Morgan Freeman says 'we are at war' with Russia

Who forces you to read my comments?

Nobody. I read your comment because I was actually interested in seeing what other people thought about Mr. Freeman's thoughts.

I've answered your question, now will you answer mine?
 
:lamo

I swear..watching the leftists on this site you would SWEAR the last 8 years just magically didnt happen.





SO OK...Romney was right all along. And you get that. So what you are all REALLY saying is elected Democrats are the stupidest ****ing people on the planet and have no business ever being near government leadership decisions. Got it. Message recieved...loud and clear.
 
Much as I enjoy Morgan Freeman's acting, I don't know that he is actually any wiser or better informed than Tom Cruise or Seth MacFarlane.


TMK, we are not strictly speaking at war. We are rivals in many ways, and there is some conflict going on, yes. The potential to escalate exists.

But we're not at war at this time.
 
Russia is led by Putin who is an idiot. He doesn’t seem to realize that his country is on the verge of economic collapse, and the recently imposed sanctions are only acting as a catalyst. The ruble keeps on falling, there is capital flight, depopulation and an aging population, but not enough immigration to replace the dying off since Russia is so racist and xenophobic. Russia is squandering their budget on defence spending they simply cannot afford it. The collapse of oil price has hit Russia hard. Their military adventures in Crimea and Syria have been too costly and definitely not worth it, especially since it is Iran that is now economically exploiting Syria and getting all the contracts there to rebuild the country not Russia.

What did you expect from a communist supercommando put in charge of a struggling economy? The result is about the same as one would get from making Bill Gates a 4-star general. During a war with China.

No,I won't.

Have a nice millisecond but don't look for any help from me.

You belong to a type of people that I don't waste time on.

Ignorance can be cured by education but there's no cure for stupidity.

I don't waste my time on stupid people.

Putin was put in place to protect 25-30 guys who bilked Russia out of billions (possibly trillions?)

Nothing more than a mafia style government with a huge army.
 
Hey, he was right about the comet, wasn't he?

He was but he kind of failed in trying to prevent it from killing much of humanity though- he just sort of saved himself.
 
What is with Hollywood-types thinking their opinions matter to anyone? It's like they have a false sense of their importance in the world. I like Morgan Freeman as an actor, but his political opinion is no better (or worse) than anyone else.

That is true yet his fame and fortune make his ability to make that opinion known is far greater. That, in fact, is what his beef with Russia is mainly about. Obviously, anyone can post on the internet or attempt to hack the websites of others - yet those with greater resources available to them (heads of "superpower" nations surely fit that bill) are much more likely to succeed in any such efforts.

I think people should abandon Twitter.

Putin is also arguably the richest man in the world (been estimated to be 3 to 4 times that of Bill Gates) and to suggest he doesn't know what's going on would be a hard argument to defend, I'm thinking.

Considering it appears he kicked our electoral process in the ass...if he's an idiot...what does that make us?

Taking your points, I'd submit terms like narcissistic, corrupt, immoral etcetera would be more fitting terms when reviewing them. They might also apply to the oligarchs.

Sadly, I see Trump aspiring for membership...I would not apply the term "idiot" to him either...perhaps a term more fitting his minions who got him elected to a position formerly held by "the leader of the free world"...too bad he's not qualified to maintain it.

Well, let's see...certainly not all "Hollywood-types" will qualify but it appears many are rather intelligent and have perhaps a better perspective in some cases due to their varied experiences...let's take a look at Morgan Freeman...his recent series about God...I watched the first few episodes and got bored but I'll bet he was exposed to more relevant information to draw from than just about anybody on the planet regarding that topic...on Hollywood's dime.

Although some relevant information could have been learned during that research, I doubt it but that's just an abstract example and granted, knowledge doesn't necessarily equate to a presumed outcome...take Trump for instance who, "Knows all the best people" and yet so many withdrew to avoid confirmation scrutiny or those "best people" whirling through a revolving door and now out...so certainly knowledge doesn't guarantee results.

Morgan Freeman is no doubt quite intelligent and knowledgeable in many areas...being an actor doesn't validate his argument but it gives him a bit of a bully pulpit to express his views...to dismiss them or accept them because he is a certain "type" doesn't address the real issue...furthermore, I didn't need to hear it from Morgan Freeman to understand the obvious...it's a war.

"Hollywood-types" with opinions that matter? Seems people like to elect them.
 
And Facebook.

Yes indeed. These sites do nothing at all positive for American culture and certainly do harm. Since the site owners aren't going to abandon them, we need the public to exercise their ennui to take them down.
 
No,I won't.

I don't waste my time on stupid people.

But you do waste time on threads you aren't actually interested in?
 
Oh! He's joined Rob Reiners group of clowns 🤡 THATS what this is all about. Well that makes PERFECT sense now.

Maybe a cyber war on the internet? But this has been going on for a long time. I have
no doubt that NSA targets Russia. Funny thing if Clinton had won I truly doubt there
would be all the concern about Russia. Russia has been doing this stuff for years.
 
Kinda seems rt is part of what russia is doing to harm the USA...

They shouldn't be allowed to break our campaign laws, which says

that people with foreign money entanglements as well as the foreign

sources/entities can not help any campaign in any way..

AND don't holler about free speech as the the first doesn't give russians

first amendment rights. Only us here.. AND in wartime, which we are in, it doesn't give

their mouthpieces that right either, as that is sedition.

How many know what my avatar is about..Ed
 
Morgan Freeman's parole should of been denied.
