The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Although there's lots and lots of historical examples of where a country with a smaller military has managed to get a country with a larger military to withdraw.

Sigh. I've ack'd this.

But even if you don't accept the premise that this might happen in this situation, you should stop telling people that they disagree with you that Ukraine's military is unable to physically dislodge the Russian military from Ukrainian territory. Nobody disagrees with you on that, and when you keep claiming that they do it illustrates that you either don't understand or are choosing to ignore what people are actually saying.

I find that the liberals on this board tend to ignore opinions they don't like and pretend they've never heard them before. In this thread I chose the Hammer Of Repetition to drive home the point. I reserve the right to do so in the future especially when confronted by the abject butchery of historical fact that goes on around here.


Everyone agrees that Ukraine's military cannot physically dislodge the Russian military. We disagree on whether that precludes Ukrainian victory.

And this is where we can continue the debate. I'll restrict my replies to only a couple of you since the rest are just here to fling mud.
