They provided support to the French, mainly logistical, only really got directly involved after the French lost Dien Bien Phu. The US was there from the first in Korea, poor task force Smith, given an impossible task. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Osan

So shift production of cars in one month. :eek: I think if I attempted to say something that stupid my face would break. Blondie might just have the most publicly humiliating job in the USA.

Sure MAGA and their lot are going to cry socialist. Attack right back at them. "Stopping thieves in not socialism, stealing is socialism. They are stealing from you." "They are NAZI's, you know National Socialists. America wake up." Lean into their ignorance and prejudice. You are trying to...

The Vatniks would have us blame the more reasonable suitor for "provoking" the spurned husband.

Many have been comparing Trumps attempts to force a cease fire as akin to the Munich treaty. While there are some parallels, that is Czechoslovakia was forced to give up part of their nation for peace. Only to be fully taken over months later. To be fair to Chamberlain he really thought he had...

Well regarded? Not by me they are not and there are many other academics who regard their rot as just that stinking garbage. But yes IF appeasement was what Europe was going to do, expanding NATO was not appeasing Putin. Problem is we know that appeasement does not work. Putin would have invaded...

While I agree with this a certain extent, reasoned debate is not possible if people are allowed to outright lie. Opinion is one thing, statements of fact another.

You are the one spreading misinformation. You were to prove that the US was responsible for the Revolution of Dignity, or withdraw said statement. I know you have not proven it, so did you withdraw said statement?

Which is NOT a justification for aggression. Trying to protect yourself from being attacked is not valid justification for being attacked.

This is what Europe, in particular Germany tried. By linking their energy needs to Russia they hoped that Russia would prefer to take the money instead on invading people. News flash it failed. Russia just tried to use it to leverage Europe in not opposing their invasions.

I will simply rehash my replies to similar rubbish you posted earlier. This is wife basher crap, regardless of the warnings an abusive ex husband may give to an ex wife not to enter into another relationship, this in no way justifies his attacking her, nor can a prospective new boyfriend be...

Not really a surprise and the opposition are not pro Putin, If they were they would not be in parliament, being pro Russian is not popular in Ukraine, even before 2022. Now the opposition normally would like to be in power, but I doubt they want elections now. Z is popular, Trump is on the...

France of all the western nations can most afford to annoy the US. They have an independent nuclear & miliary arms complex. De Gaulle clearly was correct. Vive la France

Move this to the background to the Ukraine war thread.

Being a St Kilda fan can on occasion be a challenging experience.

Far better to leave the invite in place, but put roadblocks in discussions about the details of the visit. i.e. Sure you can have a state visit, but the SS cannot be armed. You must stay at a hotel of our choosing. Only press we allow can cover official events, sorry no Fox news. Given our wish...

First comment "MAGA Moscow's American Government Agency"

"Cheering while punching themselves in the face." WTF is wrong with these people, I try to understand it, but sometimes the sheer horror overtakes you.

Best if he died in an embarrassing sexual manner. Toys, ropes, cross dressing etc.

I note that Trump has been using the phase "America First" a lot. This has very dark historical roots in the US, fascism, racism and the klan. https://fpif.org/the-ugly-origins-of-trumps-america-first-policy/...

Because they do not want to end up in reeducation camps. They are at present an elitist conservative party. Unless they change, they will lose any chance of power.

To have any chance of winning the next election & to stop the slide of the US into a fascist state, the democrats must become a genuine progressive party and abandon all forms of identity politics. Make the conflict a class one, poor vrs rich, not a straight white male vrs the rest contest. So...

Comment I liked from a Canadian. "Living next to Trump's America is like living next to a crack house."

Basically because the republicans generally have more attractive to the poor and uneducated. Simple solutions, blaming others, always plays well with those who do not know better. And lately at least they have been worse economic managers as well.

We are getting some where. So Russia's invasion was unjustified. As long as you are willing to accept that there is no moral or ethical fault on behalf of the west for allowing former parts of the Soviet Union to join NATO. Lighting the fuse as you put it.

This is wife basher crap, regardless of the warnings an abusive ex husband may give to an ex wife not to enter into another relationship, this in no way justifies his attacking her, nor can a prospective new boyfriend be considered in part to blame for lighting the fuse. The situation we have...

Well done. Yes it was the case that once upon a time the expansion of NATO could be seen as soft power imperialism. It undoubtably increased the USA's soft power as the nations in NATO would wish to keep on the good side of the USA. But at the expense of increasing the USA's commitments. But...
