Hillary Clinton Calls For Greater Military Assistance And Financial Aid For Ukraine Octafish Apr 2015 #47

The article reveals nothing except the childish, escapist fantasies of the author. DetlefK Apr 2015 #6

No need for ad hominem. Gary Leupp is a professor of history. The guy tells the truth as he sees it. Octafish Apr 2015 #8

No need for appeal-to-authority. And my argument still stands. DetlefK Apr 2015 #9

No appeal to authority. He's the author of the article. Octafish Apr 2015 #11

Oi. That's my point: It seems he intentionally left information out of the discussion. DetlefK Apr 2015 #12

Right. Like the time you wrote me: 'Don't worry your pretty little head off.' Octafish Apr 2015 #15

I don't remember why I wrote that. I guess it was sarcasm. DetlefK Apr 2015 #17

So that's why you want to 'argue' what Leupp left out. Octafish Apr 2015 #19

Sigh. What the... Are you serious? DetlefK Apr 2015 #24

His title is Professor of History. Octafish Apr 2015 #37

...and you left out that he specializes in Tokugawa era Japanese history. NuclearDem Apr 2015 #38

Professors of history know how to write accurately about history. Octafish Apr 2015 #39

Let me fix that: NuclearDem Apr 2015 #42

Fix all you want. You're still doing all you can to discredit Leupp. Octafish Apr 2015 #44

Significant parts of Europe are American pawns since the end of WW2 malaise Apr 2015 #10

And Russia is pissed that its former pawns rather join NATO. DetlefK Apr 2015 #14

Please explain then why Ukrainian fascists killed upwards of 250,000 Ukrainian Jews during KingCharlemagne Apr 2015 #16

What? That has nothing to do with what I said. DetlefK Apr 2015 #18

Anti-soviet partisans didn't have much choice. NuclearDem Apr 2015 #33

Even that is giving it too much credit. It's the latest apologia for Putin's war of aggression. stevenleser Apr 2015 #21

No opinion at all. Leupp quotes Nuland's own words. Octafish Apr 2015 #45

Except he insinuates that the $5 billion was invested explicitly for regime change in 2014. Tommy_Carcetti Apr 2015 #48

Just because that's what you want to argue doesn't make it the point of Leupp's essay. Octafish Apr 2015 #50
