There are always some who "gain" from wars and as a result, because of their powerful influences, they can make the leaders, on both sides, continue or start these wars.

Well, sure - that has to be part of the solution. But that's it? Sheesh - I hope it is that easy 😳

No, I don't hope what I say in this arena holds any weight? Why would I? I am just voicing my opinions. I enjoy hearing others' opinions on things and mulling them over - even long after the thread is gone. I appreciate a certain fairness in how posters interact. I am not a fan of the cherry picker...because most anything taken out of context can be manipulated to suit a poster's desire.
And you know...robbie could have said the same thing, just not in such an inflammatory way, and we could have had a decent discussion.
My point was, that out of respect for robbie, I would never go by your paraphasing/interpretation of his previous statements. That is certainly not to say I think you are lying or anything...it is just to say I like to personally process another poster's thoughts without the influence of others.

Originally posted by Landisqueen170I haven't been cherry picking. I have confronted you on your front-and-central "argument" in response to what robbie said ~ an argument you have repeated several times already. It has not been taken out of context.

A consensus of the freedom-loving world needs to get a legit, unified, stern course of action in place and implement it.

Originally posted by Landisqueen170Do you still need him to condemn UK military action and also explain why UK military action has often been in concert with US military action?
Huh? I was just responding to what he wrote here today. I think I have explained myself ad nauseum. lol
