is why they get it, while the lower 50% don't get too many of their complex, difficult requests.) Average Americans don't get what they want from Congress because the majority of voting Americans both want far too much and yet don't know what they want in detail, except when it is war. That they get from both parties and the President. The voters don't know what they want about Ukraine, so they will get whatever Trump feels like dishing up.

Radio Lemberg. "Lemberg" is the German name for Lviv, AKA Lvov, AKA Lwow.

Lviv is the largest city in western Ukraine,

So, some Ukrainian radio is telling us ... AGAIN ... that Russia is going to "invade"?? I've been hearing about that anticipated "massive invasion" since 2014.

This wouldn't have anything to do with the upcoming elections in March, and Poroshenko having something like an 8% approval rating, would it?

Signym, do you sense a conspiracy where Poroshenko, to improve his approval rating, orders Ukraine ships to capture Russian ships?
Or was it Putin, to improve his ratings, orders Russian ships to capture Ukraine ships?
It is so hard to understand who did what to who . . . Or maybe it is not hard:
Russia Seizes Ukraine Ships, Captures Two Dozen Sailors

So what you're saying is that after the Democrats lost the presidential bid in 1972, they sold their principals for votes?

He lives close enough to hear the station on his home radio. St. Petersburg isn't really that far away.

That's at least the second occasion where you've referred to Sigs as a man.

Perhaps you would feel it misogynistic to talk to her the way you do if you realized she was a woman?

I know a lot more about Afghanistan and Brazil than you do, too. It doesn't mean I live there.

Or, as the old saying goes ..."Don't mistake your ignorance for my intelligence".
