Ah, thanks. I misinterpreted the comment just quoted to refer to the thread closing; and missed the additional comment in the next post.

I did too the first time. It wasn’t until I went back and re-read the post that I got it.

I totally feel ya there. I don’t know how many times I’ve looked back at an old comment and wished I could fix it to say what I meant instead of what I said.

The mods are still discussing. I think either Ed or Cecil is likely to post a formal response.

Varn’s trolling in the what happens if Trump wins under indictment thread in P & E, right?

No, he’s inculcated with Fox News bullshit and has not read the indictment, nor does he want to be bothered with silly things like “facts” or “truth”.

I think he is sincerely willfully ignorant.

He’s more than that. Read his gorrilagram thread also currently active. I used to think he’s just a bit off, but his stuff is seeming more performative lately.

Going by that thread plus the hubcap one and the stalking author one, I assumed that he is nuttier than a fruitcake.

> My point is that the losses to Ukraine are unaffordable and unsustainable. They lost 15% of their best new armored vehicle in a week. They can sustain that for maybe 6 weeks, till it’s all gone. But for Russia, losses of men and equipment are irrelevant. They have massive reserve supplies of both, and they can continue fighting for years.

Seems clear to me that chappachula is trolling the Ukraine thread. I find it very hard to believe that they actually believe Russia, with it’s failed logistics and pathetic equipment, has more reserves in equipment than Ukraine plus Europe plus the US plus several other countries. I’m glad they were moderated but it’s more than just a hijack at this point - it’s trolling. They should be thread banned IMO.

I think this is it. It’s a genuinely different world view that is not bothered with actual facts and reality. I find it interesting to see because I almost never interact with anyone that far gone into the right-wing disinformation sphere.

I won’t lie, Varn is so ridiculous I’m actually entertained.

That probably makes me a bad person but I will own it.

I don’t think so. Just really, really pessimistic for some reason. Doom and gloom all the time on some topics. Not just within normal bounds but beyond the evidence of our eyes irrational. If even half of his predictions over the last year had come to pass, Russia would have won a dozen times over by now. Some people would take that as a sign to reconsider, but this is the internet, after all.

Also swore up and down a few years ago Trump would absolutely win in 2020 and that has since changed to Trump winning in 2024.

Try the DB Cooper and 3 Dollar bill threads as a palate cleanser.
