Interesting article about the votes for aid to Ukraine.

More like "Putins Anus" the amount of crap it spouts.

I take it the 'decade of the study of political science and international relations' is your study and not someone else? There are loads and loads of academic crackpot papers written by academics or more like crackpot academics. As a matter of interest, which, ' that research is flawed' you never said? I didn't mention which research paper. I said some research. Odd, to dismiss research as 'flawed' when you don't know which one. I look forward to reading your research paper on the length the US has been at war with the world. As in your 'decade long study' you must have written one. If you have, for all I know it could be crackpot stuff. And I wouldn't want to 'download' that into my head would I now.

So you're saying that America is 'semiconfuctors' thingummy on Taiwan for the US which is 7000 miles awsy. That's just another name for the British Mercantilist East India Company. That looked after trade thousands of miles from Britain. And backed of course by the British navy. Seems like a stolen idea to me. Or is that what all Empires do,?

The US Empire's and your fear is losing that semiconductor thingummy trade. Even to the extent that the USveould blow it up if it thought the Chinese would invade. So much for democracy. That you profess the US is there to 'promote'. Some promotion that to protect not Taiwan's interests but the USs. A bit like the British destroyed the Indian cotton industry in its Empire days, because it was too competitive and there was a cotton industry slump in Britain.

it is no 'babbling conspiracy' that Nuland was prominent, in the internal affairs of Ukraine around the Maidan coup. Just as it's no ',babbling conspiracy', that the CIA were involved with Pinochet's coup against the democratically elected Allende. Phil Agee,'s Inside the Company' is a must read. But of course, during your decade study you must have come across this book. What about the involvement of the UK and US in installing the Shah of Iran in 1953:, against the democratically elected government.

CIA admits 1953 Iranian coup it backed was undemocratic

The toppling of the prime minister Mohammad Mosaddeq and ensuing rule of the shah directly led to the 1979 Islamic Revolution

Some mantra the US has for, ' promoting and protecting democracy'. Mind, I think that's crackpot bull, don't you,?

The US Empire does put boots on the ground. They were in Ukraine, now they're in Palestine. Which is why there are those that want to ditch Ukraine and solely concentrate on defending the colonial occupiers of Palestine, even if that means using the US Empire troops and weapons assembled in the Med then they will.

It's my study, and I know the conflict databases backward and forward. I don't need to see the research to diagnose the problem, in much the same way that there are smoking gun symptoms for some (but certainly not all) medical conditions. Your statement that the United States has only been at peace for fifteen years immediately tells me what the problem is, because I know what's in the conflict databases. The research must be using a tool not suited to the task.

You've answered my question. You're not interested in learning. Continued attempts at discussion will only result in further continuation of the Monty Python argument sketch, and mere contradiction is not an argument. You have accepted critical views of the United States wholesale, and while there is plenty to criticize with respect to the United States (such as its selective promotion of democracy), there are also positives you're not interested in hearing or addressing.

Report from Avdiivka.

The question the US Empire is facing is the 1970s loss in Vietnam lingers over them. They managed to get away with the humiliating pull out of Afghanistan, because they told the likes of the UK to shut up with their blaming the US. Get it out of the news.

That humiliating pull out, was I believe due to the developing situation in Ukraine that they were pushing for ie a build up of Ukraine military to attack Donbass. They can't fight on two fronts. Toss a two headed coin in the air, support the colonists in occupied Palestine or ditch Ukraine.

They need to carry on in Ukraine but can't fight there and in the middle east.

Zelensky's semantics in Malta the other day was the last pitch. The US wanted that conference to guage what the Global South we're thinking now that there's an explosion in the middle east. The Global South went, listened and told him to eff off. That gave the US the answer it didn't want. Hence, Biden finding it hard to get a Ukrainian and IDF package through Congress. This paralysis has resulted in them becoming a pariah nation, in the eyes of the world over Palestine.

We can believe it or not but Putin said it was to demilitarise Ukraine, which without NATO's support it is. And denazify. Which it is getting nearer and near to doing, the more the Azov Brigade, Kraken and other Right Sector organisations actually go to the front and fight. They'll either surrender or will no longer be with us. But as a movement Nazism is finished in Ukraine.

What is this US empire?

 

[WA Toffee]

The US Empire's west centric, benefits and losses, view of the world. And the vassal EU fall for this garbage at their expense.

What is this US empire?

 

[WA Toffee]

A negotiated settlement, is the only way to stop more Ukrainian troops ending up in places like this. It's sad that working class people, yet again, have been conned, whipped up by right wing nationalism, hatred of all things Russian, into laying down their lives for an Empire's war, in this instance the US.. In an attempt to damage another country, Russia in this instance and wage trade war against another country in this instance Germany. It seems it'll rest with the Ukrainian people to take the matter into their own hands and get rid of the US puppet Zelensky.

What is this US empire?

 

[WA Toffee]

Exactly how does the US Empire, have a 'Taiwañ and South China Sea problem'? It's 7000 miles, or so, away from America.

Literally one page ago you claimed that the "US empire" involved 80 countries, now you are claiming the "US empire" is 7000 miles away.

Which piece of your drivel should I believe?
