Music Lovers! Unite in helping Ukraine!


We are fortunate to live in countries that allow us to pursue financial success. I believe most of us on here has attained that to a degree that we are living relatively comfortably.

The Russian military is beginning to utilize all the massive firepower at its disposal. Since their offensive has bogged down, they are changing tactics. Their new tactic is to surround a city and shell it indiscriminately, inflicting as much human misery as possible. A rocket, missile and artillery shell doesn’t care if you are a soldier, old woman, or an infant. Neither does Putin.

When they unleash it like they did in Syria, it will be a humanitarian catastrophe not seen since the Second World War. Death and destruction on a massive scale.

Please, consider giving to a charitable organization to help.

We have so much. Give some of it to whom it will literally make a difference between living and dying. You will be saving a life. A life of someone loved. Just as you love.

This is the charity I used, but there are several more of your choice. International Red Cross, Save the Children, CARE, to name a few.

Please, let’s all do what we can to help.

Please, our president deserves our support. When it comes to international events, we should be united.

Seriously? You believe that American citizens should mindlessly support the policies of their President? Did you advocate that approach prior to the 2003 Iraq war?

Today, world leaders are dealing with an unhinged nuclear superpower invading a neighboring sovereign country.

You are regurgitating rank propaganda. And, by your response, I can only assume that you were equally eager to support the disastrous Iraq war.

Try to access some alternative sources of information, as you are falling prey to perhaps the most widespread, coordinated propaganda campaign ever waged.

Its truly unfortunate that some hop onto a thread and “contribute” with the sole intent to drive the thread into the ground, hoping beyond hoping to get the thread deleted. I do agree that moderating can be difficult although it doesnt have to be…moderating from the slippery slope is tough vs moderating from the high ground.

Your first comment is an obvious straw man, unless you are referring to posters other than @serjio and me. We have simply been responding to mainstream narrative propaganda with counterpoints and facts, which brings me to the second point. Moderating from "high ground" would minimally entail removing parts of your posts, and others, which include cartoonish propaganda.

Russia just arrested American basketball player Brittney Griner at an airport. She will now be used as a pawn. Let's hear your BS now

Thank you for confirming just how easily you consume and regurgitate propaganda.

Griner was arrested in February after she was purportedly caught with hash oil in vaping cartridges while going through customs at an airport.

Feel free to seek out further, related facts, and debate their ramifications.

Please stop digging. You said:

Yes, she was arrested last month and all she had were vape cartridges, not hash oil.

That assertion is false, and there are no reported claims by Griner or her supporters suggesting otherwise.

Do you really imagine that they wouldn’t be shouting it from the rooftops if the claim were false?

Only one us is resorting to ad hominem attacks, and it isn't me. I have consistently produced facts in support of my positions.

 

Yes, she was arrested last month and all she had were vape cartridges, not hash oil.

Wrong again, according to the New York Times, etc. Vape cartridges containing hashish oil were reportedly found in her luggage. It’s mentioned in every report that I’ve found. And, while it appears to be from the official Russian report, I have seen no claims by Griner or her supporters that it is false.

American intel already said she will be framed as a drug dealer.

Ah, well then, it must certainly be true. No need to wait and see what actually happens with the case, right?

The irony of you accusing others of "supporting a narrative" is frighteningly deep.
