@Very-Rusty saidNow tell us how you feel about all of the unprovoked invasions by the USA. And tell us how many there were.
What reason did Russia have to invade Ukraine??? Rare minerals perhaps???
Their invasion was unprovoked, and the world knows it, you must be a bit slow not your fault I am sure.

Can you do that?

@sonhouse saidTrump has no concept of diplomacy. Did you see his secretary of state sitting on the sofa nearby, like a sack of potatoes, utterly dejected,and left out. I suppose I would look like that too if my boss had done my job for me, and done it so badly. I’m utterly aghast at how few republican congressmen realize what a complete diplomatic idiot Trump is. Trump is a bulldozer in a China shop when it comes to diplomacy.

DISGUSTING. Putin is dancing in the streets.
PUTIN is our enemy, NOT UKRAINE,
Trump says Z is gambling with WW3.
The entire WORLD except the Russian alliance is aghast at this display of a thug Trump has shown himself to be to EVERYONE on the planet and OF COURSE it i ...[text shortened]... one who sides with Trump now is allied with Russia and we know here at RHP who those people will be.

How does diplomacy work when there’s a hot shooting war going on? You don’t start off talking about mining rights. (Nor do you start off talking about deporting the local population and building hotels in Gaza.) You start off by arranging a cease-fire. Then you discuss prisoner exchanges. Then you discuss where to draw the border and get troops to withdraw to their respective sides of the border. Then you arrange an international peacekeeping force to enforce respect for the border. Then you arrange for international inspectors to investigate possible crimes against humanity or war crimes. Then you discuss what Russia will get by an agreement: namely, an assurance that Ukraine will not join NATO. Then you discuss what Ukraine will get: the Russians to pay reparations to repair the damage the Russians have caused to Ukrainian infrastructure, and acknowledgment of Ukrainian sovereignty. Then and only then does it make any sense to discuss mining rights with a party which was not actually involved in the hot shooting war w boots on the ground.

@Metal-Brain saidI did and still do oppose US troops in Syria.
I do not see you condemning our government's unjustifiable war of aggression in Syria. You cherry pick which wars to condemn based on the democrat party pro war propaganda.
You want to prolong the war. You are against peace in Ukraine because of pro war propaganda. The democrat party hates peace and cannot explain why they hate it because it is all about Trump. You ha ...[text shortened]... .
If Trump wanted war you would want peace. Anything he wants you are against it. It is obvious.
Do you oppose Russian troops in Ukraine?
This whole post is BS. I've consistently here, for over 20 years, opposed military interventions that violate international law. I support peaceful resolution of differences between nations and always have.
@no1marauder saidDid you support Russia defending the Assad regime in Syria by bombing Al Qaeda terrorists being supported by our government in an effort to overthrow the Syrian government?

It was interference in the internal affairs of Syria. Assad was a dictator who deserved being overthrown by his own people.
@no1marauder saidSo you admit you support invasions. You believe in just invasions which is absurd. All invasions are rationalized by just regime changes of dictators that are demonized as bad leaders. They don't even really have to be dictators. They will lie and claim democratically elected leaders are dictators. Maduro was called a dictator by John Bolton while he was trying to overthrow Venezuela by coup. Maduro is no dictator, but the Shah of Iran was and the USA supported hi.
No.

Do you support the invasion of Saudi Arabia to remove MBS from power?

"It was interference in the internal affairs of Syria. Assad was a dictator who deserved being overthrown by his own people."
You are ignoring the fact that the US efforts to overthrow Assad "was interference in the internal affairs of Syria". And the US arming Ukraine with free weapons is also interference in the internal affairs of Ukraine.
You cannot hide your obvious double standards. Interference in the internal affairs of a country is only bad if Russia does it, not when our government interferes. That is your position.
@Metal-Brain saidWhat part of "his own people" didn't you understand?

No, giving weapons to a country to resist an invasion by another nation isn't "interference in their internal affairs". That must rate as one of your stupidest statements (and that's saying something).
@no1marauder saidAl Qaeda terrorists are his own people? How do you know they are from Syria? You don't. You are laughable!

So when terrorists try to overthrow our government they will be our own people too? Then why did you support shooting one of them and locking them up after Jan. 6? You called them insurrectionists and never condemned the killing of an unarmed protester who happened to be a small woman.
Contradictions dude. That is what propaganda gets you to accept.
