Looks like you have Strike 2 now after personal attacks and an attempt at doxxing. [1] If you wish to remain an editor in good standing and not convert this account into just another throwaway sockpuppet, I suggest you settle down and begin some productive editing when you return from your 2 day block. Thank you. RobS^{Let's Go Brandon!} 19:59, December 15, 2021 (EST)

I realised a while ago that Andy, Rob and Ben don't actually want more editors here, despite occasional protestations to the contrary. At first, I think it was a kind of stubborn if-we-build-it-they-will-come that prevented any serious effort at promotion & recruitment, but as the years rolled by, they just grew to really, really love defining their own reality with as little pushback or compromise as possible. ConwayIII (talk) 21:14, February 23, 2022 (EST)

I know nothing of Ben but I'm liking you already; Andy seems OK but I'm genuinely worried for RobS: invited to diagnose him, my cod-psychological pronouncement would be non-reactive psychosis, Hitlerian subtype. Is it me or is he obsessed by Nazism? Anyone that full of piss and vinegar must have serious problems off-line - I hope he feels able to reach out when the time comes. -S CptSandra (talk) 15:27, February 24, 2022 (EST) PS: He hasn't created [2] yet; if he does, might you second me in the debate? No pressure: I have a fallback, but I'd prefer it to be you. Could be fun, though I suspect he's not biting (in that sense, anyway).

At my current rate of spurious blocks, I advise you look for a more reliable presence in your corner. ConwayIII (talk) 16:07, February 27, 2022 (EST)

Incivility

Making personal comments about family members is little different than doxxing. Please refrain from that conduct in the future. RobS^{Let's Go Brandon!} 15:40, April 22, 2022 (EDT)

Southfront

Have you tried trolling the Southfront discussion group yet? My two favorites are NATO fags like high heels and lipstick, and BanderiteLivesDontMatter. I dont' think the username Bioweapons "R" Us is taken yet. C'mon, show some cahoonies now. You can run with the big boys. [3] RobS^Z

No need, man. I'm getting sufficient vitamin Z and practically OD-ing on fresh lunacy just from watching you smear your faeces all over the walls, windows & doors of Andy's formerly "Christian" and "conservative" wiki.

If he'll let you get away with posting this on MPR, you could probably forcibly teabag him in front of his wife, post a picture of the deed in place of the Conservapedia logo and still have him thank you for your service. Remarkable stuff. ConwayIII (talk) 17:57, May 23, 2022 (EDT)

BREAKING: NATO Member Turkey to Invade Syria. What's your take on this? Think Turkiye will acquiesce on Finland joining NATO in exchange for a little NATO help fighting Russia in Syria? How will the world react to another NATO war of aggression? RobS^Z 20:29, May 23, 2022 (EDT)

My take is Erdogan would love to never hear about the plight of the Kurds again and also to be given free rein re. the PKK and YPG. He's probably reconciled to not getting that, despite his rhetoric, and is angling instead for a reboot of the F-35 deal, plus Patriots. ConwayIII (talk) 15:04, May 24, 2022 (EDT)

Patriots? He already bought the S-400 a few years ago (a superior weapon). That should have gave you a heads up there were problems within NATO and its wrong-headed "Russian Spring" designs back when Obama was approving Victoria Nuland, Samantha Power, Hillary Clinton, Jake Sullivan, and Antony Blinken's psychotic fantasies. RobS^Z 15:22, May 24, 2022 (EDT)

So, as NATO prepares aggressive actions against Transnistria and Lviv from Poland and Romania, Hungary declares a state of emergency. [4] RobS^Z 16:09, May 24, 2022 (EDT)

Patriots. That's the current line out of Ankara, along with a hurt feelings claim they'd've never bought the S-400 if Patriots had been forthcoming when requested. No idea re. the truth of that, but it's an obvious way to frame it as a blunder by the Trump administration (2017) that needs fixing. ConwayIII (talk) 16:12, May 24, 2022 (EDT)

Wait. Stop. Think momentarily (however difficult). If NATO exists to defend the planet against Russia, and Turkey, NATO's largest manpower constituent group purchases Russian most modern advanced weapons from Russia to defend Turkey against Russia, what the hell do we need NATO for, then? RobS^Z 16:37, May 24, 2022 (EDT)

So whom did Turkey purchase the S-400 system to defend against? RobS^Z 16:40, May 24, 2022 (EDT)

<hint> To shoot down F-35 aircraft of NATO ally Greece. RobS^Z 16:56, May 24, 2022 (EDT)

So again, why do we keep pouring $700 billion into the US Defense budget to keep the NATO house of cards alive? And no, the "Russian bogeyman" that created the alliance no longer is a valid excuse or response. RobS^Z 17:00, May 24, 2022 (EDT)

Breaking: Kissinger tells WEF that NATO should throw in the towel. RobS^Z 17:03, May 24, 2022 (EDT)

Erdogan doing stupid stuff isn't the knockdown argument against NATO you're looking for. He got rebuffed for latest-gen kit from the US, felt slighted, and went and petulantly bought latest-gen kit from Russia. Works fine by Occam's razor and fits well with his increasingly weird & cranky nature.

In other news, Kissinger reliably informed us there was zero chance of the Soviet Union collapsing. ConwayIII (talk) 17:12, May 24, 2022 (EDT)

Maybe Kissinger was talking about Soviet military power. The KGB went out of business in 1991, the GRU did not.

Ok, so some may say Turkish S-400 are for shooting down Israeli aircraft, theoretically yes, in reality no, not unless Turkey was building its own nukes. While there is talk of a joint Saudi-Egypt-Turkish bomb to counter Iran, would Israel oppose that? Anyway, we have no suspicions it's underway.

So, again, when you read years ago that Turkey bought Russian weapons to shoot down NATO aircraft, you should have had enough brains to realize then the NATO alliance was dead. And Obama killed it (wittingly or unwittingly; I think wittingly). RobS^Z 18:25, May 24, 2022 (EDT)

H. Kissinger being impressively wrong about stuff, Jan 14, 1988.

I've nowt to add re. motives for acquiring the S-400 and refer you back to my previous comments on Occam's razor and Erdogan himself. Feel free to keep spinning yourself another NATO-is-dead yarn, though. ConwayIII (talk) 19:40, May 24, 2022 (EDT)

A "Kissinger was wrong argument" makes zero sense in 1988 and even less sense now. It's like saying "FDR was wrong" or "Lincoln was wrong for freeing the slaves". These men shaped the world you live in. That's why we can't disentangle ourselves from China today, cause of Kissinger. Whattaygona do? Dig up his grave after they bury him so you can spit on him?

Sheesh, why do I waste my time talking with idiots.... RobS^Z 00:17, May 25, 2022 (EDT)

So somebody in 1988 says, "hey, it's probably not a good idea to establish trade ties with China," where are they now? Can they help us get baby milk formula now cause Chinese trade destroyed our ability to produce it? or they just wanna debate how wrong Kissinger was? RobS^Z 00:22, May 25, 2022 (EDT)

There's being wrong on points of detail; there's being wrong on some of the fundamentals; and then there's being dogmatically wrong about the entire direction of travel, despite an abundance of evidence to the contrary. It's a common problem with "realists" (cf. Mearsheimer) and seems to worsen as they age.

The idea of a state as some kind of entity motivated by rational self-interest re. wealth & power works fine until all those epoch-changing moments when it suddenly doesn't, and it's usually pesky human hubris or delusion that makes such a spectacular mess of all the theorising. ConwayIII (talk) 17:19, May 25, 2022 (EDT)

Good. I'm glad you understood my point. This is not an academic debate. This is the school of realism. Now, why don't your sources report on the imminent collapse of (a) the Ukrainian military, and (b) the Ukrainian state?

Bottomline: (a) The pre-2014 borders will never exist again; (b) there will be no negotiations, as the NYT, London Telegraph, Zelensky, Kissinger and others are calling for NOW, unless the RF agrees to sit down at the table. Do you really think Biden, NATO, the West, the EU, or UN can force Russia to the table now, or anytime this summer? Russia will come to the table when its prepared to sit down, and the Anglo-American "rules based order" collapses at that point, short of nuclear war. RobS^Z 17:42, May 25, 2022 (EDT)

My man, the ambition of the great Donbas "offensive" has been shrinking week by week, so much so that actually securing the remainder of Luhansk region would seem like something of a "victory". It's not, of course. It's a so-called major power bursting a blood vessel to try & take a small city like Severodonetsk. That's not going to send a chill down anyone's spine. ConwayIII (talk) 19:19, May 25, 2022 (EDT)

So emotional

You get so emotional about Paul Pelosi getting hammered in his underwear. I don't get it? It probably wasn't the first time. RobS^{Give Peace a chance} 22:39, October 31, 2022 (EDT

A quick note

Thanks for your kind words. The only reason I deleted your note on my talk page is that I have decided to be less forthcoming about my personal life off-wiki. It's better if people underestimate me. :)
