It's not defending Putin as much as it is pointing out that if we set the rules, we need to follow those rules and not change them when we feel like it. Rules based by the way, is horseshit. Following the set laws is correct and we seem to skirt those. Ukraine gets the right of self determination, but those ethnic Russians in E Ukraine don't get to choose?UNI88 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 03, 2022 11:38 amIt shows he's crazy.SeattleGriz wrote: ↑Mon Oct 03, 2022 11:22 am
What does that have to do with blowing up your own pipeline? It's a non sequitur.
What is crazy is Tony Blinken saying that blowing up the pipelines doesn't benefit anyone and then in the same breath saying it will benefit the US greatly.
Why are you so heavily invested in defending/deflecting for Putin and the Russians?
Essentially, if you had a choice, would you do business with the US? Many, many people outside the US say, "hell no".
Is that an indictment in the US? Not really, as I'd love to see the rest of the world have our standard of living, but it is a strong indictment of the neocons pushing this shit.
