@benroyce I feel so desperately sorry for this man.

I too agree. But how successful this will be remains to be seen. But yes, keep up the pressure.
Also from the article:
"And yet, all the talk of a “shift on Israel” within the Democratic Party is premature. The Democratic establishment remains firmly in the Israeli camp, even if it is striking a more critical tone ahead of the midterm elections. We should not mistake election-season displays of sympathy for a human-rights awakening on Palestine." -
Cute. You believe in Santa too? You think that democracy has something to do with this?
Also, your accusation is baseless. Show me where I said that.

Is it reverse day in your head? Putin is the egomaniacal shithead who invaded Ukraine and perpetuates the war. He's a fascist who wants Ukraine destroyed or entirely under his control. He never agreed to stop.
Under Putin's orders more than 20,000 Ukrainian children were kidnapped and taken to Russia. Many given new names, dates of birth, their identities wiped and rewritten.
And he said he won't stop at Ukraine.
And there was no agreement about NATO not expanding East. There was only a comment in a letter that was in the context of German re-unification. Not that NATO would never accept members from further East of some arbitrary line.
The biggest driver for countries applying to join NATO is threats from Putin, the derisable cockalorum.

Sure. Would you like some sugar with that?

You make it sound very casual.

You look at this map and you think 'holy shit Russia is trying to take over Europe!'? It reminds me of another area of the world where there used to be a good number of bases around a country "for defensive purposes".

Lol, poor reply. Not surprised.
Putin is a war criminal. He sacrifices thousands of Russians each month simply for his own ego. Too weak to admit to his overseas assassinations. Can't back his pals in Iran. Is failing in Africa.
He's turned Russia from a feared superpower into a weak, depleted, impoverished, increasingly isolated backwater. Even the other BRICS countries are backing away. Russia might as well just surrender to China now. They've got most of the cards.

Talk about poor replies, you didn't even bother to respond to me, you simply spouted anti putin blabla.
I would like to know more about this 'other BRICS countries are backing away' bit. I'd appreciate your source.

@Fou_ad @benroyce Don’t know, don’t care, it was a flip remark. In the off chance you’re not an algorithm, you should know that pretending like you didn’t say that you think Ukraine’s DIPLOMACY (not democracy) should be subject to Putin’s approval and this is a legitimate reason to murder Ukrainians exposes you as a #RussianTroll and you can go fuck yourself.
Sorry but your attempts to sealion me into a serious debate have failed. GFY #RussianTroll

@clintruin @weyoun6 @frequencyfault @quizzicus
which you get BY VOTING. you want el-sayed right? so you tell people to get off their fucking asses and vote for the democrat el-sayed
right?
you understand that is what works?
and "everything the same nothing matters nothing changes waah waah waah" is just useless empty loser shit, right?
-
@clintruin @weyoun6 @frequencyfault @quizzicus
so you're just openly embracing your identity as an immature edgelord
which is fine. you do you
but why be a pathetic edgelord about american politics. why not manga or pop music or food trucks?
do you experience validation via negative feedback? you get called a moron and it fills you with the warm and fuzzies?
i'm glad to help out then, my friend:
you're a loser

I believe I gave some decently reliable sources for my arguments.
It still might be wrong but at least its an attempt at something constructive.
I can't say as much about most people on this thread that prefer ad-hominem attacks. -

say some douchebag came here and started saying israel's genocide of palestinians was appropriate. or even deserved! that, somehow, palestinians are to blame
and they had "sources," whatever the fuck that is supposed to mean
and of course this "calm" "reasonable" voice then clutched their pearls at not receiving the "proper" respect for the excrement coming out of their mouth:
what would your reaction be to that kind of hilarious and stupid behavior, my dear friend?

Guess what, there are plenty such douchebags and it is quite exasperating. Yet, I engage with their arguments and try to show how absolutely fucking absurd they are.
The difference i see here is that at no point did I utter such nonsense as you are trying to impart to me.
The "sources" i shared are about specific topics trying to show how one party has been demonized by our media for a long time and that possibly there is some shenanigans happening behind the scenes. Like Iran.1/

You dont have to agree with me, but to compare what I said to genocidal rhetoric is absurd.
I said nothing about Ukranians deserving to be killed. Thankfully I am able to differentiate between a government and its people.
Russia has committed atrocities. Ukraine has committed atrocities. Europe is not innocent. The US is certainly culpable.
All these can be true at the same time. -
Again, your reading comprehension is pathetic.
Europe and the US, aka NATO has been moving their bases closer to Russia since the end of the cold war. (Of course its democracy at work). If you can't even *consider the possibility* that the dipshits running those institutions have been pushing for war to line their pockets then you are too far gone to make a difference in your upcoming fascism.
I wish you nothing at all. I could care less.

NATO did not expand East
What happened is Eastern European countries ran kicking and screaming and banging on the door to be let in to NATO
Now I want you to use that big brain of yours and figure out why, you pathetic shitstain
What were those countries worried about? What happened to Ukraine?
What does Putin's boot taste like, shitstain?
Why are you so fucking dumb? Why do you think reversing victim and offender works on anyone except complete morons?

Thats funny. Yet the end result is NATO expanded east.
Thats the fact. Everything else is potential BS.
My question would be wtf does Russia want with Europe? The inexistant resources? While Russia has a fucking continent and everything they could need? Oh I forget, Putin is a land hungry ghoul. Thats it, thats the excuse?
Again, the current result is its the Western bases that moved closer to Russia.
Care to draw the comparison woth Iran? Or are you ignoring that on purpose? -
So you think all those people you mention wanted what their governments decided? Where the hell are you from again? You agree with every decision your government has taken?
How many Ukrainians were against joining NATO? How many are native Russian speakers? How many of those were killed by Ukrainian militias?
As in any other geopolitical arena, things arent as clear as you seem to depict.
An exception might be made for Israel. Though even I need to acknowledge that it isnt.
