This obsession over not suggesting regime change borders on the insane...

It's as though people seem to think (or want to think) it will be okay (and preferable) for everything to go back to the way things were before the Russian invasion and occupation of Ukraine. It's as though people just want to look the other way.

It's like watching an actor storm the stage to slap a comedian who told a joke he decided he didn't like, cuss him out from his seat in front of a worldwide audience, and then a few minutes later the studio audience gives the aggressor a standing ovation amidst applause as they shower him with an award as though nothing prior happened.

STOP looking the other way. STOP thinking things will go back to normal. And STOP thinking if only we don't upset violent people then maybe they will just leave us alone. It didn't stop Jeffrey Epstein. It didn't stop Harvey Weinstein. It didn't stop Bill Cosby. It didn't stop Idi Amin. And it won't stop Putin. The jury is still out on Will Smith. Putin needs to be removed.

The idea of regime change in Russia is stupid and dangerous. Stop pretending a country with the largest nuclear arsenal in the world is the same as some common criminal.

Figures you would give Smith a pass though.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow After you explain the nuance between invasion and occupation, perhaps you should stop pretending Putin is playing 3D chess.

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@MarkPaul You are the one pretending you have any idea what is going on.

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow While you are the one showcasing you have no idea what is going on, what you are talking about, or how to engage in substantive discussion. In all my time reporting the news, I have never come across a subscriber as deficient in the news as you.

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@MarkPaul Being arrogant and clueless is your specialty.

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@MarkPaul And give up pretending to be a journalist. It is getting pathetic.

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Not knowing what an invasion and occupation is your specialty. At least you are good at repeating propaganda. Tucker Carlson might be looking for a side-kick.

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow You are always speaking ill of me and Trudeau. Why do you resent us both so much and with such venom?

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@MarkPaul I do know what an invasion vs an occupation is. You have proven repeatedly you don't.

And propaganda is your specialty. You literally just repeat CNN and MSNBC and pretend it is unique and pretend you are a journalist.

I don't like proven frauds like you. You make Bernie Madoff and Jordan Balfour look legit.

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow
1. You obviously don't know what an invasion is. You know the history of your conviction on that as well as I do.

2. You and Tucker Carlson say the same things now. The only difference is his statements are being broadcast across Russia and you remain unknown.

3. Now you are just repeating back charges I have made against you. Thanks for flattering me by copying me.

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@MarkPaul Again you are the one who has proven that you don't understand what those words mean.

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@MarkPaul Tucker is your ally, not mine.

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@MarkPaul You also insist on repeating Rachel Maddow's lunatic conspiracy theories. Even she has given up on that bs.

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow This proves you are a fraud by accusing me both of reciting Rachel Maddow rhetoric and Tucker Carlson rants at the same time. Before you move the goal posts you should stop to determine where they are. Get your bearings.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow @MarkPaul Its like listening to an old married couple bicker 😂

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@MarkPaul Just stating facts.

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow You wouldn't know a fact if it slapped you in your face. You claimed you were stating facts when you childishly insisted that Putin would not invade Ukraine and berated anyone who questioned you. You are a fraud and you run recklessly fact-free.

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@MarkPaul Sorry but I don't deal in alternative facts like Trump who you obsess over.

And again I am sorry you can't deal with the fact I could not predict the future and still fixate on that.

Again, you are the fraud. I don't pretend to be a journalist with 6 doctorates.

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow All you deal in are alternative facts like Tucker Carlson who you aspire to be like and recite the same propaganda lines. I'm sorry that his lies are being run in Russia and yours aren't. You need to get over that.

You can't predict the future, you can't analyze the present, and you don't understand history. At least be complete in your self-assessment.

You are a fraud because all you do is plagiarize statements from a corrupt Russian regime while pretending to be some edgy radical. You are basically an idiot in the class of idiots of "the base." I look forward to seeing you in GI Jane 2.

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@MarkPaul Again, Tucker is your obsession, not mine. And all you do is parrot bullshit from MSNBC and CNN so spare me the bullshit. And again you are the proven liar here.

You are right, I can't predict the future but you seem determined to attack me for failing to do so.

Again you are the proven fraud Mr I am a journalist and have 6 doctorates.

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow You're the one reading and reciting from the same script as Tucker Carlson. Not only is he your obsession, you probably dream, eat, and dress like him too in the full fanatic behaviour only you are capable of.

You can't predict the future, you can't analyze the present, and you don't understand history. That is what you are being attacked for.

You are a proven and confirmed fraud. I know it. You know it. And the North American people know it. And, so do Ukrainians. Soon all of the EU will know it. Yet, still I look forward to seeing you in GI Jane 2.

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@MarkPaul Sorry but that is just a straight up lie. Again he is your obsession. Not mine.

You are right, I can't predict the future but you attack me for failing to do so. I am not a prophet. Get over your disappointment.

Again, you are the fraud. Claiming to be a journalist and to have about 6 doctorates that change every few months.

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow You are a fraud because you won't admit you are repeating the same lies as Tucker Carlson. At least he has "base" viewers to show for his fraudulent behaviour. What do you have?

You presented yourself as a prophet and now admit you can't predict the future, you claimed to be aware of current events, but now can't analyze the present, and you pretended to know history, but you don't understand it. I am always disappointed upon blowing the cover of a fraud. You are no exception.

I continue to look forward to seeing you in GI Jane 2.

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@MarkPaul Fraud is your specialty.

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Fraud is your middle name.
