A picture of one tank of unspecified time in some location at some particular moment in time is proof positive that the 10+ Bradleys destroyed "lived".
I never said all of them lived. Just that not all of them were fully destroyed.
'Scuse me Sir, I'm a MIDDLE-Eastoid.
Having not known that information before: Suddenly lots of things make a lot more sense.
so you admit that NATO is the "fuck Russia club"
Anyone who said otherwise was lying, and I am not one of them.
expanding NATO is an act of aggression directed against the Russians.
THIS however, is untrue. NATO expanding is NATO expanding. It is a defensive alliance, not an offensive one. If Russia wants to take that as a threat, that says more about their attitude than it does NATO's. Even when the US was doing things against Cuba, we were not that paranoid.
It didn't take much for your to rip off the mask of "we hate invasions!!!!" and "RUSSHER STARTED A WAR"
Dont misunderstand. If Russia invaded and won in 3 days, I would have condemned it while still saying "What choice did Ukraine have." That Russia didnt steamroll Ukraine and left them with a chance of fighting back is why they very much should dig in their heels and keep fighting for what they can, because they have the power to do it. And Russia's own true weakness (once the face of "strength" was ripped away) is what allowed it to happen.
And if you ever thought geopolitics was about anything other than power, someone was lying to you.
I respect that. You openly want to plunder the entire world, rather than hiding behind liberal pieties that your own regime routinely violates.
I wouldnt put it that way, especially since I would still see nations in a hypothetical American Empire being more liberal than they started (much like with the British). But yes, the last 4 years or so have taught me the problem was that we thought we could do empire different and be nice about it. Russia and China have dispelled that notion, while our so-called "allies" in Europe spit in our face.
Message received. Strength and power it is. I guess Rome was right after all.
I never said all of them lived. Just that not all of them were fully destroyed.
Not proven, but alright. I said they were wrecked.

Do tell.

Yes, I can't doubt your honesty. Nor do you try to deceive yourself.
THIS however, is untrue. NATO expanding is NATO expanding. It is a defensive alliance, not an offensive one.
Pure rubbish. Destroying Yugoslavia and Libya was not 'defensive'. And as someone steeped in realism, you know full well of the defensive-offensive equivalence. Even if it were true that NATO is defensive, and that's obviously false, it would be viewed by Russia as offensive for a "fuck Russia" alliance to come up to its borders.
If Russia wants to take that as a threat, that says more about their attitude than it does NATO's. Even when the US was doing things against Cuba, we were not that paranoid.
What is this? You nearly destroyed the whole world over Cuba having Russian troops. And the Monroe Doctrine dictates the same.

You have a strange understanding of power. You looked at France during World War I and thought: why not repeat that?
And if you ever thought geopolitics was about anything other than power, someone was lying to you.
Obviously it is, but the US keeps lying about it, and being hypocritical.
The Westoids eat it all up.
I wouldnt put it that way, especially since I would still see nations in a hypothetical American Empire being more liberal than they started (much like with the British).
Yeah, more BLM and transgenderism, which are the main exports of the American Empire. Which is why I don't like it.
Not to mention the deaths. Iraq may be more 'liberal' now, at what cost? Obviously, the cost to Iraqis was not even a consideration, as you fully understand.
Russia and China have dispelled that notion, while our so-called "allies" in Europe spit in our face.
What are you talking about? They're your puppets and would cut off their own arm if you commanded it.
Nothing bad. Just that now I have an idea of your biases and beliefs, so now I can at least look at the things you say and understand where you are coming from.
Same as you would with me being openly an American Nationalist.
Nothing bad. Just that now I have an idea of your biases and beliefs,
Not necessarily. People from any region disagree on every issue there is. In fact, some of the people I know who follow Western media are complete Westoids. It's a poison.
Same as you would with me being openly an American Nationalist.
Yeah, but that's an ideology. I'd say you're more of a Statist though, since what you advocate for is the aggrandizement of the American state rather than the nation.
You never responded to how NATO is 'defensive' when it destroyed Yugoslavia and Libya. I'm glad I managed to elicit some sort of response from you, and I'm careful to not make people with minority opinions feel unwelcome, but that really is something.
