and not what I said at all.

Then you should be more precise in your wording, or refrain from personal attacks (by implying what I say is fueled by propaganda).

Here's teh logical progression you're following:

Dope says China is a threat. Dope is citing sources 1pg doesn't like.
1pg says Dope is pushing propaganda.

Therefore, mentioning China is a threat while citing sources 1pg doesn't like is pushing propaganda.

If that's how you want to roll, I won't stop you.

It's foolish to let Putin off the mat.
Who said this? Not me.

Again, many on this board assign gross positions to their debate opponents and don't really read what they type.

Allow me to spell out my position vis a vis Ukraine:

1. Supporting the Ukrainians is important
2. Seeing Putin bleed his armed forces is a good thing
3. However, we shouldn't have the Ukrainians a blank check
4. We also shouldn't deplete our ammo reserves because the bigger threat is China.

Is this clear enough? Another poster here seems to not be able to process the above.
