@slydr68 He is a traitor but not anything to do with Russia. He and most other politicians are the puppets of big business. You need to follow the money and you will find out who will benefit the most.

@slydr68 I don’t think that Donald is in Vladimir’s pocket at all, and I don’t think they are a threat to the US either, however the US is a huge threat to world peace. Yes we all have to be scared about what the orange marmalade is going to do next.

Jolanta replies on Dec 27, 2018:

@slydr68 I am not sure that Russia and nuclear war was such a threat. Does not mean that people thought it was. It is more likely that the present president is a threat to the rest of the world. It’s highly unlikely that Russia is a threat, unless the US makes it so. And I don’t blame people for being frightened with all this propaganda going on constantly. They want us to be afraid so we don,t pay attention to what else they are doing.

@slydr68 I grew up way before you and have experience of living in different countries under different regimes, so have seen all this scaremongering for a long time now. Are you aware that the US has invaded more than 20 countries since the Second World War? When one takes that into consideration one wonders whom we should be scared of.

What makes you think that the Russians are going to wipe out the Kurds? I think it is good that the US leaves Syria. They have no business being there in the first place.

Jolanta replies on Dec 21, 2018:

@wordywalt I think the Russians will not bother and let them fight it out amongst themselves.

No, not as I see it. If I came to a table with a thousand cookies, I would know that the cookies didn't just appear out of nowhere. I would know that someone made those cookies and they belong to someone. Whoever the cookies belong to has the right to determine how they are distributed. And, ...

@sfvpool Don't delude yourself that we always have free will, we don't no matter what. Things, people and marketing is always on our backs.

It's probably a really good thing (for me) that I no longer drive.

@sfvpool "Threats" come in many disguises, very insidious it can be. We buy stuff all the time that we don't need but feel the we should have, ie, new phones or electrical gadgets, dvd's of movies we "have" to watch, restaurants we "have" to try out, etc, etc. This all regardless of free will.

News flash Syria is a sovereign country that we didn’t belong there in the first place. You should maybe look into the Turkey Qatar pipeline and you’ll see that it was about money and regime change that Israel and Saudi Arabia pushed for. Russia was actually invited by Syria and as far as ...

So the interesting thing about social media is that it's not nationalistic. Facebook is not USAbook and thus people from other countries, IMO, have every right to try to sway everyone to their point of view. This is why this debate is so difficult for me to digest. In effect, the USA is saying ...

Jolanta replies on Dec 20, 2018:

That is a very one sided way of looking at it. You are not taking into context a lot of things like media, and marketing. There is an incredible lot of rubbish being made and sold, thanks to great marketing. Stuff that we don't need and doesn't help us in any kind of way.

I've had many over the years, and hope to for many years to come. But the biggest crush I've ever had was Isabella Rossellini. It wasn't just her looks, but she has that light Italian accent which I love. I had many of fantasies and dreams about here back in the day.

You can always look up synonyms to those words and use them until there is an appropriate emoji, but in the end I would just call them morons, jerks, assholes, etc, etc.
