    It has EVERYTHING to do with this situation on a philosophical level. Can you not comprehend that?

    USA stole sovereign land yet USA condemns the "theft" of "sovereign" land....hello!

    Please show me where USA repented for such actions and if they didn't then surely they must think it is a fair play

    I answered in post 5508. Russia is no threat to them. The US is fear mongering to keep Europe in NATO.

    Yep, hypocrites. We're still going to keep giving the Ukies Jdams though, and us being hypocrites doesn't put Putin not in violation of international law.

    So if understand your logic when native Americans 'stole' each other's land (and its a matter of historical record that tribal groups fought each other over territory sometimes resulting in the defeated parties being driven out of their historical homeland) that's OK? But if 'white guys' do it that bad? Right and wrong is a matter of skin color not actions?

    Native Americans were engaged in feudalism. You're confusing feudalism with colonialism, it's a common mistake naysayers make, no Biggie.

    So brutality and theft in feudal societies is 'OK' but not in colonial ones? And lets not even start on the fact that the native tribes of America were 'colonizers' themselves. And so one again your fixation on skin color as the driving force in history shines through.

    I was refuting a "what if" brought up by the person i was responding to.

    You shouldn't call them a simpleton.

    Also, you can't abort the moon, it's not a fetus or a person, or even a mammal or animal.

    No you didn't, you misdirected. Blah blah blah america...

    Try actually answering the question this time.

    What do you expect a small none nuclear power state like Lithuania to do to insure their sovereignty from an expansionist aggressive regime like Russia?

    They can't answer honestly without either accepting the need for NATO to protect these nations or denying these nations the ability to be independent from Moscow. All you are going to get is distractions, deflections, whataboutisms & poor comparisons. What you won't get is an answer.

    Once again, your fixation with exonerating colonialism is noted. Perhaps you'd be best off learning the difference between feudalism and colonialism, before making such outlandish statements

    Point to any statement anywhere I might have made 'exonerating' colonialism. Go on, do it. My position is and always has been that all of humanity has blood on its hands regardless of race, religion or culture. In fact history is mostly a testimony to man's inhumanity towards his fellow man, wrapped up in blood, oppression and slavery. Your constant mantra that 'it's all whitey's fault' conveniently ignores that fact.

    European colonialism is arguably no more or less than the most recent example of colonialism. Enacted on a far grander scale than other episodes before it? Yes. And as a result producing far more suffering due to its scale? Quite possibly. (Albeit you'd still have to adjust for differences in population density to get the real picture of the disruption earlier episodes caused). But at heart its no different to any other such episode of history. Africa, Asia, the Americas, all have grand acts of barbarity and cruelty written into their histories with nary a white guy in sight.

    So, you are claiming that the genocide and land theft of "native Americans" was a good thing?

    Little lost are you bobby?

    Vlad moved in to stop the genocide of ethnic Russian ukrainians that have lived in the Donbass for centuries. They are the indigenous people.

    Here you go again attempting to exonerate European colonialism. Either that or you're woefully unaware of the horrific episode, spanning several hundred years, in your ancestors not too distant history.

    Ukraine was killing its own ppl . NATO was clearly happy with this (many think NATO was directly involved in the coup) but Putin could stand by no longer, the terrorists in Ukraine had to be dealt with.
