    "As for 'which countries has Russia destabilised', are you kidding me?
    Apart from Syria - where he's the main reason the war has continued for
    the past 4 years"

    "Since he's been in charge he's returned Russia to a brutally repressive regime"

    "Supporting the Libyan rebels who overthrew Ghaddafi was a good thing"

    Ah, Humour - my old enemy!

    Good question. Honestly, it was a very long time ago and I think what irritated me about the film was that a lot of it was very loose and ambiguity or uncertainty was always resolved in favour of the point he wanted to make. For example, I recall a chart being shown to illustrate how current global warming was

    Fun fact regardint the 3 million, seeing as I'm having a debate with other people about Russia in this comments section - when I explained that to a Russian friend of mine she was horrified. Her exact words were: "Why the Hell don't they have proportional represenation like here in Russia? You have people whose votes

    I don't think you understand what evidence actually is. If somebody says that the CIA say something, that is not evidence. The CIA don't even actually claim to have proof. They're just conveniently making suggestions without disclosure. Even Tony Blair's WMD 45 minutes document was disclosed for review. Evidence. Not

    What's so bad about anti-Russia rhetoric, really?

    If the USA announced it was invading Iran, nothing would be hillarious at all. Also, why do you think the USA is going to invade Iran?

    No, the reason she wouldn't take a call from the Prime Minister of Taiwan is the same reason Obama always refused such calls. And every US president back to, oh, around 1970. It's because China thinks Taiwan is theirs and no US president wants to piss off China by acknowledging diplomatic ties with what China

    "Even if it is real I feel like people are making it more complicated than it needs to be."

    The climate is changing all the time and is almost inarguably currently warming. The causes of that are where the debate is, not whether the climate is actually changing!

    "Monkies". ;)

    In that case, I'm going to back away and let somebody else half-heartedly defend the movie.

    Hilary was a hawk who was one of the biggest, even instrumental, proponents of the bombing of Libya. If Hilary had won you can bet she would not have taken a call from the Prime Minister of Taiwan (because you know, fuck democracy if it pisses off China) and she'd currently be ramping up the anti-Russia rhetoric.

    Uh, it had some pretty flawed science in it but I don't think it ever claimed everybody would be dead by now.

    It was full on revelling in hate with a side-order of Internet tell me how right I am, imo.

    Watchmen is fantastic.

    I presume Motorhead Lobo rather than newer Emo Lobo…

    Honestly, I think it would be a great change from all the emotional wringers most of the guys she's been paired with put her through. They all seem to have more issues than Scientific American. Mick is old enough to not do that to her, he's straight-forward and, lets be blunt here, a big strong guy. Sure, he's a bit
