No More Foreign Wars

[Captain Caveman]

Ok. We bring our military back home use them on our border

I support that because I've been saying that all along. There will be many past posts of mine stating that. So we both agree.

No.


It was self-defense after Georgia's attack on Russian peacekeepers and mass-murders of Russian civilians in South Ossetia.



Collective self defense after Ukrainian attack against Russian allies - DPR and LPR.


They willingly invited Soviet forces and willingly joined Soviet Union.



Russia took Eastern (and part of central) Europe because Europe, united by Germany attacked Russia.


No. First, it was Poland, who in conjunction with Nazies, invaded Czechoslovakia, ally of the Soviet Union. So, it was totally legal collective self-defense. Second, Russia didn't invade Poland, because a) Polish state didn't exist anymore b) Soviet Union just liberated rightfully Russian lands of Western Ukraine and Western Belarus.



Its better be a bit paranoid, but survive, rather than believe in western goodwill and be genocided.

You always have excuses and they are always bullshit. Oh, by the way, do you ever sleep? you seem to read and post twenty-four hours a day.

 

[Zavulon]

You always have excuses

Because we don't start aggressive wars.

and they are always bullshit.

No, they are not. If you wish, we can discuss any case.

Actually, that has been discussed already multiple times in here. But in short, the People of Puerto Rico have spoken loudly and clearly multiple times on that very subject. They want to be a US State.

Just last month there was a referendum on the ballot about that very question. And here is the results:

Statehood: 56.82%
Free Association: 30.85%
Independence: 12.33%

It is not even close, every single municipality in Puerto Rico (their equivalent of a county) clearly stated that they want Statehood.

So you are wrong, the people of Puerto Rico very much want to become a state. However, doing so will reduce the power of the local politicians, so they oppose it. Every single political party in Puerto Rico opposes statehood, as it puts them more under the power of Congress and less the semi-autonomy they have now (interestingly, the only party that supported it was the non-registered Republican Party). That is why even though their own population and Congress have told them multiple times to take the next steps (draft a State Constitution and petition Congress for Statehood) they have never taken that step. They have yet to even propose a Constitutional Convention to draft a State Constitution, and until that happens it will remain exactly how it is.

And they can only revoke the citizenship if Puerto Rico was to decide to become an independent nation. Something which only 12.33% of the population wants under the referendum l

Was it rigged? that is the charge America makes against any election result in other Countries they don't like, Venezuela is the latest target.

Well that's what happened whether you like it or not, even the EU had to admit the truth, those peacekeepers were both Georgian and Russian, just before the Georgian Blitzkrieg those Georgians vanished.

My father and uncles thought Filipinos were great people and should have been allowed to come and go to the U.S. and work here without needing visas or passports; they were great allies in WW II. Puerto Ricans have also done more than their share re military service. I understand why FDR was dedicated to de-colonization around the world, but in some cases it was throwing the baby out with the bath water, not just in our case but our allies as well. Hong Kong's independence only left them vulnerable to take over by Red China, for instance.

Take over by China? Hong Kong is Chinese it was stolen by British Colonialists they never were independent from the British, did they protest and use violence against British Colonial rule?

You love Commie Rule.

Hong Kong was better off with Britain. Was full of Phillipinos when I went there before China took it.

Just giving you the facts and all Colonialists say the natives were better off under their Colonialism, some said that about the Apartheid Nazi Regime, you need to learn some History about how Britain acquired Hong Kong.
Without opium there would have been no Hong Kong. The British only acquired it because of the Opium Wars, and the city’s early economic success was built on the opium trade. It was the British who fed the Chinese propensity for opium.

So. Better for the people not being Communist.

But you love communists

Breaking news! the Chinese are Capitalists now and look to be rather good at it, that's what really pisses the US off.

Hey, good luck in trying to teach an American history, you'll need it.

Who would guess that a number of Philippinos is a sign of how the place is better off.

It is time to stay out of the foreign war zones and giving money and weapons to fight proxy wars. The money should be spent helping American people and not foreign countries. America first.

Ok

So let’s stay out of Denmark and out of Panama

I’m sure you must agree

 

[Blaster]

Ok

So let’s stay out of Denmark and out of Panama

I’m sure you must agree

We aren't at war with either of those countries.

Not yet.
