You help those people by supplying jobs ,so they can work and make money to buy their own homes instead of standing around at the methadone clinic waiting for handouts. OH yea, that methadone democrats give to dope heads, created by the NAZI'S. Research it.
Democrats showed us their true colors when they ram rodded Soro's purchase of radio stations back in september. that license change normally takes a year long review process. But it was rammmed thru so soro's could buy the debt for 50 cent on the dollar and profit from it.
3 democrats in the fcc voted for it,2 republicans tried to protect free speech on talk radio by voting now.
HOw can you have free speech with a communist owning the communications?
Democrats showed their true colors when they said it was fine for a baby to lie crying on a table and die if the parents decided last minuted they didn't want it.
Democrats showed us their true colors when they chose a fish over adequate water supplies in california.
Fema under democrats showed us their true colors when they denied service to Trump supporters.
Democrats showed their true colors when pelosi tore up the state of the union address in front of the world.
Democrats are also showing us their colors when they protect illegal alien criminals over their tax paying citizens.

soros shortcut!
220 radio stations sold. normally takes a year to approve a sale like this.
Los Angeles is in a crisis.
Mexico sends help.
Canada sends help.
Ukraine sends help.
Americans send help.
Trump sends insults.
Republicans send threats.
MAGA sends conspiracies.
Marjorie Taylor lunatic sends insanity.
Who exactly loves America?
Who is the enemy of the people
What your statements are missing is the fact that the search for the cause, needs to be going on NOW. And the dams were not busted by conservatives ,we understand the need for water for a majority population of humans over a few fish. Conservatives didn't cut funding to the fire departments.
Conservatives didn't tighten insurance regulations a couple weeks before the fires.
As far as threats .Shouldn't be any threats.
BUT Until california has people ready to prosecute for arson,or can prove the fires were natural causes, no federal money should be used for anything other than humanitarian aid. Olympics, go some where else, we have a city to rebuild with the money that would be wasted on that.
Something happens in California -> It's the Democrats' fault.
Meanwhile Republicans have not improved anything, for anyone, in decades.
You don't want to improve anything, not for California, not for Florida and not for you, because you think people don't deserve anything. Anything you support now to make California suffer, will only come back to bite you.
The causes for wildfires are not just limited to arson and natural causes.
You also have lots of stupid people and a 3rd world electricity infrastructure.
"California is a Democratic stronghold and considered to be one of the "Big Three" Democratic strongholds alongside New York and Illinois."
And you know, the red states don't have alot of the same issues that need fixing, shit just simply works.
I'm sure Trump will take credit for Biden's infrastructure developments too.
It doesn't "simply work", it's all ancient crap that burns down every day somewhere.
It has been proven to cause multiple wildfires.

Over 1,500 California fires in the past 6 years — including the deadliest ever —
were caused by one company: PG&E. Here’s what it could have done but didn’t.

Even Fox'News' recognizes the problem and references an expert who directly connects power surges to the current wildfires.

People froze to death in Texas, because their shit didn't simply work.
California is where MOST of those electrical fires are.
However, your double standards are clearly visible again:
Something goes wrong in a blue state -> It's the Democrats fault
Something goes wrong in a red state -> It's people's ignorance
The problem in Texas can be directly linked with failing Republican policy,
not just cutting 2% from the fire department budget. Cutting fire department budgets NEVER CAUSE wildfires, it might at best reduce their effectiveness
in dealing with them.

It's possible that PG&E failing Californians is also caused by failing policy, which can then be blamed on the Democratic majority. If you provide arguments on that, you would be focusing on actual CAUSES, instead of failing risk mitigation measures. There is no level of risk mitigation measures that can possibly prevent all wildfires and hurricanes from doing large scale damage, especially not with their increased frequency and magnitude, due to climate change.
"According to available information, before 1800, California is estimated to have lost an average of around 4.5 million acres of land to wildfires annually, signifying a significant impact on the state's landscape due to natural fires.
"
"AI Overview
Learn more
In 1950, California did not lose a significant amount of land to wildfires as compared to recent years; detailed data on wildfire acreage burned in 1950 is not readily available, but records indicate that wildfire activity in California during that time was considerably lower than in recent decades due to different climate and land management practices. "
"According to California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) statistics, 7,622 wildfires burned a total of 295,026 acres (119,393 hectares) in the US state of California in 2000."
Quite a drop in loss's is it not?
Now let's see here just in the past 14 years, how much was lost'
"According to available data, from 2010 to the present, California has lost millions of acres to wildfires, with the most significant recent fires including the Mendocino Complex, SCU Lightning Complex, and the August Complex, burning hundreds of thousands of acres each; the exact total acreage burned is difficult to pinpoint but is estimated to be in the millions of acres across the state. "
Now what has been known about the last 14 years, democrat leadership ,damn destruction, Dei , just look up the video of the woman responsible for water in LA county, back in july saying that DEI was her priority.
Why was the fucking mayor GONE during the fires, after saying she would not travel while she was mayor??????
You can say what you will about these fires, and yes high winds contributed, but who let the local reservoir go empty for a year, who busted the dams for the sake of FISH? democrats.
IS this the best time to be hashing and bashing democrats,perhaps we need to collect all the info and get the fires out first, then turn all hell loose on them.
Govenor newsome talking about LA 2.0, the people don't have enough insurance coverage to replace 1.0 and why the hell would they rebuild in the same place the high winds and mismanagement will continue to be a issue??
For example, Who decides to funnel Federal money to LA to help in whatever ways it is needed? Of all people I think biden signed some paperwork today to get the money headed that way. politics controls the money, regulates how the fires are fought, how the victums are treated and etc. Impossible not to mention government or politics in a situation like this.
Have you ever done anything similar for your community? Have you spent 100's of hours of your personal time to be trained to do a volunteer job to serve your community? I have. Although I am partially handicaped, I still serve my community and my neighbors at the capacity I can.
no hug needed.. just a simple.. Damn.. I feel bad for the people of California my fellow country men ..instead of all the finger pointing and political blame game.. it's the people in trouble that matter.
Yes those people have lost everything. Starting over with a 750 dollar fema check.IF they want to rebuild, or ever get a chance to, there needs to be education as to how it all happened so their hopes and dreams will be safer the next time.
where was his empathy? Why just ask me where mine is? I am simply responding to pitbull with legit info and questions.
By the Way pitbull, not trying to be a asshole towards you, just trying to explain to quint I was replying to you, also add to your list that IRAN has offered firefighting assistance. After reading and posting about the radial islamist being happy about what is going on, i was very surprised to read that. BUT even they have some empthy. Maybe I need to hang around some iranians hey?
That would be similar to North Korea offering help. Of course,no one remembers putin sending a plane load of aid items during covid either.
Who made these budget cuts?
NOW BIDEN JUMPIN JIMINEY... BY GOLLY I THROW YOU OUT
Greenland will be ours as well as panama. You're fucked. Soon because Europe has cheated out America for many years when you walk outside you will see red-white-blue with Donald Trump's picture leading the way..
Without the deep state which is being destroyed as we speak your main line of stolen money will end.

Meanwhile, you are talking about conquering land from allies,
for the glory of the great leader. Tell me how that's not Nazi shit.
Not everyone who voted for Trump is a Nazi, but EVERY Nazi who voted,
voted for Trump. You might be one of them.
You have no idea what nazi's are or why they formed. They formed to create power and dominence. Still you say socialism is the best way but it was the Germans that used this tool blaming innocent people for materialism and power as a revenge for this Treaty of Versailles?
. Blaming the Jew was their excuse but the real criminals that caused Germany into ruin was the lust of destruction and impiety. .. The whole world was to blame, the vatican, russia United Kingdom, the media and American industialists. Hitler was in jail and Germany was broke!! How the fuck did they all of a sudden get all those planes, weapons and prosperity? Was it the Leprochan or going to look for the piggy bank of pennies? The world knew of the atrocities. They read meine kempf. Kill and sterolize the jews, right? Yet all of the sterolizations that were going on at the time most Americans didn't know what was going on. BUT America knew. They were the fucking bastards of the rich helped out financing Hitler to armoment. Time magazine labled Hitler man of the year of 1939...
That's fucking right,, 1939!!! So who were the nazi's. in Germany? Or was it the world? It was only after the battle of stalingrad they were forced to all go against germany. Not until 35 million Jews slaughtered as well as communists, gypsies, homosexuals.. ect.....
in America the industrailists that were rich represented the democratic party as well as a good section of Repubicans although they helped convertly... Roosevelt turned away 1000s of Jews to the gas chambers not only here,, Ironically the country that offered the most safe havens was Germany, can you believe that??
Nazism and socialism are all terms defining control. Those that opposed were eliminated yet you still preach socialsim is the best way..
Trump is not excluding military force! He is most definitely talking about doing a hostile takeover. If you want to buy it, in a honest and decent manor, it will cost the American tax-payer many trillions of dollars. And then what? Then Trump wants to give it away to big companies to drill the oil and mine the minerals, so they can make lots of money from YOUR present to them.
"The world owes us a shitload of money." For spreading your imperialism?
You are in heaps of debt, because you gave it away to your billionaires.
"You have no idea what nazi's are or why they formed. They formed to create power and dominence." Wow, what an enlightened explanation. It literally covers every big government ever. That makes the Nazis not very special, don't you think? Explain what ideology made them decide to do genocide of a specific group of people defined by their religion. Socialism? There was nothing socialist about the Nazi's even if they used the term. It wasn't even communism. Hitler was working directly with wealthy people and giving them control over the means of production; he increased capitalism.
Socialism is defined by social ownership of the means of production. Social ownership means democratically controlled public ownership. Instead of billionaires owning everything and making profit from their ownership, it means the profit would go back in the public capital, to fund housing projects, infrastructure, education, healthcare, medical advancements, childcare, social security, disability , etc., instead of you having to pay for it yourself, from billionaires making more money from that too.
You are very confused about what those terms mean. Although ownership is indeed very much related to control, it's not the same thing.
Socialism is an economic model for SHARED ownership between all citizens.
It's the opposite of capitalism, an economic model where private wealthy people have most of the ownership.
Communism is an economic model where the government has most of the ownership.
Terms for control are described by terms like democracy, liberalism, authoritarianism, oligarchy, dictatorship, etc.
Socialism is dependent on spreading power over as much of the people as possible, because otherwise their ownership would be taken back by wealthy individuals, in no time, but it doesn't define it.
Democracy: Control given to elected representatives in a government.
Liberalism: The principle that control should be limited and distributed over separate entities in a government to balance and oversee each other.
Authoritarianism: The principle of giving maximum power to control everything and everyone with an iron fist, to a small group of leaders or one leader.
Oligarchy: A small group of wealthy people having control of a country or organization.
Dictatorship: Having one leader 'dictate' everything the government should do.
"the lust of destruction and impiety" Ever heard the term "God mit uns!"?
Hitler rose to power by blaming the sorrow and poverty of the people on the current government and the Jews. Trump has been re-elected by blaming the sorrow and poverty of the people on the current government and immigrants, woke people and transgenders. He's even using the same rhetoric as Hitler. His own VP called him America's Hitler, only a few years ago, but he's a spineless careerist, so he has flipped.
In America the "industrialists" have always played both sides. What would be the justification to just play one side, in a democracy? That would be stupid, because the voter would be able to take their power away. Both parties cuck to the wealthy, for money. Most politicians are rich or wealthy themselves. They come in, stack the odds in their favor and collect the profits. Some of them don't even take a government wage, because that's peanuts to them. The will just create an entity like DOGE, cut billions of spending for the average American, calling it waste, so they can pay less taxes, while the average American has to spend more for everything they need, to have a decent life. Just wait and see.
America was doubting their side for a long time. America was very conservative, racist and right-wing, and they liked Hitler, because he was very conservative, racist and right-wing. That's why he also slaughtered communists, gypsies (the immigrants of their time), homosexuals, etc. If there were transgender around during those times, Hitler would have slaughtered them too. You're so close to understanding it.
Pretty wild accusation against your former president there. Many Jews actually fled to Russia. Others fled to the United Kingdom, Free France (Algeria), Sweden, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Canada, and the United States. Of course the US and Canada were a bit far away. They couldn't just easily take a plane to the US, like nowadays. "..most safe havens was Germany, can you believe that??"
Not from you just saying that. I've tried to find information about that, but most information is about how many fled Germany, which is the large majority. I'd be interested in the stories about how German Jews survived in Germany itself.
If it's just white supremacist propaganda, no thank you.
In any case, from the 6 million Jews who were exterminated by the Nazi, only at maximum 525,000 were German Jews, because the population of Germany was only about 1% Jewish. All they others came from other countries. That's just a fact and it is something to think about. It's not like antisemitism was only popular in Germany, that's for sure.
The social media bullshit of the 4th grader on Elon Musk proves nothing.
You want to promote socialism here by making lies of calling people racists, they are the dictator, the criminalls, xenophobes, sexists of those that don't agree with you. Are you saying i'm one of these or all of the above?? But when we get down to the pure hard facts of the druth you then divert with bullshit. Socialism is only another word promoting slavery, control through diversions of the truth. Democracy is the desire to reach freedom through moral correctness. When you have the desire to reach justice the only path that can be taken is throuh unity and education.
Why is this so difficult for you? I'd like to know. Circles and repititions continue over and over again. Is it pride? Egoism? You tell me.
Oh, you're that guy! Getting into the definitions game again?
I'm not a dictionary. Terms mean to me what they are defined as, by dictionaries.
Ask ChatGPT, if you want to have a good explanation of the differences between terms.
I don't base my principles on definitions, but on what kind of world I would like to live in. That results in certain ideas. If some of those ideas can be described by existing terms, I use those terms to more efficiently explain my ideas. If you then want to redefine those terms, to misrepresent my ideas, then you're only making communication more difficult. You're not actually arguing ideas that way.
"Democracy is the desire to reach freedom through moral correctness."
Strange way of describing democracy. Where did you find that definition?
"When you have the desire to reach justice the only path that can be taken is throuh unity and education."
Unity? In what form? All people thinking alike or some form of united government?
There have been many attempts of achieving unity in history and most of them were horrible. What are you referring to as "education" in that context?
You are redefining socialism to what YOU think it means, or what you want people to think it means, to straw-man what I think. That's just a cheap trick.
I can translate the ideological principles of the Socialist Party, I support, by being a member, for you. Then you can show everyone what's criminal, xenophobe and sexist about it. Are you interested?
Or you can do it yourself with Google translate or ChatGPT.

I could ask so many questions about sections of that but it would take a lot of typing for anyone to do that. but I must ask, WHERE , please tell me where , is the incentive for a person to try to be anything but a useless lump in that society?
If you work twice as hard as the people beside you to make a little more money, it appears it taken away and spread out so you can't get ahead. "one person is never more than the other. " that concept, will eventually bring about a society where there would be no one for a leader, no one for a problem solver, no one to save the people when the system finally falls down.
There is no facility there for a person to be anything but a peon and servant to the state essentially. Perhaps not to the government directly but everyone just a slave to each other.I can't eat unless i give you water to give me food.i can't drill a well and have water and grow a garden to have food,it would all be taken away and spread out and I would only have a morsel of what I had worked for. So I would stop and if everyone said fuck it, all would die.
Another example of what makes me scratch my head. Ok so everyone goes to college over there and comes out a genius. So genius's think they are to good to work, so how do you open a factory to make a bed frame for example? no one person is more than another,so who is the supervisor? who draws the plans? Who cuts the wood? why bother with a salary,it's all going to the "people",the 1's that are at home watching tv in the bed that your company made last week after flipping coins to see who would run the saw.
That system makes no sense the more i read. wow,I am 1 bless ed man to be not be born over there. At least here in America we can go out and at least TRY to be more than useless giant ugly bags of water .

and you don't understand?
Go down 3 inches, where I explained the term "fascist" and the difference between Nazis and fascists.
So, are you going to tell me what it is NOT?
What's the difference between Law amd Justice? Go aheaad,. its freedom of speech. YOu can't because you don't know. I've asked you many times and with computer technology you can just look up the answer. You've failed as well as lost my respect of you. You're a joke.
You are either free or not. Fascism, nationalism. dick tator
totalitarian, imperialist , communist, democrat. socialist. bullshittist, bitch, opressionist,, NAZI........ The same. It all comes down to slavery. It's the same.
Democracy is the process to achieve utopia.. What keeps mankind from this road is from people like you.
The difference between a zombie(undead moron) and a zealot is the difference between a fucktard such as yourself and a studious romaantic person that wants to understand how to be a better person.
Democracy is based on moral correctness, ethics and justice. You have absolutely no fucking idea what you are talking about.
You've left me sad. I thought you were better than this. You're not going to waste my time much longer. Better for you right?
I purposely stopped commenting for a period of time to see if the information I gave in this forum would finally start making sense. America is not a perfect country and it is hurting but healing. I hope this ideology continues so that aall citizens are created equal.
I can see Trump is being far more aggressive this time bringing justice including giving the truth about assassinations of key political leaders in this country. He's not going into Greenland to conquer. He is giving mankind the opportunity to grow and to prosper including Europeans but america comes first. No more bullshit politics from the vatican who misrepresent God and all the elite rich that have the power to destroy. Money is power and they want more of it.
We came to Greenland in peace. Through the freewil of the Greenlanders they will choose.. Stop lying about using conquering.. You're not talking to your fucking mother right now.
Now . its going to take time but the evil that has spread in our land is getting the toilet flushed. NO MORE...We are a welcoming country, they had a chance to do it right. Come in legally and show honor and thanks for becoming an american. NOT BY TELLING US YOU HATE THIS COUNTRY AND DEATH TO JEWS. ITS TOO BAD,,, WAY TOO FUCKING BAD. IT MUST STOP NOW,,, I VOTED FOR IT AND IT WILL END UNTIL THE SHIT FLOATS TO THE TOP AGAIN.
"Law refers to the set of rules and regulations that are created and enforced by a governing authority (like a country or state) to maintain order and regulate behavior. Laws are written, formal, and often have specific punishments or consequences for violations. They are typically neutral and based on a structured system of rules.
Justice, on the other hand, is a broader, philosophical concept that refers to fairness, equality, and moral rightness. It’s about ensuring that individuals receive what they are due, whether that’s punishment, protection, or fairness in how they’re treated. Justice is more subjective and can be influenced by ethical, moral, or cultural beliefs. It’s the ideal that the law is meant to achieve."
You don't respect me for looking things up? That's stupid!
We are talking about DEFINITIONS. You keep asking me about the meaning of words and the difference between the meanings of words.
Society determines the meaning of words, not me and not you. We are just users of words.
You can just look up the answer too, because "law" and "justice" are very well defined in dictionaries and by philosophers. I wish you did that more, because you are often objectively wrong about the meaning of some words.
If you think "Fascism, nationalism. dick tator, totalitarian, imperialist , communist, democrat. socialist. bullshittist, bitch, opressionist,, NAZI" are all the same and all come down to slavery, then you have no clue what any of those terms mean. You just defined democracy as "the process to achieve utopia", but now "democrat" means slavery? That makes no sense.
Do you have an example of a system that does not mean slavery?
You said "you are either free or not", so under what system are we free?
Or can we only be free when there is NO system at all? The term "anarchy" meets that the closest. Are you an "anarchist"?
getting back to opinions:
Justice is not limited to freedom of speech. It's important to have freedom of speech, but if you have freedom of speech and e.g. the law allows murder
for witchcraft, you don't have justice, don't you think?
The idea that democracy is a process to achieve utopia or based on moral correctness, ethics and justice, is not completely wrong, but basically democracy is the idea that everyone's opinions and wishes are equally valuable, because all human beings are created equal and are endowed with certain unalienable Rights. Democracy is just a method for creating a government that represents all people equally, but by majority, while respecting the freedom of everyone.
Your statement "What keeps mankind from this road is from people like you" is therefore very undemocratic.
You also have no clue about international law, which is one of the most important products of democracy and national sovereignty, with is an important part of international law. Greenland is part of a the internationally recognized state of Denmark. Secession of Greenland is only democratic,
if the sovereign state of Denmark democratically decides to do so. It's not up to the "freewil of the Greenlanders" to choose.
Since Trump has not ruled out military force, openly for everyone to see,
I'm not ruling out that "conquering" is on the table.
Please, be as rude as you want. You won't hurt me, you're just presenting your character, for everyone to see.
Just trying to reach your arm above the folks in front of you to wave to someone could very well look like a nazi salute.
I worked with a guy who made Nazi jokes all the time. He liked to impersonate Hitler, in fluent German too. He did more Nazi salutes then you would see in the average WWII movie. The difference is that he was JOKING. He isn't a racist and he votes for centrists. It's easy to spot the difference between persiflage and appropriation.
If you support white supremacy, authoritarianism, inequality, nationalism, imperialism, militarism, exclusion from 'the others', anti-intellectualism, anti-secularism, anti-science, and don't fear violence in the pursuit of what you support, than it's fair to call you a fascist, because your ideas then closely match it's definition. The only difference between Nazis and fascists, is the crimes they committed. However, I'm not waiting until history repeats itself, before I speak out against ideas, that were responsible for those crimes in the past.
If someone like that is than also supporting crimes against international law, I indeed start referring to the actual Nazis.
identification with one's own nation and support for its interests
I am a American, I put my country and it's issues far ahead of other countries and their issues. what is the fault in that?
Anti-intellectualism is a general distrust of experts and intellectuals, and a rejection of critical thinking and education. It can also be expressed as a preference for practical education over intellectual pursuit
Considering the number of intelligent people in the room yesterday, I would hardly consider Trump or his people to meet this definition.
Anti-secular is a term that may refer to opposition to the separation of church and state, or to the idea that religion should play a role in public life
Most of us feel like religion removed totally is what has lead to the loss of morals and the decline of our society in general.
imperialism
a policy of extending a country's power and influence through diplomacy or military force.
Trying to keep the panama canal safe from chinese control is a world wide security issue. and making a deal with Greenland could be a asset to world security so making some deals with these folks is not just for the US sake.
I don't fear nationalism in the way you define it. In that way, I'm a nationalist too.
What I fear is support of ALL the actions of your country, above anything and everyone else. I don't do that. Is there a limit to your nationalism?
To be more accurate; substitute the term "nationalism" for "ultranationalism".
That's what I would call the problematic version of nationalism.

You really had to look hard to find definitions of "imperialism" and "secularism" that you like for the purpose of arguing against my positions. Below are the definitions that I support.
Imperialism: A policy of extending a country's territory, power and influence,
through colonization, use of military force, or other means.
Historical: rule by an emperor.
Secularism is not "religion removed totally".
It's: "the principle of separation of the state from religious institutions"
In what way do you not understand the difference?
The idea that the Panama canal would be under Chinese control is Trumpian nonsense. I wouldn't like it if it was true, but fortunately it isn't true. There is no reason to do imperialism to "save" Panama, because their not at risk. Taking control of Panama or just it's canal would make you just as bad as what you are accusing China of. Your country isn't in any way more trustworthy than China. In fact, China tends to respect an agreement much more than the US usually does.
"Considering the number of intelligent people in the room yesterday" where?
How did you determine their intelligence?
You cannot just make a deal with Greenland, because it's owned by Denmark.
It's not up to you to consider what asset it is to world security.
It's a lie every imperialist tells you, before they take what doesn't belong to them.
If you want to buy it from Denmark and Denmark want's to sell it, freely,
through diplomacy, without military pressure or financial trickery, fine by me, but Denmark has already told you they are not interested. I also think they don't trust you, because your side doesn't have a good track record on keeping promises.
Especially Trump is notorious for buying things and services and not paying.
Understand that NATO is a non-aggression pact. Denmark is a founding member
of NATO, just like the US. A hostile takeover in a financial manor is considered aggression too. Is Trump going to exit NATO and alienate the other 31 members?
Understand that the combined strength of the other 31 members exceeds yours.
We probably won't have a war over a big cold piece of rocks, but are you willing
to isolate yourself over it? It's not "America first" it's "America on it's own".
There is nothing "Great Again" about that.
If we are talking about investing more money into renewable energy, you are not sacrificing anything. You'll have more affordable electricity and clean air.
Let me give you an example: If you can borrow $100,000 at 1% interest and you can invest that money in a stock that you get to own and pay you guaranteed 4% dividend per year, what are you "sacrificing" in that scenario?
You always think every bit of "socialism" is about helping other people. IT IS NOT,
it is about COOPERATION. It's using money efficiently, by maximizing cooperation, which is socialism. The opposite is letting a small group of people control all the money for their own profit, while the rest of us serves them, without even having
a choice who we serve. That's capitalism.
You're not serving your country that way, you're serving a few private individuals, who you have not voted for, and who have not sworn loyalty to your country, nor The Constitution. They don't represent you, they represent themselves.
No different than putin declaring war on ukriane, then adding in the denazification later to make ukraine look evil.
If you want to claim it is all about power, well in these case's it was.
Lincoln did interpret that as an act of war.
If you are trying to convince me, you're failing, because I think slavery is one
of the better reasons to go to war. The best reason is when getting attacked,
but fighting against that level of injustice is a good second.
I agree that there are parallels between the secession of the confederacy and Ukraine. The difference is that the confederacy actually did slavery and wanted to keep using slaves and that Putin's argument is absolute bullshit. Putin fits the term "Nazi" much better than the leadership of Ukraine.
Most foreign countries didn't recognize the Confederacy. However, President of the Russian SFSR, Boris Yeltsin, recognized Ukraine's independence.
In the end, it's all about power, I agree, but there's still differences in which side respects international law more, or which side cares about justice more
(to use two popular terms).
the concept of being independent should not have been foreign to him, he was in that office because the US had just done the same thing not long before.declared it's self independent.
Slavery would eventually have reduced drastically or just went away, because mechanical devices would come into play, being more efficient and productive and cheaper in the long run.
Interfering with a countries affairs because you don't agree with them is why we are at constant war with someone. the trend started long ago, just as in the civil war,with butting into other peoples bussiness.
It's not just Lincoln who is responsible for that death and carnage,
the South is just as much responsible for choosing death and carnage for their "desire to control it's own affairs".
