How should west respond to potential (likely) Russian invasion of Ukraine?

The same false equivalence.

A false equivalence or false equivalency is an informal fallacy in which an equivalence is drawn between two subjects based on flawed or false reasoning. This fallacy is categorized as a fallacy of inconsistency. Colloquially, a false equivalence is often called "comparing apples and oranges."

As the saying goes Barbos is trying to compare apples with oranges.

The EU wants to be like Russia in political censorship...a false equivalence, the two are diametrically opposed.

Politicians over here use false consequence.

Net censorship over here is very minimal. There is no general government censorship of political speech. The same as public verbal speech. You can not incite to riot, conspire to commit crime, .

If you make physical threats against public officials the FBI may come knocking at your door.

Biden can not suppress pro Trump speech or prevent his running for office, which is what Putin does to opposition candidates.

Barbos who has probably lived in a semi isolated Russian culture has only his PC display to see the world,.

Maybe we should just call false equivalences Barboses. As in "you just used a Barbos."

If it includes state propaganda lies then yes.

google showed Patriot batteries at Kiev airport

Google Maps

Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.

www.google.ru

apparently map was created from 2023 data,
Interesting and weird that Regime in Kiev apparently has/had Tu-22s and Mig-29s and Su-24.
I wonder if any of these planes operational.

Well, duh, an airport is a very logical place to put them.

1) They're targets. Better to have them away from other things.

2) They are rockets. You don't want to be nearby and unprotected when one leaps into the sky. Thus you want to avoid putting them near people.

In a typical city what's the largest space that's reasonably available? An airport.

In the next couple of days we will probably learn who “wins” in Ukraine.
If Pootey’s boy loses again and the House flips, Putin is finished.
I wonder what will become of babs and his ilk, whose best efforts were for naught.

There are separatist rumblings in Siberia. He won't have far to go to stay on Russian Hitler's payroll.

Just hearing about bomb threats of Russian origin, against GA polling places.
Those fuckers’ days are numbered if they can’t get Cheato installed.

The conservatives use false equivalence to argue against national health care. National health care is socialism.

He should probably stay away from windows in tall buildings.

It would be pretty stupid tor Russia to attack commercial jets. But hen there is no evidence that Putin and company are acting rationally.

My guess is after years of war Putin is desperate and is fighting for his political power. We have not heard anything yet about internal dissent among the power elite. The wealthy must be getting a bit anxious about their future.

The wounded animal backed into a corner analogy. If Putin becomes a loose cannon who knows what he will do.

Ukraine occupies a part of Russia and Moscovites live under threat of drone attacks.


The militray can not be happy.

If you like Social Security and Medicare you're a socialist.

For the extreme conservatives that is the gist of it. Anything less than complete privatization is socialist or communist.
