Weird how your incredible "evaluation of geopolitics" that you performed lines up basically word for word what the Kremlin says.
Totally dude, would you like to flex your IR degree and show the world that this statement is correct?
Was that supposed to make sense? You're in this thread talking down to people and then can't form a coherent thought to being called out holy shit I'm dying lmaooooooo.
I'm sure your geopolitics knowledge rivals that of people with doctorates but that is so cringe to say . I'm sure.you got all your takes on Rumble lol
I'm sorry what was I supposed to say?
Your comment literally criticised by my argument on the basis that "It was just like Putin's" which is not only false but completely irrelevant, who else shares my argument has no relevance to it's accuracy.
So how am I supposed to respond to such a viciously anti-intellectual claim? Is it really so unacceptable to request that you actually produce reasoning for your argument? At the very least to demonstrate that you are mentally capable of holding this conversation?
FYI I never claimed that I was more knowledgeable than IR scholars, I said somewhat cheekily that you need to be educated (which you clearly aren't) to effectively challenge my statement.
It's really sad when one has to explain the insult when the recipient party is too stupid to understand.
"Can't form a coherent thought"
Again I'm going to need some evidence of this, the fact that you failed to understand a statement, does not make it incoherent.
Unlike most people I actually do provide empirical and rational evidence for my core arguments, even the irrelevant insults. My intellectual standards are through the roof compared to you losers (losers because you are willingly too stupid and lazy, to actually learn empirical facts and provide arguments. See I just met a standard that you have still failed to meet).
