He sure thinks every hand he's got is a hold. And when it ain't he cheats, it seems, because he never knows when to fold, which honestly, is about now.

But hey, I hope he don't fold. If he does I'd be forced to find alternative entertainment to fill the gap he'd leave empty.

Please, next time you have the opportunity to converse with your now ex-wife, tell her buda commends her strength please.

This is why I am saying the US saying they will reject any Peace deal from China even without knowing what was on the Table is stupid.
Ben, yes, if US is "saying they will reject any Peace deal from China even without knowing what was on the Table", then that is indeed stupid.

But don't you think that if insignificant buda could very easily provide insignificant you with the "Peace deal from China" then US must obviously know what was on the table?

Or do you want to now argue that US too did not read the peace deal from China that is on the table and that I have presented for you to read?

benalvino3:
The so-called peace deal or cease fire proposal from china you posted here was Good and only a warmonger will reject it. It was neutral which is something you have not realized. Hence, you did not read your own source.
Ben, the cease fire proposal from China that i posted here was not Good for Ukraine! If it was good for Ukraine, Ukraine would have jumped to accept it, but they aren't, obviously because they, Ukraine, do not consider it good for them.

And I just happen to agree with Ukraine because it was not neutral! Ji and Putin had dinner together and cooked it up without inviting Zelenski. And there's no Russia withdraw from Ukraine in it!

benalvino3:
True, You will know if you are weaker than a bully when he is an adult that weighs 3times compared to you, he is strong and faster. Bully usually bully the weak. some stupid bullies who are weak tend to bully someone that is stronger than them but has a soft-mind.
Respect for the true. And the only way to find out if this particular bully is strong or weak is to stand up to them and see how fast they fall.

Imagine! No one thought Ukraine would still be capable of resisting the bullying might Russia was assumed to have, but here's Russia, having to find it's fighting force from inside it's prisons, lol!

Trust me, I would gladly stand up to such a bully because it's 3 times weight is seeming full of useless hot air that I and Ukraine choose not to fold before!

benalvino3:
the bold does not make sense budaatum. I have told you, you cannot have a cease fire and be shooting each other at the same time. it is impossible especially when russia is no longer in ukraine.
Ben, please pay attention. I'll put it in bold so you don't miss it please.

No, you cannot have a cease fire and be shooting each other at the same time.

Therefore, let Russia, the aggressor and first shooter first stop shooting and get out of Ukraine so your "especially when russia is no longer in ukraine", which is currently not true, becomes a true and valid statement.

If Russia stops shooting and gets out of Ukraine, I will very strongly join you in condemning Ukraine, and US and Britain and Europe if Ukraine does not cease fire and continues to shoot.

benalvino3:
You cant be fighting and have peace at the same time. when the cease-fire happens, a talk and paper signing will take place. The land or asset may be returned as a result.
So, tell the aggressor Russia to stop fighting, since it was Russia that invaded a peaceful Ukraine that is only defending itself!

Or is it your position that you should stop defending yourself when I am the one slapping you and and slapping you and slapping you Ben?

benalvino3:
But If i go by your childish Analogy, There is a reason a bully in school eats the lunch of other students. Because if they fight, they might lose more than their lunch. I am saying the US is not doing enough to help Ukraine win. this can remain a stalemate but Russia will remain intact while Ukraine turn to Desert.
There are many who would agree with you that if you fight a bully you might lose more than your lunch, but many have found out bullies are actually weaker than they present, and standing up to them is what stops them bullying you so they move in to bullying elsewhere.

Personally, I would rather fight the bully and lose my lunch, while you seem more the submissive type who would rather lose his lunch anyway so the bully keeps coming back every day for your lunch because it's easier to get than my lunch, which is why we differ in how Ukraine should respond to Russia's bullying.

benalvino3:
Ukraine Can send bombs to Russia, But why are they not doing so? Because if they do, then Russia will have excuse to level everywhere. I don't know why you don't get this. If Russia Retreat why will Ukraine not go on the Offensive knowing that the Retreat is to regroup and come back again?
No Ben. Ukraine does not send bombs to Russia nor is Ukraine going on the offensive because "Russia will have excuse to level everywhere"! Ukraine is not sending bombs to Russia because Ukraine is not the aggressor here and are only defending themselves against and from Russia!

And if there is a ceasefire whereby Russia packs themselves off Ukrainian land, Ukraine will not go on the offensive, because the Ukrainian mission to defend itself would have been accomplished. And that's apart from the fact that no country would be assisting Ukraine if Ukraine became the offensive aggressor and breaks such a ceasefire.

you didn't read your own source.
You keep believing that. But perhaps ask why I'd read what you write if I can't be bothered to read my own source which I presented for you to read after you admitted you weren't even aware existed.

benalvino3:
In order to have peace, there most be cease fire. this is common sense. you cannot have peace when fighting is still going on. this is why i left the discussion.
So, you basically ceased fire so there can be peace? Can't argue with that I guess, so long as I get to "hold a position inside your property" that I've already taken from you.

But I hope you notice how, despite your ceasefire, here I am behaving like Russia, slapping you and slapping you and slapping you all over again despite your cease fire.

benalvino3:
Hmm, is not like ukraine is on the offensive. Like i said before, Russia can just hold a position outside Ukraine and attack again anytime they feel like it. So the above quote does not make sense.
Ben, Ukraine is on the defensive. They are not on the offensive like Russia is!

Now,if Russia ceases fire and "hold a position outside Ukraine", there would be no reason for Ukraine not to cease fire, which is what I have been arguing for all along, as opposed to Russia ceasing fire inside Ukraine as China and you are proposing!

And if and when Russia "attack again anytime they feel like", we would surely both be here condemning Russia for breaking the terms of the cease fire. No?

It is not your "last chance", though, seeing it as such might be helpful so long as you realise that you always have chances while you are alive but absolutely none once dead.

However you see it, your brothers love you, and are very unlikely to forsake you if they see you are trying hard and haven't forsaken yourself.

I wish you the best of luck with your hard work and await the day you return to tell us how you overcame which I have no doubt you someday will.

I ran away or I left you alone since you can't even read your own source? What's the point when you cite something that refutes your own arguments and you are not aware of it?
Why would I not read my own source, Ben?

benalvino3:
If you are serious, you would understand that cease fire comes before peace.
"Comes before" does not make them the same thing, or does it?

benalvino3:
It was not a peace deal it was a cease fire.
Glad you finally learnt the difference.

benalvino3:
You were not making sense all through and you are always like if I beat you and this and that like it is how the situation is in Ukraine.
Be responsible and admit you don't understand instead of claiming I'm not making sense!

benalvino3:
If America cannot help Ukraine defeat Russia but help them stay in the war for eternity, then there is no point fighting. Ukraine will be a desert.
I'm just so glad this your appeasement reasoning was not what prevailed when Germany was waging war against Europe or Europe wouldn't have become the European Community but the Weimar Republic of Facist Germany!

Instead, "We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender. And even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old", as Churchill said.

benalvino3:
This is something you refuse to understand. Russia can retreat to their country, wait and recover, then come back. The cycle continues.
That is exactly what Russia will do if there is a ceasefire, except they wouldn't have to retreat to their country, which is what a proper peace deal would require, and that's why we must not let them "wait and recover" in Ukraine as the terms of China's ceasefire demand.

Thanks alot... I will try hard to ensure I write and pass the IELTS... May God help me
Personally, I would ask that you try hard enough to ensure you pass your IELTS yourself without God helping you one tiny bit, because that way you would be being 100% responsible for passing your IELTS yourself.

But I guess baby steps in your case, though ensure you work so hard that God's help becomes minimal, I would suggest, since you need to practise and learn to stand on your own feet instead of replacing your brother's feet you currently stand on with God's feet.

You should be confused. You've let your life be driven for you and have now been handed the keys to drive yourself but don't know how to drive yourself because you never learnt to drive yourself. So you sit there confused instead of getting off your ass and going for lessons to learn to drive yourself.

SilentEmma, I hope it's obvious I have no sympathy for you, because you are the one who is doing yourself while trying to blame others. The word for it is, irresponsible. And the solution is for you to become responsible for yourself instead of blaming others.

Go and get your certificate, then do the IELTS they suggested you do. Both require you being responsible for yourself, and the practise would do you some good.

true but probably the reason for such negative thoughts is because of the pressure that the family puts upon him/her to find a job and be self sufficient etc.
I see no such probability of "pressure that the family puts upon him/her to find a job and be self sufficient" in what op has said.

And in fact, op should be putting pressure on him or herself to find a job and be self sufficient, instead of allowing negative thought to stop him or her from even bothering to try!

Op is in early 30s, and is using words like failure, suicide, when in fact op is only just beginning life and should be considering and planning and working towards how he'd like to describe himself when he is 45-50 and beyond.

I think you are not hearing what they are telling you, or you don't understand what you are telling yourself, so listen carefully while I interpret you for you.

You would have become responsible for yourself but you fear becoming responsible for yourself because if you fail they will say you were responsible for yourself.

Now, you see that "rash" in yours above? That is you lying to yourself to convince yourself to continue to be irresponsible. You very well know that you are not brave enough to "take a rash decision", but will instead take time to consider carefully before you make any decision!

I was raised up to look up or rather depend on my two brothers, hence I never realized one day I will have to stand on my own as a man, my two elder brothers always provide me with clothing and shoes mostly the one they use they dash me...

I so much depended on them that I forgot about my life, I wasted my 20's and now in my early 30's the past is now hunting me...
Now you are talking. You were raised to be irresponsible for yourself and are now being irresponsible for yourself.

Thankfully, it got you through NYSC, which makes me assume you got a degree in something (what in?), which I hope you studied for yourself instead of depending on others to pass your exams for you, in which case you must have learnt something, right?

If so, perhaps use what you learnt as a springboard to start learning to be responsible for yourself. Like instead of trying to open an internet cafe that you likely can't responsibly run, go and work in someone else's internet cafe to learn how internet cafés are run.

And remember. You are not learning about internet cafés, but how to be responsible for yourself which might take a few years depending on how irresponsible you were raised to be. In the end though, you'd be much less helpless and much more responsible for yourself.
