Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Tell that to a million dead Iraqis, thousands of dead Afghans, the children hit by endless drone strikes, the Yemeni innocents, the slaughtered Palestinians, the Cubans and Venezuelans crucified by sanctions because governments won't cow tow to US imperial interests...but pull the ladder up Jack because you're OK!!

How many Russians and eastern Europeans were disappeared during the cold war , millions .

How many afghans were killed when Russia invaded afghanistan massacred the then government , chemical weapons attacks purposely bombing civilian infrastructures during a scorched earth policy.

America bad , Russia good yada yada yada

It's stunning how many like you here are utterly ignorant to the actual world situation. The US have enjoyed near total political, military and economic hegemony since the collapse of stalinism but that unipolar world is now being turned on its head by the rise of China in particular and to a lesser extent Russia and India. This is a critical factor for the expansion of NATO which is at the heart of the Ukraine crisis and the constant chastising of China. It's about the US acknowledging the rise of these states but they want to keep them in check hence the constant stoking of tensions. It's a case of the US saying do as we say not as we do.....As I've said rank hypocrisy by them.

The same Iran claiming the Iraqi elections were fixed because no Iranian proxies got elected ,

Wait until the Iranian militias are asked to leave Iraq , that's going to get messy

The same Iran that's been weeks/months/years/days away from the bomb since way back when....

Partners including china -

China are not your partner vladi

From the Irish point of view..

Lieutenant General Seán Clancy’s meeting with Yury Filatov last Friday. Not sanctioned by the government…. So the newly appointed head of the Irish defence forces judgement is so fûcking askew that he is rocking up for meetings with Russian political figures in Dublin and not even thinking that it is a good idea to lift the phone to his boss and say… “ hey, is this a good idea ? “ but instead the government find out about his meeting on the Russian Embassy Twitter ffs…where

I mean that’s worrying, I’d basically fire his arse and discredit him publicly to the point he wouldn’t even get a job washing ducks for a living…

They went, on the back of an invitation that shouldn’t have been issued… and our thanks ?… The Russian embassy Twitter not doing his or irelands cause any good…”as well as prospects of contacts between armed forces of two countries.”.. that’s more damming than any photos…

We were being had, being used on our own doorstep…id say that’s a bit of an OG by us as far as the Americans would see it… there won’t be anything publicly but I’d say somebody from the American side would have put in a call to their opposite number here…

the head of our defense forces scheduling meetings with Russian diplomats unbeknownst to our own and his government ? Total naivety , the responsibility and importance of the roll to have somebody of that responsibility make a decision like that is worrying… it would be diplomatic suicide to sack the man but he should be ‘retired’ in a year…

Like your mate gatling you seem to be deliberately musseeading my posts or are simply obtuse. I'm not defending anyone, I'm pointing out the hypocrisy of US imperialism and their lackeys, they wreak destruction at will yet claim to stand for demo6and human rights, you seem to take no issue with that hypocrisy and are happy to run along with it.

And again with your lies. Now show me one post were I defended China or ant practice by them? Though I note you didn't mention Gitmo, still going strong after 20 years - you seem to have do issue with the US and it'spoor record on human rights....we can do this all day!
