Patrick I don't think the personal attacks on Jack are appropriate. At least those of us questioning his motives or views, is something Jack can defend. Even if he choses not to. He shouldn't have to defend mean stuff said about him, his wife and his dog.

Do you really believe it’s Jack that’s posting?

Does it matter?

People shouldn't pile on. If you're annoyed by somebody, just ignore them.

Yes I do, I know people who plead politically neutral, but still love rattling my cage, by hitting me with woke tidbits.
They don't like defending nor discussing it, they just like to drop it off, then plead the fifth.

I agree. I'm going to mark personal comments as personal.

Yes, this.

No option to ignore. I only see the ignore option when people reply to threads

If you think you're being trolled, just ignore them.

The purpose of trolling isn't to convince you, it's to get you to respond because you fear what they say will convince somebody else.

Do you really think anybody here isn't set in their ways? I don't think I am, but it takes a hell of a lot to change my mind. I think "mostly reader" trolls me, and he does rattle my cage a little bit, but without him explaining, in detail, why he thinks I'm wrong, I just assume he feels he can't convince me. I believe he's outraged just because I see an inevitable conclusion to the Ukraine / Russian war, and he confuses that for something I WANT to happen.

What I really want to happen, is that the US gets a bloody enough nose, they stop fucking with other nations for the benefit of a criminal syndicate in our government, and at the expense of nearly every American. I was glad to see the humiliation of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, I have (perhaps the naive?) hope that if they are humiliated enough, they'll stop doing this shit, but they seem to be absolutely shameless. Maybe Americans will get pissed off though enough to pay some goddamned attention.

Here's a question, 10 years ago, did you even know for certain the US was at war with Afghanistan still? I had to look it up to find out.

Here's a question - are we still at war in Syria? The media NEVER mentions it.

I know we're still supporting the Sa'uds against Yemen.

I'm not positive we're still fucking around in Somalia.

I try to keep up with this shit, and there's a total blackout on some information. Did you even know we were bombing Somalia at one point? I imagine we are because I believe that's part of the war with Yemen.

I think we're still in Syria because, officially, they are still in a "civil war" according to Wikipedia. I happen to know that we fund one of those sides, the "moderate rebels". I think once we captured the oil fields, the US media just dropped it, because mission accomplished.
