So it’s understandable that the culture of the greatest country on earth would be appealing to the populaces of countries that are not the greatest.
Zoran is VERY pro Russian.
Crimea will never again be part of Ukraine - Croatian president
Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014, will never again be part of Ukraine, Croatian President Zoran Milanovic said on Monday in remarks detailing his objection to Zagreb providing military aid to Kyiv. In December, Croatian lawmakers rejected a proposal that the country...us.yahoo.com
And there are others who have the white, red and blue of the Russian flag. America is a free country, unlike you know who.
No, I just don't think he's changing anything for Russia. If you're inferring he'll gain access to what we're sending Ukraine, that is possible but I don't think there are too many Ukrainians in the mood to help Russia. Should we have let him go? No, Biden is an idiot. Literally a babbling idiot.
George Washington said that in the 1790's, in a very different world that was generally unstable. He was right at the time but the world has changed. Just look who our biggest ally is, Great Britain. Some things from that time period simply aren't applicable today.
lol yes, because that's obviously the only other alternative there could be for someone who doesn't suck Ukraine's balls and goes along with their corruption.
That isn't what I meant. I have a bad habit of not fully expressing my thought because I know what I'm thinking so everyone else should...nope. I simply meant that I don't think Ukraine's escalation will lead to a nuclear escalation by Russia. Russia may escalate as well, if they can, but it won't go that far. Not in my opinion.
What if XZ-1421 was 170 light years away? Would you send my tax dollars there as reparations because even though the slavery was happening 170 years ago, we're observing it now?
I hope it doesn't reach that point. That would be out of control escalation and all bets would be off.
I'm from Corbin, I live one county north of Savannah now. Corbin will always be home.
Maybe it’d sooth your psyche for you to think that your tax dollars are going to equipment for Ukraine but also to the multitudinous welfare programs for disabled fat people, stay-at-home single mothers, millions of illegal aliens, foreign aid to every craphole nation in the world like Tuvulu, and SSI for every lazy bum who chooses not to work and lives in the streets. Think that might distract you from the ache of aid to Ukraine. That aid pales in comparison to welfare in this nation.
Let's cut that too! And btw, a lot of the "aid" we're giving is going to Raytheon to build bombs to blow stuff up.
I’m for it but I would elevate welfare cuts above foreign aid in priority because it is much more. 60% of Americans receive welfare in some form, 51% would be in poverty without it, 47% don’t pay taxes, every alien gets a 5-year free ride when they come to this country (including food, shelter, transportation, phones, etc.), 20% of Kentuckians are “disabled” and get SSI and other aid, 50% of all children born in the US start out life on welfare in the form of WIC, and so on.
No. It’s. Not. Countries take pride in their culture. It works for America because it’s multicultural. You’re assuming what people want and what’s best for them. My opinion of America isn’t shared by the people in other countries. You can’t apply high school psychology to geo politics or the social condition of a nation. Makes you look like an ignorant American that many countries despise. Countries absolutely hate those types of Americans who’s designs are to bend the culture to their way of thinking. Ticos here tolerate Americans because it brings money. They cannot stand it though when Americans suggest this or that based on their experience to change the culture. Even to add a sidewalk or fix a pothole. Or an American bitches because things don’t start on time, how you renew a drivers license, banking, etc,etc. They hate being told what they should do or how to do by Americans. And honestly when the ignorant American shows up to tell them how to do it it’s friggin embarrassing. I’ve seen it time and time again. When i travel I assimilate. I sit back and what the Americans be ridiculed by the locals for how they dress, their attitude, the way they organize.
You keep saying that about a lot of nato leaders. Shouldn’t that tell you something about this situation. Pro Russia means likes Russian culture understands Russias problem with the west.
It’s only different because we didn’t heed his warnings. The two big drivers of American problems today. Politics that’s already led to one civil war and has created a massive fissure in todays America and our self proclaimed position as worlds police that has created antipathy toward America and swelled the debt by massive numbers. I guess you think the Monroe doctrine is out dated too. Or hell the constitution because as you say “the world is different”.
I have done no such thing. The little I've been out of the country and my future plans involve their culture, not mine. Some things may confuse me, like, why wouldn't they want to fill a pothole, but I try my best to adjust to their culture. Show me where where I've said the world wants our values? If you're trying to twist my support for Ukraine into forcing our values on them you're mistaken. I'm for it because we are responding to a call for help.
I dont know about that. At some point soon Russia will run low on bodies. They are fighting an old trench style war, for some odd reason.
At least right now, I'm not in favor of that for multiple reasons.
