No, I suppose you don't. Because people like you are monsters.

Sure it does, if you're a neocolonial idiot who has not paid attention to how every attempt as regime change by the West has led to tragedy and mass s...

So what? Seriously, anyone who talks about 'regime change' has learned nothing from the last twenty years and has brain rot.
May 15, 2022 at 06:48
Not sure how this is relevant. Half-dead murderous old men don't seem to really have an issue ruling anywhere one turns.

Yeah imagine taking into account foreign powers when conducting uh, foreign policy.

Anyway I'm sorry that your entire world view is supported by the existence of the state that must be hard for you.
May 12, 2022 at 02:45
Oh the poor baby hasn't heard of rhetorical questions either.

Is this what happens when you lick boots this much? Literal basic facts seem like 'projection' to you? Like, I'm sorry you don't know how contracts wo...

Joining a club of war criminals whose actions percipitated a deadly war for the sake of a third party seems like a bad way to defend yourself.
May 11, 2022 at 11:50
Oh go have a sop about it cry baby. You're the one advocating the acceleration of Russian antagonism while wearing the hat of 'security'.
