Oh. My ego doesn't change history, and has no effect on how our country handles such matters.

As a superpower, our leadership does superpower things.
I can relate that they do it and prove that they do it, but I can't alter it.

Nobody claimed that it does Rob. You just go on thinking you are super though.

Sounds like Jan 6th, on a much lesser scale.

Prove that is a picture from Jan 6th 2021. Provide links, captions, transcripts, the equipment used to take the photo and the person who took the photo.

Prove that every single photo, video, live report, court trial, court conviction, incarceration, death, injury, first-person testimony, physical evidence, from that day is faked.

Or, stop making yourself look like a fool by pretending it never happened.

I vote for you making the effort do disprove the entire thing.

Trump. Making things better for workers across the US.

Oh so when you can't provide proof or fact you resort to some of that misdirection you accuse me of. Oh you are a riot.

Trump won.

On flip side of that coin, does that mean we should let nuclear powers invade whomever because there is a threat of nukes?

We're well past "letting" the invasion start. There is no upside to us being involved in any way with Ukraine/Russia problems. Unless you're a politician with "interests" over there or a good ol' fashion war hawk.

It's definitely more than a pissing match. Maintaining the American Hegemony is paramount to maintaining the value of the USD.

Neither country involved is a threat to the usd...it's a serious reach to believe Russia has the clout for that...

Dude still shows up when he’s not wanted is straight up disrespectful. No one wants him in Chiraq.

So Russia/Ukraine had no effect on the price of gasoline? No effect on the price of coal? No effect on the prices of nickel, palladium, aluminum? No effect on fertilizer prices? Wheat? Gold? Natural gas?

Amazing. They must not be a very big country, to have no consequence on the economy when they go to war.

So, why are we afraid of "pissing Putin off"?

The events of Jan 6th are accepted by the entire world who watched it unfold live on TV and in person, from the event itself to the still-ongoing aftermath of it, to the endless amounts of photographs, testimony, video, audio, tweets, twats, snaps, insties, facies, and whatever other way information is shared.
The only people saying it never happened are nutjobs, or idiots trying to push some weird narrative.

It's long past the stage of being accepted as true history and doesn't need to be proved at this point, any more than having to prove the moon landing was real, JFK was assassinated, Apple holds the patent on the iPhone, or Edison didn't invent the light bulb.

Once something is accepted as proved, there is no need to prove it every time it is referenced. Just like no one has to prove E=MC2 every time they reference it, and no one has to prove how/why a combustion engine operates when they get in a car and drive it.
If you want to claim something that has been proved to exist does NOT exist, then it's incumbent on you to invalidate all existing proof of that thing, whatever it may be.

So, go ahead and disprove every piece of evidence regarding Jan 6th 2021 at the Capitol building.
Start from the beginning, and follow a standard timeline, if you will.

If you are unable, then the events of Jan 6th happened, and your denial is just some weird ploy.

Still just arguing your brains out. I don't care if the events of Jan 6th are accepted or disputed. I told YOU to provide proof that the picture you posted was of Jan 6th 2021. I asked for specific proof... none of which you can provide so you went to that playbook of yours and tried some misdirection. You are no better than the people you put down Rob... in fact, you are a lot worse.

Ahhh, I see where you are going with this. You think if I can't get the original negatives or the RAW data from the memory card of the camera that was used for the picture, then the events must never have happened.

Does this standard apply to everything? If so, then we must assume that anything you have ever claimed happened, every shared a picture of, every told a story about, is all "faked" since you can't provide 100% provenance.
Correct?
Or is it only Jan 6th that you apply this standard to?

By the way, the photo you are questioning was taken by Leah Millis, a photojournalist for Thomson Reuters, founded in 1851.
She took several pictures that day.
Here is another one:

And here is another one:

Oh, another one:

Oh, and here is the one you think is faked. Look familiar?:

And before you claim I somehow faked all of them, here is the link to the Reuters website. You can go view them (and many others) there, and see the attribution:

https://www.reuters.com/pictures/inside-jan-6-us-capitol-attack-2024-02-06/

Now, please disprove everything that currently proves what happened on that day.

Go ahead. Prove that Leah Millis isn't a Reuters photojournalist. prove she didn't take the photos attributed to her. Prove the Reuters website doesn't exist, or was somehow taken over by me. Prove Reuters doesn't exist.
Any one of those would be valid proof that the picture is fake.
Or, provide your OWN proof.

I'll wait.

So you are going to tap dance around and not provide proof. Typical left wing tactics when you have been publicly proved wrong.

Has anyone heard about nato authorizing bombing inside Russia?
