You can't party with your own people anymore

[lennypartiv]

At least there are fewer places where one can do that. Our freedoms are being taken away from us everywhere. It's even happening in foreign countries where our wealth should have some influence.

Back when we have presidents with balls, we had influence in a lot more countries.

Sri Lanka? Really?
You identify with these folk in Sri Lanka? You're Russian? Ukrainian?
What in this story speaks to 'your freedoms' being taken away?
Err..and why, exactly, should your wealth have any influence?

From the OP:

A shocking development has occurred in Sri Lanka.
A Russian business owner attempted to hold a ‘White-only’ party in a popular resort town.
The event, which was to be held on Saturday, was ultimately cancelled after an outpouring of outrage.
This comes in the backdrop of Sri Lanka announcing it would no longer extend long-term tourist visas for Russians – thousands of whom moved to the country amid the war in Ukraine.
According to BBC, the event was slated to be held at the Sarayka Lounge in the southern coastal town of Unawatuna five kilometres from Galle.

The Independent reported that over 288,000 Russians and nearly 20,000 Ukrainians have traveled to Sri Lanka since the start of the Ukraine war.

EvilEyeFleegle doesn't care that we're losing our influence in the world. We installed the Shah as dictator when it was necessary for the oil supply. We installed Pinochet as dictator when Chile was about to go communist. The good old days are gone.

One would really hope so..BTW..your two examples are two very good reasons for us to not interfere with other country's Govt.s.
Both the Shah and Pinochet were monsters. The legacy of our interventions still haunts us.

Nice attempt at a deflection....I guess you got nothing as to my questions, right?

Obviously you don't care about our heritage. Anybody who did would be concerned.

My heritage..whatever it is..is certainly NOT rooted in Sri Lanka~

It would be wonderful if you could have dinner with Ammon Bundy. Maybe he could talk some sense into you.

You mean bullying other countries....you like bullies, do you?

Have met and spoken to Ammon Bundy. He's a fruitcake who's lost in his own sense of victimization.

Public lands belong to the public..and if a rancher uses public lands to graze and water his herds..he owes the public recompense.
Simple as that.

But thank you for at least mentioning an issue that is local and that I actually care about~

It wasn't necessary for the Iranian oil supply. It just enabled the British to steal Iranian oil.

Ammon Bundy is just another thief. He wants free pasture.

..and that only briefly. The after-affect was a long-standing hatred of the US..and directly led to the oil shortages and embargoes of the 1970's and 1980's.
Never mind the cognitive dissonance of the United States propping up a decadent, repressive Monarchy.

Isn't pasture a renewable resource?
It'll grow back next year.
