#1 Treat the Ukraine how ever you want, you have not come to their aid hence you are cowards.

#2 If Soros wants to help Ukraine he could pay for building some power plants there that don't depend on Putin. (Among many other things). That would attack the problem at its source.

#7 why do you hate Soros, OldSPook?

Breaking the pound yes, but that was business

since then he's been saying he's been promoting open societies.

i've lost track since then. One would think Open societies would be a good thing.

#11 ...if by "open society," you mean a centralized, authoritarian state run by an oligarchy comprised of Ayn Rand villains: then yes, George Soros has worked hard for that.

#12 Soros hijacked Karl Popper's legacy; ref, The Open Society and It's Enemies.

Billionaire investor and left-wing political activist George Soros, a disciple of Karl Popper,[20] has argued that sophisticated use of powerful techniques of subtle deception borrowed from modern advertising and cognitive science by conservative political operatives such as Frank Luntz and Karl Rove casts doubt on Popper's original conception of open society.[21] Because the electorate's perception of reality can easily be manipulated, democratic political discourse does not necessarily lead to a better understanding of reality.[21] Soros argues that besides the requirements for the separation of powers, free speech, and free elections, we also need to make explicit a strong commitment to the pursuit of truth.[21] "Politicians will respect, rather than manipulate, reality only if the public cares about the truth and punishes politicians when it catches them in deliberate deception."[21]

Like most on the Left, Soros is a conspiracy nut.
