Euromaidan Press

Have you bothered to research Conservapedia's entry on Euromaidanpress?

This is insane. You collect the names of academics and researchers I use as sources, then take out of context quotes like Mearsheimer saying "Russia is a declining power" and spam it as justification for war against Russia. I will contact the owner of the website if you persist in this trolling. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 13:58, February 2, 2025 (EST)

Are you going to purge all the USAID-funded crap from this page, or continue attacking the conservative movement and Trump agenda?

If the page was purged properly, my guess is it would be about 1/3 the current size. RobS^{I don’t really care, Margaret} 23:21, February 5, 2025 (EST)

Use the whole quote. In 2014, the international relations scholar John Mearsheimer wrote: "Russia is a declining power, and it will only get weaker with time."[5]

It is not humanly possible to take such an emphatic quote out of context. Deny this and lose all credibility. Conservative (talk) 21:18, February 15, 2025 (EST)

So what? France has been a declining power since 1812, and they're still around. RobS^{I don’t really care, Margaret} 21:51, February 15, 2025 (EST)

At least in my estimation, you didn't support your claim that I used the quote out of context nor did you support your claim that I want Ukraine/West to be at war with Russia. Conservative (talk) 22:13, February 15, 2025 (EST)

In my estimation, you are hardly a student of John Mearsheimer and international relations. And that was obvious when you first cited Mearsheimer's Death of liberalism video and you didn't understand what liberalism in the international sense means versus American domestic liberalism, which he wasn't talking about, at all. RobS^{I don’t really care, Margaret} 23:00, February 15, 2025 (EST)

As Jesus said, Ask, and ye shall receive. But you choose the path of deliberate ignorance. You're too wrapped up in your narcissistic ego and lifted up in pride to ask for help in understanding. This is evidenced by the way you treat visitors to your user page who offer help. RobS^{I don’t really care, Margaret} 23:06, February 15, 2025 (EST)

Russia news

I can see you clinging to BBC, Reuters, NYT, et al for a while. But you were informed years ago that

• The Moscow Times
• The Kyiv Independent

with all the attendant necessary sourcing were deep state propaganda fronts. RobS^{I don’t really care, Margaret} 19:56, February 10, 2025 (EST)

User:Conservative: If you had read The Gulag Archipelago as you claim, you would have a rudimentary understanding of the Russia-Ukraine relationship, which obviously you don't. RobS^{I don’t really care, Margaret} 13:52, February 14, 2025 (EST)

Do I "cling" to these news publications? You are definitely not supporting this claim of yours. Given that I wrote these two essays Don't believe all the political news "facts" and predictions you read on the internet and see on the news and Why I prefer to get my news from a wide variety of sources, your claim is going to be very hard to support.

Also, did I claim to read the book The Gulag Archipelago or did I merely claim to read a portion of the book? And given that you are not a mind reader, your opinion on how much I understand the Russia-Ukraine conflict isn't very relevant. This is especially true given that I predicted that the Russia-Ukraine conflict will turn into a frozen conflict (much earlier than what typical wars last) and that appears to be what is going to happen and you took a very different view that was quite pro-Russia and was very maximalist in terms of a Russian victory. Conservative (talk) 22:39, February 15, 2025 (EST)

You published the lies - it is your responsibility to clean em up. Either delete wholesale or revisit and rewrite.

It's not fair to other editors for the disrepute & lies you brought upon Conservapedia with your spamming. And you wonder why Conservapedia has trouble attracting editors? RobS^{I don’t really care, Margaret} 23:14, February 15, 2025 (EST)

Neither Putin nor Trump want a "frozen conflict". "Frozen conflict" is deep state rhetoric cause they don't want to admit NATO lost. RobS^{I don’t really care, Margaret} 23:23, February 15, 2025 (EST)

You are still not supporting your claims concerning me. And given Russia's current economy, labor shortages, and other factors, the fact remains that my forecast concerning the war in Ukraine has a far greater probability of happening than your maximalist, pro-Russia forecast. Frozen conflict well within 10 years is probably going to be the net result - just like I predicted!

Mearsheimer also predicted that a frozen conflict is the most likely end result of the war in Ukraine with some possible flarups in the future, but he was more pessimistic concerning the timeframe of it happening than I was. The only difference is that I predicted a frozen conflict would happen relatively soon in terms of the average of how long modern wars last and much sooner than the 10 years that modern wars last. And it looks like Putin and the Trump Administration will hammer something out in 2025 in terms of an armistice or peace deal (But I also said that there could be flareups in the future). So it looks like I will soon have three words concerning my forecast of the war in Ukraine: Olé! Olé! Olé! Conservative (talk) 23:37, February 15, 2025 (EST)

Okay smarty. What's the difference between an armistice and a "peace deal"? RobS^{I don’t really care, Margaret} 23:56, February 15, 2025 (EST)

1 day and no response.

It is obvious you pay no attention to what is being said.

Trump said once the war is over, he wants nuclear arms redactions with the US, Russia & China, and defense spending cut in half. Now, Mr. Big Brain, how is that possible in a "frozen conflict? RobS^{I don’t really care, Margaret} 20:51, February 16, 2025 (EST)

I don't need to support my claims - your crap stands by itself, being discredited and a disgrace to the American conservative movement, Conservapedia, and Donald Trump.

Now Trump is working hand in hand to reshape peace in our time and for future generations with the corrupt kleptocrat and war criminal Vladimir Putin. Good luck with that.

Can you imagine? Trump invited the corrupt kleptocrat and war criminal Vladimir Putin to Washington. This will make a fine exhibit in the Trump Presidential Library as part of his enduring legacy. RobS^{I don’t really care, Margaret} 23:47, February 15, 2025 (EST)

Just imagine, FDR & Truman hung war criminals, but Trump made em the guest of honor at a State Dinner. Such is the history you wrote about Trump's legacy. RobS^{I don’t really care, Margaret} 23:52, February 15, 2025 (EST)

Trump is willing to meet with most anyone if it advances America's interest. His meeting with anti-Christian Kim Jung Un is an example of that. He also met with the lightweight Justin Trudeau in November of 2024. Conservative (talk) 23:59, February 15, 2025 (EST)

And everyone has to support their claims if they want people who are not gullible to believe them. Conservative (talk) 00:00, February 16, 2025 (EST)

Look up the word gullible in the dictionary. It's got your picture right beside it. RobS^{I don’t really care, Margaret} 00:07, February 16, 2025 (EST)

The Deep State & USAID, not to mention the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign, have been playing you like a cheap fiddle for a long time. RobS^{I don’t really care, Margaret} 00:09, February 16, 2025 (EST)

Also, FDR met with the militant atheist Stalin who was responsible for killing many of his fellow citizens via purges and responsible for the widespread persecution of Christians in the USSR. Presidents will meet with horrendous people if they believe the national interest requires it. Conservative (talk) 00:04, February 16, 2025 (EST)

Thank you. Now we know where you stand. Trump will claim it's a victory and integral part of his legacy. You stand with the NeverTrumpers and critics who say it's something to condemn. RobS^{I don’t really care, Margaret} 00:13, February 16, 2025 (EST)

(Incidentally, it was Stalin at Yalta who got FDR to recognize Ukraine & Belarus independence by granting them full membership in the United Nations, which conservatives harshly condemned. I see you have come around to the FDR/Stalin, liberal Democrat/Soviet communist position now). RobS^{I don’t really care, Margaret} 00:18, February 16, 2025 (EST)

Alexander Solzhenitsyn on Ukraine from the Gulag Archipelago

File:Doggie Doo Alert.jpg

Doggie Doo Alert Dead Ahead!

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn: From The Gulag Archipelago, part V, chapter 2, “The First Whiff of Revolution.” Published 1974. English translation by Harry Willetts, © 1978 Harper & Row.

"For me this is a painful subject. Russia and the Ukraine are united in my blood, my heart, my thoughts. But from friendly contact with Ukrainians in the camps over a long period I have learned how sore they feel. Our generation cannot avoid paying for the mistakes of generations before it.

Nothing is easier than stamping your foot and shouting: “That's mine!” It is immeasurably harder to proclaim: “You may live as you please.” We cannot, in the latter end of the twentieth century, live in the imaginary world in which our last, not very bright Emperor came to grief. Surprising though it may be, the prophecy of our Vanguard Doctrine [i.e., Marxism-Leninism—Ed.] that nationalism would fade has not come true. In the age of the atom and of cybernetics, it has for some reason blossomed afresh. Like it or not, the time is at hand when we must pay out on all our promissory notes guaranteeing self-determination and independence—pay up of our own accord, and not wait to be burned at the stake, drowned in rivers, or beheaded. We must prove our greatness as a nation not by the vastness of our territory, not by the number of peoples under our tutelage, but by the grandeur of our actions. And by the depth of our tilth in the lands that remain when those who do not wish to live with us are gone.

Official Maidan regime nazi propaganda posted to Twitter in 2022. It was later deleted. [1] Solzhenitsyn & Putin evidently are liars, and the USAID-funded Nazi propagandists spoke the truth, per User:Conservative.

The Ukraine will be an extremely painful problem. But we must realize that the feelings of the whole people are now at white heat. Since the two peoples have not succeeded over the centuries in living harmoniously, it is up to us to show sense. We must leave the decision to the Ukrainians themselves—let federalists and separatists try their persuasions. Not to give way would be foolhardy and cruel. And the gentler, the more tolerant, the more careful to explain ourselves we are now, the more hope there will be of restoring unity in the future.

Let them live their own lives, let them see how it works." Conservative (talk) 18:40, February 16, 2025 (EST)

It's a bit late for you now to do a little Googling, after you published about 3 dozen Russophobic screeds to make peacemaking for Donald Trump more difficult.

"Russia and the Ukraine are united in my blood, my heart, my thoughts", that sounds like Putin propaganda, which all your USAID-sourced hate screeds ridicule and deny.RobS^{I don’t really care, Margaret} 18:47, February 16, 2025 (EST)

“	This was essentially Alexander Solzhenitsyn's message: the Russians needed to give up the empire held together by force, So Putin is a follower of Alexander Solzhenitsyn. He would like to have good relations with the Ukrainians whom he views as Orthodox Christian Slavic brothers. But we've made that almost impossible because of our support for the worst elements in Ukraine.	”
—Col. Douglas Macgregor, May 5, 2025.

See Daniel Davis / Deep Dive.

User:Conservative: Bottomline: You went along with all the Nazi propaganda since the justifiable 2022 conflict started, despite warnings and protestations. I will be monitoring closely your editing & trolling activity on Eastern European and Slavic subjects. RobS^{I don’t really care, Margaret} 19:29, February 16, 2025 (EST)

Note: The yellow colored Lvov oblast (Eastern Galicia or "Western Ukraine", territory claimed by Poland) is the only part of "Ukraine" where the "Ukrainians" live or the Ukrainian language is spoken. Not even Kiev. As quoted by Samuel Huntington: "Ukraine or rather Eastern Ukraine will come back in five, ten or fifteen years. Western Ukraine can go to hell!" [2]

Godwin's law. Conservative (talk) 19:42, February 16, 2025 (EST)

Also, who added the "cultural contributions" section to the Conservapedia Russia article? Because you were so busy playing with your Russian toy soldiers stomping on Ukraine's flag, I had to add this cultural contributions section to the Russia article. It's a total disgrace that you admire the worst aspects of Russian culture, but don't appreciate its greatest cultural achievements. The same applies to the Saint Petersburg article. Conservative (talk) 19:46, February 16, 2025 (EST)

Russians used to play with American GI Joes made by Mattel and manufactured in China. But economic sanctions changed all that. RobS^{I don’t really care, Margaret} 19:49, February 16, 2025 (EST)

Karajou, who has traveled around the world, turned out to be right about you. You don't understand international politics. At this point, I doubt you have visited Russia, Saint Peterburg or Ukraine. And remember, as far as the war in Ukraine and forecasting, your very pro-Russia, maximalist victory for Russia forecast is looking very bad right now, while my frozen conflict scenario (that may flare up from time to time) happening significantly before 10 years is looking very good. Conservative (talk) 19:58, February 16, 2025 (EST)

Quote of RobSmith: "Alternatively, the US can admit defeat, withdraw sanctions, apologize, and accept the treaties Putin & Lavrov offered in December 2021 before NATO decided to go on another murderous rampage. RobSGive Peace a chance 17:25, July 8, 2023 (EDT)"[6]

Sure looks like that is happening now: UK Telegraph: Trump is counting on a quick Ukraine peace deal, leaving Putin rubbing his hands, 06 April 2025.

Is Donald Trump going to apologize to Putin/Russia, completely withdraw sanctions and accept the treaties Putin & Lavrov offered in December 2021. Or is Russia, which has sky-high inflation, the beginnings of stagflation, rising corporate bankruptcies, labor shortages and a lower valued ruble, going to compromise? Conservative (talk) 20:06, February 16, 2025 (EST)

Trump has already cowed, being the first to initiate the phone call. [7]

More evidence of Nazi sympathies: See map image. User:Conservative went along with all the USAID/Nazi agitprop since 2022 that Putin wanted to conquer ALL of Ukraine and invade Western Europe in this clearly provoked NATO war.

Second warning: "frozen conflict" is Nazi-Deep State rhetoric. No one on Trump's team uses the term. RobS^{I don’t really care, Margaret} 20:16, February 16, 2025 (EST)

Update: Mearsheimer:

“

It's very important to understand that Hegseth said. He said explicitly that America's position is "a recognition of hard power realities on the ground". Just think about those words. He said this in Brussels [ NATO & EU headquarters.] It's a recognition of hard power realities on the ground. In other words, Hegseth understands, the Trump Administration understands we have lost. We have lost this war. The tide has turned against Ukraine and the West. The problem is that huge numbers of people in the West don't understand that. They operate under this illusion that Ukraine is doing fine and all we have to do is give them a bit more weaponry and fine-tune the fighting machine, and they'll stop the Russians and eventually roll them back. And if you think like that about the situation on the ground, then obviously you're not going to like this deal at all. But if you face reality, which is what Hegseth and Trump and Company are doing, then it's obvious you have no choice here but to end the war on favorable terms, if you can so. Again, I think the Hegseth speech, when you look at it, is a really quite remarkable document. The number of things that he says in very clear terms that are quite profound....quite explicit, are really amazing, and I think the Trump Administration will build on what Hegseth said. I think that's the foundation. I think they sent him out on purpose to make that set of arguments.

”

NATO has prepared for this war since its founding in 1949. There is no frozen conflict. You throw yourself on the mercy of the victor. RobS^{I don’t really care, Margaret} 22:09, February 16, 2025 (EST)

So, in good faith, let's try to make User:Conservative a little more conversant in the language of geopolitics, not using an obsolete and outdated quote of Mearsheimer, but one made 6 or 7 weeks ago:

“

the Trump Administration understands we have lost. We have lost this war. The tide has turned against Ukraine and the West. The problem is that huge numbers of people in the West don't understand that.

”

Note: The quote has nothing to do with the declining power of Russia, but everything to do with the declining power of the United States, the West, and Ukraine.

Geopoliticss is dynamic, not static (active, always in motion, not standing at rest). This is the problem with User:Conservative's brain - it is static. Not conversant in ongoing, active matters. Sure, he can write on various static subjects like ideology with clearly defined parameters, but not on ongoing, ever changing news and events that require constant monitoring and analysis. Anything the various think tanks wrote about geopolitics in 2019 are now totally obsolete. And he doesn't understand the basic vocabulary of diplomacy and geopolitics.

I tried seriously discussing this with him, and got nowhere. That provided the inspiration for Are ignorance, stubbornness, and stupidity conservative values? It is his static brain, standing still, at rest, the defies the active motion of ongoing events, while holding stubbornness and ignorance, stupidly, in such high regard.

The original inspiration for that Essay was entitled, "Are ignorance & stubbornness conservative values?", which he positively claimed they were (I think LT sat in on that phone conversation). The only disagreement we had was whether Andy Schlafly shared User:Conservative's value of deliberate ignorance and stubbornness, which he insisted he did. Later on, after more interaction and being maliciously trolled, I had to add "stupidity" to the Essay, basically at User:Conservative's insistence.

And his constant spamming questionable, false, neocon, globalist, pro-Biden foreign policy, anti-Trump text and links into - not one place easy to correct - but dozens and dozens of articles, essays and mainspace is stupid, not conservative. Not even liberal. Just stupid. It is up to Andy now to decide if he shares User:Conservative's pride and the high esteem User:Conservative places on stupidity as a conservative value.

Note: Now we are hearing the same crap out of London regarding Trump tariffs that the Biden/UK globalists said about Ukraine: they will fight Trump tariff's "as long as it takes" - another suicide mission.

Nazi propaganda from US Embassy Kyiv. This is straight out of Mein Kampf, about Aryan man being civilization & "culture-bearing". [3]

Tell me the Insider is not anti-Putin anti-Trump anti-Musk pro-USAID propaganda. That's just one article. Scan all the headlines. RobS^{I don’t really care, Margaret}

Foreign Policy rag

Looks like your Foreign Policy rag flip-flopped or moderated its stance:

• It’s Time for Ukraine to Accept an Ugly Peace. RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 02:27, March 20, 2025 (EDT)

Imagine that. One of your favorite globalist rags admitting the US, NATO, and Ukraine were defeated by Third World spear chucker's with no flush toilets, incapable of innovation who cannibalize washing machines for microchips, defeated the foremost hegemon for the foreseeable future.

So go ahead. Ignore that the time is now to make peace. See what happens as the West digs its own grave deeper. RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 02:31, March 20, 2025 (EDT)

Two questions

(1) Why does Gatewaypundit refer to The Atlantic as "Trump-hating"? [8]

(2) Why do you repeatedly cite The Atlantic as a bona fide qualified authority without identifying it for its left-wing and globalist bias in your screeds?

RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 16:22, March 24, 2025 (EDT)

No response. I win. Ole ole ole. RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 18:11, March 28, 2025 (EDT)

This is what you call stuck on stupid

Antony Blinken: Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! [4]

"Mearsheimer says Russia is a weak great power".

• Russia is the only country (not China) on the planet with enough nuclear weapons to destroy the United States (this makes them, by definition a "strong power", unless you are a totally ignorant ass).

• Given the context which Mearsheimer speaks, the United States needs Russia to counter China (the US can't do it alone).

Spamming an out of context one liner, for a year, on a subject you do not understand is being stuck on stupid.

You would have been an excellent replacement for Antony Blinken in the Biden Administration. RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 18:11, March 28, 2025 (EDT)

MAD = Mutually assured destruction.

Also, the New York Post on a drunken Russian engaged in nuclear saber rattling: "Even some of the most senior officials are not immune to alcohol addiction: Verstka reported that former president Dmitry Medvedev, who currently serves as deputy chairman of the Security Council, often writes his saber-rattling Telegram posts threatening the West with nuclear annihilation while deep in his cups."[9]

Russian vodka kills more Russians that its nuclear arsenal has killed its foes! "But the biggest reason for the high mortality rate among men is alcohol abuse. “Every year, at least 150,000–200,000 people die in Russia due to alcohol, and about 80 percent of them are men,” Raksha says."[10]

Russia's military that is plagued by corruption and incompetence has struggled mightily for about 3 years against the much smaller country of Ukraine in population a size - weak! See: Russian military weaknesses. Conservative (talk) 18:27, March 28, 2025 (EDT)

Huh? What? What does that have to do with the fact that you carried the Biden/Blinken agenda for 3 years now? RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 18:38, March 28, 2025 (EDT)

Why do you think Biden & Blinken just had their security clearances & briefings cancelled? Could it be because they sabotaged the 2022 Istanbul peace talks? making April 2022 a pivotal moment in the future of global politics for which Trump now is trying to mitigate the damage?

But you keep, day after day, spewing Biden talking points. RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 18:44, March 28, 2025 (EDT)

Stuck on stoopid.

Evidence that I carried the Biden agenda? That is something you have never produced! One can easily and almost effortlessly see that both Ukraine and Russia are both authoritarian, corrupt and declining given the wealth of evidence to this matter! And it was clear that Trump was favored to win in 2024 - just like I predicted.

You predicted that the economies of Russia/China are strong and would remain strong - so wrong! I forecasted that these fragile economies would become weaker - which they clearly have!

America first - not Russia first!

And I laugh at the thought that a man obsessed with narcissistic rivalry desperately wishes that I was stupid and less intelligent than him. Lift yourself up via reading instead of trying to bring others down! You have called multiple Conservapedia editors stupid which is exactly what a man with Grandiose Narcissism would do! Conservative (talk) 18:56, March 28, 2025 (EDT)

You use Biden neocon talking points every day (or are you that stupid that you don't see it?). You just spammed them all over MPR & MPL for which Andy rebuked you.

Now, if you wish to argue that Biden & Blinken's security clearances were cancelled for some other reason other than making April 2022 a pivotal moment in the future of global politics, such as Russiagate or the Hunter Biden laptop, than you are essentially confessing to my claim that your disruptive trolling activity for the past 3 years does connect Russiagate, Impeachment 1.0 & the NATO war in Ukraine - evidence I will take to Andy of your disruptive and malicious editing. RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 18:57, March 28, 2025 (EDT)

I am definitely not going down that illogical rabbit hole.

Be a man and take me up on my challenge concerning Russia: My challenge to [redacted about Russia given on August 11, 2024]. Unless of course, you are too chicken because you are a girly gossiper who lacks machismo! Conservative (talk) 19:05, March 28, 2025 (EDT)

You were just rebuked by the boss for trolling. Stop it. Find someone else to play your trolling games with. RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 19:07, March 28, 2025 (EDT)

I have no boss! Several of the most trafficked websites in the world have been my web marketing clients. Anytime I want, I can put more effort into driving more web content to my material on other websites!

And recently, thanks to your inspiration, I decided to help an anti-Putin website that is now getting hundreds of thousands of page views to its anti-Putin, anti-Russian imperialism and anti-authoritarian governments content! Would you like to inspire me to do more? You are powerless to stop me from helping that anti-Putin website. "Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances." - Sun Tzu.

By the way, recently I sent Andy an email and here is an excerpt: "Andy, A quick note about one of our previous conversations. First, a good friend of mine is moving to the beautiful area of Crimea,Russia in 2025 and I am going to visit him. I will be visiting St. Petersburg, Russia too. RobSmith has never even been to Russia and he didn't even understand some of the basics concerning Russia which I reported on. Like any country, Russia has its good/bad aspects." Conservative (talk) 19:56, March 28, 2025 (EDT)

Daddy Warbucks

I don't think this Paul Warburg wannabee is anything more than a propagandist. The name is kinda a giveaway.

If you quote him, "Paul Warburg says...", the hearer is going to hear something quite different than you intend. Now one can argue that "Paul Warburg" is indeed this YouTubers birth name, however a gifted and knowledgeable "expert" such as himself should have had enough sense to use a middle initial or something to avoid confusing his followers.

According to Wikipedia, "The cartoon character, Oliver "Daddy" Warbucks in the Little Orphan Annie series, was purportedly inspired by Warburg's life and times. RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 13:04, May 1, 2025 (EDT)

Is capitalism working in Russia? Its economy is ranked 131th freest in the world (mostly unfree - Heritage Foundation)

"Russia's economic freedom score is 52, making its economy the 131st freest in the 2024 Index of Economic Freedom." - Heritage Foundation.[11]

Russia's GNP ranking is 10th in the world.[12] Russia's GNP (nominal) per capita is ranked 65th in the world.[13]

Remember according to the international relations expert John Mearsheimer, military might rest on economic might since it is expensive to field a military.

This is in response to the main page right post of "Putin's military industrial complex - when capitalism works." [14]

I used to be more interested in Russia, but the ButterGate scandal put a damper on that.

Russian President Vladimir Putin says that Russia's war economy is well balanced to supply both guns and butter, but the price of butter itself is now soaring as surging inflation distorts parts of the economy. The price of a block of butter has risen by 25.7 per cent since December, according to the state statistics service.

'The Armageddon with butter is escalating,' Russian economists claim on Telegram.

See: Butter prices soar in Russia amid surging inflation in war economy, CBC News, November 2, 2024 and Russians Resort to Stealing Butter Amid Shortages, Newsweek, October 29, 2024

This File image page, https://www.conservapedia.com/File:Butter.jpg, which does not even appear in the Butter article, evidently was boosted by clickbots to over 1,000 page views to promote User:Conservative's Essays in Google results.

In 2024, the Russian ruble lost a LOT of its value compared to the US dollar

I hope this information helps clarify matters. Conservative (talk) 08:45, November 24, 2024 (EST)

I warned against spamming too much of making Mearsheimer a credible and authoritive expert into dozens and dozens of Conservapedia mainspace and talk pages for several years. Now Mearsheimer says President Trump is delusional and his so-called "peace" efforts are doomed to fail. So here we created a problem for ourselves which now has to be dealt with for the remainder of Trump's term.

And to argue against Mearsheimer is to place oneself into the warmonger and advocate of perpetual war camp.

As to the guns and butter argument, I can't remember how many decades ago I last ate butter. Butter was finally knocked out of the market in favor of oleamargarine during the Vietnam war, which old timers then explained it was the ongoing legacy of World War II & the Korean war. In another 40, 50, or 80 years, maybe the predominantly rural & agrarian Russian Federation who make their own butter may have to convert to oleomargarine. RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 01:55, May 11, 2025 (EDT)

Final note: As a veteran and survivor of the oleo wars anyone who says there is no difference between butter and margarine is a propagandist. Butter is made from animal fat (replete with cholesterol and health risks), which there is a limited supply of, and margarine from plant or vegetable shortening which is abundant. RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 03:46, May 11, 2025 (EDT)

A Nazi created the Nazi kill list

Deputy Ukrainian Interior Minister and Advisor to President Zelensky Anton Gerashchenko is the founder and curator of the Ukrainian nazi kill list. Being that private handgun ownership is illegal in Ukraine, the defiant outlaw pose this government official strikes with his finger on the trigger is particularly intimidating to citizens.

I finally had the opportunity to read this "ButterGate" article which was spammed into at least 17 Conservapedia pages. The Newsweek report was built around a single instance of 2 shoplifters who were apprehended, armed with knives. The information was first posted to X by Anton Gerashchenko, the notorious neo-nazi webmaster who maintains Myrotvorets, better known as the Ukrainian kill list. Sen Rand Paul & DNI Tulsi Gabbard are included in the list.

Next time you hear Conservapedia is Nazi propaganda, don't laugh. A senior Admin made it so. RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 06:33, May 11, 2025 (EDT)

Conservapedia needs stronger anti-spamming enforcement. When an editor adds content, it should be in only one place - not 17 - and time given for other editors to vet the content. RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 14:18, May 11, 2025 (EDT)

I read the Newsweek article in question and the video in question was merely one data point and there other data points in the article that were stronger. Additionally, the Newsweek article clearly states that author of the article attempted to verify the video via the Russian government, but failed to do so. Furthermore, I have used multiple articles to indicate that butter and other food prices have had big inflation in Russia.

Do you seriously deny that the price of butter, potatoes and other food items have seen big inflation in Russia? If so, why?

Next, you use mainstream news sources at Conservapedia when you agree with them. So I will say again, rules for me, but not for thee. In short, you are being inconsistent. In addition, I will add that the sourcing of your material/contentions is often not good. For example, you asked me to look at a video by some YouTube leftists saying the economy of China was good and this is was while the China was in the midst of some major economic troubles such as their real estate crisis.

At the end of the day, I forecasted the current economic troubles of China/Russia which you took issue with. I was right and you were clearly wrong. Conservative (talk) 04:27, May 13, 2025 (EDT)

By the way, here are two other reports that the price of butter has soared in Russia: Record 82.5% rise in butter prices in Russia halted, Dairy News Today, 9-24-2024 and Russian Butter Squeeze Highlights Growing Economic Toll From War | World Business Watch | WION, 2024 Conservative (talk) 04:42, May 13, 2025 (EDT)

Digression

Early in the biggest event since World War II, which remains the biggest event in human history (after Christ), you once posted a Scott Ritter article on MPR which, in discussion with you and Andy I mentioned that Ritter was a convicted sex offender. The posting was taken down.

Since then, I have posted Ritter on MPR several times. Why? ("rules for thee but not for me") Because if challenged, I can defend Ritter. You, obviously, could not. You perpetually pay ABSOLUTELY NO ATTENTION, NONE, to the sources you use.

You must qualify the source FIRST, not regurgitate bigoted confirmation bias.

Your one attempt to qualify a source in the past 3 years, Prof. Mearsheimer, has again blown up in your face, who now says President Donald Trump is "delusional". RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 00:10, May 14, 2025 (EDT)

Your redundant complaint about "rules for thee and not for me" reveals your splitting (psychology) regarding MSM reporting. You think it's all or nothing - regardless of context. You pay absolutely ZERO attention to context in any reporting, in addition to your weakness or inability to qualify a source properly. RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 00:24, May 14, 2025 (EDT)

For the record

This mainspace page evidently refutes your previous position taken in April 2022.

Bottomline: You can't learn this stuff on the fly, and you are a long way from being able to speak, let alone write on the subject.

All you do is spam confusion to Conservapedia readers, and young readers in particular are the biggest victims of your delusions about your own qualifications and the neo-Nazi globalist rants you spam into Conservapedia. RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 23:59, May 13, 2025 (EDT)
