    So, people like you believe Russians can invade, loot, rape, enslave, and murder their neighbors and they are within their right to do so, but as soon as other countries start to react and seize Russian property you cry “Bloody Pirates”.

    No, I can believe that the US government can invade, loot, rape, enslave and murder countries as it pleases. More, it can overthrow legitimately elected governments as it pleases. It's been acting in that manner for pretty much my entire life.

    I’m a U.S. citizen and an American taxpayer. My political opinions carry as much weight as political opinions of any other fellow American. ;)

    As for constitution - you have a poor understanding of what it is, as you repeatedly demonstrated that you do not understand where the U.S. constitution does and does not apply.

    I think he's butthurt because Sberbank is cut from SWIFT and his 4 mil shares will be worthless.

    On another note.....Aeroflop is announcing rationing of toilet paper....wow, it's worse than I thought if that's the case....they can use rubles....it's worth about as much.

    doesn't apply no non-Americans - why should Figi have to pay to care for it anyways? it's a 300 million dollar super yacht, the owner should cover all the costs

    Your describing yourself again .. trying to project your failings and hypocrisy onto others. Where did the post claim it was Russia's right to go out and rape .. answere -- never happened .. a fantasy you made up because you arguments are such a big fail.

    You are the one who ignores rape, enslavement, murder of neighbors .. while crying bloody murder over Ukraine.

    The Prophet Told you .. Do as I say - not as I do -- gonna come back to bite .. and you cried NO NO NO .. Then when prophecy came true .. again you cry NO NO NO . and try to blame others for the crying.

    Just tellin ya wat it is mon .. don't be pinning that hypocritical two face Screwface mumbo jumbo on to others.

    Because what is happening right now is very different to what the United States (we, assuming you live here) have done in the past. Addressing your asinine comment that "it's ok when we do it"

    Russia is invading to take land from a neighboring sovereign nation. They are not planning on leaving or giving it back. It's not an occupation.

    Ukraine is first step only....I think Dwarfstan spoke the truth for a change.....recently on PTG 350th birthday.....that this "invasion" was nothing about Nazis.....it's an imperial conquest.

    Moldova,Belarus,Poland,Baltics,Finland are all on his hitlist




    ...which he considers basically "Russian territory".

    What is happening now is not very different .. You cry "Asinine comment" but this is a reflection of yourself in the mirror.

    How is Nato invading to take land from a neighboring sovereign nation . "Very different" from Russia invading to take land from a sovereign nation"

    and regardless of the answer to above question .. it is moronic to think "do as we say - not as we do" would apply singularly to this situation. "If it doesn't apply here .. it doesn't apply" -- Piracy is the topic of the Thread .. the main example relating to piracy you have completely ignored . . yet cry "asinine"

    Is it not the logical failure on your part .. the asinine commentary going on here ?

    How is condemning piracy .. asinine ? saying that if one side breaks the rules .. soon the other side will be breaking them.

    What is both asinine and idiotic .. is thinking that "Do as we say - Not as We Do" foreign policy will not come back to bite .. thinking that other nations will not eventually "Do as we Do" and there are countless examples.

    What is ansine and idiotic .. is coming up with some example that doesn't fit nor make any sense .. and crying that commentary on "Do as we say" is asinine on that basis.

    So what if the Russia example doesn't fit .. there are other examples .. such as those provided ... that do. Is it not then moronic and asinine to claim that the Russian example negates other examples that do ?

    What is further asinine and moronic .. is that the Russia example does fit .. so your premise false right off the get go. after which you double down on false logic . crying asinine .. .

    Nato has annexed land - but how is it that you do not understand that it matters not .. to your "asinine" claim . and that it is your statements that have turned out to be asinine and simple nonsense. Do we need to go through this step by step .. kindergarten style for the light to turn on ?

    Did you not know that the US/NATO annexed land from a sovereign nation in the late 1990's .. or is this an inability to understand what "annexing land from a sovereign nation" means ?

    You have to apply to gain membership to Nato. Nato doesn't come in and "take" land. It moves in once a sovereign nation's application is accepted.
