Etiquette



DP Etiquette

First rule: Don't be a jackass.

Other rules: Do not attack or insult people you disagree with. Engage with facts, logic and beliefs. Out of respect for others, please provide some sources for the facts and truths you rely on if you are asked for that. If emotion is getting out of hand, get it back in hand. To limit dehumanizing people, don't call people or whole groups of people disrespectful names, e.g., stupid, dumb or liar. Insulting people is counterproductive to rational discussion. Insult makes people angry and defensive. All points of view are welcome, right, center, left and elsewhere. Just disagree, but don't be belligerent or reject inconvenient facts, truths or defensible reasoning.

What do you think?

 

In a media press conference on Friday, President Biden said he’s ‘convinced’ Russia will invade Ukraine, based on advice from U.S. intelligence agencies.

But so far, so good… no Russian-Ukrainian war yet.  Seems we’re still trying to give peace a chance.

Based on media reports, we are getting a lot of mixed messages such as: Troops being ‘put in place’ and ‘at the ready’; Russian military commanders being given the ‘go-ahead’ by Putin; a summit between Biden and Putin being agreed to ‘in principle’, according to French President Macron; Ukrainian President Zelensky pushing for ‘preemptive sanctions’ to be put in place as a deterrent; etc.  It really is hard to know what’s actually going on.  But such can be expected in the fog of a pre-war.  So, here’s the question:

Do you think Russia will invade Ukraine?  If yes, how soon?  If no, why not?
