Newsmax calls in an analyst.

[ironglow]

.
  While catching the news on Newsmax morning, they held an interview; an analysis by Dr. Charles Morgan, longtime consultant for military and governments.

  H reviewed this short(46 seconds) speech by Vladimir Putin.

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGDuM6U0RDM

  The doctor concluded that Vlad is not mad..he is not "crazy".., but more likely he is a powerful, rich narcissist who simply cannot take "NO" for an answer.

  Dr  Morgan said Putin is not likely to back down, that he will likely have to be 'put down',
  by the either by the Russian people , a combine of nations..or possibly the complete failure of the Russian economy.

  That is what I drew from Dr, Morgan's analysis..take it or trash it..

That description pretty much fits old man Bush, and his offspring GW. Both he'll bent on inflicting their will on smaller less powerful countries.

Combined, they were able to start two wars with a combined count of almost 40 years. Hundreds of thousands of Afghans. And Iraqi citizens killed,  and several thousand united states soldiers killed, and maimed for life.

And both wars in the end. Lost!

  That Corn Pop guy sure sounds like a 'clear and present danger'.

In Joe's mind, yeah they're the same threat.

Btw, we're an aging bunch of guys on this forum.
I think we will see likewise more and more cyber-senility from certain posters; rude personal attacks, trashing, hate, and uncontrolled lashing out.  I mention this as my lady friend's husband has rapidly been overwhelmed with a form of dementia. Once a very pleasant mannered guy, now foul mouthed,  unaware, and a physical handful to deal with. Same with Joe.
.

LMAO, thank goodness you would never stoop to such tactics.

   To be fair, over about 20 years, TM and I have agreed/disagreed over many subjects, but I doubt you will find an instance of character assassination or name calling between us.

  I can only speak from my experience, of course..
   
I think that is just our style of engagement,   ..That simply because when the character  attacks or name calling begin, any hope for constructive dialog vanishes..            ...Just an observation..

Presenting "St Ironglow" and "St TM7". Never insulting, never condescending, and never wrong.

Perfection Personified!

Have you forgotten about following over to my Texas threads, and making your sarcastic posts? Playing the innocent victim doesn't suit you.

I remember  posting some erstwhile  opnion and you true to your nasty bully crappy nature  immediately attacking me. Only sarcastic remarks I made were in defense to your relentless personal attacks.  You might get away with being a hump with family and friends if you have any, but as far as I'm concerned you don't have much to offer and can take a hike. Trying to talk or reason with you is like trying to talk to a drunk woman with a barage of hissy fits. Just a waste of time. Get some help if you have a problem.

.HAVE a nice day.
.

LOL, yeah I forgot. It was all my fault. 

[ironglow]

 Frankly, I cannot recall ever having resorted to name calling of insulting you, you will have to show me.

   I didn't insult Texas either..having lived an downed property there, I like Texas and have no desire to insult same.
     Could you have me confused with somebody else?

Well, I obviously wasn't talking to you concerning the Texas threads, but I will address your complaints directly now, once and for all..

Ironglow, as others have pointed out to you and to no avail, your condescending, down talking is as bad as any name calling.
I'm pretty positive that you're going to deny any such negativity in any way on your part, which you have always done. So I'm gonna skip your rebuttal/denial and move on hopefully, without you, as I find your constant claims of innocence annoying.
 I'm gonna withdraw from conversations of any kind with you, as we always end up with me being offensive, and you being sinless. I honestly don't enjoy any conversations evolving you, and wish you would pretend to never see my posts, cause that's what I'm gonna do. I know you won't, but that's something I can't control.

So with luck, I'll be successful in clearing my mind, and dialog of you.

I  seem to recall you called me anti American or un-American for not supporting the Ukraine.

IG...

Dee is after me again this time.
He always accuses and projects on his victims, what he is doing to them.
That's is M.O. and it's sick
.

LOL, AFTER YOU? Of course. It's my "M-O". I stalk these halls of GBO looking for: VICTIMS!

Sorry to have traumatized ya TM, see ya down the road. 

[Dee]

Yeah. I'm sure you'll be back on your cancelation patrol in short order.
.

I apologized for traumatizing you, so I expect you to lash out, and be mean spirited. You have the final word.

[Dee]

Quite apparent Dee gets his kicks trying to terrorize and traumatize people. LoL.
What a pathetic old man with a failing memory, who can't remember and be honest that he's always the instigator.  This is an example of his personal relationships. Nice guy....pity for people who have to put up with him.
.
.

It's OK. Just let all that pent up anger out. I think you'll feel better. 

[Dee]

Not anger, bud. Truth

OK "bud". I stepped back., but I think you're enjoying the attention.  I mean you followed me over to my thread about arguing, and took a shot at me there. Admittedly a weak one, but a shot nonetheless.

I liked that satirical remark concerning "truth". I know you were joking, cause I've read all these threads you've started on Pukin. Very little truth in'em.

Now, for a little "actual truth". You ignore me, and I'll return the favor.

  Although there are times when we strongly disagree, I must admit that I don't catch TM delving into ranting, name calling or unfounded accusations. He normally presents some sort of documentation that backs his contention, whether I agree or not !
  It is pointless to say..'something has to be so..because I say it is so..or I 'feel' this is right

  Come on guys, let's keep our dialog on a higher plane, digging in imagined mud and unfounded accusations, only fits class "c" politicians.  ..Besides, we all will appear smarter that way! 

  Keep this in mind, eloquence is the chief partner of intelligence;
  https://vocabularyzone.com/undeniable-link-vocabulary-iq/

      From the article, a statement by Dr Robert Sternberg at Yale;

         "“… vocabulary is probably the best single indicator of a person’s overall level of intelligence. Stated in another way, if one wants a quick and not-too-dirty measure of a person’s psychometrically measured intelligence, and thus has time to give just one brief test of it, vocabulary is generally the best predictor of overall score on a psychometric IQ test. (p. 90)”
   



 

[Dee]

You're thread on arguing is the biggest sanctimonious BS from your narrcistic warped mind yet. Doesn't get any more disingenuous.
Trying to put a halo on when you're the biggest BS instigator around. Just beyond the pale. Pathetic.
Before you started tag teaming with Lloyd you use to attack him for his Catholicism almost daily, about as low as it gets.
And don't worry Lloyd, it's guaranteed ole Dee will turn on you again, like a Pit Bull on a ham sandwich. It's his m.o.
.

Here you are, RANTING, and trying to stir more excrement? I don't have "a tag team" I am perfectly capable of disagreeing on my own. I've always considered you a bit odd, and off center, so disagreement with you from time to time has been goin on for years.
BUT! I made you an offer, and you continue to RANT. So, which do you choose?
