The US Presidential Election Thread

[Chadwiko]

The western world was built on the market place of ideas.
you don't want to enter, unless you have a safe space, over and over again you get shown up in that thread, notice most of the people who participated in that thread believe you to be a war mongering neo-con who's full of it...

that's how this works.

thats why you throw the toys out of the cot and want it all moderated.

It's funny, it's a pretty common theme across the site, we've got the best moderated board.

yet you don't like it and want to go somewhere else.

They're great but they are footy forum mods. Not politics mods.

I'm still here. But the thread was locked for a reason, and there is a properly moderated political section of the forum for a reason.

Funny I'd trust their moderation of all things, even politics, over 99% of the other moderators, yet here we are..
with you complaining about their inability to do it..

I think we can see the common denominator.

I'm not the one complaining about them at all. I think locking the thread like they did was reasonable. They warned that it would happen and then it happened.

I'd suggest you start getting your information from somewhere other than 'BRICS News' twitter headlines

Because here's what Meloni actually said today;

The Italian Prime Minister said Tuesday she understands the US approval of the use of long-range missiles for Ukrainian strikes inside Russia, but Italy made a different choice, according to Italian news agency, ANSA.

Giorgia Meloni told reporters at the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro that the US decision was a "response" to Russia's war against Ukraine.

She said, however, that Italy pledges "support" for Ukraine as long as there is a war there.

"We have always been focused on the issue of anti-aircraft defense," said Meloni. "Of course, I understand the point of view of other nations."

Meloni noted that hunger and poverty are far from being solved.

"We are very far from solving” those issues, “given the ongoing crises, in Ukraine where Russia has used wheat as a weapon, and in the Middle East," she noted.

“But Italy has made a different choice”

Read between the lines mate.

“But Italy has made a different choice”

Yes. The different choice is literally explained in the quote. They are supporting Ukraine with anti-aircraft systems.

For example:

Italy is gearing up to send another SAMP/T anti-aircraft missile system [SAMS] to Ukraine shortly, according to Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani. “We will send SAMP/T to protect hospitals, schools, universities,” several media outlets across Europe and worldwide reported the minister saying.

I think you are, you keep talking about a proper moderated space, by people who can do it..

 

[Chadwiko]

Not by 'people who can do it'. But by people who signed up to do it.

Big difference. Try and keep up.

so you're saying a moderator said to you, I didn't sign up to do it?

 

[Val Keating]

The point is that, Russia has made long range missiles fired against them as
the red line. Italy doesn’t want to cross that line.

Ukraine has been firing missiles and drones into Russia for over a year.

The only difference now is that instead of Ukranian-made missiles, there will also be US, UK, and French made missiles.

Meanwhile... Russia has fired over 11,000 missiles into Ukraine in the last 1,000 days. Averaging more than 11 missile launches per day.

Anyone that tries to tell you that using US/UK/French missiles is a new “dangerous escalation” is either a Russian bot or a useful idiot.

That is a big difference and something that Putin has said he will see as a direct attack from those countries and will respond accordingly.

He’s not bluffing.

Pro tip: if Putin is allowed to repeatedly 'escalate' the conflict but Ukraine isn't, then you're not really interested in a peaceful resolution. You just want Russia to "win".

Also, Putin is bluffing. He knows if he uses any sort of nuclear weapon, anywhere, he's signing his own death sentence.

 

[The Warlord]

Why are you pretending like you have a choice in your ability to interact on the SRP thread?

You're banned. Your absence from there isn't any sort of noble decision you made for yourself.

Yes, I got banned for calling out the Nazis. You want to associate with them.

Easy to talk shit about war when you aren't fighting it.

what can you say neocons always going to neocon..

 

[Chadwiko]

There are no Nazis there. And the fact you keep levelling that disgusting attack on people who support Ukraine is really, really gross.

lol, the more I read about it, sounds like chad honey trap..

 

[The Warlord]

lol, how do you even know that?
were you button mashing over there too

Interesting that Chadwiko didn't engage with the content of my post re the tolerance for Nazis on that thread but instead immediately launched into a factually incorrect personal attack instead.

I did get a few infractions on that thread for calling out the Nazi sympathisers.

I also wasn't buying the bullshit in Rusty Jackson's article which caused me problems with Hawthorn supporting admins.

In the end I agreed with Chief - who have known for a long time - that I'd just stay here.

Personally, I don't need the approval of mouth breathing Carlton supporting Banderites.

And I've been vindicated on Rusty and Clarko too.

I much prefer just staying on our board anyway, it's just a shame we can't have a grown up discussion re international affairs without one poster consistently ruining it, but we are where are.

Didn’t know you were a pro.

"One poster consistently ruining it", conveniently ignoring the multiple North fans that your clique has bullied out of that thread with vile abuse.

But sure. I'm the boogeyman.

 

[The Warlord]

I know that you think I'm a threat to your little libertarian cooker echo-chamber you so desperately want here, but I had nothing to do with the Chessboard thread being locked or SLF's bigfooty ban.

I wish I had the power you think I had.

You were the key reason it got locked.

Nobody else doxxed anyone on the thread or started issuing threats of violence like you did.

You argued with EVERYONE who dared disagree with Mighty Big Brane Chad, and it ruined the thread.

I was hoping that the election result would have given yoh some pause for reflection about your worldview, but nah, you're straight back into your toxic aggressive crap.

Back on ignore you go.

 

[The Warlord]

Why don't we just create a new devils chessboard thread 'no chads allowed'.

Do it

 

[DesertRoo]

As I said, I wish I had the power you think I do.

I don’t think you have any power, I just think you complain a lot and you’ve found some sympathetic ears somewhere, so you want the rest of us to follow,
Yeah, nah…
