Catch up sir. We now have a Commonwealth, not an empire.
Crown land is very much public land and is separate from the monarch's private estate. Hence the majority of land in Canada is owned by the federal and provincial governments.
How many Commonwealth Nations fought in the Vietnam war to uphold French Imperialism?
@Metal-Brain saidErm, the Commonwealth is an association of independent countries. How is that a euphemism for an empire?

Empires are simply more successful when they are covert. Overt empires would fail in this day and age. The empire controls the news media in those countries and can get who they want elected to run those countries for the crown.
Tell me, how did the UK become independent from the monarchy?
How was power ripped away from the British crown?
@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidTell the crown to stop claiming it and give it to Canada.

Ukraine is losing the war big time. Zelensky desperately needs a peace agreement or he will lose the whole country.

Putin is not counting on a peace deal. He knows he cannot trust anybody to follow through with anything.

"Free Ukrainians" will march into Moscow one day. 😆
@no1marauder saidYes. What idiots they are to have gone there, right?

Ukraine is about to run out of soldiers to fight the war.
@Metal-Brain saidYeah, they only have 900,000 and 1.2 million reserves. https://www.globalfirepower.com/countries-comparison-detail.php?country1=ukraine&country2=russia

You want to fight until the last Ukraine. You want to give war a chance.....as long as someone else does the fighting.
The west never intended to win that war. The only purpose of the war is to weaken Russia so they cannot fight back at western imperialism very well in Syria, Sudan, Somalia and other countries.

Remember when the USA funded both sides of the Iran/Iraq war? Then they invaded Iraq and now they want to invade Iran.

@mike69 saidWhy do you guys continue with your pipe dream that no one wants a liberal government?
We’re not to happy with them either and our machine doesn’t break down. The friends you have are a bunch of puss liberal leaders who’s own people can’t stand them so I’m not too worried what they think of us just like yours they will be out of power soon enough.
Let's see how the people vote after Trump has ruined everything.
@no1marauder saidI never said surrendering to all Putin's demands. You are being dishonest and your position is give war a chance. And you were very much being contradictory when you justified the US government funding terrorists to overthrow the Syrian government. That was the intervention in an other country. Russia bombing the terrorists attempting an insurrection was a counter intervention. This counter intervention is no different than the USA arming Ukraine to fight Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
So what you mean by "end the war" is Ukraine surrendering to all Putin's demands i.e. letting Russia keep all the territory they illegally seized, forgoing any possibility of NATO membership, forming a government without right wing nationalists, etc. etc. etc.
That's not going to happen and I very much doubt that is what the Ukrainian People desire.
Our government invaded Syria. You tried to justify that by saying the Syrian people have a right to insurrection. That means Trump supporters had the right to attempt an insurrection in this country by your logic. You are full of contradictions.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_Sycamore
The US government had no right to conspire regime change in Syria by funding terrorists to fight for insurrection. Insurrection is illegal in every country. No government wants to be overthrown regardless of how democratic it is. You alleging a dictatorship is irrelevant. Trump supporters can allege Biden was a dictator. You can say that is wrong, but so can the Alawites in Syria.
If the Alawites keep fighting to overthrow the new government in Syria they have a right to do it using your logic. You do realize there is an ongoing civil war in Syria right now, right? Are you waiting for the corporate news media to tell you it is okay to acknowledge that?
You need to sort out your contradictions and confront your cognitive dissonance in a logical way. You are plagued with double think. Contradictions dude. They will not go away until your flawed thinking changes. It is time for you to acknowledge your contradictions and resolve them logically.
@no1marauder saidAre you claiming the USA never agreed to that same UN charter?
"Just" on what basis?
It clearly violates the UN Charter, which Russia has agreed to:
"3. All Members shall settle their international disputes by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security, and justice, are not endangered.
4. All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territor ...[text shortened]... off a bunch of "whataboutisms", explain what was "just" about Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
The USA clearly violates the UN Charter, which the USA has agreed to, right?
Even your legal arguments are contradictions you do not want to acknowledge. Contradictions dude. You need to resolve them.
@no1marauder saidThat is fine....without our money and weapons. Let the UK pay for arming Ukraine to fight a losing war nobody expects Ukraine to win. All Trump is doing is saving us money and lives of Ukrainians and Russians.
I am not dismissing the idea a peace deal can be worked, I do dismiss the idea that can be done without direct Ukrainian government participation.
You want more Ukrainians and Russians to die for what reason? Explain your "just give war a chance" position. What will this accomplish? Explain.
@no1marauder said"Ukraine is no threat to the "Security of the Russian nation" and wasn't in February 2022"
Ukraine is no threat to the "Security of the Russian nation" and wasn't in February 2022. If anything, the war has weakened that equation by causing more nations to join NATO, spend more money on weaponry and shown the inadequacy of the Russian military.
Putin could end the war tomorrow by withdrawing his troops back to the prior border. I don't see you insisting on th ...[text shortened]... t Ukraine accede to Russia's terms; there needs to be direct negotiations between the two countries.
Russia was lead to believe Ukraine was going to join NATO which was a threat to the security of Russia and you know it. Nobody wants adversary nukes near their borders or even close to their borders. This was proven by the Cuban missile Crisis. The USSR did not tolerate nukes in Turkey which started it. That means it should have been called the Turkish Missile Crisis.
The USA provoked Russia's invasion and did it intentionally. The USA wanted Russia to invade and did everything they could to get them to. The USA started the war by provoking the invasion. The only reason Trump wants that war to end is so he can start another with Iran.
