@petite_michelle @IlvesToomas If Scholz "returns" the Sudetenland to Germany. If Orban "returns" Transylvania or "upper Hungary". If Austria's current clowns "return" Sud Tyrol - almost any country in modern Europe can play this stupid game. But for whatever reason, with Russia, we pretend it's legit.

@lambda_thoughts @Jonpy99 About ... me? The guy who has spent months in a dozen different Ukrainian cities since 2022, is fluent in two bordering languages, and holds an elite degree in regional political studies? I assume you're talking to someone else.

@VovaUAVova @BohdanKrotevych Always nice to see that X continues to let retards post here - the inclusive mindset deserves some applause, IMO.

[SSNUS @Schulzke]

@kingdakongkid @Jonpy99 Aww - you try so hard - I'm not NAFO and I literally never visit Reddit -

Give me a FACT, something real and documented, that you'd like to discuss and we can start there. Otherwise, STFU.

[SSNUS @Schulzke]

@kingdakongkid @Jonpy99 Nah, little guy, you don't know. Which confirms that you know nothing - you don't know the region, its geopolitics, its history, or its current landscape. Order a pizza or a go for a walk, but stop weighing in on stuff you don't understand.

[SSNUS @Schulzke]

@kingdakongkid @Jonpy99 LoL, you're adorable - sorry CoCo you monkey, you don't know what I care about. I know Zelenskiy hurt you in some way and it makes you sad that your boys couldn't party in Kyiv the way they planned. Not sorry about that. Enjoy that basement in Michigan.

[SSNUS @Schulzke]

@kingdakongkid @Jonpy99 Sure thing, pork chop - but I don't need a "portfolio" and don't have one. The differences bt me and you are as follows:
1. I know the region and its geopolitical nuances and history and have spent time there.
2. I give a shit about the human freedom and stake here. So GFY.

[SSNUS @Schulzke]

@kingdakongkid @Jonpy99 That's just some tired, vacuous bullshit right there. Anyone who says that ZELENSKIY made this an existential struggle is begging to not be taken seriously. It is either (a) knowingly dishonest or (b) evidence of ignorance.

[SSNUS @Schulzke]

@tdotwop @TheStalwart Not the same. In terms of sheer percentage, international football scoring involves a higher percentage of luck, accident, subjective officiating, and happenstance than American football which has a higher percentage of points resulting from skill, precision, and design.

[SSNUS @Schulzke]

@souljagoyteller Yeah of course it's nothing like that - I'm sure you'll go AI it now, but based on your post it'd seem you don't know what specific this engraving is, and what history it tells in Rome.

Or if you DO know what it is, then your post sounds intentionally or accidentally ignorant.

@TPCarney Is he a Brandybuck, a Took, or a Baggins?

@LetsArmUKR @FedorovMykhailo When I was exactly Fedorov's age I remember feeling I looked too young for the people I was talking to and the deals I needed to make - I grew a beard at that time to hide my youthful face - I suspect there is some resentment from the entrenched types toward someone so young.

@michaeldweiss @IlvesToomas Z'y is such an enigma on this stuff - so wildly surefooted and grounded when others would have toppled or ran for their lives, but so off target when it comes to just locking in his own team.

[SSNUS @Schulzke]

@TheSpyTheState @PalantirTech @anduriltech @PalmerLuckey @pmarca As an American born and raised in the Nor Cal cradle of that innovative power who believes deeply in the American project - why would I need to tell them that? None of that changes the fact that our advantage isn't fixed or permanent.

[SSNUS @Schulzke]

@Drift13b881 @Microinteracti1 @USWPColby To help you out: I am deeply proud of America and the American project as shaped by Washington, the Founders, Lincoln, Reagan and others - I am NOT proud of the erratic weird-ass transactional foreign policy of the Trump, Biden, and Obama admins.

[SSNUS @Schulzke]

@Drift13b881 @Microinteracti1 @USWPColby Hilarious that you're investing time in becoming a student of my X history - you probably jumped like 18 IQ points today, love it.

Yeah this might sound complex - but it is possible to both be proud AND see things in our foreign policy that make one less proud.

[SSNUS @Schulzke]

@Drift13b881 @Microinteracti1 @USWPColby Sorry little guy, you couldn't make me "upset" - having lived in Europe for about the same amount of time as great Americans Thomas Jefferson and Dwight Eisenhower, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. But if you can't turn a double play, you're not really American.

[SSNUS @Schulzke]

@Drift13b881 @Microinteracti1 @USWPColby You're adorable. I'm sure I'm more American than you since I throw strikes on the gridiron and was proficient at three infield baseball positions in HS - and once ate jelly bellies from Reagan's desk jar - rather than sheltering in a basement playing Magic the Gathering.
