To be fair, the Russians also have shown a certain resolve and interest in staying independent from America and its NATO Empire. As for your "guess", ...

You seem to be confused. How exactly is being for a multipolar world order and against imperialism and world government "extreme right"??? I think wha...
June 02, 2022 at 12:17
Not necessarily. I don't know where you're from but, historically, the term "Russia" has been applied to the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union (USSR), ...
June 02, 2022 at 11:42
Well, it seems that not everyone is level headed. And some aren't even trying. As for the war being over soon, that's unlikely if NATO keeps throwing ...

Is that why you keep calling others "trolls" and "delusional"? :rofl: 50% Russian means Russians were the largest and dominant ethnic group and Russia...

Says WHO? The extreme left? Victor Hugo, H G Wells, Roosevelt, Bertrand Russell, and many other advocates of world government, are “extreme right”? Th...

Diplomacy leading to world government? Yes. I believe in a multipolar world order. As usual, you do no more than expose your ignorance. 1. The transfe...

"Recognizing borders" doesn't prevent a country from de-recognizing them or from invading the country whose borders it had recognized. How exactly do ...

Sounds like what you're advocating world government there. :smile: That depends on (1) how you define "aggressed signatory nation" (2) what happens wh...

Correct. On February 9, 1990, George H. W. Bush’s Secretary of State James Baker said to Soviet leader Gorbachev that following the unification of Ger...

In other words, escalation that can sooner or later lead to WW3. Biden did say "For God's sake, this man cannot remain in power". And don't forget the...

He mustn't be very good at "avoiding escalation" then, as he keeps escalating! :grin: He's just agreed to give Ukraine advanced rocket systems: Biden ...

More distraction and diversion from the NATO Troll in chief. :grin: IMO "how bad the US is" is very much the topic, given that according to Russia it ...
May 31, 2022 at 19:44
Yep. Empire and domination is "rhetorical drivel" when talking about America but "gospel truth" when talking about Russia. Well done, you can congratu...

On the contrary, it’s YOU who’s blocking out the fact that a state can de-recognize something it previously recognized if circumstances change!!! :rof...
May 30, 2022 at 22:23
Correct me if I’m wrong, but the OP doesn’t seem to disallow “pro-Russian” or “anti-NATO” arguments. So, saying that an argument is “pro-Russian/anti-...
May 30, 2022 at 12:42
I think what you guys fail to see is that even if aspects of what Russia is doing are wrong (and I never said they weren't!), America still bears a lo...

IMHO, the whole point of philosophy is to look beyond appearances by questioning the “officially correct” narrative. Though the Ukraine conflict is be...

The ports of Crimea were Russian from 1783 up to Ukrainian independence in 1991 after which they became "Ukrainian" but on the understanding that Russ...
May 27, 2022 at 21:39
There may be a difference. However, my point was that (a) even local combatants in those countries don't care much about civilian casualties and (b) t...

You're doing no more than expose your abject ignorance. But do carry on, by all means .... :lol:
May 27, 2022 at 13:30
You seem to be getting increasingly confused and irrational. :smile: You posted that propaganda piece on Tatar DNA to “prove” that Crimea belongs to T...
May 27, 2022 at 13:08
Numbered propaganda items?! :rofl: I think you’re in denial. Some estimates attribute 186,318 Iraqi deaths to the US-led Coalition. Lancet surveys of ...
May 27, 2022 at 00:41
Really?! Well, it looks to me like NOBODY in those countries cares about civilian casualties. And neither does the West, otherwise it wouldn't have in...
May 26, 2022 at 21:19
I didn't think you'd care about the truth. But thanks for the confirmation.
May 26, 2022 at 21:07
It isn't "a list of lies", but of things they could say in response to your claim. Whether (a) they're actually saying that and (b) they're lies, rema...

Depends. They could always say: 1. Civilians who have sided with NATO. 2. 150,000 got killed in America's jihad on Iraq. Russia hasn't killed anything...

It doesn't say anywhere that people aren't allowed to make anti-NATO arguments! As for your "disputing wrt Crimean Tatar issue" you could have saved y...

It's easy to be resilient when you get bankrolled, armed, trained, encouraged, and supported by the world's largest military organization. Besides, Ru...

What country did Russia "bomb out of the blue"? If you mean Ukraine, it wasn't "out of the blue" at all. It was because of the prospect of Ukraine joi...

So, you DO get ostracized, after all. And if someone doesn't think, speak, and act like you, he MUST be a "fucking asshole" because everything YOU say...
May 24, 2022 at 15:26
Sure. But that's only an extension of the BS idea that it's all Germany's and Russia's fault. Non-Westerners aren't stupid. If Westerners keep critici...

May 24, 2022 at 14:46
Shouldn't Russia's "ideology" be a matter for Russians to decide? And you do seem to regard Russian society as somehow defective and inferior, and the...

Nope, you weren't "questioning my theory of rightful owners" but your deliberate misinterpretation of it! It's precisely that kind of statement that d...

Well, most of them have ALREADY joined Turkey! There are more Crimean Tatars in Turkey than in Crimea! :grin: So, you seem to be not only ignorant but...

If you really want to know who the original inhabitants of Crimea were, then you should try to find out instead on fixating on Tatars just because it ...

You said "Putin's threat". Lavrov is not Putin. And you're not saying which of "Lavrov's comments" you're referring to. One of them was: Nuclear war: ...
