PL

There's your excuse!
Is there anyone else left I can go after?

Just finished writing this post
And he already deleted it
Who am I even supposed to vent to?

Israel, Russia to cooperate on energy projects

Israel and Russia are teaming up on energy projects
here is the link

I'm not wasting my damn time translating this just to get nuked again.

Anyway, here's the bottom line
Russia criticized Israel over those settlements they're building in Palestine
but apparently, that doesn't stop them from shaking hands where there's money to be made.

If the Russians don't mind the settlements—which are basically favorites of the US and UK—why would they care about Americans?
Russians aren't extremists, and neither are the settlers.

I bet I'll get a "hate speech" warning from the admin now
if this bothers him, just ban me already.

If the admin is hunting for hate speech, he should look at these two trolls who've been running wild for a year saying Russians are extremists and extremists are Russians...

To the admin—who banned me [ for hate speech ]
Russians aren't Mexicans and they aren't extremists, and that goes for Orthodox Christians too [ Orthodox Christians aren't extremists ].
Orthodox Christians joined NATO and the EU before America did [ like Greece, Romania, Bulgaria... ]
In progressive laws and modern countries, you go after individuals, not entire groups, nations, or religions.

This admin is totally out to get me.
If he won't let me post, he might as well just ban me for good.
Seven days ago, he decided seven of my posts were "weird" and slapped me with a ban.
I wrote those posts over just a few days, and they’re still sitting there.
Then one day, out of nowhere, he hits me with seven warnings in like two minutes and bans me. I sat around waiting for the ban to expire. It ended this morning, so I jumped on and wrote a new piece about Russia [ main topic ]. A few hours later, I see it's been deleted. Why?
And instead of my post, I see these two trolls who have been posting nothing but tiny, needle-sharp comments for a year now—just "Russians and thugs... thugs and Russians..." You can't learn a single damn thing from them; it's just pure provocation.
On the flip side, this morning I spent maybe half an hour doing actual research in American newspapers, translating it, and adding my own commentary, only for this admin to wipe it out.
When I actually write something, people show up and read it—we're talking 100 or 200 views.
He’s blocking me from contributing, yet he lets these two trolls run wild, repeating the same "Russians and thugs" nonsense for a year without deleting them.
Imagine if I started writing about Israel using nothing but "walls and thugs... walls and thugs..."
JUST BAN ME ALREADY. This is impossible.

rowdyowl said:Yeah, we've all said this a thousand times already. I just didn't get the impression that was your take, so my bad—just a little misunderstanding.

It’s all good.
You changed your tune too... you're actually willing to listen to the other side now... you've evolved.
Good stuff, glad to see it.

The absolute worst people in any debate are the trolls and the liars.

rowdyowl said:How exactly are Americans responsible for the chaos in Egypt?

Look, Americans aren't to blame for toppling Mubarak. They didn't even want it to happen.
Things just spiraled totally out of control for them.

Now that this new Egyptian lightweight has taken over, he’s going to deal with nothing but pure mayhem in his own backyard. Honestly, the USA and Israel will be thrilled if Egypt stays messy. Chaos is way cheaper and easier for them than actually launching a military intervention.

The absolute worst-case scenario for them is
a stable Egypt that doesn't act like a US satellite state. That would be a threat to Israel, sure, but not really to the USA.
Egypt isn't a threat to America,
but a sovereign Egypt that refuses to be a puppet? That doesn't fit into the American vision of a unipolar world.

The recipe they're using for Pakistan is the exact same one they used on Egypt
which is basically what the UK and the USA are telling them:
"If you don't act like our satellites, expect total chaos in your own backyard."
Now they have to make their move.

Ashley Murphy4 said:Sure thing...
I guess I should ask Lavrov if the same logic applies to Chechnya?

Nope, doesn't apply.
In Chechnya, you had terrorists fueled by ideology from Saudi Arabia, and they ended up seven feet under.
Chechnya cleared out the terrorists, and the people finally got some breathing room. Now the people can actually go to school, college, or work. They can live a normal life. They can start businesses, save money, and actually build wealth.
The masters of chaos didn't pull it off in Chechnya.
The Cerkeg are Russia's finest sons, and they really proved themselves in the units that pushed into Georgia.
Now, a new wave of terrorists is hitting the Russian Caucasus with that same old ideology, funded by Saudi Arabia... for them, The Hague won't mean anything—just a bullet to the head and seven feet under.

Go ahead and advocate for violence and revolutions in countries run by the masters of chaos instead of in Russia, the sacred Slavic land. According to the playbook used by the likes of the British and Americans, they sometimes let their dogs, like Saudi Arabia and Turkey, off the leash to do their dirty work so they can grab a piece of the pie for themselves.

Besides, the Russians didn't set up The Hague, so you can't exactly blame the Russians for sending generals there... and there aren't any judges in The Hague with Slavic or Russian names anyway.

Anyway, what’s Antony Blinken saying about Georgia? Is he calling for the ICC, or do they play by different rules over there?

The topic isn't Georgia. You trying to derail the thread?
There was already a thread for Georgia; go ask your questions there.
Don't bring me into this.
You could have easily Googled it.
First it's Georgia, next someone's gonna pivot to Syria, then Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq... Israel...

News headline: Georgia party claims ICC looking AT suit against Saakashvili.....

Political statement: God help us, one day we'll prosecute every single person involved, starting with President Saakashvili who actually authorized those horrible crimes. Hopefully we soon be able to prosecute this criminal government in Free Georgia and then send them to ICC.

News report: A leading Georgian opposition party has filed a lawsuit against Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, accusing him of crimes against humanity, a Russian business daily said on Thursday.
