You're trying to educate the wilfully ignorant. I do it too, in the dim hope that maybe, just maybe, one hypocrite will actually look up the reality and get educated.

It's a fools errand, especially on Hypocrisy News, a politer version of Reddit.


Maybe you should shop hanging around here then. I'm unsure of exactly why you haven't been banned yet with your comment history.


And you know about Russia how exactly? Ever been there?


> Azov battalion

Was a direct result of russian invasion in 2014. Also not a government sponsored terrorist organization.


Inspired by Stepan Bandera's memory. He was a prominent collaborator during ww-2.

Oil.

And do you blame them? US behaviour in Iraq, Yugoslavia et al has always been to attack power stations and civilian infrastructure first.

The 47th war criminal in chief Trump and his Secretary of War(crimes) is making threats on TV and social media.

I would love to see the terrorist regime of Iran collapse but in this scenario, sorry, the US is completely in the wrong.


> do you blame them?

Blame is a weird word for geopolitics. I think Iran fucked up hitting those targets pre-emptively. Someone at home had to show their hard-liner boss that they were just as hard-line as he is. So they did something macho. The consequences be damned.

The mirroring of dysfunction on each side of this war is uncanny.


The fact that the protagonist in this lament ever thought that the US was even once considered benevolent is risible.

That's the problem with USAian politicians and bureaucrats.

They have no education, no cultural knowledge, and lack the ability and the desire to understand the other side. They always act as if they don't have to OR project their own malicious intentions onto others.

We should give credit to Trump for ripping off the thin mask of US "diplomacy."


"They're both Russian agents."

Just a matter of time before you start hearing this again. They already tried this once using the Steele dossier.


You don't need the Steele dossier to see trump and his entourage are manipulated by Russian agents.

Fact: Michael Flynn talked with the Russian ambassador.

Fact: Flynn lied about the content of his call. Not to journalists, but to FBI agents.

Fact: Trump dismissed Comey to stop the investigations around Flynn. He said it openly, on camera.

Fact: Trump pardoned Flynn.

Fact: Trump is pushing for the prosecution of Comey - a case so weak it has already been rejected before going to trial.

Fact: FBI agents have been demoted and punished for nothing else than working on the Russian dossier. Including respected career agents currently working on e.g. Iranian operations in the USA. Their only crime has been to be assigned to the Russian dossier, something they didn't choose.

You absolutely don't need the Steele dossier to see something's wrong - except to deflect from the obvious.


Possession is 90% ownership. In this case, especially with Trump, it's 100%

Charles de Gaulle warned of French gold deposits being at risk, his successor sent French warships to recover French gold. That was decades ago.

I think the question is moot now.

Update: corrected a bit of history.


> nothing involving math.

It's like Escher; he didn't have any clue that his intricate work would excite mathematicians and crystallographers.
