  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Not really. It's good, but there are a number of missiles with similar capabilities.

India's Shaurya - while not being air launched - seems to have slightly greater capabilities than Kinzhal (at least from open source data). The Chinese DF-17/ZF series are also comparable in terms of performance and the YF-21 might have better performance (hard to tell though, data is pretty scarce).
Thanks for the response, you mention China and Indias missile capabilities, they are close to the Kinzahl in comparison, both countries mentioned are allied with Russia

Have you seen any western world countries allied with the US that are comparative Operationally?

So Putin hates the same people that you do? That's why you like him?

And both have backed Ukraine against Russia.

So it's some sort of "gay plot" then?
You think I like Putin because he hates gays? I don’t think he hates gays and you should think better of me that that. I like him because our values are similar-yes. Other reasons. You are a man you wouldn’t know about-i guess.

I've got nothing against straight people marrying.

Gay people exist. That fact shouldn't be kept from students just because they go to a public school.
Hmmm. You seem to really back this topic. I’m wondering why? Hmmmm

Which, I suppose is why you're working for him here.

A lot fewer of you than before. The revolt wouldn't have gotten as far as it did, without substantial support from the people.


China has weapons to give Russia an edge in Ukraine – why hasn’t it?


China has no plans to give Russia tanks, which experience shows would be quickly taken out by Ukrainian weapons anyway. The Chinese are apparently considering selling artillery shells and drones to Russia, but are cautious about the consequences of such a move. For now, it seems that China is not anxious to risk the consequences.
Is it bad to like a strong powerful leader. Some leaders are weak, feeble, forgetful. Why can’t i like a strong man who doesn’t flip flop with issues.

If Puto was a strong and powerful leader, he wouldn't have to be hiding in St. Petersburg when a revolt breaks out over his bunging the war he started. I get that you feel the need to be loyal to the leader of your nation, but Putin is running it into the ground. It will end up being a vassal state to China.

Yes homosexuals do exist, and God's words below speak explicitly to this fact

Let's keep pseudo-Peter and Paul out of this. If your reason for "backing" Putin and Russia in this is about the legal status of homosexuals, that's pretty weak sauce. Let's get back to real issues involved here like Putin's desire to rule over Ukraine.

Pseudo-Peter and Paul?

Don't you believe God's words of truth below regarding homosexuality?

2 Peter 2:6KJV
6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

Romans 1:26-32KJV
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Repressed homosexuals get very upset by any public acknowledgement of homosexuality. And it's a concern. Some mass shootings have resulted when such people felt that homosexuals were being given "special privileges."

Pedophiles exist. BDSM. All kinds of dark sexuality. Children should not be exposed do see that.
Most child molesters have a history of heterosexuality. Many are married and have children of their own.

What consequence do you think China will get?
Mostly self-inflicted to date. Aging population, low birthrate, despirited young adults with a 摆烂 ("let it rot") outlook. A viable society needs more than material satisfaction.

Wasnt the China spy balloon just gliding across the US?
Several. It's puzzling. They could have legally flown an aircraft across the U.S. with the same instruments, getting the same information. Intelligence indicates that it was done without the concurrence of the leadership in China.

Washington believes the balloon shot down over the Atlantic on Saturday is part of an extensive Chinese surveillance program – but that Xi Jinping, China’s most powerful leader in decades, may not have been aware of the mission.

No no consequences for China.
Xi is reportedly incensed that it complicated his planned meeting of the U.S. Secretary of State. China is in a delicate position, being economically dependent on the U.S. as a major trading partner.

Yes. There is no way that "2 Peter" was written by "Peter the Rock". None. (It probably wasn't even written by the author of "1 Peter" who also wasn't really Peter.

Even if I thought your god was real, I still wouldn't care what his followers said about anything.

Ok, you don't believe God is real, and I will assume your not a born again Christian?

We're on a Christian website, and it's nice to know a posters belief?

I was never "born again" and found that notion confused or even nonsensical.

It won't tell you my beliefs, but the little pulldown under my avatar will indicate my lack of belief. That's available for all posters. (For example I know you are some sort of "Christian" based on your profile, but I can't tell beyond that. Not that it matters a whit for this conversation.)

Took a while to figure out where you were coming from, too. But changing the subject probably isn't going to cover.

Do you support the government teaching homosexuality in public "Elementary Schools"?
I support the effort to keep people from hijacking threads as a defensive measure. This thread is on why Russia is losing the war with Ukraine.
