What happened that finally made you believe that your country was one of the bad guys? For me it was the US invasion of Iraq. After that, there was no doubt in my mind that the US government is harmful to the development of humanity - in a word, evil.

I am an honors graduate from the United States Military Academy, and if I was not cynical and disillusioned about the USA before, the Hunter Biden saga has made me lose all faith in any respectability in the US government. By this, I mean from the corrupt presidential

Let me get this straight. The Pentagon and CDC are claiming that radiation does not cause cancer. This explains a lot!!! (Unfortunately, not in a way they had hoped)
Ukraine fired over 100 missiles of different types at Belgorod today and they were ALL shot down. Some of these were AGM-88 HARMs, i.e. weapons that were supposed to destroy Russian air defense, each missile costing $300K-$1M.

The manner in which the USA has been able to print currency backed by nothing valuable and trade this "nothing valuable" for others precious resources, must go down as, by far, the biggest theft in the history of mankind

Ukraine truly is under foreign occupation, but it is not Russian! The entire Ukrainian government is occupied by those who loyalties lie not in Ukraine, but in the "West". The "Ukrainian" government does not care about the average citizen of Ukraine dying in the trenches. Those
When I was in school in the 1970’s one would often encounter the rhetorical question, “What would you have done if you were a German citizen during the holocaust?” Now it is clear that US politicians and a good portion of the population would have been enthusiastic collaborators.

By taking the maximalist approach to negotiations, Zelensky plays into the Russian’s hands. That approach makes it easier for Russia to occupy any and all of Ukraine without appearing to ignore attempts at negotiations for settling the conflict. Like many times in the past, the
Here is my tentative theory. The terrorists were most likely mercenaries who were in Ukraine . The mercenaries did not plan their actions all that well, but they were professional soldiers so they did some things well. The action was not that well planned by the mercenaries,

If France becomes an open, active participant in the Ukraine war, especially if France is tied to drone strikes, etc. on Russian territory, that means France, itself, is subject to Russian counterattack.

To Ukraine’s “We had nothing to do with the Crocus bombing,” Russia’s response will be, “This is not retaliation for Crocus, it is just the SMO/war��. It is just as easy to deny retaliation as it is to deny responsibility. The situation is not worth wasting time arguing over.
@RWApodcast
USA hegemony peaked on 9/11/2001. Say what you want about Bin Laden, or whoever pulled off 9/11, on a cost/benefit analysis, it will go down as one of the greatest if not the greatest strategic strike against a dominant power in history.

That's right. The Russians will have to provide transportation for the weapons from China.

Perhaps war with NATO was seen as unavoidable 2 years ago, and the SMO was the intentional plan to address that issue. Going slow is frustrating but it gave Russia 2 years to move their pieces into place while giving NATO a false sense of complacency. Russia has been grinding
This is what I thought about and wrote on February 24, 2022 after Putin announced the SMO, when he explained this by saying that “we were left with no choice. I wrote then - the main thing is that Putin again does not lead the situation to the point where he has no choice.” No

In other words, NATO is now saying that anything that ends with any rump Ukrainian state, no matter how small, is a Ukrainian "victory" and will be given NATO membership.
@Sprinter99800
This is precisely why a 2 state solution will never work. Israel won't allow it. They won't even allow the status quo, which is far from making Palestine an independent state.
@djuric_zlatko
This is fundamentally a declaration of war by the Czech Republic. Russia is ignoring this as it amounts to a mosquito bite or less, but the principle puts one on a slippery slope, for example, what if 100,000 Czechs decided to "join the armed forces" of Ukraine?
Toy poodles like Denmark are precisely the entangling alliances that Washington and Jefferson warned the early USA about. Due to NATO, a tiny country can drag Russia and the USA into open warfare.
