Hmmm. My son is one of that "uneducated" workforce. He has quite a few post high school college hours but is a graduate of Texas State Technical College with a wall full of certifications. He is considered a biotech engineer and he is that fellow that keeps all the exotic imaging equipment running in your local hospital. He is also one of the best read young men I have ever known, and with respect to history, government, and international relations better read and "educated" than many I have known with a specialist degree - particularly in the field of medicine. He is also very well compensated and owns a finer home than we ever did until leaving the military.

I would also argue his contributions to our society are certainly as valuable as many with those technical degrees.

I think we would be far wiser to direct more of our youth into such fields. With the right certifications some of our best and brightest languishing with their history degrees and voting for democrats could be highly productive and rewarded members of our economy.

I never did say uneducated anywhere on my post.
I also used the term educated for the job they perform not for the general knowledge of the World, international relations, history, etc...
Educated does not mean you are well rounded and refined, but it helps.

The mental gymnastics, if capable, of Putin sympathizers must be quite arduous in order to make facts fit the narrative.

These are the same folks that call illegal immigrants crossing the border an "invasion".

Gaslight much?

I am not the one justifying Putin's invasion of a sovereign country.

Saw this clip over on X. The average American HAMAS militant has no idea how close Palestinians were to a separate state )or much of anything else about the Middle East) - I am sure the average Palestinian has no clue either. All Arafat had to do was say yes. But he could not bring himself to do it. Rather like the race grifters today, he would have had no relevance without the conflict with Israel.

Outside of the Russian Oligarchy, tell us who is justifying it?

I'll wait.
