Comparing him to a parasite is mean to the parasite.

Let’s hope they do better in 2028.

Sure, this would not only perhaps prevent the rise in tensions but also partially benefit Russia’s economy which would only benefit the world especially with US, China, and India cooperating with each other.

The problem wasn’t her idea of taxing the rich, it was touting the endorsement of bankers in regards for her economic plans:

“is why Goldman Sachs . . . is why Moody’s, which is why Wharton School of Business, which is why 16 Nobel laureates, have collectively determined after analyzing our plans . . . mine would strengthen the economy, his would weaken it.” - Kamala Harris

Especially when the one’s that endorsed her economic plans can only be described as:

a "great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money "

Is touting the endorsement of bankers and Bush era war criminals really the most effective strategy that the democrat party can muster?

I don’t think Putin would want US to annex Canada on the basis that it would add tons of democrat votes on the basis of Canada not exactly being a MAGA paradise.

I just think it’s Trump being dumb as per usual.

Rude.

If that is what you believe, than I suppose I concede.

The Russian Armed Forces have committed mass crimes such as Bucha and pulled an Operation Babylift.

The sanctions against them is for the 2022 invasion which overall isn’t really worst than say America’s invasion of Iraq, in fact less so if you compare civilian casualties in both. Russia and its predecessor employed the same tactics in Chechnya (filtration camps), Syria and Afghanistan as Russia now does in Ukraine but the regime did not have the intent to exterminate the Chechens, Syrians, or Afghanis. Compare this to actions of say Sudan, whose regime explictly wanted to exterminate the Darfuri people leading to the deaths of hundreds of thousands in massacres.

Should US have been sanctioned because of Abu Ghraib? No? So why should Russia be sanctioned?

Despite this, Russia is treated as the kicking bag of the world. Look at 2014 annexation of Crimea where Russia took over Crimea without any shots fired, was welcomed with roses, and even the local military units decided to almost unanimously defect to the Russian side. But despite being rather bloodless compared to say western interventions, Russia’s membership in G8 was suspended and America’s membership was left untouched despite Iraq.

As to the genocide accusations, Biden said “yes,” but his administration, said “no,” or at least, “we are looking into it" per Rich Lowry of Politco. At least, as a conflict as a whole, I’d say no but definitions vary so outcomes of this question varies.

William Schabas states that, because killings of civilians were more common at the start of the conflict, that weighs against a finding of genocide.

Edit: sorry for the constant edits and re edits, I was quite known for that back in Reddit.

Then why have the veto power at all?

I mean, is something really stopping them from setting up their own task forces without America?

I don’t really see what’s stopping the others from setting up their own task forces without America.

The Black Sea ain’t an area where naval supremacy is really achievable.

People laugh at Moskva sinking to a country with no navy but forget that Ukraine has modern AShMs and the Black Sea is cramped and easy to deny access to. Russian ships sinking was a given.

Although I suppose with the Ukrainian military suffering disaster at Kursk, Ukraine is looking for any PR to send out.

No and not really.

The term “patheticness” describes me very well.

Do remember that Radio Free Europe/ Radio Liberty was created by Langley.

Nonetheless, I am not surprised. My beloved Putin and his friends loves their fleet of luxury cars.

In relations to a Russia allying against China, I am merely referring to Aleksandr Dugin‘s work, “Foundations of Geopolitics” that people like to mention here.

I suppose in reality, possibly not. I mean China and Russia are planning to start construction of a lunar base next year so relations can’t be that bad between the two.

Remember, Trump thrown Columbia’s academic freedom and freedom of speech under the bus to please this dude.

I mean the sanctions didn’t really affect Russia’s ability to maintain the SMO although I suppose, that ain’t really the reason why Trump changed the wording.
