40. I do not engage with those who repeatedly attempt to reframe my & other's comments- invalidly and deceptively.

That you cannot even distinguish the meaning of a very ACTIVE "opening salvo" versus current events "teetering on that which could incite WWIIII" shows a failure to interpret and understand that is pretty shocking for a DUer. For your benefit, the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand was the active salvo for WWI (if you remember or learned any history whatsoever) and for Americans, the bombing of Pearl Harbor was that active salvo that brought us into WWII. Nowhere have I suggested a single or combined event that could be responsibly construed as an "opening salvo" though it is clear you don't understand the meaning or context of this term at all. So, your strawman is not only deceptive and erroneous but rather unbelievably so. I find your attitude unbelievably unserious and dangerously cavalier, but even more so when you deceptively try to reframe the argument to suit your whims. Others on this subthread clearly agree. They aren't favoring your comments, that's for sure.

I certainly don't want to be proven right. This is not at all, that. But take this shit seriously! Or if you can't, return to your computer game.
