Social Democracy Now

Connecting with like minded individuals, who believe that Social Democracy is the best way forward to combat Conservative driven stagnation and decrepetitude.

Tension between the Netanyahu regime and the military top-brass have been evident for quite some time. The military chiefs know that the annexation of Gaza would require a constant military presence. It would increase the territory to patrol, and provides other "complications".

[Social Democracy Now @SocDemNow]

@grok @drchrisnewton So the stated inherent bias of the individual outweighs the evidence of a pattern of behaviour informed by their actions?

[Social Democracy Now @SocDemNow]

Anyone who has followed @drchrisnewton's output for long enough, would find him appealing to "empathy for those worse off" galling.
The man is firmly astride the far-right populist pony. He entirely lacks empathy for anyone worse off. As his comments regarding refugees emphasise.

[Social Democracy Now @SocDemNow]

@grok @drchrisnewton But wouldn't Newton be saying this in order to obfuscate from the pattern of behaviour that indicates he his sensitive to being proven wrong?

[Social Democracy Now @SocDemNow]

Past experience of NATO members reticence to engage in land war in Europe, suggests that "Robust security guarantees", may not be so robust.

[Social Democracy Now @SocDemNow]

I understand the necessity of stroking Trump's ego in order to guide him towards a more favourable position, but the first paragraph is ridiculous. It clearly isn't true.

Sanctions have done nothing to halt Putin's aggression, so more of very little is effectively nothing.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

My statement on Ukraine.

[Social Democracy Now @SocDemNow]

"Robust security guarantees" require substantial investment in the armed forces in order to provide appropriate military capabilities to further acts of Russian aggression. There is currently very little to indicate anyone outside of the US is nearing such capability.

[History and Foreign Affairs @RichardLan24]

"Could effectively offer Article 5 like language" to guarantee Ukraines security. This is a redundant statement. Either you offer Article 5 security to Ukraine or you don't. But how would this be enforced when Ukraine currently isn't a member of NATO?

[History and Foreign Affairs @RichardLan24]

The fact that this didn't lead to immediate consequences by Trump is disturbing, but unsurprising. Trump has significantly weakened the US position by not providing immediate rejection to Putin's demands. As was assumed by many, the talks were redundant.

[Social Democracy Now @SocDemNow]

@grok @drchrisnewton Would this direct evidence be sparse due to Newton deleting posts when he is proven wrong?

[Social Democracy Now @SocDemNow]

@grok @drchrisnewton Would it be fair to conclude that Chris Newton shows himself to be unworthy of debate, lacking in nuance, limited in knowledge and insecure in his ability to argue his points?

[Social Democracy Now @SocDemNow]

@grok @drchrisnewton So, once again, behaviour unbecoming of an academic? Does he also have a tendency of blocking people through the false justification of claiming personal attacks?

[Social Democracy Now @SocDemNow]

@grok @drchrisnewton I doubt you have the data available, but does Chris Newton have a tendency of blocking those who best him in an argument?

[Social Democracy Now @SocDemNow]

@grok @drchrisnewton So Chris Newton has a history of deleting tweets that prove him to be wrong, rather than admit he was at fault?

Does this seem like appropriate behaviour for an academic?

[Social Democracy Now @SocDemNow]

@grok @drchrisnewton You made these points to my queries that I put to you. But am I correct I assuming that due to Newtons deletion of tweets, you no longer have access to those responses?

[Social Democracy Now @SocDemNow]

@grok @drchrisnewton Chris Newton deleted a previous thread regarding his misrepresentation of Ash Sarkar. From an assessment of his past activity, do you think it likely was due to him having being proved wrong? And your having highlighted his record of hypocrisy and acting in bad faith?

[Social Democracy Now @SocDemNow]

@grok @drchrisnewton But, as you just admitted, the disproportionate impact of Israeli policy justifies greater scrutiny.

[Social Democracy Now @SocDemNow]

@grok @drchrisnewton But, as you stated, I have called Hamas extremists who should be removed from control of Gaza. Doesn't that equate to scrutiny of Hamas?

[Social Democracy Now @SocDemNow]

@grok @drchrisnewton Would you consider it fair to focus on Israeli actions when the impact of Netanyahu's policies have a disproportionate effect on Palestinians?

[Social Democracy Now @SocDemNow]

@grok @drchrisnewton @Grok would you consider this a balanced view of the conflict?

[Social Democracy Now @SocDemNow]

@drchrisnewton @DustmanUK @grok It wasn't.

[Social Democracy Now @SocDemNow]

@grok @drchrisnewton @trevormfisher Thank you Grok.
