U.S. imperialism chitchat corner.

Ah, so you've turned yourself into a conspiracy theorist, in order to call out another bunch of supposed conspiracy theorists...

hmmm that's an usual strategy there Yurt, but whatever works for you buddy! lol

Oh okay, you're the gatekeeper of what opinions are allowed now are you?

If it's not approved by Yurt, then it goes in the conspiracy theory pile... got it.

There sure are a lot of little dictator types that pop up on these threads, who think they have the right to shut down aspects of a discussion that they don't personally like. Despite voicing their supposed opposition to dictators and tyrants out in the real world... interesting... very interesting indeed. 🤔

Personally, I think you're talking out your ar$e tbh. There is nothing conspiratorial about discussing the west's role in the current crisis. Or the west's role in world affairs in general. Or further indeed, the west's role in unfcuking this royally fcuked up mess we're all in.... as the west is very deeply involved in all of the above.

As any knowledgeable, honest or observant person would be capable of ascertaining.

I couldn't care less if my observations about the west or the US, make people throw around lazy unintelligent monikers like "PutinBot" etc... as this is simply a sign of someone's childlike reactionary mindset. It says more about the person calling names, than it ever does about the person you're aiming the invective at.

I actually agree, Russia invading Ukraine will be the worst decision they've made in years. The only thing I would add is that none of it is a big deal for the us, Russia is not a threat to them, they have an economy 1/10 the size and a military that is no threat to them. The only people that will suffer will be Ukrainian, Russian and European hydrocarbon consumers, in that order.

No they invaded 8 years ago ,as you well know parts of Ukraine are under foreign occupation

It's to keep the money waterfall flowing into the likes of Lockheed Martin, et alia. That's the U.S's function now, bend itself and everyone else's backsides up in the air to be repeatedly drilled by the likes of disgraceful corporations like that.

I'll ask you the same question I asked the other one, who couldn't answer.

What do you want the US to do about it?

Why would it not be ok to interfere in Iraq - a regime that butchered it's own people, but ok to interfere in Saudi Arabia?

You're all the same. You want it both ways and whatever way it's just to have a dig at America for some unexplainable pathological reason.

This is peak internet debate. Who the hell talks like this? Like everyone else posting here, you're an anonymous user on a relatively insignificant message board expressing opinions. Not agreeing to meet you in person to debate topical issues isn't cowardly! Putting that "challenge" to others is delusional.

"Debate me in a live setting" - it almost sounds like you expect it to be televised!

I've been seeing plenty of chatter on US message boards lately, about their own government being hypocritical in condemning Russian actions in Ukraine, considering what they get up to themselves around the world.

I wonder will more US citizens start to put pressure on their own government to take a different stance towards Russia, in order to possibly avoid another cold war escalating?

I don't know if we really have the caliber of political talent in modern times, to de-escalate both nations away from a dangerous new cold war stand off.

The US/western approach of simply laughing at Russia, and effectively dismissing their security concerns in the region, clearly has not worked. Perhaps a new fresh approach to diplomatic relations is required now.

I see China has come out strongly condemning the US/NATO over the Ukraine crisis too.

Chinese assistant foreign minister said: Washington was the "culprit" for "fanning up flames". "NATO expansion eastward all the way to Russia's doorstep." "Did it ever think about consequences of pushing a big country to the wall?"

Strong words, and worrying times ahead I think.
