Actually no - not at all.
Ireland is not on the wrong side of history regarding its support for Palestinians.
The world used to be filled with white, European, colonialist fully apartheid regimes that brutally oppressed the people who lived there before the white colonizers showed up and then one by one they disappeared until there were just two left -
one being apartheid South Africa and one being apartheid Israel.
And then apartheid South Africa disappeared leaving only Israel as the last remaining white, European, racist, colonialist fully apartheid regime left in the world but some day it too will disappear as did all other similar regimes before it.
The leaders of the white, racist colonialist oppressive apartheid Israeli state think that they will maintain their oppressive racist regime forever but that's the same thing that the leaders of similar white, racist colonialist oppressive apartheid regimes in Kenya, India, South Africa, the Philippines, Vietnam and many other countries thought and of course they were wrong.

One can distinguish between the impact of bombing war factories, railroads, oil refineries, etc that may kill civilians but also disrupts the war effort and on the other hand bombing homes, schools, hospitals.
Also, Germany didn't surrender until virtually all of its forces had been annihilated and the allies occupied virtually all of Germany including Berlin.
Finally, a really important point:
Germans in at least West Germany were living under a horrific, brutal dictatorship and had the possibility of surrendering to democracies such as the United States, Britain and Canada and when they did surrender to those countries although things were very hard at first for Germans in the long run they have done very well.
Ukrainians on the other hand have been living in a democracy but if they surrender they will then face endless occupation by a brutal imperialist military representing a brutal, oppressive dictatorship and things likely would be very horrific for a very, very long time.

Places like London (UK), Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, Seoul, Luxembourg and Switzerland are expensive despite not having a lot of mineral resources or fossil fuels in relationship to their populations.
Cities such as New York, San Francisco, Toronto and Vancouver are expensive despite not really having a lot of mineral resources or fossil fuels nearby.
One can't help notice that real estate prices are much lower in Calgary than in many other places in Canada and not much more than the real estate prices in Halifax.
Edmonton, which is even closer to the oil fields, has significantly cheaper real estate than does Halifax.
Obviously real estate prices in mining communities such as Sudbury are relatively low.
Sure, if all of Canada's fossil fuels and mineral resources disappeared overnight Canada would be a poorer country and real estate prices might fall across the country but I think the situation is more complicated than saying that real estate prices are high across Canada because Canada has a lot of fossil fuels and mineral resources.

@Mr.Brewer83 a Libertarian world doesn't sound very free or good.
I sort if like having government that builds all the roads and sidewalks
instead of the "Libertarian paradise" where that's done with free enterprise by individuals
and everybody has to pay a toll every mile they travel down the road
and the local road owner might block your path if they don't like you.
Don't want to go back to those days.
Not very free at all.
And I sort of like government agencies making an effort to ensure that
our food and water and cleaning products and cars and elevators, etc., etc are safe.
I also like government making sure that dentists, doctors, architects, engineers, airline pilots, etc
actually are properly trained and qualified and know what they are doing.
Also like government funding schools and helping the poor so that I'm not mugged by
a poor, uneducated person desperate for money every time I go out.
Also like a government that makes an effort to protect our environment for the sake of
innocent animals and plants and for our sake as well.
Also like a government that funds pure research that no private company would do
but which can lead to great long term benefits for mankind.
So let's pass on the primitive, backward "Libertarian paradise" with its lack of freedom, safety, equity,
Environmental protection and progress.

@leilamiller8201
Throwing out nasty insults when you clearly don't understand the history
or the situation gives you a very bad look.
Palestinians were driven out of their homes and off their land
by aggressive, violent, European Colonialist Zionist invaders
who then forced Palestinians to live in overcrowded impoverished prison camps
surrounded by walls and barbed wire fences & repressive soldiers and police.
The tiny bit of land that Israeli oppressors left Gaza Palestinians with is far too small to produce enouyh water, fuel, electricity, food, etc
especially as Gaza has been under blockade by Israeli oppressors
for many years.
If the Zionist invaders let Palestinians have their full human rights
and live, work and travel anywhere in historical Palestinian territory
without constant harassment by Israeli police and soldiers
then then Palestinians could supply their own food, water,
electricity, fuel and other supplies.
Next time you're thinking of posting online learn a little of the history
and develop a basic understanding of the situation before
putting out a post - would save you from saying something ridiculous
and save you a lot of embarrassment.

My first thought is to remember a man who talked about people who say "We should have a new subway here and another one here and another one here".
The man said "Anybody can draw lines on a map and say we should have a subway there. But actually building subway lines is another matter entirely".
In a similar way
anybody can draw lines on a map and say "that's where the borders of countries will be a century from now"
but that doesn't make it happen.
Must say it's strange for this map to show so many countries or parts of countries joining other countries when in the 77 years since WW2 there seem to have been virtually no instances of this happening and I don't see why the next 77 years should be so different than the past 77 years.
There have been cases in which a country has seized land that was historically part of the country
(eg India seizing Goa or China seizing Hong Kong)
but to imagine so many places deciding to join countries with which they have no historical connection?
Don't see it happening now when it hasn't happened on the past 77 years.
And frankly the age of empire and the age of countries invading other countries to take them over seems to be in the past.
Other than Russia what country does that and other than seizing Crimea and I believe a bit of Georgia I'm not sure that Russia has seized significant new territory.
Sure China is being aggressive in different places and may seize marginal bits of land from India or other countries but to seize much of Eastern Russia?
I don't see it.
China does claim that part of Eastern Russia was part of China unfairly taken by Russia in the 1800s and one blogger predicted that while Russia was busy invading Ukraine China would try to seize that territory.
However that territory was not nearly as big as what is shown on the map and obviously China has not invaded Russia even though Russia moved a lot of troops from the East to the West and is mired in a quagmire in Ukraine.
If China was going to invade Russia this was the ideal time so if they aren't doing it now they likely never will.
There is also the fact China will lose half its population by 2100 so I'm not sure what it would need all that extra land for.
It might want the resources but I am thinking that as Russia becomes a pariah, isolated from the west
China feels that it can have immense power over Russia which will need connections with China so no need to invade Russia when one can just tell it what to do.
Another problem with this map is that I don't think it takes into account climate change.
Half of Florida is going to be under the sea by 2100 as will be many other places in the world.
As well, much of the middle east,
India, parts of Africa and possibly parts of the Sourhern United States and other places will likely be too hot or have too little supplies of fresh water or be hit too often by major storms to be inhabitable.
And in terms of Canada splitting apart and much of it joining the United States there are serious problems with that prediction as support for the separatist party in Quebec is extremely low now
and although some western provinces might be closer in values to the United States than the rest of the country it doesn't mean that they have American values.
They like their public health care,
hockey and CFL and history, etc
and they don't want their children conscripted to fight in foreign wars or want American levels of gun violence.
I think they also might wonder why the Unuted States is still stuck in the dark ages and hasn't gone metric yet.
There is also the fact that western Canadian provinces know that they can have significant political influence in Canada but that if they join the U S. they will have much less political influence.
Also, American culture is going to change drastically by 2050 anyway.
This video may assume that the United States will have the same political culture in 30 years as it has now but that will not be true.
Biden won by 65-31 percent against Trump in the under age 30 group.
In 30 years if Republicans don't change rhen Democrats will get 65% of the vote of those under age 60 and will win all age groups under age 80.
80% of the people who listen to Fox TV are 55 and older so they'll almost all be dead in 30 years.
In 30 years the Unitrd States will be more urban, much less conservative,
much less religious, much more liberal and progressive so if people in western Canadian provinces want to join a conservative, Christian fundamentalist country in 30 years the United States won't be a good choice for them.

I don't think much of the religious extremism of Hamas and its violent tactics against civilians but the oppression of Palestinian people obviously didn't start just the other day when Hamas fired rockets into Israel as you seem to imply.
Such oppression has been going on many decades.
And although once again I don't support Hamas violence against civilians (especially children)
I understand it.
When invaders come and steal almost all your land and put your people into overcrowded, impoverished prison camps and regularly abuse your people just to show your people that they have no power and must put up with the oppression and abuse and the invaders make clear that that is how not only your life but also how the life of your children and grandchildren will be and the oppressed people can see how hard life is for their children while the invaders casually travel through the land living, working and traveling where they want and enjoying life it is possible to develop immense anger at all the invaders occupying one's land including the civilians.
I can imagine that in Poland, France and other countries occupied by Germany in WW2 that any Germans who came in and occupied land taken from the original inhabitants would be seen as enemy invaders even if they were civilians.
In London there is a statue of the British "hero" Queen Bodica who fought back against the Roman empire after Roman soldiers had abused her family.
When Queen Bodica's forces captured Roman towns they would kill every single Roman citizen in town because they saw every Roman living on British territory as an oppressive invader by definition.
When the Mau Mau rebellion occurred in Kenya in the 1950s they would sometimes kill every British person at a location because they saw every British person in Kenya as being an invader and the British treatment of the native people of Kenya was absolutely horrific on a huge scale.
Again I am horrified by attacks on civilians but I understand that if a people is brutally oppressed and imprisoned in their own land by invaders then some of the people being oppressed will get extremely angry at all the invaders who are occupying the land and seemingly enjoying themselves with complete indifference to the suffering of the people displaced from their own land and sometimes that may lead to violence nor just against soldiers but also against civilians in the invasion group.
Notice that the world used to be filled with white, racist, colonialist full fledged apartheid states but that one by one they ended either because of rebellion or because the leaders of such states realized that an apartheid, colonialist state would never have true peace and stability because the oppressed people will one way or another fight back and now with the end of apartheid, colonialist South Africa the only full fledged white, racist, colonialist, apartheid regime left in the world is Israel which explains why Israel is hated in so much of the world where people previously were themselves oppressed by white, racist, colonialist, apartheid regimes.

Yes, you're right that sometimes more attention is paid to the plight of Palestinians than to the plight of other people in other countries.
But that's not always true.
I would say that before the outbreak of violence between Hamas and Israel the Palestinians weren't getting a lot of attention in recent years whereas people suffering under repression in China, Mynammar, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria and Venezuela were getting a lot of attention.
And persecution of people in Arab countries is and has been horrible in some cases but the oppression of Palestinians does stand out in some ways.
As far as I know the Palestinians and Muslim people in Western China are the only people in the world to be forced to live in overcrowded, impoverished prison camps surrounded by walls and barbed wire fences in their own land by colonialist invaders and to have their movement and actions constantly monitored or controlled.
And Palestinians have had to live like that for many decades.
Israel is a white, racist, colonialist, fully apartheid state of the sort that used to exist all around the world but now Israel is the last one standing which is why it gets so much attention.
One can talk about the white, racist, colonialist nature of countries such as Canada, the United States, Argentina, Australia and New Zealand and about French
neo-colonialism but I don't think there is still any country that matches Israel for the level of outright explicit full bore racist, colonialist apartheid.

The nature of a peace deal is very simple and hasn't changed since
Russia first invaded Crimea and Donbas in 2014.
Russia stops its unprovoked genocidal invasion of Ukraine and removes all
its forces from all of Ukraine including Crimea (including Sevastopol),
publicly recognizes all of Ukraine as a separate sovereign nation
and promises to never interfere in Ukraine again,
agrees to hand over to the Hague or Ukraine all Russian troops
accused of war crimes or terrorist acts for trial,
agrees to pay full reparations to the people of the world
(especially the poorest and most vulnerable)
for any increases in food or fuel prices and food or fuel shortages
they have dealt with due to Russia's unprovoked invasion
and Russia agrees to pay full reparations to Ukraine
as compensation for deaths and injuries, disruption of business,
disruption of lives, mental health distress,
destruction of public and private property
and for de-mining and environmental restorations.
And of course Ukraine joins NATO so that it is more secure
and other NATO countries are more secure.
The total reparations Russia will have to pay will certainly be trillions of dollars
and it must be paid quickly as Ukraine and Ukrainians shouldn't have
to wait years or decades to rebuild their country and themselves.
Given that Russia is getting near bankruptcy this will mean
that Russia will have to borrow almost all the money
at high interest rates and it will take many decades for
Russia to repay these loans but that's a good thing
as it will help ensure that Russia doesn't have the
money to rebuild its military for a very long time
and that will make for a safer world.
There is absolutely no reason for Norway or Saudi Arabia or
any country other than Russia to pay for rebuilding Ukraine.
The Russian military is like a gang of thugs that went into a shopping mall
and for no reason at all attacked and killed and injured many people
and destroyed much of the mall in an attempt to take it over.
Obviously such thugs should pay fully for the damage done by their attack
and should not be allowed to keep control of any of the mall.
The 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine was at least the
sixth unprovoked genocidal invasion of a nearby country
Imperialist Russia has carried out over the past three decades,
each time intended to steal territory from another country.
The previous 5 times the rest of the world just looked the other way
and let Russia get away with it because the world wanted peace
but each time the world let Russia get away with it
the terrorist Imperialist Russian dictatorship just felt emboldened
to carry out another invasion.
The only way to ensure that Russia learns its lesson and finally
understands that the age of empire is over
is for Russia to suffer a complete defeat in this war
and to retain none of Ukraine.
And of course the rest of the world (especially China)
must also learn this lesson.
And obviously Russia cannot retain any of Crimea,
not just because Crimea is part of Ukraine
and Russia cannot be rewarded for its invasion
but also because if Russia is allowed to keep Crimea
then Ukrainian ports and grain exports will
never be safe and Russia will be able to
carry out food terrorism any time it wants.
Obviously if Russia was a civilized, peaceful nation then that
would not be a concern but unfortunately Russia is run
by savage, barbarian Imperialists.
Presumably as well Ukraine will demolish the bridge from Russia to Crimea.
The above description of how the war must end may be achieved
through Ukrainian victory on the battlefield or by
Russia going broke (as seems likely to happen by next spring)
or if necessary by NATO forces (especially air forces)
assisting Ukrainian forces in destroying terrorist Russian invasion forces in Ukraine.

@delboyg01
It's really not hard to understand.
When the Ruble falls significantly against every major currency
every imported product goes up in price significantly in rubles -
TVs, cellphones, etc., etc.
Go to a large department store and look at the items -
clothing, water bottles, radios, plastic storage containers, etc., etc.
How many are made in Russia?
Probably none to barely more than none.
Virtually every non food item in a Russian store has to be imported
which means that they are going up dramatically in price for Russians
no matter what propaganda the Russian government puts out.
And Russia may grow a lot of food but given the climate
there's a lot of food products that Russia has to import.
In 2021 Russia imported 34 billion dollars in food products.
At the rate things are going the Ruble could lose half its value
which means that the cost of that imported food to
Russian citizens could effectively double.
It's as if in a sense Russian citizens suddenly had to
come up with 34 billion dollars to pay extra food costs
and that doesn't count all the other imported non-food products
that Russians buy and Russians are already impoverished.
And that doesn't take into account all the products that
the Russian government and Russian companies import.
An effective doubling of those costs will ultimately have to
be paid by Russian citizens.
Russian imports in 2022 were about 350 billion dollars
or about 20,588 billion rubles.
If the Ruble drops in value in half from where it was in 2022
then those same imports will cost about twice as much
in rubles - that is about 41,000 billion rubles.
Ultimately one way or another Russian citizens
will have to pay that huge increase in the cost of
imports to Russia.
Russia can't survive just making grain products and fossil fuels and minerals
and not importing anything.
Russia imports a lot.

@gustgoris8009
What Israel?
There was no Israel.
It was all Palestine.
Israel is just the name for the white, racist, colonialist, apartheid system set up in Palestine just as European invaders set up many white, racist, colonialist, apartheid regimes around the world during the era of European imperialism.
Except that the racist, white, Israeli, colonialist apartheid regime wasn't even created until the era of European imperialism was coming to a close and as well except that all the other white, racist, colonialist, fully fledged apartheid systems around the world disappeared one by one until the only ones left were in South Africa and in Israel and then the one in South Africa ended which leaves the Israeli white, colonialist,
fully fledged apartheid system
the only one left in the world.

You seem to forget that the Palestinians are a Semitic people with ancestral roots to the ancient Jewish people who lived in Palestine 2,000 years ago and that the ancestors of current white, Jewish Zionists were overwhelmingly white European people who converted to Judaism and that the few ancestors they hsve who were living in Palestine left that regions well over a thousand years ago.
For a bunch of light skinned Eastern European white people to show up in a non-white region of the world and claim that it is their homeland and that they have the right to steal the land from people who stayed there over the centuries because those white people have a few ancestors who lived in Palestine and then left well over a thousand years ago is completely ludicrous and nonsensical.
Still have yet to hear a Zionist make an argument that is logical or makes any sense.
Probably because there is no logical argument to justify the Zionist invasion into Palestine and the attacks on Palestinians and the theft and occupation of Palestinian land and the brutal oppression of Palestinians by Zionist invaders for the past 75 years.
2,000 years ago a lot of cities in India were Buddhist and there have always been some Buddhists who lived in India but that does not mean that it would be right for American Buddhists to invsde India and steal and occupy the land and create a Buddhist state and force all the non-Buddhist people in India to live in overcrowded impoverished prison camps.
2,000 years ago the ancestors of Hungarians lived somewhere in Russia but that does not mean that Hungarians should invade, steal, and occupy that region of Russia.
2,000 years ago almost all the ancestors of people currently living in Britain were living somewhere else.
If every group of people had the same fanatical ideology as Zionists then the entire world would be in a constant state of war as everyone tried to invade and steal and occupy any land where there ancestors or people of their religion or culture lived 2,000 years ago.
And there is nothing special about 2,000 years ago.
If people thought like fanatical Zionists they would be invading territory where their ancestors or people of their religion lived 10,0000 years ago or 20,000 years ago.
At one time Palestine was controlled by Egypt - at another time by Persia.
Why not say that Egypt or Iran should regain control of Palestine?

@stirlinggerbic-forsyth3345
At that rate Russia might capture the ruins of 60 houses per year, 600 per decade,
6,000 per century, 60,000 per 1,000 years, 600,000 per 10,000 years
and 6 million per 100,000 years which wouid still be less than half
of the number of houses in Ukraine.
But it is possible that if Putin just keeps going Russian forces
might be able to capture all houses in Ukraine in 200,000 years
(except for the fact that within 2 years virtually his entire army will be destroyed)

Basically the MAGA cult has a lot of white, straight, conservative, "Christian" people
who know that people like them have ruled the United States for 250 years
and know that now they are a minority and a shrinking minority at that
and know that that means they will lose their privilege of controlling everything
and that they will have to share power with others the way things are going
and so they have decided that they will resort to any means necessary
to retain their privilege and power and deny any power or public voice to others.
They are desperate to retain that power and control and to avoid sharing them.
Ethics, morality, fairness, democracy and truth have no relevance to them
in what they see as an existential battle to retain their privilege and power
and not share it with others and to not allow others equal rights.
Their goal is to retain their power and they will accept any lie or horrific act from their
demagogue leaders or from right wing media if it aligns with their
goal to retain all power and control over public discourse.
(eg, don't say gay or ban "critical race theory" or insist Trump won in 2020)
And of course they hate anyone who is different from them in any way
as they see people who are different as "thieves" who are "oppressing them"
by taking some of their power and so they will cherry pick any story or information
that suggests that those who are different than them are horrible, sick, violent people
and will defend horrific acts and words by people like them.
They are very weak, paranoid, insecure people who are terrified of
anyone who is different than them, especially if those who are different
have a voice or power.
Though they will put up with people who are different than them if those people
silence their own perspective and spout the perspective of
white, straight, conservative, "Christian", MAGA men.
In fact it gives them a feeling of more power if they can for instance
convince a woman to speak against the right to abortion
or a Black person to say that Black people need to stop "complaining"
about past injustices and take some initiative and make something of themselves.
They also have a fake Christianity which is really an extremist right wing
political ideology which focuses on greed and selfishness of the (white) individual,
a complete indifference to doing anything to help those less fortunate,
a fanaticism over guns,
racism, xenophobia, homophobia, misogyny,
a hatred against government doing anything to make things better,
a resentment against doctors and scientists who have great training and experience
and so know and understand a lot more than do MAGA people
and they have a hatred for any suggestion that everyone in society should try to
follow simple courtesy and caring for others in society and for the environment and should
be willing to follow certain rules to ensure that society runs smoothly
and that everyone is safe and the natural environment is safe and protected.
So they really don't care about the truth regarding the danger guns pose to society,
human caused climate change, pollution, invasive species, environmental destruction,
vaccines, pandemic masks, the existence and origin of covid, etc.
They just know that they want the freedom as white people to do whatever they want
and say whatever they want with no restrictions and have decided that they
will thus will ignore any evidence that might endanger that freedom
and will grasp onto any theory that aligns with their ideology
no matter that it has no credibility.

@gamps2771
You seriously think that after WW2 all ethnic Germans ended up in one country?
Aside from the fact that Germany was split between East Germany and West Germany and that Austria is filled with ethnic German people after WW2 and until today many countries had and have significant ethnic German populations.
European countries such as France, Switzerland, Russia, Italy,
the Netherlands, the UK,
Hungary, Poland, Spain and Sweden have significant German populations.
The United States alone has
47 million people of German background,
Brazil 12 million,
Argentina 3.5 million,
Canada 3.3 million,
South Africa 1.2 million,
Australia over a million
Chili 500,000,
Etc.
Where did you get the impression that after WW2 all people of German background ended up living in the same country?
Clearly you got the wrong impression.

So if Hamas was located in a white, Jewish, colonialist city in land claimed by Israel would you say that it would be appropriate for the IDF to put walls around the city and not let anyone out and cut off water, food, electricity, fuel and medical supplies to the entire city and bomb the entire city and slaughter over 30,000 people in the city and cause serious injuries to over 70,000 people in the city because it was believed that Hamas didn't care about the people in the city?
Because if you say that it is ok for the IDF to slaughter 30,000 Palestinians if Hamas doesn't care about those people then to be consistent you must say that it is ok for the IDF to slaughter 30,000 white, Jewish, Zionist, colonists if Hamas doesn't care about those deaths.
Otherwise you're just proving yourself a repugnant racist who thinks that some lives matter and some don't and that thus you are completely indifferent to a terrorist slaughter of
30,000 people so long as they are not white.

Toronto has lots of people from everywhere in the world
including lots of immigrants from China, South Korea, Vietnam, Ukraine,
Greece, Portugal, Italy, the Philippines, Hong Kong,
Jamaica, Trinidad, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Syria
Nigeria and Kenya and lots of their descendants
and lots of people of Japanese descent.
You're saying that El Salvador has lots of immigrants from all those places?
I don't believe it.

@RobertLRuisi
Or we could say that despite Trump spending the past nine years showing exactly how horrific he is you never paid attention or are very slow to understand things or just plain like the fact that Trump is a fascist, racist, misogynist, xenophobic, insurrection, criminal, toddler, grifter, clown, senile bully and you love snd worship that sort of demagogue.
I have no love for Harris or her record as a prosecutor but that's because unlike gullible, servile sheep in the MAGA cult who worship Trump I have standards.

I think the whole point of the MAGA movement is for wealthy people to take money and votes from dim witted, gullible, MAGA cult members.
I sometimes wonder if at some point Trump thought to himself, "I want to be President and make a good return from it. Who are the most stupid, gullible Americans who will believe my lies and join a cult I start. Hmmmm, I think the poorly educated, white, Christian extremist, xenophobic, racist, misogynistic religious fanatics will fit the bill nicely".

Apparently the immense, unequivocal American government support for Israel
regardless of Israeli actions is partially due to pressure from American
white Christian Evangelical voters, not just due to Israeli lobbying.
Seems that a lot of American white Christian Evangelical voters
have the strange belief that Jewish people need to occupy Palestine
for Armageddon and then the return of Chist to occur
or some other such silliness.
White Christian Evangelical Americans are far, far more likely than are Jewish Americans
to agree with the statement, "God gave the land of Israel to the Jewish people".
The power that white Christian Evangelicals have in the United States
and the extremism of their beliefs seem very strange and outdated to
Europeans and to Canadians, Australians and New Zealanders
and I presume to Japanese people as well.
Perhaps it would be good to have a TDLR video on how
white Christian Evangelical voters influence American politics
on subjects such as Israel, guns, metric, climate change, vaccines,
, universal health care, abortion, LGBTQ rights and school teachings on evolution
and how strange and inexplicable that seems in
other wealthy, more developed countries in which
white Christian Evangelicals don't have significant political power.

I'm not sure that the United States and Canada were officially at war in Korea but let's say they were and see how far we can expand this current war.
The United States, Britain, Australia, Netherlands, Canada, France, New Zealand,
the Philippines, Turkey, Thailand, South Africa, Greece, Belgium, Luxembourg, Ethiopia and Columbia all sent troops to fight in the Korean War so let's say that technically speaking they are all still at war with North Korea and let's say that means that they are now at war with Russia.
South Korea as well is now at war with both North Korea and Russia.
China sent troops to help North Korea in the Korean War so let's say that China is now in this war alongside Russia and North Korea.
Throw Belarus in with this group.
For that matter throw Iran and Syria in with this group.

@sonofsomerset1695 yes the Bush administration contrived a false reason to invade Iraq (weapons of mass destruction) when likely the Bush administration invaded for some other reason such as to control more oil supplies or to make money for the American military industrial complex.
But there are two vast differences between the two wars.
One, that the Americans utterly destroyed and defeated the Iraqi army so quickly that there was no time for Russia to supply the Iraq military with weapons and even if they had the Iraqi army and air force still would have been destroyed by the U.S. military within days.
Also, Russia is a lowly populated, impoverished country compared to the United States so Russia simply can't afford to ship out weapons to other countries on the scale the Americans can afford to do.
Two, that the Iraqi government of Saddam Hussein was an undemocratic, utterly brutal, genocidal, vicious regime that did unspeakable things to its citizens and which launched unprovoked wars on Iran and Kuwait and threatened Saudi Arabia, not becsuse of concerns about human rights violations in those countries but rather out of total greed.
Obviously, the current Ukrainian government is none of those things. It may struggle with ending corruption and may have inappropriately taken the far right Azov battalion into its military but if you think that the Ukrainian government is comparable to the horrific Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein then you have no connection to reality.
For western countries to send weapons to peaceful, democratic Ukraine to help defend itself against a totally unprovoked genocidal attack by a brutal, anti-democratic monster and demagogue like Putin wasn't a matter of having the right to do so as having a moral obligation to help the peaceful and innocent defend themselves against a larger, more powerful, brutal country that attacked them in a genocidal invasion.

If western governments condemned the white, racist, colonialist, apartheid regime in Israel
as they did the white, racist, colonialist, apartheid regime in South Africa in the 1980s
instead of saying that they will unequivocally support Israel at the exact time
that Israel says it is going to stop all supplies of water, food, fuel and electricity
for close to a million imprisoned innocent Palestinian children then maybe
the Israeli government like the previous white South African government
would eventually realize that those non-white children are not "animals"
as apparently it thinks and end their brutal, racist, apartheid system
and take down the walls and fences and barbed wire and let Palestinians
be free to travel, live and work anywhere in their own land of Palestine.
I would think it barbaric to cut off all food, water and medical supplies and treatment
from even one imprisoned, convicted, adult mass murderer.
The Israeli government has said it is cutting off all food and water from
close to a million Palestinian children and has guaranteed that a lot of those children
who are being bombed will not get the medical care they need
by cutting off electricity to hospitals and showing indifference to letting
medical supplies get into Gaza.
What sort of monster does someone have to be to do that to a million innocent children?
Hamas has committed some horrific acts of violence and I think little of its
apparent religious extremism but even if every Hamas fighter disappeared tomorrow it would do nothing to secure long term peace and security for Israel
because Hamas is simply a symptom of the real problem - white, colonialist, apartheid, oppression.
As long as the Palestinian people are oppressed and forced to live with no hope in
impoverished, overcrowded prison camps in their own land
new militants will inevitably emerge.

@commonsenseintellectual5769 NATO has not really been "pushing East".
That makes it sound almost as if NATO forces were invading Eastern Europe.
Rather, one by one Eastern European countries asked to join NATO for their own protection against potential attack by Russia.
The fact that so many countries that know Russia so well each felt that there was a significant chance that Russia would invade them and the horrific, unprovoked, genocidal invasion of Ukraine by Russia shows that they were right to fear invasion by Russia.
It should be pointed out also that Switzerland and Austria don't fear having NATO on their borders or even surrounding them and unlike Russia they are small countries with no nuclear weapons to threaten invaders with.
Sweden and Finland were independent countries for many decades and they weren't terrified to have NATO on their borders.
As for Putin's paranoia about a European country attacking Russia because it has happened long ago -
that possibility exists only inside of Putin's disturbed mind as a reflection of his personal insecurities and lack of self confidence.
No European country country has any interest in invading Russia and you know that.
You don't seriously think that Macron has illusions that he is Napoleon and plans to lead a grand French army in marching across Europe intent on capturing Moscow and conquering all of massive Russia do you? Of course not.
And even if a European country did have such a ludicrous idea they certainly aren't going to do so when Russia has thousands of nuclear weapons and you know that too.
Basically after WW2 Western European countries decided they were tired of fighting each other have many centuries of countless wars and would rather live in peace with each other
and when the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact broke up Eastern European countries made the same decision with the exception of Russia (and possibly Hungary which seems to be eyeing land in Romania and its other neighbours).
So the only European country that wants to maintain the belligerency and constant threat of European conflict that existed for centuries until WW2 is Russia.
If Putin and Russia get rid of their belligerent, paranoid attitude then problem solved- Russia can have peaceful relations with the rest of Europe any time it chooses just as every other European country chose to do.
Gee, Germany invaded little Belgium twice in the last century and the leaders of Belgium aren't paranoid about Germany possibly attacking Belgium because Germany has no interest in attacking any other country.
Little Netherlands is surrounded by much bigger more powerful countries with which it had many conflicts over the centuries-
France, Germany, Spain and Britain.
But Dutch leaders and Dutch people don't live in a paranoid state terrified that their old enemies will attack.
And yet Russia, the largest country by far in Europe and with the largest population and with the largest number of nuclear weapons of any country in the world is terrified that another European country is going to attack them and so lashes out at everybody and refuses to live in peace with its neighbours.
Just ridiculous and pathetic but also tragic because it has led to a horrific genocidal invasion of Ukraine and to so much money in Russia and in Europe being wasted on weapons instead of being spent on more useful things like green energy.
All the fault of Russia and Putin.
At one point in the 1990s I might have had sympathy for Russia's desire to negotiate to get Crimea back but given Putin's actions since he took power any such thought has disappeared from me.
Finally, I don't know about any such promise by Ukraine to stay
"friendly" to Russia.
It seems that none of the ex Soviet countries that asked to join NATO ever heard of such a promise so I am wondering If you are imagining it.
And I see no sign that the Ukrainian government or people ever said they were going to be unfriendly to Russia.
That was Russia's choice when it invaded Ukraine in 2014.
Sure Ukraine may have decided it wanted to have other friends and to trade with countries in Europe but that's not being unfriendly.
Russia is like a possessive, abusive husband who gets upset when his spouse gets fed up and leaves and then decides to make some new friends.
Countries trade with many other countries around the world.
That's just how the world economy works today.

@davesenatus5566
You're completely delusional if you don't realize that
hundreds of thousands if not millions of
Australians have experienced sexual abuse
at the hands of heterosexual priests, ministers,
parents, relatives, teachers, professors, coaches,
family friends, bosses, neighbours, classmates,
friends, fellow employees, etc.

@pwp8737 an interesting idea that has merit.
One problem is that the most powerful country by far among democracies is the
United States which has a dysfunctional election system so incredibly biased
towards white, rural, anti-government, anti-science, Christian nationalist Republican states and people that it is not clear that it is or ever truly was a real democracy.
As well there is a huge concern that the country could soon be run by the
extremist, anti-democracy Trump cult and its American Taliban allies or
could descend into civil war.
It would be nice if the United States was actually a full democracy and a developed country.
Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and other democracies collectively have
a lot of economic and miltary power but it would be much better if the United States was
a stable democracy, a developed country and a reliable ally.

Russia has for a year been carrying out a genocidal invasion of Ukraine
involving hundreds of thousands of Russian troops,
massive Russian conscription of civilians and prisoners,
virtually all its planes, tanks and other military equipment,
armed teams intent on assassinating the Ukrainian president,
massive shelling of Ukrainian troops and cities,
countless terrorist attacks and war crimes against Ukrainian civilians,
sending planes, missiles, drones and shells to try to
destroy the Ukrainian electrical and water systems
all done with the intent to destroy Ukraine as a country, murder its leaders
and occupy it with brutal oppression forever
and then Russia tells Ukraine that if it gets any help from anyone to better defend itself
that Russia will "escalate things".
What the heck is left for Russia to do to "escalate things"?
Ban Ukrainian dancers from Russian dance festivals?
Time for Western countries to stop listening to or paying attention to Putin's rants
and give Ukraine everything it needs to drive the Russian terrorist invaders
right out of Ukraine and that should include long range missiles
to destroy all Russian drone and missile sites being used to attack Ukraine
whether those sites are in Russia, in Crimea or in Donbas.
And if Russia responds by attacking NATO or attacking infrastructure in NATO countries
or in Sweden or Finland then NATO should oblige Russia's desire to fight
NATO by sending its airforces to Ukraine to destroy Russian terrorist invader forces.
Given the power of NATO airforces and the power of the Ukrainian military on the ground
it wouldn't take long to end the Russian invasion using NATO air power.

In Developed countries people have the right to true democracy,
the right to health care, the right to paid maternity leave,
the right to a decent minimum wage,
the right to go to university without being broke for decades paying student loans off,
the right to abortion,
the right to walk down the street without getting shot by a criminal
and the right to not be killed by police.
In the United States a lot of people say the heck with the above rights
which they apparently consider to be communist
and instead instead say the most important rights are
the right to incredibly cheap gasoline,
the right to work for a very low wage with no benefits and no union,
the right for anyone to carry any type of gun anywhere
and the right to be a white "Christian" conservative extremist
which apparently means hating a lot of people for no particular reason,
restricting women's rights, ignoring science and reality,
the right to get filthy rich while sharing little with the poor
and the right to be incredibly selfish and do whatever one wants
with no thought for the consequences for others (so long as one is white).
Admittedly the above beliefs are really just of the
MAGA Republican minority cult which has vastly more power than it deserves
due a bizarre Rube Goldberg election system tilted heavily in their favour.
Think I can see the problem.

The longer this war goes on the longer the Ukrainian people
have to suffer horrific things such as lack of power,
constant fear of terrorist Russian attacks,
family separations, disruption of every aspect of daily life and
horrific mental health trauma ( especially for children,
the elderly and those who have serious health needs)
and the more Ukrainans will die or be wounded
and the longer the most vulnerable people around the world
will suffer from food shortages and higher than necessary
food and fuel prices.
Thus the sooner western countries give enough
military supplies to Ukraine to enable it to win the war
and drive Russian forces right out of Ukraine the better.
Western countries need to stop worrying about
whether what they do annoys or provokes Putin
because he's a very weak, insecure, paranoid man
who is going to be annoyed and provoked by the
very existence of independent Ukraine, Latvia, Poland, etc
anyway.
There's no point trying to make Putin happy because he's
never going to be happy and he's going to keep invading
neighbouring countries as he has done since taking office
until he suffers a decisive, devastating defeat
and the best time and place for that is now in Ukraine.
Really at least by April once it was clear Ukraine was going to
drive Russian forces right out of northern Ukraine
NATO countries should have taken the attitude
"The heck with what Putin wants"
and given Ukraine all the tanks, planes, artillery,
missiles, drones and other supplies it needed
to destroy Russian terrorist forces in Ukraine as
soon as possible.
In particular one military expert said that the most effective time
to stop Russian missiles and crimes used in terrorist attacks
is before they leave the ground so hopefully western leaders
will listen to that advice and give Ukraine the weapons
to destroy drone and missile launching sites in Crimea
and in Russia instead of expecting Ukrainians to put up
with constant terrorist attacks without firing back
at the launch sites responsible for those terrorist attacks.
And for heaven's sake at least give Ukraine a few long range
Himar missiles to take out completely the
Crimean bridge the Russians illegally built on
Ukrainan territory so that Russian military supplies
no longer can cross that bridge.

@Vahki100
You're absolutely tight.
Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Ukraine, Slovenia, Montenegro, Slovakia, India, Kenya, Nigeria, Vietnam, Indonesia, Jamaica, Cuba, Mexico, Brazil, etc., etc will never be independent.
I don't understand why their citizens wasted so long fighting for independence.

@mrgabagoo580 I can understand why people living in Kaliningrad who are loyal to Russia and even how patriotic Russian people living in Moscow might be unhappy to hear a western commentator talking about the possibility of Kalingrad becoming independent of Russia but there is a vast difference between a academic in the West talking about the possible independence of Kalingrad and a commentator (especially a government commentator) talking about the possible independence of a region in a western country.
The difference is that the western academic is living in a country with freedom of speech and giving their own personal opinion wheras the Russian commentator is living in what has effectively become a brutal dictatorship run by a repressive demagogue and which no longer has freedom of speech so that even if the Russian commentator is not a state actor they are restricted to saying only things in line with Russian government propaganda.
There is also the difference that in western countries people seeking independence for their region generally have the freedom to publicly express their desire for independence so they don't need that message to be spread by Russian people stating positions that line up with the position of the Russian government.
Nobody in Quebec is going to go to prison now for saying that they want Quebec to be independent of Canada (though the temporary round up of some separatist intellectuals by police in 1970 when a terrorist separatist group was setting off bombs and kidnapping politicians was disturbing).
So Quebecers who want independence as an example are quite capable of freely and openly developing a campaign for independence. They don't need Russian help.
On the other in Kalingrad where people do not have freedom of speech and where people can go to prison for an extended time simply for peacefully protesting or even for saying that the war in Ukraine is a war any local people who might favour independence are obviously not free to say that aloud without fear of prosecution and would need the support of commentators in free western countries to put out their messages supporting independence.
I have no idea what percentage of people in Kaliningrad support independence but I do know that in Russia territory where nobody can safely tell a survey taker that they don't support Putin that it would be virtually impossible to get honest answers from people regarding whether they want to be independent of Russia.
I do suspect that most people in Kaliningrad want to stay part of Russia but if the people there find themselves suffering badly for the next ten years not just because of the usual problems in Russia caused by western sanctions but also due to constant supply shortages of goods from the rest of Russia maybe eventually the people in Kaliningrad will get fed up and say enough with this - let's leave the brutal backward looking, inward looking autocracy of Russia
and become a more free, well off, democratic independent country in the EU with ties to the west just like countries around us.
Why anyone in Kalingrad would want to stay in xenophobic, backward, isolated, pariah state, undemocratic, brutally repressive Russia instead of becoming a more prosperous, open, democratic country in the EU is beyond me.
Pretty sure that it's mainly older Russians who are cool with Putin's attempts to return Russia to the bleak, repressive, isolated days of the 1970s and that younger Russians used to scrolling the internet are much more likely to want Russia to become a modern, democratic, progressive state that is very much connected to the rest of the world not just through selling fossil fuels but also connected through culture and travel.
Because not just in Russia but around the world young people who spend their time online connected to the rest of the world want to throw away the xenophobic, ultra nationalistic,
conservative, backward looking culture of their parents and to be full citizens of the world and akthough populist leaders in some countries are relying on the support of older people to try to turn back the clock in the end these older people will be replaced by newer more progressive, more open, less xenophobic generations in a demographic wave that is unstoppable.

@ロクアンドロールしかないでも好きだ you're forgetting a number of things.
First, the United States has signed treaties with a lot of countries in recent years
and the unprovoked genocidal Russian invasion of Ukraine has brought
democracies together more than they have been in many decades.
Second, demographics.
According to data from a Chinese statistical agency by 2016 the fertility rate in China
had fallen to 1.05, half the level needed to reproduce the population.
As well because so many female babies were aborted in China there are far fewer
young Chinese women than young Chinese men (about 20% fewer).
This means that in 2046 (one generation after 2016)
the number of young Chinese people of child bearing age
will be significantly less than half of the number today
and that by 2076 (two generations after 2016)
number of young Chinese people of child bearing age
will be less than one quarter of the number today.
And despite Chinese government illusions that the low
fertility rate will change if they just tell young women to
start making more babies that has not worked for
any government that has tried that tactic
and certainly won't work in China where women
may be dealing with helping out two elderly parents
and four elderly grandparents due to the one child policy..
or even possibly if they get married with
four elderly parents and 8 elderly grandparents.
Plus those women are living in a very misogynistic society
plus unlike western countries that have low fertility rates
China is still comparatively a very poor country
with very little in the way of pension security to help
out old people and take the burden off of children.
Some forecast that China will lose half its population by 2100
but the numbers suggest that it will lose significantly more than that.
Plus China will have a very elderly population very different than
the young population it has had over the past few decades
that enabled it to grow fast.
Just in the past 3 years China's working age population fell be 38 million
while the number of elderly Chinese increased dramatically.
The United States on the other hand is expected to gain at least
a hundred million people over the next 100 years
and it would not be entirely surprising if by the 2123
China and the United States both have about the same population
of 500 million or so people or even that by then
the United States will have more people than China has.
The difference is that the xenophobic Chinese government doesn't want
immigrants that would reduce China's "racial purity"
while hundreds of thousands of people leave China every year
when at the same time vast numbers of immigrants move to
the United States every year.
So China's advantage of having a huge, young population is
going to evaporate over the next century.
3. One reason for China's fast industrial growth was its very low wage rates
but in the past few decades its wage rates have increased dramatically.
While still well below American wage rates this combined with the
United States developing cheap fossil fuels from fracking
means that the cost of manufacturing in China and in the United States
is about the same and especially after covid disruptions
there is little reason to risk building a factory in China instead of
in the United States, Mexico or China
and of course Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia and India
have lower wage rates than China.
We've all seen this movie before in the 1970s and 1980s when
everyone was sure that Japan would replace the United States
as the greatest economic power in the world
due to its lower wages and superior technology and
better organized factories and more work oriented culture
and then as Japanese wage rates rose and
Japan hit the same demographic collapse that
China is facing now Japan's rise to dominance ended
and by now the idea that Japan's economy could
surpass that of the United States is not a serious thought.
China is admittedly a much more populated country than is Japan
but it is also much poorer and more backward than Japan
in much of the country plus unlike Japan in the years since 1990
China is hated by people around the world and seen as a danger
and not just in the west.
People in India, Vietnam, Japan and other countries near China see China as a threat,
the people in Sri Lanka have no love for a China that they now must repay vast amounts of loans to,
despite the questionable behavior of some Muslim governments
Muslim people around the world hate China for the genocide against Chinese Muslims
and people in Africa don't entirely appreciate the blatant racism of
Chinese people doing business or creating projects in Africa.
Nobody really likes China - any relationships with China are purely economic in nature
and that may sound fine but as China's population becomes a much smaller,
older one China may find that behaving in ways to cause people
around the world to hate China was a very bad idea.

@no-oneinparticular7264 h, so you have decided that it is impossible for a young, fit,
single man to be a refugee.
Very interesting way you have to define refugees.
Of course it is well known that in 1930s Germany or Soviet Union
or in late 1970s Cambodia the brutal dictators in charge
had a policy that young, fit, single men should never, ever be harassed,
beaten, falsely detained or imprisoned or executed - right?
Which of course is why if you were in charge of immigration for your country in the 30s
you would have refused to let in any young, fit, single men from Germany or the Soviet Union
applying as refugees, right?
And the same is true of brutal dictators or local drug lords or
militia group leaders today right?
They all have polices to never bother young, fit, single men, right?

@snookwestwest2298
That far too many Americans are indifferent to fascism, dictatorship, violent insurrection, attempts to steal an election, racism, white supremacy, bullying,
sexual assault, grifting, ignoring law and order, being disconnected to reality, attacks on workers & on the poor and on the environment
and having the American Taliban control the country.
If not for that disturbing fact Trump wouldn't get more than one vote as he doesn't deserve to have anyone other than himself vote for him.

@lawoflift1
Actually it was toddler clown Trump who spent four years crying and having a toddler temper tantrum because he lost an election.
And it is privileged Trump who was born into wealth and who has never faced proper
legal accountability for his actions who is constantly complaining about how "unfair"
the world is to him.
And it's MAGA cult sheep who are constantly crying and complaining about the existence of anyone who is different than them - Black people, Asian people, Latino people,
Muslim people, LGBTQ people, immigrants, refugees, health scientists,
climate scientists, atheists, so called "communists", etc., etc.
Trump and his MAGA cult sheep have absolutely no justification for their constant
crying, ranting, tantrums and complaining.
On the other hand it is completely appropriate to criticize Trump when he suggests that he might launch an unprovoked, violent, imperialist invasion against an American ally
to steal its territory.

@ethioastronomy1
It's somewhat hsrd to care much about people who support theft of land, racism, apartheid, forcing people to become stateless refugees or to move into overcrowded impoverished prison camps, blockading and severely limiting water, food, electricity, fuel and medical supplies to 2.2 million people including a million children,
destroying homes and hospitals,
terrorizing a million with daily bombings and missile attacks,
carrying out war crimes and carrying out genocide.
Why would you say prayers for people who support such horrific things when there are so many other people who are suffering and more deserving of your prayers?

There are many other people who are suffering and are far more deserving of your prayers.

Sad thing is that the need for European countries to spend vast amounts of money
on the miltary is virtually only due to a paranoid, belligerent, aggressive,
threatening Russia.
No aggressive, threatening Russia would mean no need to waste money on
huge, well equipped militaries.
I think that in developed countries people and givernments realise that spending money on the miltary is an incredibly expensive, unproductive and wasteful way to spend money
and that's why so many countries spend less on the military than the
United States would like them to spend.
Have just been reading about political fights in the United States after WW2
and at that time President Truman had a devil of a time convincing
American politicians to accept high military spending in peacetime
or to support the creation of NATO but of course American political support
for constant high levels of military spending did become the norm.
In other wealthy democracies this generally never happened.
Other than helping out in natural disasters the military is just a big drain that sucks money
out of society while producing nothing and of course even in helping in a natural disaster
the military doesn't need expensive guns, bombs, jet fighters, destroyers
or other weapons of war.
For many centuries European governments spent a lot of their budgets on the miltary
because they were regularly attacking each other to try to steal territory
but in recent decades it's clear that they thought it was better to live in peace with their European neighbours and that a much better use of government money
was to build roads, hospitals, schools and to provide financial support for the poor
rather than to spend exorbitant amounts of money on very expensive military tools
such as jet fighters.
Unfortunately though the Russian dictatorship does not take the same view.
Because Putin is a very weak, insecure, paranoid man
who thus has the delusion that every other country threatens Russia
and who wants to make up for his personal insecurities by expanding
the Russian empire every country in Europe faces the threat of
potential attack by Russia and so has little choice but to
waste a lot of financial resources on military spending.
The closer geographically countries are to Russia the more they appreciate the
threat posed by Russia and understandably the more money they decide they
have to waste on military spending to be prepared for potential attack by Russia.
Basically it's only Russia (in particular weak, insecure, paranoid Putin and his delusions)
that create the need for European countries to waste money on miltary spending
when that money could have done so many more productive things.
If there was no Russia or if Russia replaced Putin with a stronger, non-delusional leader
who wasn't constantly terrified of his own shadow and every other country
and thus was willing to live peacefully with other European countries instead of threatening them then the need for large militaries for European countries would disappear.
Russia and its weak, insecure, paranoid leaders are THE problem for Europe.
Nobody else is going to attack European countries
(with the possible exceptions of Russia's friend Serbia and demagogue run Hungary
which seem to have desire to steal territory from their immediate neighbours).
If Russia behaved as peacefully as did other European countries imagine
how many wonderful things could be done with all that money currently
used for strong militaries.

Even if Communist China was stupid and violent and greedy enough to attack Taiwan and even if Communist China managed to conquer Taiwan the result woukd be economic catastrophe for China.
Demand for China's exports wouldn't likely fall to zero but it could easily fall by 70%.
When Russia invaded Ukraine European inports of Russian fossil fuels fell by 90% or so in a year.
Fossil fuels can be produced only in certain countries.
The vast majority of Chinese exports on the other hand can be produced anywhere in the world.
G7 countries have about half the GDP in the world but other countries such as Australia and South Korea and those in the EU would likely drastically cut jmports from China.
And countries such as Russia, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam have territory that Imperialist China has indicated it wants so they won't be happy to see Imperialist China invading another country to steal territory.
China's economy is already dealing with a number of major problems and demographic collapse has started in China.
To launch an unprovoked invasion into Taiwan would be making China's serious economic problems much, much worse.
And I can imagine it causing the United States, Australia, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia and other countries to form a military alliance against Chinese Imperialism similar to NATO.
Plus there is always the chance that the invasion fails and Communist China and Xi are humiliated and then Xi is overthrown and possibly imprisoned as I believe happened to his father 60 years ago.
Surely Xi can see that Putin is in a much more precarious position than he was before he decided to invade Ukraine plus Putin is now wanted for arrest for war crimes plus Russia is now a pariah state.

@onamattapeeya
Why would you object to someone calling the deranged, racist, insurrectionist, xenophobic, homophobic, anti-American,
anti-science,
constantly threatening, gullible, servile, misogynistic,
religiously fanatical sheep in the MAGA cult deplorables?
Obviously deplorables is a completely accurate though far too understated description of Trump's mob.
Did that reality hit you too close to home?

It's not politicians and tree huggers who are telling us that human activities are causing the climate to change - it's well educated, well trained, very experienced climate scientists who are telling us that human activities are causing climate change and will continue to cause climate change and they say that based on solid science and solid data, not ideology.
Science, the planet and reality don't care about ideology.
You far right extremists never seem to understand how science works.
You have the bizarre idea that one can just make up things based on ideology instead of using solid scientific theory and testing, observations and data to figure out what the truth is regarding evolution, vaccines, climate change and other matters related to science.
No, you can't figure out or change reality based on your far right ideology and no your opinion about climate change is not of any significance if you're not a well educated, trained, experienced and qualified climate scientist.
Instead of trying to twist reality to fit your ideology start listening to climate scientists who actually know what they are talking about.
The reason why people who aren't climate scientists say that climate change is caused by human activities is because they are sane and intelligent enough to listen to the climate scientists.

Putin to Xi:
We need you to give us tanks, planes, missiles, drones, shells,
military clothing, night vision goggles, helicopters, lots of other military equipment,
money, lots of spare parts and information from your satellite observations
plus we need you to double what you pay for our oil so that we get paid world prices
so that we're actually making a profit on our oil.
Xi to Putin: Well gee Vlad - can't help you with those things but I do have
this lovely Hallmark friendship card to give you.
Okay, you can stop bowing and groveling for now -
here are your orders for you to follow till further notice.

So the United States has to offer vast amounts of gun violence,
no real democracy,
no universal health care,
no paid maternity leave,
worse health and shorter life spans,
extremely high rates of incarceration,
a hatred for science and learning,
the delusion that metric is a communist plot to destroy America,
racial segregation,
religious fanatics including the American Taliban,
extreme wealth disparity,
rundown public schools,
extremely expensive university tuition,
extreme misogyny and xenophobia,
idiots who chant "USA, USA, USA!"
and the fascist white supremacist Maga cult.
And yet strangely people in Canada and Greenland aren't interested in that "wonderful" package.
Go figure.

Communist China regime acts aggressively and picks fights with India, Taiwan, Japan, countries around the "South China sea", the United States, Tibet, Hong Kong, Muslims in western China, anyone in China who dares to exercise free speech and with any person, company or country that points out the lies or horrific actions of the Communist China regime and then absurdly complains about others being "aggressive" against Communist China.
It's time that the weak, insecure, paranoid men who run Communist China do a self examination and figure out why they are so weak, insecure and paranoid because that defect in their personality has them afraid of everybody and imagining that everyone is out to get them and thus then needlessly lashing out at everybody.

@briexbye9597 no doubt soldiers of the United States and other NATO countries committed horrible acts in Libya, Syria and Afghanistan and covered them up and no doubt the reasons why they took military action in those countries are not necessarily the reasons they give at press conferences.
But there is still a vast difference between an oppressive autocrat like Putin launching a brutal, extremely destructive, murderous invasion of Russia's peaceful,
non-threatening neighbour just to try to make up for Putin"s personal feelings of insecurity and to try to play out his fantasy that he is the reincarnation of Peter the Great
and on the other hand American intervention in Afghanistan which was ruled by the Taliban,
a vicious, primitive, criminal, misogynistic gang of thugs that was sheltering a terrorist group that had launched a major terrorist attack on the United States and
when the American intervention actually allowed many people, especially women,
to actually live as human beings for 20 years.
I don't think that Ghaddafi was ever as bad as western propaganda suggested but he was a dictator involved in a civil war before the United States got involved.
And I think it was a mistake for NATO to get involved in Libya and it has created chaos in Libya but to compare the
American bombing of Libyan soldiers to the seeming attempt of Putin to destroy
every, house, building or other structure in Ukraine and try to slaughter as many Ukrainian people as possible? No, not the same.
As for Syria, there we had an utterly ruthless dictator who responded to peaceful protests with extreme brutality, mass arrests, torture, murder and destruction before the United States got involved.
If you really think that the government of Ukraine is similar in nature to the government of Syria and that the government of Syria was democratically elected and not brutally crushing any dissent before the Americans got involved then I think you are badly misinformed.
So yes, no doubt American and NATO soldiers did some horrific things in Libya, Syria and Afghanistan but for you to suggest that the peaceful, democratically elected government in Ukraine compares to the governments that existed in Libya, Syria and Afghanistan is utter nonsense.
And the nature of government in a country and how it was behaving does have some significance on the morality of talking military action against it.
There is a heck of a lot of difference between Germany deciding to invade Belgium in
WW2 and Canada deciding to send troops across the ocean to attack German troops during the war and if you can't see the difference then probably there is no point explaining it to you further.
Oh yes and Russia invaded Ukraine a much smaller country that never had any intentions of attacking or threatening Russia so pretty clearly it is Russia and only Russia which is responsible for its own actions in invading Ukraine.

I agree with what you said except for the implied suggestion that the American revolution was about freedom and democracy.
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and a significant number of other leaders of the revolution were brutal slave owners who certainly didn't want freedom or democracy for
Black people or other non-white people.
They didn't want non-white people to have the vote.
They didn't want women to have the vote.
They didn't want white men without property to have the vote.
Don't believe that they even wanted people born outside the country who moved to the
United States to have the vote.
The founders of the United States were afraid of "mob rule" (even by regular poor property owners) and so instead of doing the obvious and creating an election system
in which an unbiased, independent elections commission runs national elections with
standard rules across the country and in which the winner of the popular vote
automatically becomes president the fathers of the United States gave states
a lot of power over running elections and created a bizarre electoral college system
in which there are many opportunities to subvert or distort the will of the voters.
They didn't want a true democracy at all and they succeeded in that as the
United States has never become a true democracy and the constitution makes it
almost impossible to turn the United States into a true democracy.
The founders thought that with the complicated election system that they the elites would control and decide who became president - they didn't want regular people doing that
and might be shocked at the concept many Americans have today that regular Americans
should choose the president.
Washington was upset at taxes that Britain felt entitled to levy given that it just waged a long and successful but expensive war to defeat the French in North America thus
finally making British colonists in America safe from French attack,
a war started by a young, reckless, inexperienced,ignorant, overly aggressive
British officer named George Washington who in peacetime attacked a French
expedition, slaughtering many of its members.
Yes war was probably inevitable anyway but it was Washington who decided to
start violent hostilities against a French expedition that very possibly if not likely
had no intention of engaging in conflict..
Washington was upset not only at taxes that helped compensate Britain for the costs it
incurred fighting the war Washington himself started with the French
but he was also very upset about new British laws which protected the sovereignty of
Indigenous lands created by the British because they were tired of conflict with
Indigenous nations sparked by aggressive behavior by American colonists in
Indigenous territory.
Washington was upset because he had significant investments in enterprises which
planned major economic activities on Indigenous land.
Of course we all know that once Washington won his little revolution the new
United States Washington and his colleagues created had no such restrictions on
people interfering with Indigenous nations and in fact from the time of
American independence to at least 1900 the United States was constantly invading
Indigenous nations (and Mexico) with genocidal invasions of smaller, weaker nations
and slaughtering many people, committing economic terrorism,
destroying much, taking everything of value including land, wiping these nations from existence and trying to completely destroy the cultures of these nations
all the while running a constant propaganda campaign saying that such invasions
were for the good of the conquered Indigenous peoples -
in other words behaving just as Russia is behaving in Ukraine now.
So no Washington and his colleagues did not stage a revolution intending to create freedom and democracy.
They had very different goals and reasons for their actions.

Obviously the genocide in Gaza is on another scale.
You have one of the world's most powerful militaries committing genocide
by brutally attacking the people whose land was stolen and
who were forced into an overcrowded impoverished prison camp
and who have been brutally oppressed for decades
and who have no way to fight back -
people who have almost all been made homeless and who
have been deprived of water, food, electricity, fuel, medical supplies and shelter
and are terrorized every day by drones, jets and bombs that they
have no way to escape from.
Something like 138 children are dying every day in Gaza which has
a population of 2.3 million people.
In Ukraine about 2 children are dying each day in a country of 40 million.
Close to a million Palestinian children have been deprived of
water, food, electricity, fuel, medical supplies and decent shelter
and are being terrorized every day by drones, military jets and bombs.
Some Palestinian children have had to have limbs amputated
without anesthetic and after the many thousands of wounded
Palestinian children get limited medical treatment they have
no safe or comfortable or sanitary place to go.
So what is happening in Ukraine is horrific
but what is happening in Gaza is savagery on another far higher scale.
And it should be pointed out that a lot of people (especially western politicians)
who have expressed a lot of concern about the death of Ukrainians
have been completely indifferent to the deaths of Palestinians.
And that is part of the reason why some people in the global south
or from the global south have been reluctant to wholeheartedly
join western efforts to support Ukraine -
because they see western leaders as racist and hypocritical
and don't trust western leaders and the indifference of
western leaders to the slaughter in Gaza has proven that correct.
Western leaders care about white people being killed but
don't care about non-white people far away being killed
if caring would interfere with their political interests.
That's really quite horrible and unfortunate for both Palestinians and Ukrainians.
By showing indifference to the slaughter of Palestinians
western leaders have badly sabotaged international efforts to
support Ukraine and isolate Russia.

As a Canadian I find the situation with Speaker Johnson trying to delay or block
a vote on Ukraine funding bizarre.
In the Canadian Parliament the Speaker
(although an MP for the ruling Liberal party)
must be absolutely neutral at all times.
Recently he got into a huge controversy simply because he
wished a provincial Liberal politician a happy retirement
while dressed in the speaker's robes.
The idea of him interfering with the business of Parliament is unthinkable.
I also don't understand the strange combination of Ukraine aid
with border security, a completely different issue,
and aid to Israel, a regime which is behaving in Palestine
very much as is the Russian regime is behaving in Ukraine.
To be consistent, an aid package for Ukraine
should be combined with an aid package for the Palestinian people
who are like the Ukrainians suffering horrific occupation,
bombing, war crimes and genocidal actions and on a much worse level.
To be clear aid for the oppressed Palestinian people or aid groups that can help them,
not Hamas.
It is as if Biden and many other Democrats can't decide if they want to
oppose or support invasion, occupation, oppression, war crimes and genocide.
Right now by giving unequivocal support to Israel they
and the Canadian and British governments are making themselves
look like racist hypocrites who care only about the suffering of white people
such as Ukrainians and not ahout the suffering of non-white people
such as Palestinians and that is destroying any hope they have
of getting people and governments in the many countries in the Global South
to join western efforts to support Ukraine.
Thus, in unequivocally supporting Israel despite Israeli atrocities in Gaza and the West Bank
the United States, Canada and Britain are not only abandoning Palestinians
to unspeakable horrors but are also severely damaging their own
status in relationship to most other countries
and are also undermining efforts to get international support for help for Ukraine.

I'm afraid that until the Russian government
runs out of foreign reserves and goes broke
and faces economic catastrophe
and can no longer afford to continue to fighting the war
no Russian regime will agree to recognize Ukraine as an
independent country including Donbas, Kherson, Crimea and Sevastopol
and agree to hand over Russian war criminals
and agree to pay full reparations to Ukraine and to the poorest, most vulnerable
people in the world who have struggled to find and pay for food and energy
because of disruption caused by the Russian invasion.
And absolutely Russia must in the end do all of the above at the end of the war
and these will not be thngs that Russia chooses to do -
rather Russia will be ordered to do them.
The problem is that if a bankrupt Russia with a destroyed military
and a mass exodus of its brighest, most talented young people
and with massive demographic problems
feels it has no choice but to sue for peace and agree to pay massive reparations
then who the heck is going to be willing to lend that broken down, broke Russia
vast amounts of money so that Russia can pay those reparations?
Even China will say that that would be taking friendship too far,
especially as apparently Russia already owes a huge amount of money to China.
And for anyone who says Russia should be allowed to take decadss to
pay reparations to Ukraine and to poor people around the world,
I would say that that is not a reasonable idea.
A Ukrainian farmer who has had his house blown up,
his land badly damaged, his tractor stolen,
his wife killed and his child badly disabled by a Russian shell
and who has lost two years of income
cannot be told that he will have to wait 20 years
to get any financial help.
That Ukrainian farmer will deserve to be compensated by Russian reparations
as soon as the war is over and he shouldn't have to wait for compensation
or spend his savings or borrow money for expenses that
the Russian regime should be covering.

@timkbirchico8542 the United States has done many horrible things around the world and has a great deal of hypocrisy.
The sales of military supplies to Saudi Arabia by
the United States, Canada, France and Britain despite the
horrific Saudi bombing of Yemen is just one example.
But one can condemn NATO for supplying Saudi Arabia
and still agree that it is right for NATO to support
Ukraine when Ukraine is fighting for its survival after a totally unprovoked horrific, genocidal invasion by Russia.
Also, there is a big difference between NATO or American involvement against brutal regimes carrying out violence
such as in Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq and Serbia
and on the other hand Russia launching an unprovoked,
brutal, genocidal invasion of a peaceful, democratic country.
Even in the case of Libya where perhaps NATO should not got involved there was already a civil war occurring before
NATO got involved.
Two points should be made absolutely clear.
One, if Russian leadership was so upset about NATO
expanding to Russian borders then if Russia wanted to
start a war over it the logical thing to do would have been
to attack NATO and not Ukraine which was not in NATO
and was nowhere near joining NATO.
Two, we know Putin's a weak, paranoid man but nobody in their
right mind could have thought that Ukraine intended to
attack and conquer a massive country like Russia which is
armed with many nuclear weapons.
Ukraine never showed the slightest sign that it planned to
invade Russia, nor has any country in Europe.
The only country that has given an indication it might invade
Russia is China which feels that a lot of Eastern Russia is land
stolen from China in the 1800s that should still be Chinese territory.

@jacobnash9755
United States?
That's the country where police kill a thousand civilians a year,
women are treated as baby factories with no rights,
doctors can go to prison for treating pregnant women,
children and teachers are not allowed to say the word gay
even when describing a family member or friend or themselves,
Black people and other non-white students aren't allowed to give
their own viewpoint on history in high school or university classes,
children and teachers have to go through metal detectors
and risk getting shot just going to school,
Trans people are banned by government from being themselves,
more people are incarcerated than in any other country,
politicians pass all sorts of laws to stop citizens from voting,
politicians gerrymander like crazy so that they pick the voters they want
instead of voters picking the politicians they want,
Muslim people can be banned from entering the country
and a random small group of anti-freedom, far right religious fanatics
can interfere with student freedom and parental rights and free speech
by getting books banned for an entire school board just because
there is a character in the book they hate for no justifiable reason?
Sounds like all those guns you Americans own to be ready to shoot each other any time you wish
aren't doing anything to protect Americans from government.
In fact when you add it up Americans have less freedom and are far more like slaves
than people in developed countries which have much more freedom.
Though I will admit that Americans have the right to die because they have
inadequate pre-natal care or because they have no maternity leave
or because they have no health coverage at all.
So you do have that freedom.
And let's not forget the right to work for a ridiculously low minimum wage with no union protection
because some states passed anti-union laws so that one never gets out of extreme poverty.

@toxicmale2264 somebody who cares about their country recognizes and tries to help fix their country's flaws
and the United States has a vast number of flaws.
Chanting loudly "USA! USA!" is juvenile, ridiculous and annoying and shows blind acceptance of all the horrible things
about the United States which have stopped it from being considered a developed country
and is actually a sign of someone who doesn't care about the United States.
One can praise an imperfect mother because she is a human being with feelings
but a country doesn't have feelings and the people who care about the United States
are those who are not blind to its many horrible problems
and so are criticizing what's wrong and trying to lobby to fix those things -
eg, police racism and brutality and killing of citizens,
extreme levels of gun ownership and gun violence,
lack of truly democratic elections,
lack of universal health care,
lack of paid maternity leave,
religious fanaticism and hostility to science and to expert knowledge,
extreme racism and segregation,
homophobia,
xenophobia,
unhealthy strident, loud, xenophobic, delusional over the top "patriotism",
etc., etc.

In another discussion which focused on housing prices people were questioning why it is that today's houses are so expensive compared to the new houses of the 1950s which at the time a working class person could easily save for and buy before they turned 30 years old.
Some people did comment that the houses built just after WW2 from 1945 to 1955 were not up to the same quality level of today's new houses.
No insulation, low quality windows, few electric outlets, one tiny bathroom, tiny kitchen,
no family room and only 1,100 square feet.
Though one person said that they would be happy to buy a house like that if they could get it for the same price as people paid in 1954
(in real dollar terms which worked out to about $138,000 in today's money).
Whether developers could build a 1950 quality house today for $138,000 is another matter.
Certainly not in New York, San Francisco, LA or Miami where the land alone would cost more than that.

@jasperchance3382
Nonsense.
The homeland of white European Jewish people is ....surprise, surprise....Europe.
According to genetic experts Palestinians have lived continuously in Palestine for at least 3,700 years.
Likely some of their ancestors living in Palestine 2,500 years ago were ancient Israelites because there were no Christian or Muslim people in the world at that time.
Palestine is the homeland of the Palestinian people.
In the year 1800 only about 2.5% of the population in Palestine was Jewish.
For those particular Jewish people their homeland was Palestine but to claim that Palestine is the homeland of white European Jewish people who were living in Europe is nonsense.
And don't start ranting about the fact that some European Jewish people might have some ancestors who were living in Palestine 2,000 years ago.
To say that a place is one's homeland because maybe a few of one's ancestors lived there 2,000 years ago is ludicrous.
Almost all the ancestors of today's white British population didn't live in Britain 2,000 years ago but for a British person to claim that their homeland is in Sweden or Denmark or France or Germany because some of their ancestors lived in those places 2,000 years ago would be ridiculous.
If everyone in the world tried to claim that any place in the world that some of their ancestors lived 2,000 years ago was their homeland and that any place in the world where people of their religion lived 2,000 years ago was their homeland and then everyone in the world tried to invade and occupy those places they claim are their homelands then the entire world would be filled with constant war and chaos all the time.
Thankfully, only Zionists have such a ludicrous, self centered view.
And that attitude has brought the Zionists occupying Palestine endless conflict as was easily predictable when any people arrogantly invade and occupy the land already belonging to and occupied by another people.

@alexxela9502 utterly ridiculous and horrific and distorted and untrue Russian propagandist comment of yours.
Par for the course for a Russian propagandist.
The only "provocation" in Ukraine was that it was developing into a more free,
more democratic, more progressive, less xenophobic country than is Russia.
Putin's terrorist regime had absolutely no justification for his genocidal invasion of Ukraine
and attempt to destroy Ukraine as acountry and steal its territory
as he had no justification for similar invasions in Moldova, Georgia, Chechnya
and his two invasions into Ukraine in 2014 in Crimea and Donbas.
All these invasions were unjustified and unprovoked and intended by Putin
to try to create an 18th century style Russian empire because he's
mentally stuck centuries ago and because that in brutally invading
other countries he can somehow compensate for his personal insecurities
and constant weakness, paranoia and xenophobia.
He can't.
Everyone sees him for the weak, insecure, paranoid, little man that he is.
Of course in the case of Ukraine he's not only invading to play make believe
and pretend he's Peter the Great but he's also trying to steal all of
the resources of Ukraine and as I said he's very worried about the
fact that Russian people seeing a free, democratic, progressive country
next door might decide they want the same thing.
Your claim he has justification for using a nuclear weapon is absurd nonsense
and a barbaric statement.
Nobody has attacked or threatened Russia - Putin and Russia are completely
responsible for the war.
For you to claim that Putin has reason to use nuclear weapons simply because
Ukraine is defending itself against an unprovoked, genocidal Russian invasion
is completely ludicrous and a very distorted view of the world.
And no - Putin's genocidal invasion of Ukraine has nothing to do with NATO
as Ukraine was not in NATO nor was it anywhere close to joining NATO.
Though this unprovoked genocidal Russian invasion has shown the world
that other Eastern European nations were right to join NATO for protection
against potential invasion by Russia.
They knew Russia and its empire building fantasies best.

Prigozhin said that over 20,000 Wagner troops had been killed in the battle for Bakhmut.
One western military expert said that that is likely a significant underestimate
and given all the Russian lies about this war he's probably right.
If the true number of Wagner dead during the Bakhmut battle is 30,000
then likely at least 60,000 Wagner troops have been wounded in the battle
which makes for 90,000 casualties -
add the number of Wagner troops who surrendered or deserted and
Wagner might have lost close to 100,000 men fighting for Bakhmut -
possible only because for a while large numbers of men in Russian prisons
kept volunteering or being conscripted into Wagner.
If as well regular Russian forces lost a total of 40,000 dead, wounded, captured or deserted in the battle
that would make for 140,000 total Russian men lost in taking 9 months to capture
42 square kilometres of ruins out of over 600,000 total square kilometres Ukrainian territory
and wasting vast amounts of ammunition and having huge amounts of equipment destroyed in the process.
And Ukrainian forces still control the high ground to the west of city so can easily rain
shells down on Russian troops occupying the ruins of Bakhmut.
And this from a Russian military which Putin thought could easily conquer all of Ukraine within a couple of weeks.
It's very clear that as long as the west continues to send Ukraine enough military supplies and financial aid to continue to fight
Russia has no hope of winning this war and at best can hope that Russian forces can resist Ukrainian offensives
and hang on until Russia runs out of foreign reserves and can no longer afford to keep fighting
which should happen within 12 months and possibly as early as this December.
I wonder if Putin is willing to wait until Russia is effectively bankrupt and virtually its entire military is destroyed
before pulling out of Ukraine.
One military expert said that it is going to take 10 years for Russia to rebuild its military after
the losses it has sustained in this war.
Perhaps if this war goes on another year it will take 20 years for Russia to rebuild its military
after this war .......though if Russia is bankrupt and still selling its fossil fuels dirt cheap in a year
perhaps it will be incapable of rebuilding its military at all.
Plus 20 years is a long time for a country such as Russia which is facing demographic decline.
Russia won't have nearly as many young men to conscript in 20 or 30 years,
especially with so many young Russian men wanting to leave the country.
If this war goes on another year before a bankrupt Russian government has no choice
but to pull the battered remnants of its military out of Ukraine
that might be the end of Russian delusions of empire forever.

@republicindian1844
The white racist, colonialist apartheid Israeli regime has stolen Palestine
from the Palestinians and locked over two million Palestinians
in a horrible overcrowded impoverished impractical Gaza prison camp
behind walls and barbed wire fences and has sadistically
refused to let Palestinians leave Gaza no matter
how old, young, sick or injured they may be
while cutting off water, food, electricity, fuel and medical supplies
and brutally bombing all of Gaza and attacking schools,
hospitals and refugee camps and destroying or damaging
the homes of over a million Palestinians.
So it seems that you haven't the faintest understanding of the situation
but the horrific Israeli regime has made sure that the
Palestinians in Gaza against whom it is committing such
barbaric atrocities have nowhere to go.
Time you learned some of the basic history of Palestine and Israel
and developed a basic understanding of what is going on now
and developed some basic humanity.
If you don't give a whit about close to 4,000 innocent Palestinian children dying
and well over a million Palestinians driven out of their homes
and 2.3 million Palestinians deprived of water, food, electricity, fuel and
medical supplies and about Palestinian children with horrific burns
and other catastrophic injuries being deprived of pain killers
and sterilizing treatments and surgery
then there is something very, very wrong with you.
How did you lose your humanity?

I think that two trillion dollars in reparations from Russia to Ukraine would be a good start
to make up for the deaths, injuries, destruction, disruption to lives, disruption to business,
stress Ukrainian people have suffered, war crimes, terrorist acts, etc.
carried out by terrorist Russian invaders.
As well of course Russia will need to make massive reparations to people around the world
who have struggled with high food prices due to Russia's unprovoked genocidal invasion,
in particular people in poorer regions in the world who have suffered greatly
dealing with high food prices and food shortages.
Russia can complain about this but it's necessary to teach Russia
to stop launching unprovoked invasions of other countries
intent on stealing their territory,
something that Russia has been doing a lot the past few decades
because apparently it, unlike the vast majority of countries,
has not figured out that the days of imperialism are long over.

@paulmakinson1965
And generally, the "strong men" tend to be very weak men.
Trump, Putin, Modi, Xi are all very weak, paranoid, insecure men
who lash out at anyone whom they see as being against them
even if it is just a delusion.
They all hate a strong, independent press that challenges
their questionable actions.
Stalin too for that matter was a weak, paranoid, insecure man
who probably never got over his father's disdain for him.
Truly strong, self confident people don't feel the need to lash out
all the time at other people just because those other people
are also strong and have a different point of view.

First of all, you need to understand the difference between a refugee claimant and someone in the United States illegally.
Quite pathetic that you are apparently so ignorant on the subject.
Secondly, you need to get rid of your bizarre delusion that native born Americans don't commit crimes.
Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, Leopold and Loeb, Billy the Kid, the Boston Strangler, Dennis Rader and endless more.
Just Google American serial killers. You'll learn something and get rid of your delusions.
Actually, people who are refugee claimants are much less likely to commit a violent crime
because the consequences for them if caught are not just prison time but also deportation
to a country they made a desperate effort to get away from.
Is it possible that a refugee claimant might commit a crime?
Of course, just like it's possible for crimes to be committed by red haired people, left handed people,
short people, people born on a Wednesday, people who went to high school in Wichita, etc. etc.
If you're going to rant to show your mindless hate and intolerance why don't you rant about car jackings by people born on a Wednesday?

@bhaashatepe5234 so in 2014 Russia launched unprovoked invasions into Crimea
and into Donbas and then held a gun to Kiev's head and said,
"Sign this agreement or else"
but you think that agreement should have any credibility?
Seriously?
Imagine that a gang of thugs invaded has your house,
occupied and stole part of your house
and at the same time your one son who is very violent
attacked and killed some of his siblings and tried to
take over control of another part of the house with the help
of the thugs and then he drove other members of the family
out of that part of the house
and then the thugs held a gun to your head and ordered you
to sign an agreement giving control of that part of the
house to your violent son or you would face severe consequences
and so to save your life and under coercion you signed the agreement.
Do you really think that agreement you signed at gunpoint
should have any legal validity?
Would you really be ok with that plus giving up the other part of
the house to the violent gang of thugs who years earlier
had signed an agreement in which they promised to never interfere with your house
in return for you giving up powerful weapons you had?
I can assure you that there is not one chance in a billion that you would be ok
giving up part of your house to those thugs and another part of your house
to that violent son and there is not one chance in a billion that you
would say later that the agreement you were forced to sign at gunpoint
was valid and of course nobody else other than the thugs and their buddies
would say that that agreement has legal validity.
Well, of course that is basically the same situation as when
Russia launched unprovoked genocidal invasions of Ukraine in 2014
and then forced Ukraine to sign the Minsk agreement at gunpoint.
So your ranting about the Minsk agreement is meaningless
because anyone who is logical and decent and ethical
would agree that the Minsk agreement was signed
under coercion at gunpoint and thus has no validity.
Only a Russian troll would rant about a pro-Russian agreement
which has no credibility because it was signed at gunpoint
and under the threat from Russian invasion forces
after Russia had in the Budapest Memorandum said that it
would never interfere in Ukraine.
If you're not a paid Russian troll then you can prove that
by admitting that the real problem is that
the Imperialist terrorist Russian regime
violated the Budapest Memorandum and launched
unprovoked genocidal invasions into Ukraine in 2014 and 2022
and admit that a Minsk agreement signed at gunpoint has no validity
and also that that agreement to let a gang of thugs
and your violent son steal part of your house has no validity
because you were forced at gunpoint to sign it.
Otherwise do tell us how many rubles you get paid per post.
Just curious.
And as you clearly don't understand the overall picture in Ukraine
I'll explain it to you.
Starting in the 1400s a number of European nations became Imperialist
on a grand scale and started building huge empires.
Around the middle of the 20th century for various reasons
all but one of those Imperialist European nations
started giving up their empires and going back
to just being small European nations no longer
having any significant territory outside their countries.
However, Imperrialst Russia was the exception and refused to
give up much of its empire for many decades
until a man called Gorbachev came along and realized that
the era of empire was over and so gave up a lot of the
colonies of the Russian empire while still keeping
some of the Russian empire.
In every former European colony there were citizens of the European colonial power
left behind but at a certain point Britain, France, Spain, etc
told those colonialists that where they lived were now independent countries
and that if they still wanted to live in British, French, Spanish territory
then they had to move back to the country where they or their ancestors
came from.
However, a lot of Russian colonialists in now independent countries
that used to be part of the Russian empire refused to accept that
they were no longer living in Russia and that the vast majorities
of people in those countries wanted to be independent of Russia
and so instead of doing the logical thing and moving to Russia
as British people had left Kenya to go to Britain
and French people had left Algeria to go to France
those Russian colonialists acted irrationally and launched
violent insurrections in places like Moldova and Ukraine
and attacked their neighbours and drove them away
and tried to subvert democracy by creating fake independent states
that would really be client states of Russia.
These violent Russian colonialists didn't care that when Ukraine became independent
the majority of people in Crimea voted to stay in Ukraine
and that in the Donbas the vast majority of people voted to stay in Ukraine,
nor did they care that both Crimea and Donbas had been part of Ukraine
a very long time.
To make matters worse Russia got a new very Imperialist leader named Putin
who is living in the 17th century and who wanted to reconquer
independent countries that had previously been part of the Russian empire
and so he decided to invade countries such as Moldova and Ukraine
to help those violent Russian colonialists steal territory from those countries.
Those violent Russian colonialists and the Imperialist Russian regime
also clearly didn't understand that
the reason why almost all of Europe has been at peace since 1945
is that other European countries gave up the idea that they
should be constantly attacking each other to try to regain
territory they used to control.
Obviously some governments of Serbia have also not understood this
and it is not clear that the current leader of Hungary understands this.
So many Russian colonialists in Moldova and in Ukraine
refuse to accept the reality that they no longer live in Russia
and because they don't care what their fellow citizens want
and because they are very violent and aggressive
and because Russia now has an aggressive Imperialist dictator
who has the delusion that it is still the 17th century era of empire
and so has repeatedly launched unprovoked genocidal invasions of
other countries .....
As the resukt of all that we have seen wars and violence in parts of Europe
not seen anywhere else outside of areas attacked by Serbia.
The solution is simple.
The Russian regime must like other European countries move from
the 17th century to the 21st century and recognize that the era of empire is over
and must end its invasions of Ukraine, Moldova and other countries
and take its troops back to Russia and then hand over all
Russian war criminals to the Hague and pay full reparations to anyone hurt by their actions
and then start behaving like other European countries and
just live peacefully with its neighbours the same way other European countries do
and then those Russian colonialists who are violent and extreme
need to do the logical thing and move to Russia once they have
served appropriate time in custody for any violent actions
in their uncalled for insurrection they may have committed.
The Russian government, Russian elites, Russian military, Russian people
and Russian colonists in other countries must do the same thing
that happened in other European colonial regimes and with other
European colonialists 60 years ago and come to grips with the reality
that the era of empire is over and that it is not the 17th century anymore.
And then finally Europe will have peace again.

One might have hoped that a two state solution might have been possible with the Zionists keeping 20% to 25% of the territory around Israel's two main cities but as the war crimes and genocide in Gaza have continued for ten months it has become obvious that as long as the Zionists continue to occupy any territory in Palestine ongoing conflict is very possible, likely or probable and Palestinians deserve peace.
More and more it's clear that the best solution to the conflict is for the Zionists to end their invasion, occupation and oppression in Palestine and leave and go back to their homelands in Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia or wherever else they came from and finally let the Palestinians have peace and freedom in their own homeland.
There was no conflict between Zionists and Palestinians when the Zionists still lived in their homelands before they invaded Palestine and if the Zionists went back to their homelands the conflict will end and both Zionists and Palestinians will have peace,
something that neither side has had since the Zionist invasion started in the late 1800s.
It goes without saying that before they go the Zionists should pay for the establishment of a fund to rebuild Gaza and to provide regular mental health support for all Palestinians for the rest of their lives and to compensate Palestinian families of those innocent civilians who have been injured or killed.
It will be a vast amount of money for Zionists to pay but finally they will be doing the right thing.
A United Nations agency could administer the fund.
The endless conflict between Zionists and Palestinians and the oppression of Palestinians has gone on far too long and if the Zionists continue their occupation of Palestine the conflict and oppression will never end.
After 76 years of conflict let's admit that the creation of the colonialist state of Israel on territory already occupied for at least 3,700 years by Palestinians and at a time when the era of European imperialism was starting to wind down was a huge mistake that needs to be undone.
Already it will likely take another 100 years for Palestinians to recover from 76 years of occupation and oppression.
Let's not make it worse by continuing the disastrous experiment of creating a white, European, Imperialist, apartheid, oppressive state on Palestinian land.

Science changes based on evidence, not on social change.
Darwin realized the history of evolution because of evidence he found,
not because of what vision he had for society -
in fact he was afraid to present his theory because he knew
it would upset people.
Belief of scientists in the age of the Earth, the speed of light, the theory of relativity,
quantum physics, Newton's laws of physics, a solar system centered on the sun,
planets and moon orbiting according to the laws of physics (not pulled by chariots),
quantum physics, the existence of other galaxies, atoms, molecules, quarks,
the Periodic Table, etc., etc., etc. have nothing to do with social values or ideology
despite what you imagine.
And that includes the complex nature of gender and sexuality.
Logical people believe that gender and sexuality are a lot more complex
than the simplistic story we were told when we were three years old
because that is what scientists who are experts in the field have found,
not because they have an ideological bias desiring to have such things.
I don't have an ideological bias in fsvour of their being nuance and complexity
to gender any more than I do regarding the existence of quarks.
Frankly the world would be simpler if there were only two straightforward genders
and if we could just think about electrons, protons and neutrons
and no quarks but scientists have to describe the world as it is,
not as it would be simplest for us to understand and to relate to
what we were taught at age 3.
Even saw a quote from a physicist complaining about all the
new sub atomic particles that kept being found -
but although the physics may have become more complicated than he would like
he still wasn't going to pretend that reality wasn't reality because that would be illogical.
Unfortunately right wing extremists don't like or can't handle complexity,
nuance and sophistication and want everything to be as simple as
what they were taught at age three.

@DD-bp3jn
You want to deport any American who opposes theft of land, racism, apartheid, oppression, war crimes and genocide even if they were born in the United States?
There is something very, very wrong with you.
It's not normal to love theft of land, racism, apartheid, oppression,
war crimes and genocide.
Why do you love those horrific things so much?
Why do you hate law and order and human rights so much that you think people should be deported if they support human rights?
You are really, really messed up.
But Hitler and Stalin would like your attitude.
Does that make you happy?

Russia, North Korea, Iran, Sri Lanka, South Africa.
The countries that China picks to be its economic allies all seem to have devastated economies and to be very poor.
In comparison the allies of the United States are countries like Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan,
Canada, Britain, Sweden, Finland, Germany, France, Italy, Spain.
Quite a difference between the two groups of countries.

@Invisiblehand123 the United States has the wealth, the scientists, the writers and artists in every field, the academics, the resources, the geography and the activists to have the potential to be the "greatest country" on Earth if such a phrase means something which it does not really.
However the United States is not remotely close to being the greatest nation on Earth because it is not yet a developed country and it will never be in the running until it becomes a developed country.
To become a developed country the United States would need to have paid maternity leave, universal health care, lower rates of infant mortality and deaths of mothers in pregnancy,
value human lives more than guns, have far fewer homicides, have police kill far fewer people,
imprison far, far fewer people, stop thinking metric is part of a communist plot and go metric,
have far fewer religious fanatics and become a true democracy which it has never been.
To become a true democracy the United States needs to have federal elections run by an independent, unbiased, neutral election commission with standard rules across the country instead of the bizarre system of having partisan elected officials and state governments run and manipulate the federal election process in each state.
Also to have true democracy the United States needs to get rid of any significant
gerry meandering, greatly reduce the influence of big money in elections,
have automatic voter registration, get rid of the senate or base it more on population
and get rid of the entire absurd electoral college system and let the winner of the
popular vote become president.
And of course the same changes need to happen for state wide elections.
By many measures the United States is similar to very poor, impoverished, undeveloped countries instead of being like other wealthy countries.

@lf725n I could go into a shop with valuable pottery and break every piece and then say that I won my war with the pottery shop but that would be a ridiculous thing to say as how am I better off or a winner due to breaking a lot of pottery and as well shops have an old expression, "You break it. You bought it"
and whether or not Russia stupidly tries to occupy the country they have destroyed Russia will pay the cost of the destruction they have caused many times over.
The bond between Russian and their brothers in Ukraine had had for a thousand years was broken by Putin within days,
Russia has become a pariah state and Putin is now a pariah,
Russian people can no longer travel almost anywhere,
Russian people are going to find they can get few foreign goods and afford even fewer,
the vast country of Russia is likely find it doesn't have a working airline system within a year as it runs out of spare airplane parts,
Russian inflation and interest rates are skyrocketing,
Russian athletes are being banned from many sporting events such as the Paralympics, the World Cup and the World figure skating championships,
Russia is reverting to life similar to dull, dreary, repressive, isolated life in the 1970s Soviet Union
and worst of all huge numbers of the most talented young Russian citizens are fleeing the country thus aggravating a severe demographic problem Russia already had
(by one estimate 200,000 young Russians fled the country in the first two weeks of the war).
Oh yes- and Russian leadership seems to have significant problems as a leading political figure close to Putin has fled the country,
The man in charge of foreign intelligence publicly got dressed down by Putin and is now reportedly under house arrest as is his deputy and the defense minister has mysteriously disappeared from sight and most other Russian political leaders seem to avoid saying anything as opposed to supporting Putin and oligarchs have criticised the war.
And the Russian economy is about to drop dramatically and Europe is planning to transition away from Russian gas supplies and NATO has become a lot stronger than it was 5 weeks ago and Finland and Sweden are now seriously considering joining NATO.
Russia is likely going to suffer economically for at least 30 years if not for 100 years due to its invasion of Ukraine.
And in the war itself up to 15,000 Russian troops are dead and no doubt many more are wounded and those will not dead or wounded are frostbitten, poorly fed, miserable and angry that Putin sent them into a pointless war. And countless Russian tanks have been lost, missles wasted and the weakness of the Russian military has been made clear to the whole world.
But you say that Russia has won? Utterly ridiculous claim.

@markdickens968 the problem with right wing views these days is that in many countries the right wing political parties are turning into cuts run by populist demagogues with very
disturbing views such as racism, xenophobia, misogyny, homophobic views, ableism, hate,
refusal to believe in science and a bizarre belief that people can just make up their own reality,
, religious fanaticism and intolerance,
and a disdain for true democracy in which all people have a voice
and the willingness to gain power by any means
including intimidation and violence and lies.
Oh yes, and right wingers these days have somehow developed the
disturbing attitude that individuals (at least individuals they like)
should be free to do whatever they want regardless of the
devastating impacts those actions may have on other people
or in the environment -
that basic decency and humanity and morality have no place
and that governments should do nothing to assist those who
are weak or poor or sick or who have less opportunity in life.
That's a start anyway.
So now you have an inkling why people detest right wing views.

Funny how in their religious fanaticism Zionists make up things as they go along and ignore facts and logic.
Actually genetic tests have shown that Palestinians have significant ancestral roots in the ancient Jewish people and no doubt are the descentants of ancient Jewish people who converted to Christianity or Islam.
And who cares who lived where 2,000 years ago anyway?
Human groups have moved around for hundreds of thousands of years.
The idea that in the 20th century every religious and ethnic group should invade and occupy the land where people like them lived 2,000 years ago is insane and would lead to constant wars and chaos everywhere.
A lot of India was Buddhist
2 000 years ago.
I take it that the Zionists think that Japanese and American Buddhists should invade and occupy Indian towns and cities that were Buddhist 2,000 years ago . .
at least if Zionists are going to be consistent.
And what's so special about
2,000 years ago?
Why not have groups of people
"reoccupy" land based on where people like them were
10,000 years ago or
20,000 years ago
or 50,000 years ago?
Insanity!
But somehow the Zionists think it makes sense for every group of people to reoccupy any piece of land that people like them occupied some time in the past 300,000 years or Zionists don't think that and are complete hypocrites and think that this strange rule should apply only to Jewish people and only looking back to the time period 2,000 years ago and not to any other time period in the past.
Maybe the ancestors of the current Jewish people were living in Afghanistan or Siberia
40,000 years ago so the Zionists should move to Afghanistan or Siberia.

@dockilat5576
I don't agree with the attacks on civilians but how would you advise Palestinians to defend themselves against the white, colonialist invaders who stole most of the land in Palestine and set up a white, racist, colonialist, apartheid state and forced the previous inhabitants of the land into large, overcrowded, impoverished prison camps?
The world used to be filled with white, racist, colonialist fully fledged apartheid states but one by one they disappeared and now Israel is the only one left.
Over three decades ago the leaders of the other last white, racist, colonialist fully apartheid state in South Africa finally realized that trying to keep an apartheid state would never lead to peace and stability but it seems that Israeli leaders just haven't figured that out yet.
Can you explain it to them so that white, racist, colonialist, fully fledged apartheid finally disappears from the Earth?

@TheSeer101
Trump has spent the past nine years showing how immature, uninformed, unhinged,
money hungry, narcissistic, insecure, paranoid, selfish, racist, xenophobic, misogynist,
detached from reality and indifferent to law and order, democracy, the constitution and the country he is.
If you still need more time to figure out what sort of person he is
you've either been out in the wilderness for over 10 years or
you have really, really serious problems with comprehending
obvious things happening in front of you.

The 5 year olds in kindergarten at any local school are more qualified than Trump.
More mature than Trump, no signs of senility, can distinguish between truth and fiction,
don't go off on bizarre, deranged rants, don't carry on toddler temper tantrums for years,
don't run fake universities or fake charities, don't sexually assault women,
don't constantly get in trouble with the law, don't have unpaid bills,
don't run casinos into bankruptcy, don't threaten to invade other countries,
don't inject disinfectant, don't stab friends in the back, etc., etc.

No,obviously that's not what we mean by cult and that is not how sheep in the MAGA cult behave or think.
A cult such as the MAGA cult has a demagogue leader who is bullying, indifferent to the truth, demands absolute loyalty and obedience from the cult members and tells the slow witted, gullible cult members that they are superior to everyone else and that anyone outside the cult is evil and dangerous and a threat to the cult and should be hated and attacked by cult members if that is the desire of the cult leader.
Cult members such as the sheep in the MAGA cult are weak, insecure, paranoid individuals with an inferiority complex who are terrified of anyone who is different than them in any way and so hate anyone who is different than themselves and they join the cult because they feel very insecure as an individual thinking for themselves and they like the fact that the cult has weak, insecure, paranoid, afraid, angry people like themselves and a cult leader who will do their thinking for them and will tell them how special they are even though they are not.
Both cult leaders and members are effectively like small insecure children afraid of rejection and desperate for approval and are extremely uncomfortable with complexity snd nuance and sophisticaticated ideas and with people who are better educated than themselves or smarter than them or who think about things.
Cult members like simplistic, childlike answers to everything and get angry and lash out when people outside the cult explain that situations and problems and solutions are complex and not simple.
Thinking is strongly discouraged and effectively banned within the cult.
Things like science, logic, evidence, careful analysis and expert education and experience are not given any weight, especially if they lead to conclusions that contradict cult ideology.
In a cult the leader must always be believed and considered right no matter how many times he lies and says things that have no connection to reality and the members must bow down to the cult leader and submit to him and serve him.
In cults members come to conclusions based solely on the ideology of the cult and the desires of the cult members and leader and any evidence that contradicts those conclusions is ignored.
Very often the leader of the cult is a grifter and conman and a hypocrite who unlike the sheep in the cult knows that what he claims about the cult serving the needs of cult members and what he claims about the specialness of cult members and anything else he says is utter nonsense and that the true goal of the cult is to give him a chance to benefit himself at the expense of gullible, slow witted cult members who are naturally servile and obedient and don't like to think for themselves.
That is what we mean when we call the MAGA cult a cult.
Whatever you're describing, it's certainly not the MAGA cult.

@bradhuskers
you've studied the subject for decades and still you don't have the faintest understanding?
That's not impressive.
Israel is the last racist, white, colonialist, fully fledged apartheid state in which the people who were there before European invaders showed up and took most of the land are treated as second class citizens and kept in large, overcrowded prison camps which the white settlers ensure are kept impoverished.
The solution as has occurred in basically every other previous white, racist, colonialist, apartheid state including apartheid South Africa is to give the original inhabitants of the territory equal rights and the freedom to live, work and travel anywhere in their homeland with no undue racist, colonialist harassment by police, soldiers or other authorities based on race and in this case that means to work, live and travel anywhere in Palestine.
Name me one other remaining white, colonialist, racist, apartheid state anywhere in the world in which the original inhabitants of the region are denied freedom to live, work and travel anywhere they want in their own territory based simply on race and there is a massive racist legal structure designed to oppress the original inhabitants of the land to the same extent as exists in Palestine?
You can't.
Maybe you should spend a month as a Palestinian living in the prison camp that is Gaza so that you better appreciate the reality of life for Palestinians under oppression by the white colonizers.

@scotthullinger4684 control of crime?
Trump and the MAGA Republicans?
Lol. Lol.
These are the people who are saying Defund the Police
and saying that Trump and his cronies shouldn't face legal consequences no matter how many crimes they commit.
Look at all the legal problems Trump has got himself into.
All the women who say Trump sexually assaulted them,
Trump's sham university,
Trump's Foundation to "help charities" that didn't help charities,
Trump and his father discriminating against Bkack people seeking housing,
Trump successfully sued for slander and sexual assault by E. Jean Carroll,
Trump bragging on tape he could get away with sexual assault,
Trump trying to extort a political favour out of Ukraine government,
Trump sending a violent armed mob to atrack the Capital,
etc., etc., etc.
And of course Trump's company was involved in all sorts of shenanigans
and was convicted of running a tax fraud scheme for years.
Trump said that his voters would still support him even if he
shot someone on a downtown street.
Clearly a cult leader and cult members who don't care about crime.
From your indifference to Trump's illegal activity
I take it you're one of those cult members
whom he thinks is incredibly gullible, servile, obedient and amoral
so that you don't care what crimes Trump commits.
And let is not forget Trump and the Republicans consistently fighting
against tighter gun laws that would decrease gun violence in the United States.
There's a reason why developed countries have vastly less gun violence than does the U.S.
It's because they have much tighter gun laws than the U.S. because those countries
don't have a gun fanatical Republican party that thinks that guns should have unlimited rights
at the expense of children and other human beings.
And let's not forget the disturbing behavior among some
Republican Supreme Court justices with their willingness
to accept free trips and other things from wealthy Republicans.
Trump and the MAGA Republicans who support him obviously don't give a hoot about crime.
And obviously withholding weapons shipments to Ukraine in an attempt to extort the
Ukrainian government to make up a criminal case against Biden's family
was a reason for Trump to be impeached and removed from office.
A typical and extreme case of Republicans politicizing a legal system.
And it goes without saying that Trump sending an armed mob of deranged extremists
to attack the capital, threaten his political opponents including the Vice President
and to stop the transfer of power and subvert democracy
and keep Trump in office was one of the worse attacks on the United States in history
and should have got Trump thrown out of office
and put in prison for life.
Imagine if in 2016 Obama had sent a violent armed mob to attack the capital,
threaten Republican politicians, try to stop the transfer of power, end democracy and
keep Obama in power as a dictator.
You wouldn't want Obama impeached if in 2017 he did what Trump did in 2021?
As for the economy, every single recent Republican president has increased the deficit -
Trump did so every year he was in office.
Democratic presidents on the other hand decrease the deficit.
Unlike Republicans they don't give big tax breaks to the wealthy.
Plus Obama had to rescue an economy that was a disaster when Bush left office
and Biden had to rescue an economy that was a disaster when Trump left office
and now inflation caused by Chinese lockdowns and the country coming out of a deep recession
and Trump's bromance buddy Putin's invasion of Ukraine is way down
and unemployment is incredibly low and the economy is booming
despite Republican efforts to destroy that including a Republican threat
to default on paying the government' bills many of which came from
expenses during Trump's presidency.
You really need to start thinking for yourself again and crawl out of the
slime of the MAGA cult.
MAGA cult leaders are focused on helping themselves and their wealthy friends
at the expense of regular working class people like you
and grifting to get slow witted, gullible MAGA cult members to send them money.
Very sad that those MAGA cult members get suckered like that all the time
and everybody but them understands that they are getting taken advantage of and played
by wealthy MAGA leaders who don't care the least bit about them.
Stop being a gullible sheep and stop letting MAGA cult leaders take advantage of you
and start supporting Democratic politicians who actually care about working class people.
And absolutely stop destroying your reputation defending Trump online.
