Yeah, bullshit. NATO was framed since its inception as a geo-strategic tool to contain and rollback Soviet influence in Europe and a way to forecfully, and irrevocably, integrate member countries defense structures into the US' (a control so great that France left the alliance in the 60s because of...

It came up as the logical consequence if Facebook cannot be regulated by countries which aren't America, before that discussion petered out. Did you read the thread? Oh wait. Just because Russian used Facebook to influence an election it doesn't mean that banning/censoring Facebook is the appropria...

I already posted in past that I don't think they should censor Tiananmen. Not its relevant to my point about Leftist hypocrisy. Because anyone else can now justify censoring on the grounds of adverts having undue influence on political process. The point which flew over your head is, this opens up ...

Says the guy who cuts out the rest of my explanation. I was only focusing on what I took issue with. Notice how you use that to dodge Tiananmen square. Or my point about that still being censorship. OMG, Rachel Maddow is only one person. Give that man a prize. Maybe I should write "for example...

I'm going to ignore this petty squabbling to get back to the OP a little. Now, unfortunately, before I even say anything, I feel it necessary to put my disclaimer at the top. I am NOT trying to be an apologist for Russian interference. Since I know people on this forum have a difficult time respond...

But lets go on, because your example betrays your blatant hypocrisy. Lets say Marvel hires hmm, Richard Gere. Someone who China hates. China is under no obligation to allow that Marvel film in. That's freedom to choose what films to allow in their country. Its not fucking censorship. That is textbo...

Why? How do you infer that from the statements given? I didn't say she was unqualified for every position being offered. I didn't say it was for a position on a ship, it could be space station. Since you're going to use ST canon, rather than assume I just chose those names for fun, it could very we...

When the author mentions unelected and President in the same sentence, and no other position, it can only mean unelected to the presidency. Nowhere else would we apply this twisted logic. Lets use an example Captain Picard wants to appoint the unqualified Keiko O'Brien as chief engineer. Based on t...

Only to you did it imply this. Everyone else reading it interpreted he was not elected to the presidency. It did not mean he was not elected for something else. There is no need (except for you) to mention he was elected to another position, because they weren't discussing it. There is no way in he...

Granted you were most probably thinking of the position of president of China rather than the position of CCP leader, I never mentioned the Chinese government in this thread, I would appreciate it if you wouldn't put words in my mouth. See what I mean about how you interpret sentences in ways no on...

Missed the edit window... The statement could have been reworded to say "Trump recognises Guaido, who was unelected to the Presidency", that would have removed any ambiguity. Alternatively, the author could at least mention the 2015 elections. If the author can mention the 2017 elections h...

Unelected to the presidency, numbnuts. The article should have said "unelected to the presidency" because, if one just reads the article one gets the impression that the opposition are unelected, period. This is lying by omission. No offense, but this is the second time in this thread you...

I would also like to point out that Juan Guaido's political party, Popular Will, was admitted into the Socialist International in December 2014. So they can't be that right wing. Unless the Socialist International does a terrible job of vetting who they let in...

If he wasn't eager to sell out his own country, Trump and his henchmen wouldn't be backing him. Maybe Trump is getting played? LINK Your source makes several dubious claims. Right in the first paragraph it claims that the opposition is unelected. This is a lie. The opposition was voted into the Nat...

How many practitioners of social democracy do you really think would seek aid from Donald Trump, Mike Pence, John Bolton and Elliott Abrams? He sought aid from the entire International community, not just the USA. This is like saying that the invasion of Iraq wasn't the work of US regime change lun...

Has Jill Stein made death threats against elected officials? Has she been involved in attempts to overthrow the government? Does she take part in riots wearing the same gear and using the same tactics as the Proud Boys and other neo-Nazis like the ones who killed Heather Heyer in Charlottesville? h...

Macron's police just shot one of the Yellow Vest leaders in the eye. Imagine if Maduro did that to the Preppie Pinochet that Trump wants to foist on Venezuela. Which reminds me: If Maduro is this godawful tyrant, how is it Uncle Sam's newest quisling isn't already in jail or dead? Presumably becaus...

What do you mean by "British Government"? Are you referring to Parliament? Because there is a growing movement in Parliament calling for a second referendum. It's just a few stubborn Brexiteers opposing it. As for another election, we almost had one. Parliament had a no confidence vote ag...

I hear people saying that since the UK and France are calling for fresh elections in Venezeula, then they should apply the same standard to themselves especially with the former Brexit debacle and the latter's Yellow Vest protesters. I suspect this argument came from Putin's mouthpiece, but an argu...

Same reason he tried to overthrow a pro-Russian government in Syria. Look guys, we're playing 3-D chess here. You are aware that Trump ended the CIA program to topple Assad, right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_Sycamore#Phasing_out In July 2017, anonymous officials stated that President Dona...
