Looks like Putin might just be full of shit as regards all of his threats.

Incredibly, that guy has a PhD in Physics and is still spouting off that if everyone wore a mask, covid would be over permanently within a month. Now there's no doubt an N95 mask is better than a blue surgical mask (remember when they assured us that those masks worked until they finally realised they actually don't?) but the idea that it will stop covid in a month is clearly ridiculous given that you'll still have most of the air you breathe in and out coming through the sides of the mask. As a Physics PhD graduate, he should absolutely know that. Just goes to show you that you can have all the science qualifications in the world and still have no clue what you're talking about.

I'm not defending anything. I have certainly never defended Bush or Blair.

Bush and Blair declared Iraq as part of sovereign UK and/or US territory did they? They threatened to nuke other countries did they? Others are right. You are on the wind up here. You absolutely have to be. Well played. That's all I can say.

Wind your neck in and mind your own business.

You're lucky you got on the website. Just tried to login at 2am to see if I have any updates and there's a queue system in place. It's a 20-minute wait just to login. At 2am on a Sunday morning.

How many of them have invaded another country, bombed the shit out of it, unilaterally declared it as their country now and threatened to drop nuclear bombs on it?

You and @Todd_is_God have repeatedly claimed the West should have negotiated with Putin to avert war at the start of this year. I'm asking you how you think they could possibly have reasoned with a man who quotes Jesus and Satanism in speeches. If you can't answer, that's fine.

TBF, if I wanted a textbook definition of a demented rant I'd be hard-pressed to find a better example than the following without plumbing the depths of your posting history: You think this is effectively-targetted propaganda? Fair enough. "Let me repeat that the dictatorship of the Western elites targets all societies, including the citizens of Western countries themselves. This is a challenge to all. This complete renunciation of what it means to be human, the overthrow of faith and traditional values, and the suppression of freedom are coming to resemble a “religion in reverse” – pure Satanism. Exposing false messiahs, Jesus Christ said in the Sermon on the Mount: “By their fruits ye shall know them.” These poisonous fruits are already obvious to people, and not only in our country but also in all countries, including many people in the West itself." I'd like an honest response from @virginton and @Todd_is_God about how exactly any rational person could have talked Putin down from this particular window-ledge of insanity to avoid war in Ukraine in February. Come on guys. Defend this speech of Putin's if you can. Show us what the West could have realistically with this rather obvious nutjob.

In the UK we have hilarious conspiracy theory wackos like @Captain Saintsible and @Detournement but we are rank amateurs when it comes to the US. This woman went on TV to claim that the Democrats are creating hurricanes and tornadoes to target Republican states. Apparently "we know the technology exists" and that "of course" Biden would use it to punish Republican voters. Former GOP candidates push baseless QAnon conspiracy theory that Hurricane Ian was created to punish DeSantis (msn.com)

Dry air will heat much quicker than moist, humid air. It's to do with heat capacities. The heat capacity of air is much lower than water and so requires less energy to heat by each single degree of temperature. Once humid air is heated up it may possibly release its heat more slowly than air but that's a different thing as you have to heat it first - which is the issue. The quickest way to heat a room is to use some forced supply to overcome the conduction issue of less dense dry air, so a warm air fan or something like that will be faster than a radiator.

You're not worried about nuclear war. You're worried about your gas and elec bill. You're trying to shift the goalposts to strengthen your reason for supporting Russia, thinking we're all forgetful numpties. You've posted relentlessly on this being all about energy bills for you. It's clear you feel that Ukraine bending over and allowing the Russians to invade and take whatever parts of their country they feel like and to subsequently torture, kill and rape civilians is a price worth paying to keep your bills down. I'll leave others to judge whether that is a decent/moral/acceptable position to hold. I'm only interested in preventing you shifting the goalposts on your reasons for supporting Russia on this.

"The West chose aggression" is very much taking sides. No need to treat me or anyone else like an idiot my friend.

Still can't find it within yourself to condemn Russia for invading a sovereign nation, mass murder of civilians, mass rape, torture, and forcing people to vote for them in rigged referenda in occupied territories eh? What would Russia have to do to receive your criticism?

I see this part of the forum hasn't improved much since I last posted here. Happy to leave you to it.
