My people fled the Volga because they were better farmers than the Russians, and that made the Russians violently mad.
So I have no love for them.
But that is why my grandmother was born in Kansas, not Europe.
“Gee, they only killed tens of millions of people in the previous century, funded and directed every radical leftist revolutionary movement in the USA and elsewhere, and attempted to topple every other government on the planet so they could enslave the entire human race. But other than that, not too much I guess.”
You do know our very own CIA has done exactly this, don’t you?
Lol, no I don’t buy into stupid communist equivalency arguments. The man who shoots back in self defense is not equivalent to the murderer who kicked his door in and tried to kill his family.
As soon as the cold war ended we should have scraped the UK and Europe off our shoe and approached the Russian as potential replacement allies.
Hey I don’t like the communists either. But I don’t judge our actions by what others do - I judge our actions by my concepts of right and wrong.
But people need to realize the myth of our moral superiority is just that, a myth. We are currently destabilizing many parts of the world. Wait till you see what we do to Uganda!
“But I don’t judge our actions by what others do - I judge our actions by my concepts of right and wrong.”
Nonsense. You literally brought up the CIA as a “whatabout” response to what the communists did. It’s just a distracting argument, and nothing more.
If you want to talk about the sins of the CIA, go make a thread about that and I’ll be happy to talk about it, where it would be on topic, and not just a disingenous argument to derail a conversation.
Er. The USSR is long gone. Russia is no longer a communist nation. Authoritarian for sure. But the main nation engaging in direct attack on the US via fentanyl is China. Second is Mexico through facilitating the invasion from the south. That operation leads back to the WEF and Soros and the Intl bankers. Russia is small potato’s, nukes or not.
“The USSR is long gone. Russia is no longer a communist nation.”
I might buy that argument when they no longer have a KGB colonel serving as their dictator-for-life. Try it again then and maybe I’ll bite.
Since Russia had a much larger army such an attack wouldn’t have gone very well.
I guess you don’t know what communism is. China is communist. North Korea is communist. Russia is not.
“I guess you don’t know what communism is.”
Sure, sure, that must be what it is.
You extracted nothing with your lame questioning. You are a Russian windbag and buffoon.
You’re forgetting our superior airpower to their practically non-existent air power. The weather lifting and air support during the Battle of the Bulge saved Patton.
It was Patton’s prayer that did it.
Looks like a BOTTLE ROCKET attack
Lol
What communist economic policies are being forced on it’s population by Pootin’s govt?
I’m just saying the moral indignation is bunk.
If folks want to talk “real politik” let’s do it. I am suggesting we have an actual intellectual argument about this stuff.
When people are so emotionally attached to their presuppositions it makes it difficult to do that.
“I am suggesting we have an actual intellectual argument about this stuff.”
Then go make another thread where you can have that argument.
You people crack me up - I mean, if your insanity were not so dangerous it would be funny.
I will reply where ever and however I want Miss Manners.
Someone made a statement which I refuted. This is a stinking message board after all. You could have just moved on but now it is you who has derailed the conversation. So you got that going for you lol
