I probably should mind my own business, but unless my reading comprehension is every bit as off as your’s, I believe
@Gameface was saying “nope” to your claim he would post nothing were it not for you, and not to the fact he left you a dislike for one of your comments. Believing one is a victim can do that with one’s comprehension of the comments of others I guess….
Frankly, I didn't read Game's comment that closely beyond just seeing the dislike and his complaint about my including him with MVP in a sweeping, supposedly humorous, generalization.
When you go beyond civil comments and start trying to suppress another point of view, you're not all that far from partisanship on the issue.
Being in the trenches for a cause might not mean you're shooting live rounds, but it does mean you're not a rational disputant merely hashing out differing opinions.
I'm not a hater. People who are on the fighting lines, filling in the ranks of a war, are still humans who need some understanding, and hopefully a reasonable peacemaker who can settle the issues so people can go back to their normal lives.
I've seen some maps of Ukraine's election results over the past three decades. The elections have reflected a pretty strong divide across Russian ethnic lines. People like Amnesty International were talking about pro-Russian parties being denied legitimacy, pro-Russian politicians being charged and jailed on political opinions, all that, long before the 2014 coup.
Russian troops have taken and are holding most of the pro-Russian political areas except Odessa, a city that has been riddled with tunnels in preparation for an Azovstal-style last stand.
To me, the bigger problems are the people who divide a nation along any convenient line of issues/ethnicities and promote war mentality.
I agree with some leading politicians around the world.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on Thursday blamed NATO for the war in Ukraine and said he would resist calls to condemn Russia, in comments that cast doubt over whether he would be accepted by Ukraine or the West as a mediator.

I declined to link an absurd article put out by your friends at the Brookings Institution, other by the CFR. Your mentors are pulling what hairs they can grasp, where ever they can be found.
Brazil, Argentina. Of course Cuba and Venezuela, Now AMLO (Obrado)r is campaigning throughout Central America criticizing the US. "Mexico is not a colony of the United States"
So what do your warmonger mentors plan to do when Russia or China opens military bases in Juarez?
It would be better to back off on this one, bro.
Well, OK. Maybe you want the USA to go down. Who the hell knows.
For sure, we missed the boat when Putin asked to join NATO and we declined that request. So really, doesn't any nation have a right to join NATO?
The whole scheme of building a world of counter-balancing powers is flawed when the same financial interests dominate them all.
Wars might be games big people play, but when it's the little people who are killed it just doesn't really make any war "good".
Unless you just hate people generally. Is that who you are?
