    Both Marxists and Fascists want the same thing - centralized power. Both are the opposite of democracy and both are destructive.

    A bit of history. Everything has to be taken in the context of the times. The Bolshevik atrocities were fresh in people's minds as millions of Russians ran out to escape the horrors. In Russia there was continuous warfare while priests and nobility were being killed en masse and their possessions stolen. Tens of thousands of churches were being burned, and many with people still inside. It was the biggest persecution and killings of Christians since the first hundred years of Christianity.

    Because of this, the rise of communism in Europe scared the wits out of the nobility, the middle class and the Church, and since communism was also an internationalist system and didn't believe in nations, nationalist parties rose up in countries to oppose it.

    Since every nation had its own Church the fascists identified with it, even though 'ethnophilitism' (nationalism) is pagan and anti Christian and therefore a sin.

    The term far right is simply the word adopted by liberals to portray Republicans as racists. Far right is nothing morecthan a smear tactic.

    Why again? Because if leftists had to run on policy they'd lose every time because the philosophy of their thinking had already been proven wrong by history.

    And this is a repeated event through history.
    When it becomes apparent that leftists are going to take over 1, rich people leave if they can. 2 those who don't leave are imporisoned and or murdered 3. Leftists only skills are related to revolution so incompetence takes over everything. 4 people starve to death because of incompetence 5. Quality of labor falls off because there us no motivation. 6. Economy crashed.

    Every single time!!!!!!

    wrong, liberals think Trump is a threat to world peace in the world, much different then thinking American is a threat to world peace in the world

    we also thinks Bush's two 10+ year wars was a threat to world peace, extremely over-reacting to a situation is not a good option, it weakens us, though some on the right want America to be weak

    yes, we over-reacted via our two 10+ year wars

    no one is saying we should not of responded with a aerial attack, to send a message to keep their people in line, what we are saying is two 10+ year wars was extremely over-reacting to the situation and actually hurt us more then the attack

    We all agree but a nuclear Iran is far far worse. That said i would not be in favor of a prolonged conflict in any event.
    All we need to do is make their airspace safe for our fighter's and destroy their nuclear capability. No need to invade them at all just castrate their military and contain them.

    I agree, that is why many were upset when Trump broke America word on the Iran deal... if he thought we needed to add to it.. fine, but there was no reason to start from scratch

    This plan is not at all, logical, since Iran is supported by BRICs nations.

    Well i think the agreement was I'll concieved but we didn't need to get out of it. Iran just needs to know that they ain't ever getting nukes period. Essentially trying to attain nukes by Iran is an act of war.

    Nothing wrong with supporting the people of Hong Kong who have avoided the purges and evils of communism. In the past a power has turned over territory or cities to their opponent only to have the local population exterminated. At least now governments try to have some assurances that the people are safe. In the case of Hong Kong, they were giving assurances of relatively self rule and they don't like it when China tries to take control.

    At the end of the day, it's THEIR internal domestic thing.
    It's not like the opinion of Russia on the subject how the US should be governed counts.

    Doesn't stop you from criticizing internal domestic policies of countries you disagree with.

    I caught you in your hypocrisy and you dodge by saying it was a trap. :eyepopping: I'm a pretty good judge of sarcasm and I don't detect any here.
