I said we all have our own things to be blamed for, but pretending that Russia is the one with the war crimes and not anyone else like what you go around talking about is fake, and if you are not from the US, why are you so focused on defending it?

even CNN says so.
edition.cnn.com...
it says a 1/3rd are poor..........thats not even close to a majority, and besides that, ok, they are poor......we have a lot of poor people around the world.....
she said "a lot", didn't she?
1/3 of 100000 is a lot, isn't it?
you've asked for a proof, now you're trying to ignore it? how surprising.
No the point is youre always going to have a section of every group of people that are under privileged........
The post was acting like it was Israels fault and responsibility to take care of them.......its not.......just like its not the US responsibility to take care of me other than the rights given to me in the constitution
Thats what im asking them to prove

I'm not pretending that Russia is the only one with the war crimes. There is balance and some Russian posters (and others) tend to forget that Russia was a belligerent in WW2, including conspiring with the Nazis. The entire Cold War was based on Russian repression across Eastern Europe. I am not defending the US, only getting a bit of balance lest it just becomes a continuous rant that the US are the root of all evil, because they are not.

youre full of it.......what you have going on is antisemitic bs.........no facts no nothing.......i actually provided facts and figures, your arguments are at the best infantile and at the worst ignorant of actual history......
Your examples for mexico, and Israel and the US dont even make sense.........
You have at most a rudimentary understanding of world politics, and at the worst indoctrination.......
What i figure is youre in high-school and think you know, but have no idea how history actually works........move on, because youre not going to change my mind and you dont understand history enough to even challenge.......

i want to see you criticizing the US as well, i already listed lots of reasons why, and we have not even started listing them all, will you be happy to list all of those on a separate thread and ask for explanation as well as you did about Russia?

Putin sees himself as Tsar and he feels it is his duty to restore the territory of the Soviet Empire. He's not getting any younger, Russian Machismo is VERY real, more than can ever be imagined in the U. S. Putin has us at each others throats, there is not a damn thing we can do about it without doing the unspeakable. Ukraine is not worth that in the big picture. If Putin strikes, it will be fast and bloody. By the time we respond, his forces will already will already be in full control. Ukraine forests are probably crawling with Spetsnaz as we speak, they will cut that country off in a matter of days. Why does Putin want Ukraine so badly? Oil and the fact that Ukraine is the breadbasket of Eastern Europe. If he takes it, he will do so well before spring because he cannot upset the grain harvest as he will need to feed the Ukrainians. Don't forget the Ukrainians that are loyal to Russia.

I would like to know who the Ukraine thinks have their backs if war really did break out? Surely this is just posturing and provocation for some political ends?
Militarily, this is how Honduras will declare war on the United States.
