And yet, the Houthis are still firing missiles and attacking the US fleet. The US still doesn't understand the limits of its military power, and all they're doing is showing the world that weakness.

Yes, USAid dried up FFS. It was nothing about democracy but again, regime change or an attempt at that scenario.

How's things going in Israel?

Ukraine is the most corrupt country in the world. That's where your head is at and supporting. Too much of our treasure has been spent on a fruitless objective that won't be achieved. Full stop! Most of us in the West don't support this. So whose head is in their arse?! Not mine, my eyes are wide open. LOL

4th largest economy in the World, sanctions are having little effect. That's not the metrics of a backward country. Expansionist? No. The largest country in the world by landmass, which has the largest resources of minerals and metals. You're confusing the Soviet regimes of the past with the current country. One can easily argue with facts that the West is far more repressive, especially in current circumstances. Of course, the people support their government, that usually happens when they are under attack by outside forces! Look at where progressive policies have gotten the west thus far! The majority of people in the west don't support much of the neoliberal, globalist agenda and our economies are in ruin. Most of which were self created.

Not if you're simply parroting western propaganda, which you are! Russia isn't some backward country. Like most western countries, they have various types of prisons or gulags. Gulag is just Russian for prison! Some are horrible, just like supermax is in the US.

How could you possibly know that? Have you been a prisoner in both?

They don't in Russia, either. I'm sure isolated incidents exist, but it's not widespread. The reason for the Russian crackdown is bc Civil Society groups in the West, including USAid were using your propaganda against the Russian government in an attempt at Regime Change. You're being used Grasshopper for geopolitical purposes and your crowd is too ignorant to know.

I'm not defending landlords, I'm disputing that your proposal will ever happen, and yes, our constitution in Canada is what guides us. Politics is many shades of gray. You're too black and white in your thinking.
