    What Matters:
    Russia under Putin massed its military on the border of a sovereign nation launched an invasion -- a war of conquest. That is a crime against peace.
    Russia is already paying for it. Putin will eventually pay for it.

    What Does Not Matter:
    Whether or not coverage of any given atrocity is real or contrived war propaganda is irrelevant at this point.

    But the link does not say that. That is Patricio Da Silva's invention.

    I see your point, but your point misses the point of the title, because title implies the fact that Trump is praising an evil man, by referring to him as a 'genius'.

    Killing children isn't 'genius', by any reasonable standard.

    Inventing the atomic bomb, is, which is an evil device.

    Do you see the difference?

    What I find amusing is the bizarre length you will go to defend an evil man, and I'm referring to Trump, not Putin.

    What you should learn to do is grasp the meaning of words. The title does not say that, and so, I'll give you the same reply I gave to another, modified slightly to conform to your response, who made a similar false allegation:

    http://www.politicalforum.com/index...ves-putin-is-a-genius.597784/#post-1073310007

    The headline reads:

    Russia attacks maternity ward, Trump still believes Putin is a 'genius'.


    Given that Trump, when hours ago photographs produced which are incontrovertible evidence of Putin's war crimes, a situation which beckons for the Putin-admiring Trump to go on TV and immediately renounce Putin, he has failed to do it, and by that omission, it is reasonable to conclude Trump still believes Putin is a 'genius', given that is the descriptor Trump recently ascribed to Putin, which is all that the headline suggests (as opposed to what you think it does). Also note that the headline is contingent upon 'at this juncture it is a reasonable conclusion', as Trump still may renounce Putin, and I would like to see an apology made to the American public, as well, which I doubt he will do.

    I also would like to see an apology from you for your accusation of me being a classless liar, as you've not supplied any evidence of it.

    The photographs reveal incontrovertible evidence of war crimes, injured pregnant women, blood stained mattresses, maternity ward in shambles, not an isolated missile, but the entire facility in shambles, indicating deliberate, prolonged and willful destruction. The death count has yet to be reported, not to mention children are dying for the deliberate shutting down of water supplies.

    And, this, done hours ago, not one word from Trump expressing his shock, dismay and renunciation of his buddy, Putin.

    You might have an ounce if you explain the reasoning for your claim.

    Until then, you comment is dismissed.

    In Trump's case, it most certainly does, as it is recorded fact he has heaped praise on Putin, time after time, so it is reasonable to conclude Trump is heaping praise on Putin for calling him a 'genius'.

    I'm not making it up, if that is what you think, as this article has noted, as well:

    https://www.theguardian.com/comment...-putin-have-superfans-among-the-us-right-wing

    And, when you use thermobaric bombs, you do not get to claim 'collateral damage'.

    I can really cut to the chase here and point out that in the fullness of time, all of the brazen lies being told by the kremlin and then being parroted by russian media, chinese media and a number of whacked-out, angry, ill-informed, arrogant, ignorant, unpatriotic, treacherous right wingers in the USA will be debunked, one after the other.

    The whackadoodles are now claiming that the Ukrainians blew up their own hospital and that the one pregnant woman filmed being carried out of the rubble was a "crisis actor".

    The whackadoodles (including, of course because why the hell not, Hannity and Tucker) are also claiming that we, the USA, are creating bio weapons in labs in the Ukraine. That is by far, to date, the most perfide lie of all of them, especially considering the fact that in the documents from 1991 and 1994, it was established that the USA and its allies would monitor the former soviet labs and dismantle any dangerous bio weapons, which we did in Georgia, Uzbekistan, Tadzikistan and in the Ukraine.

    Every single kremlin lie will be called out by me and in the future, I will confront all of the member here in PF who keep on spreading this propaganda, without facts, without sources, knowingly doing the bidding of a very, very evil empire.

    Christ almighty, Rep. Cawthorne just called Zelenskyy a "thug". What a ****ing idiot, that poser. This is how deep the "Right" has sunk. Mo Brooks might as well go ahead and teach Cawthorne the Soviet National anthem.

    The lies being spewed by Mad Vlad Poot4brains must be debunked so thank you for starting this initiative, Stat.

    And yes, those in America who are repeating those egregious lies must also be taken to task and called out.

    This will NOT end well for Russia and neither will it end well for those that support Russia IMO.

    Who have I defended?

    Me pointing out that a genius can be either or good is more honest than your dishonest misleading title.

    Didn't say you were making anything up in relation to the hospital being hit .. I told you .. this is what happenes in war.

    Your claim that "you don't get to claim collateral damage" when using big bombs" is false. While I agree that you should not get to .. the fact remains that you do get to .. or .. at least the US does .. as they do it all the time .. even during non war times .. targeted drone assassinations .. you name it. What do you think they are dropping on "the bad guys" firecrackers ?

    Atrocity 100 times that of anything Russia has done thus far.. So what I am calling out is the hypocrisy of the Media Clownshow and associated political/bureaucratic pundits.

    The civilian deaths inflicted by Russia's bombing isn't collateral damage, it's intentional damage. It's part and parcel of Russia's strategy to attack the civilian population. It's what they did in Syria as well.

    Holy patotee Lee .. by definition "Collateral Damage" is intentional killing of civilians. This word - is Orwellian Doublespeak .. a phrase created for the purpose of deception .. "Human Sheilds" - never heard of those .. and the purpose of invoking that phrase is ? ..........."cause we want to justify intentional killing of civilians" but not actually say that it was "Intentional killing of civilians"

    Told you -- down the dark path of deciet and deception .. gobbling up that propaganda -- false narratives .. and Lies.

    and quit pretending you have the first clue about Syria -- but that is another matter.. way down the road .. first you need to figure out what the word you are claiming to understand means "Collateral Damaga" .

    He should have used the term pathological genius, though it doesn't take a genius to bomb a hospital. It takes a monster.

    The opposite is true.

    Definition of collateral damage
    : injury inflicted on something other than an intended target specifically : civilian casualties of a military operation.

    Nonsense. If anything, he was insulting Biden, and in no manner shape or form does the use of the term genius act imply support. You are living in an alternate reality where your leftist echo chamber has you convinced of things that simply are not true.

    You just make things up and hope they stick. I'm afraid that since you've failed to NOT mention being inappropriate with cats that you may be labeled a cat inappropriator. I can see why you took this route, makes it so easy to drop total lies on anyone and everyone.

    Quit decieving yourself .. what part of Orwellian Doublespeak - did you not get ..

    So Lee -- there is a building - in an apartment in that building is "A Bad Guy" With The Bad Guy .. are his wife and numerous children.

    Bad Guy is intended target .. so you drop a 1000 lb bomb on the building taking out Bad Guys family - and a whole bunch of other faimilies in apartments surrounding area.

    Just because these civilians were not the "Intended Target" .. does not mean the other deaths were unintentional .. they knew the people were there .. and they dropped a 1000 lb bomb on them. Rather than a sniper bullet .. then cry "Human Shields" as justification for this intentional killing of civilians

    Wrong Lee .. all this time you have been sucking in this propaganda because you didn't take a moment and try to think for yourself.

    What you should learn is to not make things up and hope no one notices your glaring mistakes. You clearly lied and continue to run down that path, expecting others to just let your lie die off. Sadly, several people have caught your lie and called you out.

    I'll await your apology since trump never said anything about putin being a genius for bombing children. You lied about that and called it an "omission" but we all know what you did.

    You should get your "I'm sorry for blatantly lying" boots on and show remorse for such poor behavior.

    There are a couple of guidelines that are relevant.

    1) Know your enemy. Again, that is acknowledging that Putin is intelligent regardless of his evil intentions.

    2) Never underestimate your enemy. Calling Putin a genius is saying he an adversary worth fearing.

    I can add a third which appears to be necessary. Don't be afraid to state the first two even though they might be intentionally misinterpreted.

    All that said, I believe Putin really blew it. He underestimated the Ukrainian's resolve and overestimated his own army's ability.
