    Proof, ko0ky?

    Are you retarded? Seriously? You want "Proof" that Biden
    has lavished obscene amounts of money on the Ukraine? That,
    Biden is bankrolling this war?

    Your claim was that Biden funded terrorist attacks on the streets of
    Moscow, kook, not that Biden was funding Ukraine's efforts at
    self-defense. Nice example of a motte-and-bailey argument, by the way.

    $170 billion for self-defense...? That's enough to destroy London and
    Paris - twice, with money left over.

    It is true that Ukraine has launched attacks into Russia, some of
    which struck military targets in and near Moscow, but attacking
    legitimate military targets within a foe's territory during war is
    hardly "terrorism".

    Missing the targets is.

    It is furthermore unclear whether any of the drone strikes against
    Moscow- area targets were, specifically, supported by US funding or
    used US- supplied weapons. The closest I am aware of are US-supplied long-range missiles having been used to hit Russian military bases at
    some remove from Moscow; also legitimate military targets.

    And now I will proceed to restore kensi's points about climate change,
    for which you had no response and which you snipped like a coward:

    a) It's just just *that* it's warming, it's how *fast* it's
    warming -- *too* fast for many things to adapt. Think
    Permian, not Eocene.
    b) Our agriculture is adapted to the ice age world, not
    to the Eocene world, both in terms of what we cultivate
    and where we cultivate it.
    c) So are the locations of our coastal cities and a whole
    lot of our infrastructure.

    By snipping these unaddressed you have tacitly conceded all three
    points, and thus the entire argument re: climate change. You may cease
    to post to alt.global-warming now, kook, having now lost your own war
    there. Further activity by you there would be moot at this point.

    "climate change" is ordinary weather cycles.

    Not that I expect that to stop a blithering moron like you.

    Says a moron.
