Russian thugs in an alley, holding a knife to Ukraine's throat, PP says "Ukraine's wellbeing is no concern, nothing to see here, move along, mind your own business!" |
Of course it's not a concern. At any point of time there are dozens of thugs holding dozens of knives - do you protest each one? Azerbaijan is holding a knife to the throat of peaceful civilians in Artsakh - are you doing anything? Shall I keep going down the list of conflicts you don't give a fig about? |
Eh. Common ground. But I do think you've overhyped US influence. The majority of countries on the planet act in their own interests, and only heed Washington when they align. Even the smallest of countries give the US the finger - a source of frustration to many US diplomats. The point is that there are many in the World that don't want a big country overrunning their borders. Ukraine is that poster child right now. Even if your love for the US is limited, don't punish Ukraine for it. There may come a day where the crazies take over another country or even the US and turn the World into a dustbowl. There may come a day where the World will come together and decide to live by fair rules and just laws. The ony question in the end is - what do YOU stand for? Show me a Man with no enemies. I will show you a Man who has never fought Evil. Take care. |
Evil men have enemies too, PP. presence of enemies is not the proof of goodness. |
Last time I checked, Azerbaijan wasn't a global superpower. Can't police every state, have to prioritize. |
Just look at Iran. Their evil regime has quite a few enemies, too. Can't speak to much of any good they've brought the world to garner enemies. |
Ok so I see you simply misinterpret what you read, not sure if it’s on purpose or just reading comprehension issues |
Nope. That was all on you and what you project. |
Never said it was? The point was that if you never stand up against Evil, you're part of the problem. The main difference is that Evil makes enemies, Good finds enemies. |
So you're a solution in search of a problem? |
Who are you to be talking? Maybe you forgot that the Iraqi armor we fought against was Russian BMPs and T-72s. Maybe you forgot it was Russian SCUD missiles that Iraq was firing. Your Russian friends were propping up iron fisted dictator Saddam Hussein before the US even showed up. In fact that's a common thread in virtually every major conflict the US has ever been part of - that the Soviet Union / Russia or someone else was already there long before the US, to destabilize, to fund, arm and train insurgents and terrorists, to foment and plot revolutions, to pull coups, to install and prop up dictators.... but somehow you want to ignore all that and pretend the US is the sole reason any of these conflicts happened. Profoundly dishonest. |

Huh? Wow. You really are twisted, you know? ![]() Let me leave you with some words from long ago. “to live in truth, to have faith, to repent one’s sins, give proof of humility, to love justice, to be merciful, to be sincere and wholehearted, and to endure persecution” These words may mean nothing to do as your are now, but someday, I hope it does. Take care. |
