@shavixmir saidquestion is, who are YOU to decide?
Does it have borders? Does it have a government?
And who are you to decide what is and what isn’t a coubtry in the first place?
Is Scotland a country? Or Wales?
there is agreed upon criteria, palestine doesnt qualify.

@shavixmir saidYeah Russia may well realise that an authoritarian dictatorship in the Kremlin is really bad for business and overthrow the regime. Democracy will blossom in Russia and a couple of years down the line it joins NATO and the EU. Good news for Europe, the Russians, and Taiwan.
With the anti-Russian rhetoric returning to cold war levels, every institute (capitalist, media or otherwise) ramping up sanctions, propaganda and donating and the mass concern for Ukrainians; fleeing or not, will this deter other nations from invading others?
Once this crisis has subsided, and Israel decides to annex more of Palestine, are we going to see this same leve ...[text shortened]... against US forces?
Will this end up protecting Taiwan?
Could something good come of all this?
The return of anti Russian rhetoric has weirdly coincided with their invasion of a sovereign European state, a coincidence? Maybe🤔

@shavixmir saidWhen the uk joined the us in its invasion of Iraq a million people marched through London to protest. Parliament changed the rules so that a PM like Blair could not make that sort of decision again.
Quite possible. Quite bleak too.
Do you think if the West (NATO, the US or Europe) invade a country and there’s no outcry about it, that there will be a mass pointing of fingers and shouting of: “Hypocrite”?
Or do you reckon people will shrug it off?
The Russians need to get up on their hind legs and change their blood thirsty war mongering expansionist regime.

There you go, you right-wing quack.
@mott-the-hoople saidHow about “Israel blockaded and starved thousands of Israelis while denying them the right to vote”.
and still no answer.
You like to overlook the fact palestine is only a word.
Does that make you feel better?
@mott-the-hoople saidPalestine is on the list:

@shavixmir saidI have no idea how your comment relates to my comment. And you are naive to suggest how wrooooong interventions are when a civilian is killed during the process.
Ahhh, so you can argue that US interventions can be applauded, even when the results to civilian lives are much worse.
Gotcha.
Ah, so you do not get the old adage that for want of a (horse)shoe, a kingdom is lost. Next time, the horseman will get off the crippled horse and save the kingdom.
Libs think in strange ways. Hey, how bout if our intervention just results in broken arms, nobody dies, would that be OK?
@Contenchess
Ah, you mean those SUB humans with that dark skin thing going on which clearly PROVES their inferiority to the VASTLY superior intelligence of whitey, right?
I mean, Whitey has done SO much good for the planet.
@AverageJoe1
Or how bout the consequence of sending NATO or US troops into Ukraine IMMEDIATELY starting WWIII, my guess is you figure you have put your money into stocks that will go ballistic if the US gets into another stupid war.

@mott-the-hoople said"America" isn't even a word - it just appeared on a map drawn by a nobody some day - and yet you pretend it's HaShem's own country.
and still no answer.

@athousandyoung saidNo. I don't give a @#&* if they do it to their own, who have a vote. But they're doing it to a slave people who have no say in their holocaust. That's much, much worse.
How about “Israel blockaded and starved thousands of Israelis while denying them the right to vote”.

@shallow-blue saidSo what?
"America" isn't even a word - it just appeared on a map drawn by a nobody some day - and yet you pretend it's HaShem's own country.
Meanwhile, the Philistines are in the Old Testament.
Is their some law of the universe that says you can't take another country from the people who currently reside there?
The Palestinians are whining.
The native Americans are whining.
The blacks are whining.
Sounds like a bunch of people whining because they got their asses kicked 🙄
@shallow-blue saidYes, in Gaza and the surrounding areas.
