[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now it appears that Ukraine is going to violently and legally retake their land with a little help from some friends.[/quote]

Because friends stand up for underdogs who are being bullied.[/quote]

Lol right [/quote]

Of course you wouldn't understand.  Russians and republicans side with the person doing the bullying[/quote]

You are so cute.[/quote]

Fact that bears repeating:

[quote]Of course you wouldn't understand. Russians and republicans side with the person doing the bullying[/quote]

Calling it "cute" isn't going to change anything.[/quote]

That explains SO much.  Like the American commitment to Israel, Iraq, Libya etc.  Clearly protecting the victim from the bully there.  Tsk tsk. [/quote]

Eh?  
Israel was bullied by Arab neighbors, who literally wanted to wipe them off the face of the map (some of whom still threaten this) but was then built up to defend and fight back.
Do they now bully Palestinians?  Yes, and problematic, but that doesn't take away prior history of being the target of bullying

Iraq:  [b]Bullied by Shia sectarianism from Iran[/b], fought back.  Hussein also became a bully (Remember Kuwait?  Remember how badly he treated his own people?) and was smacked down for it.

Libya:  Bully, supported and exported terrorism.  Bullied and threatened genocide against his own people.  Got smacked down for it.

Maybe your own view of history leaves a lot of that out, but either way, whatever point you were trying to make didn't quite fly.[/quote]

Shia are a majority in Iraq, you dumbass, and they don't have to stay slaves to the Sunni minority just because the US prefers to deal with the Sunni regimes.[/quote]
