DOA means Dead on Arrival. It’s what hospitals call a person who arrives to the hospital in an ambulance Dead on Arrival. Meaning they died before arriving at the hospital. Cops also use it to refer to a person who was already dead when the cops arrived to the crime scene.
It's like when a team calls for time out in football. The game is DOA for a few minutes.
Totally normal use of the English language, and definitely not more endless sophistry from Ernest.
No, absolutely no.
DOA by every definition means something like literally 'dead on arrival.'
It never means 'eh it might be ok after a delay.'
It means 'this never had a chance and was defunct at a very early stage.
You will not find a use of the term meaning anything materially different.
If it wasn't clear, I was mocking Ernest and his inability to admit when he is wrong.
The Putin supporters here have had unwavering confidence since before this war even started. They've been consistently wrong, but their certitude has never wavered.
Russia better get ready for some harsh reminders about their low status in the world at next week’s G20, where the leaders of the 20 richest nations in the world will chastise Russia for its illegal invasion of Ukraine.
"Sophistry" is a dozen messages straining interpretation of term to desperately try and win a point.
Full context and meaning of exactly what was meant was provided within minutes in a successive post. There should be no confusion.
Weak sauce.
That sounds exactly like what you're doing, so it seems the term was used correctly.
Ernest's predictions:
NATO expansion is dead on arrival.
NATO will expand, but it will take a year or so for Turkey to allow it.
Clearly prediction 1 is wrong and prediction two was off by more than 10 months. You went 0 for 2 this time. It happens. Take the loss and move on (like the Russian army around Kyiv).

I took the "W" a long time ago.
If you want to spend a another dozen posts backslapping the rest of the remedial class that 1+1=3, have at it.
Does Zelenskyy know this is real? Has Zelenskyy grasped reality? When is Zelenskyy going to wake up and realize he has been a puppet of U.S. intelligence community and European & U.S. weapon manufacturers? Soon U.S. politicians will move on. As I have stated numerous times only using slight variations of my username, 1/2 a dozen pro Ukrainians have spammed this thread for weeks. Even some of the pro Ukrainian stooges who have spammed this thread have moved on. As soon as Jackie Speier, U.S. Congressperson and others in U.S. Congress move on, what will Zelenskyy do? I have stated for weeks it would a be a loser position for U.S. politicians to support Ukraine. U.S. politicians should have done Zelenskyy and Ukraine a favor months ago. U.S. politicians should have told Zelenskyy and Ukraine to either negotiate in good faith or Zelenskyy should have resigned. Some former U.S. military O-4 to O-8 publicly advocated for Ukraine to fight Russia. Some former U.S. military O-4 to O-8 went against all of their risk analysis training most likely due to person ties to Ukraine or ties to greater Ukraine region. I told all the Ukraine deadenders on this thread not to fixate on Ukraine and CNN listing number of dead Russian military personnel. Many of the Ukraine deadenders on this thread are college graduates age 50 and older. I hope most of the Ukraine deadenders are more sober and rational on their day jobs.
Wow. It seems like you blame Zelenskyy personally for the fact that you still live in your parents’ basement. Most of us are smart enough to realize that Putin and Russia are to blame for this conflict, and since Ukraine isn’t a pathetic quitter like you, they don’t just give up when faced with a challenge. Again, what’s your (parents’) address? I’d like to come take your stuff and f*ck your wife and then tell you that you should have negotiated in good faith. I guess being Russian, your Cold War experience is that of a loser, which is what you’re projecting onto the current invasion.
Look pal, I am not going to stand for a bloody war that could cost American lives that could potentially lead to a nuclear exchange and WWIII all because you wanted to chase some ukrainian tail.

Look pal, the commander of the Moskva is DOA. He got blown up when the flagship of the Russian navy got sunk.
Here he is. His name was DOA Anton or something. No one misses him. Not even his Russian family misses him, even though he is DOA.
Yes, I dont want you to end up like that because America should begin to slowly ease its clenching fists and focus on the real issues that threaten americans.

Is the real threat to America a stunning lack of education displayed by posters like yourself?

Precisely. It is people like you who fly ukranian flags outside their garage but then go drive to Starbucks. People who claim to believe a 5000-mile away conflict is more important than our affairs here. People who gobble up what they see on the internet and on tv and lose any ability to think independently.
