Leaders have to take tough decisions, When someone sworn to your eradication is about to get nuclear weapon, You do not leave them alone

The Spineless Europe left Hitler alone when he was arming up and paid for it

bemeruca:
You are the one clueless. You don't know the meaning of what you are posting. You think the US is obligated to defend or come to the aid of Ukraine. Go rest. Exposing yourself for matter you no get clue of

basilico:
Garbage.
Can't even get the president of Russia
them correctly.
The west denies it like they definitely would
"Not One Inch" Quote: On February 9, 1990, U.S. Secretary of State James Baker suggested to Gorbachev that "there would be no extension of NATO's jurisdiction for forces of NATO one inch to the east" if a unified Germany remained in the alliance.

bemeruca:
Russia is also a permanent member. Use a brain dot com is a good website you should spend your time on.

UN don't work that way. Educate yourself.

basilico:
Before that Russia had been promised that NATO wouldn't expand an inch eastwards.

bemeruca:
The UN is not the US.

Security Council is the UN. This is why I said you don't understand anything. You should be sleeping.

bemeruca:
I have, the US did not pledge to defend Ukraine, they said they won't attack ukraine or use nukes against them. Russia and the UK also pledge they won't attack Ukraine. So the assignment for you is to quote where the US claims they will defend Ukraine in a war.

This goes to show how you have comprehension problem.

bemeruca:
LordReed the bot deleted your post. And post was nonsense and have no clue of what you are asking me to read.

Why does the EU and NATO countries want the US to help contain Russia while they simultaneously reject helping US contain Iran?

It is not their War they said. Ukraine is not Americas' war too

benalvino3:
You get comprehension problem. You don't even know what I am talking about, the topic or context of what I am talking about. Another nonsensical post

When you look at the outcomes of Trump's actions, sometimes one is tempted to think that there is something to the idea that he is after all a Russian asset.

benalvino3:
Another nonsense post

benalvino3:
Lmao, try to follow before you comment or just watch and keep quiet. Thus post is embarrassing

benalvino3:
Ukraine is not NATO, Ukraine is not close to the United States geographically yet they want the US to pay for the war, weapons etc. All the EU nations were dragging their feet.

benalvino3:
You’re not getting what I mean. Sure, anyone can fly a plane, but that doesn’t mean airlines hire just anyone who can. I’m talking about hiring truly qualified pilots, the best from a pool of skilled professionals. Like it or not, DEI puts a question mark on that.

budaatum:
Seun disapproved of my response to this.

https://x.com/BudaAtum/status/2039447384925548605?s=20[/quote]LoLz! Your response made me burst out laughing.

Meanwhile have some radical gratitude coo coo coo:

benalvino3:
Yes, with fly-by-wire, anyone can fly a plane with minimal instruction. Your inputs are calculated and controlled by the computers; they correct mistakes all the time.

I said, " Anyone". Are you a pilot? If you can follow instructions, you can fly a plane

budaatum:
I'd also like to know, my Lord, so I can avoid them when next I fly, and see how they qualify to fly that plane in any countries airspace.

raumdeuter:
When did buda do that? There can be an unqualified pilot if he doesnt meet the strict criteria to get into flight school but was admitted using quotas

ono:
Well what do you know! Here comes Reed. Bros, how you dey ?

In the end, liberal or conservative, all of us na one bed we dey sleep at night. 😃😃

Maybe buda sleeps on two beds. No be so buda ?

benalvino3:
Anyone can fly a plane with minimal instructions, what raumdeuter or Charlie Kirk are talking about is if the person is the most qualified, the best from the basket or the person was selected even if they are not the best option because of their color.

This is common sense.

He was swallowed by the river goddess.

Ask for LordAdam16 not LordReed. 😂 Adam get sense, reed no get sense

My dear brother and friend.

You see, one thing I have noticed about you is that hard physical science is always required to convince you of anything. While understandable and even praise worthy in some instances, it is severely limiting because there is so much more to our experience of this reality than physical science can cover or account for. If we were limited to what physical science can account for, we would all be vastly poorer for it.

This factor has often stumped me in conversations with you because I struggle to put in words of physical science things that actually don't belong there. Things that belong in the meta physical, the spiritual and the experiential.

But think about death. Really really think about it. The challenge we have is that you see the body and the individual as one and the same. I know very well they are not the same. One is a vehicle or tool for the other. A covering for the other.

But think about it. The human beings you relate with on a daily basis are much more than flesh and blood. The faces you see are just that, masks. We have gone through this extensively on the Mind and Matter thread and arrived at no agreement so I will not bother to rehash it here.

I will only say that death presents us with the chance to see that this machine can be stopped. That it can be switched off. And that infers a measure of limitation to its function. The very fact that it can cease to experience a reality which is still going on while it has ceased tells us that it is only part of a wider programme and operation, a piece which can be taken out of that program and operation, unplugged, so to speak. And when unplugged we can see it in all its worthlessness - static and unalive on a true sense because it is unplugged from the ongoing operation. With reflection, this tells us that it was only a tool being used for a partial and particular experience of a larger program or operation and it can exhaust its time, its energy or even its usefulness. There is something inherently made up and artificial about that. An original thing would be one and the same with the operation, and incapable of being "unplugged" from it in such a manner.

In short, it would be incapable of death.

I know this will not resonate with you but it is very hard to put into the scientific words you prefer and insist on. Because it is not a matter of physical science as I said.

Moving on to the fact that it is possible to manipulate our perception.

This is an even bigger proof and it is closer to science. Dwell on it carefully.

1. What we perceive is even a limited and selected range of what is around us. We only perceive based on the capabilities fixed in our physical bodies, we see a very very very small spectrum of what is around us, we feel, smell and hear only a tiny portion as well. This is scientific fact as you know.

2. And yet the little that we perceive can easily be changed! One mushroom, one narcotic and you would be seeing and feeling completely different things! In fact your brain can be manipulated by any amount of methods including chemical methods such that you completely see or hear totally different things and even things that are supposedly non existent! This is extremely telling and demonstrates that the entire experience is changeable and this fact alone severely undermines the reality of everything. It shows that the whole thing could be and likely is a show, a sham and made up. The very fact that you can hallucinate proves this.

Let me not forget to add that I am still not asserting all the above as definite facts. This life is way too mysterious for me to do that. All I am doing is trying to let you see that many things may be possible and we cannot be limited enough to rule out much.

It is entirely possible that your life is a dream and you wake up at death on a bed somewhere else where you have been napping for just a short time and that nap was this life.

PS: Did you ever watch the movie Inception? A dream within a dream within a dream?

And have you ever had a dream and woken up to find that you were dreaming? Then woken up again to find that you were dreaming that you were dreaming and woke up?

Because it reveals just how artificial the covering of matter is. The way the body dissolves. There is something about it which shows that the whole thing is put on. I am not sure I can explain it.

I have seen many corpses but one struck me most. My cousin when she died. The corpse looked like a plastic doll. I can't get the sight out of my mind. Something about it struck me clearly and I could see how artificial the whole thing is.

I will try write what I have been meaning to write today and death will be part of it. I will expand on it.

PS: Did it mean anything to you when I referred to the fact that our perception can be easily manipulated?

This is a very very deep, poignant and apt question.

There are certain things to bear in mind. Do you remember our discussion as to whether machines/ robots could ever be self conscious? If so, you must remember the distinction made there - to wit - that a machine can be made so perfectly that it is impossible to determine if it is actually conscious or merely perfectly replicating the behavior of a conscious being.

In this same way, it must occur to us that it may well be that it is impossible to distinguish between base reality and a simulated one.

For me, however, a few pointers exist. One is death. Another is the fact that it is possible to manipulate perception. The mere fact that we can hallucinate is deeply telling. Also several paranormal things such as out-of-body experiences are telling.
