I wasn't referring to his commentary on intelligence, I was referring to his commentary on "the libs"

Considering that Biden is a lib, your reply, at best, supports the comment that you were replying to.

Furthermore, you seem to think that this point about Biden somehow contradicts the fact that 'NY Times just casually dropped that the official U.S. intelligence assessment has always been that Putin didn't want to expand the Ukraine conflict beyond Ukraine'

I didn't comment on the post to refute it, I replied to a comment to refute the comment. that's how threads work. anyway

comment: "Did libs really think Putin was gonna try and pull an Ögedei Khan and try to take Europe?"

me: this lib certainly said he thought so.

that's how conversations work.

He also said he'd seen photographic proof that Hamas had decapitated 40 babies.

He also said he would cure cancer, I am not joking.

this lib certainly said he thought so.

Most of us are pretty skeptical he actually did think so, especially considering a lot of experts in his circle have said things that contradict it. Case in point: the article being discussed.

And all you did is support - not refute - the comment. Just as I said here:

Haha. It's nice that you recognise how much you embarrassed yourself.
