Read the nytimes article, and look up videos from the Odessa massacre.

1) That was not what I was doing. He was comparing Russia and the U.S. in the last paragraph, so it was very relevant. 2) If we're talking about atrocities, let's talk about 100,000 casualties in Iraq.(most conservative estimate).

Just like it was the russians in Odessa that burned all those people alive? Please. Russia barely supports anyone in the east. Even NY times(the newspaper that was fully pro Iraq war) went in, talked to the separatists and found out they&#x

Just to make it clear, I don't disagree with your first two paragraphs regarding nationalism and alcoholism, but your apologetic attitude for the US is somewhat worrying. Except for Ukraine, which is a controversial subject, when was t

Right. I bet they pay a lot, lol. Since you're more concerned with attacking me ad hominem, I guess I'll just join in. You are paid by the NSA[0]. Mind-blown!Since, after all, character assassination is the way lead a discussion.

Or rather it has to do with Russia and the Brics trying to subvert the dollar, not war. Not to mention, there's no way it would get cut off from the west at this point, if only in political rhetoric. Nordstream and Southstream kicked W

Heh, Right. Is there free mass media anywhere else? Are you aware that any journalist who spoke out against the Iraq war never had a career again? Free mass media is a political talking point, not a real thing. Would you prefer Yeltsin? Put

Except birth rate in Russia has been rapidly increasing in the last 14 years. They are making steps to legalize content, such as vkontakte legalizing 70% of their media material.

It's certainly not that Putin needs to suppress dissent from his own people. It's a very small minority in Russia that would like Putin removed. Now, if we're talking about the west investing x billion in "democratic ins

Perhaps I am confusing the ends with the means. But international law? Several ex US presidents can't even fly to certain countries in Europe because they'd be jailed right away. International law - indefinite detention, torture;

We're in agreement. I myself hail from a former soviet satellite country. My point is that it's insulting to call the US benevolent. The difference between US and USSR is that the US prefers a more subtle way of conquering a count

Except when you pay police salaries, you're expecting them to maintain order within a society. The end goal of advanced military equipment[0] is to kill people as efficiently as possible. It's the goal, not something out of line

But you still sleep well at night, right? Continuing to ignore the people dying everyday because of geopolitical aspirations. Eh fine. I'm starting to sound self-righteous. My issue with your statement is how absolutely peaceful you ar

Your statement is barely even tangentially related to what I said. It's an issue of perception and morality.

History suggests the U.S. generally does whatever it wants in order to get richer, ever since WW2. Selling weapons to both sides of the war(e.g. both nazi germany and USSR) and helping out whichever side is winning. So, no, history doesn&#x

That's not true. What I do have a problem is how OP described U.S. as some sort of exceptionally(see what I did there) benevolent leader.

My comment still stands. As long as America has peace, you're in total agreement with the practice of terrorizing other countries.

Hah! Benevolent! I'm glad you get to sleep well at night, while U.S. military terrorizes the world, and creates wars in order to finance itself. You're either ignorant or amoral. edit: eh. I feel like it needs reminding - I realiz

It seems strange to you that people are moving beyond silly patriotism/nationalism? Hardest doesn't equal most productive. Furthermore, there were less obstacles to him hiring Columbians. I don't see what the problem is here.

1) How about something sustainable? Something that, instead of removing personal responsibility, enables you to conquer the fear and anxiety? An actual system. 2) There are plenty of reasons why your suggestion should not be taken seriously

Your confidence in asserting what the solution to this problem is a bit concerning(not to mention how your suggestions are hardly actionable). At least the author is somewhat humble.

Anybody who kidnaps and assassinates people based on political orders is not someone I'd call a hero. Besides, you're playing ignorant. The article paints those two facts as a good thing, considering the narrative.

Be careful all of you criticizing DominikR don't fall of your high horse. We all know that government authorized assassinations and kidnappings are always directed towards terrorists , and not to achieve geopolitical goals. /s

Can't agree more. US west coast prices are terrifyingly similar to prices in the Baltic States(unless you're living in a metropolis such as NYC). Something to remember: It doesn't matter that you're from Ukraine. It matt

Except corporate espionage is not just about economic leverage, it can also be just about intel. You don't have to steal IP for it to be corporate espionage. Basically, the military is acting as an arm of corporate espionage. In the US
