  • 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.

We need to offer Russia something.

What countries can we ban from joining NATO ?
No we don’t. Russia has shown the world that its army is toothless. It can’t even defeat on military weak nation.

Could Russia replace vodka
with beer and bowling?
Russia has a proud and noble history of drunken violence. I can’t see that changing any time soon.

When NATO kept moving closer to the Russian border,
what did they expect to happen?
Russia not to invade a non NATO country. Especially when Russian said in wouldn't a few days before invading. But you just can't trust orcs, can you?

Could we ban Belarus from NATO for 5 years?
It's a silly question. Belarus isn't looking to join NATO. They are a Russian puppet state. They are what Putin tried to turn Ukraine into for years and when it failed he invaded (2014).

Belarus is already banned from joining NATO due to being a member of the CSTO. Not to mention being in a supranational union with Russia.
If they are already de facto banned,
then why can’t we make a deal with Russia?

Because Russia neither has nor deserves a say in who can join NATO and giving it to them, even in a completely symbolic manner, sets a horrible precedent for when it tries to impose that right on a separate nation.

We could offer Russia…
50 percent of Mars
50 percent of the moon
The Hope Diamond

Those 3 things happen to be red, white, and blue.

Same as both the American flag and the Russian flag.

What? That's ridiculous. Not to mention that space belongs to nobody.
