False Dilemmas and Russian Expansion: When MAGA Commenters Use Straw Man Arguments

Medieval chronicler Niketas Choniates manuscript illustration with text 'Straw Man Arguments Create False Dilemmas' highlighting false dilemmas and Russian expansion commentary

Bottom Line Up Front:

False dilemmas and Russian expansion dominate MAGA commentary about Ukraine, creating dangerous straw man arguments that ignore both logical reasoning and historical reality. Commenters like Niketas Choniates at the New Neo blog twist Ukraine’s requests for military aid into extreme misrepresentations about “sending American boys to die” and “taking nukes” – classic false binary thinking that serves Russia’s interests while undermining America’s strategic position.

Many MAGA bloggers and commenters bash Ukraine while unknowingly supporting America’s longtime enemy, Russia, who has been responsible for countless American deaths since WWII by backing Communist countries and terrorist-supporting nations. These voices ignore Russia’s documented expansionist history and resent Ukraine for not delivering Trump’s political opponent Biden “on a silver platter” – while simultaneously blaming Ukraine for Trump’s 2020 loss.

Presidential Debate – 9/10/2024

The Pic is from the Daily Mail article: Body language expert reveals moment Kamala ‘took over’ the debate with Trump and vice president’s ‘coupe de grace’.

And so, you know, there’s a safety factor that would be considered there that we … Read more

Is this ‘RAPE’ or Greta & Hunter just having sex?

I was looking for another cartoon pic of the egotistical Greta Thunberg and found the above one in the process. It’s a cartoon, but I don’t see the “Greta” in the pic as a “child clearly being raped.” Reminded me of a Hunter Biden picture (more on that in a moment).

Does Greta Thunberg know what an Ice Age is? Does she understand that without Global Warming the planet Earth would still be in an Ice Age?

Egotistical environmental activists like Greta Thunberg believe that they are more powerful & smarter than Mother Nature. Humans can’t even stop a simple tsunami, and yet these moronic egotistical environmental activists falsely claim that humans can change and/or “fix” Earth’s climate. They apparently believe that Mother Nature is weak & stupid!? 🤔

Mother Nature could pass a little gas (AKA fart) and wipe out the entire human race in a few days or less. Does Greta Thunberg know how many Ice Ages that Mother Nature has created, and then melted them when ‘She’ felt the need for it?

OK – here is the cartoon pic of the egotistical Greta Thunberg that I was originally searching for:
