Just like USA has paid compensation for all the deaths, thefts & skullduggery that it has created. USA is responsible for the current Ukrainian mess that it has been fomenting for 70+ years.

Who is Igor btw?

@FrayedBear Why do you persist in spouting nonsense? You are not swaying anyone. You just make yourself look silly (or bought). It is perfectly obvious to the whole (free) world that Putin is the agressor in Ukraine.

@Flyingsaucesir NO one, least of all (I assume) @FrayedBear or myself, is condoning what papa doc Putin is doing or his (self professed) reasons for doing it.
What is objectionable is that the UK and the USA and to a lesser extent NATO are painting themselves as the spotless hero on a white charger barrelling in filled with Christian righteous anger, trumpeting (pun possibly unconsciously intended) "Jerusalem" to save the virgin damsel in distress "Ukraine" and in a consummate act of hypocrisy condemning as something they would "never, ever, ever" do all the things they have already done themselves time and again when perpetrated by Vlad the Insaner and the politically spurious Ukrainian government themselves.

@LenHazell53 In the decades since Vietnam we have learned that the atrocity (massacre) at Milai was not a one-off. But in every other conflict the USA has tried to limit civilian casualties. Yes some drone targeting has been errant (negligent, horribly wrong) but at least the Pentagon acknowledges its mistakes and pays reparations. Again, what Putin is doing in Ukraine (and did in Syria) is far worse than anything the USA has done. In war crimes, scale and intention matter.

@LenHazell53 Weirdly, @FrsyedBear IS condoning what Putin is doing in Ukraine. Read his words. He is trying to justify genocide. It's disgusting.

And USA didn't?

@phoenixone1 the good old USA created current slaughter in Ukraine whether Ukrainian genocide or deaths of Ukrainians & their foreign fascist nazi mercenaries by Russians or vice versa.

@phoenixone1 Ever heard of Small Pox infected blankets being distributed to native Americans, Wounded knee, and the attempted genocide of the indigenous peoples of the Americas?

In the words of one Native American "Saying that the white man discovered America and considered it a gift from god, is like me walking in to the car park and "Discovering" your BMW and thanking Gitchi Manitou for the birthday present."

@phoenixone1 And from his own mouth he confirms it, he knows what his nation has done, he does not care what his nation has done, he does not acknowledge the wrong doing and wants us to forget about it and his national and historic responsibility for it and allow the world to allow them to KEEP ON FUCKING DOING IT, without either comment or judgement but becomes offended at us for reminding him as if we were the people who did this.
Well guess what buckeroo YOUR ancestors were OUR ancestors too, we do feel bad about it, we did abolish slavery before you did, we do express sympathy and empathy and send help to the countries we ravished, and it is NOT enough. But you don't want to talk about America's past, lets talk about the present... we do not turn our privately owned and run for profit prisons in to back door slave labour camps, populated in the majority by non whites caught and imprisoned by an openly racist police force, we do not let people die because we judge them to be not wealthy enough to be entitled to decent health care, we do not have offshore prison camps for political prisoners and suspected terrorist that practice torture under legal loopholes, we do not practice extreme rendition (a lovely euphemism for international KIDNAPPING) and we do have as near as damn it a REAL democracy, which though far from perfect is NOT a farce like yours with electoral colleges, lifetime appointees to the supreme court and a bought and paid for congress and senate DESIGNED to allow corrupt criminal presidents to escape justice for their fucking crimes.
Sickening wilful ignorance and inaction on your part, OWN up to it, I can't vote in you bloody country because I don't live there, but you do and you tolerate it all, and all the time stick your fingers in your ears and pretend everyone else is wrong, while consoling yourselves that if all else fails you can cuddle up to your perfectly legal and government sanctioned gun in bed and comfort yourself with the promise that YOU would never take it in to a school and fucking massacre a whole load of kids, so that makes you one of the good guys, and it's not your fault you fucked up laws allow thousands of children to die every year for your "Constitutional right" to carry around a BIG metal phallus substitute in your pocket to make up for the fact that deep down you know you live in the most fucked up society on earth and that makes you little willy cringe.

And stupid *

@FrayedBear Where do you find these obscure websites? You must really hate America.

Seriously you were a lawyer?

And you cannot read?

It states "Writes Connor Freeman | May 3, 2022".

What part of "writes" do you not understand? Stupid*

*[en.m.wikipedia.org]

These are Cipolla's five fundamental laws of stupidity:

1. Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
2. The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.
4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places and under any circumstances to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.
5. A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

Corollary: a stupid person is more dangerous than a pillager.

@FrayedBear Do you dunning kruger much?

@FrayedBear Nothing wrong with the question. You posted it, therefore you own it. Note the 3 likes (so far). The true corollary is you don't understand much.

@Alienbeing oh yes I understand your stupidity *. It fails to benefit the other 95.75% of the world's population & many of its own citizens. Therefore it is not intelligent. [srv1.worldometers.info]

@Alienbeing I do not notice many liking your verbal diarrhoea!

@FrayedBear Who the fuck is Connor Freeman?

@FrayedBear Nice pivot! When your arguments fail on their own lack of merit, it is a good tactical idea to turn tail, run way, change the subject. But in so doing you are tacitly acknowledging defeat. Your surrender is accepted.

You do realize, I hope, that you have garnered zero support here. No one has "liked" a thing you have said. 0 + 0 = 0 (Gooseegg!)

@FrayedBear You have always illustrated that you don't understand a thing; so don't claim sudden enlightenment now. You still don't understand.

@FrayedBear You rarely notice anything, so your continued lack of enlightenment is no surprise.

So I guess we can conclude that you are all in favor of NAFTA
