    Oh yes, I forgot about our propaganda networks.

    Crimea was a legal, democratic, secular state before being invaded by Ukrainian forces in 1995. After the 2014 coup in Kiev, the Russians of Crimea redeclared independence and voted to join with their mother country as protection from the junta in Kiev.

    No, and it is also misogynistic. I don't know what happened to make you that way.

    The only thing I'm interested in is "truth" and when truth is not apparent then "most likely scenario". You ask Why and I ask Why not, because there are plenty of reasons why. You are victimized by Soros propaganda

    misogynistic sexist, racist etc those words were invented to cover dark affairs of the shadow government.

    We use to be a nation of "Citizen Soldiers."

    Maybe we still are but the citizen soldier only wants to fight the big wars.

    Before WW ll America had its small military made up of professionals adventures who liked kicking ass and breaking bones. They were known as U.S. Marines. It was the only branch of the U.S. military before 1947 that required being an U.S. citizen.

    George S. Patton in his "Patton Papers" vol. 1 mentions the Marine Corps around 1910 or so being America's elite fighting force.

    Gen."Black Jack" John Pershing referred to the 'worlds most deadliest weapon being a U.S. Marine and his rifle.'

    Before WW ll America had fought well over a hundred wars most of them being small wars of punitive actions.
    They were fought by U.S. Marines.

    America's big wars ( Mexican-American War, American Civil War, Spanish American War, WW l, WW ll, Korean War and the Vietnam War) were fought by American citizen soldiers.

    Durandel supports Soros' liberal one world order. but most people are deceived and not fully aware of what they're supporting.

    Just to warn you. A large deposit of Rare Earth elements have been found in S. Africa, something that China has been supplying the US with - and holds over our heads. Expect some kind of reaction from Washington because of it.

    China controls 90% of rare earths worldwide. There's only one site in the US for rare earth mining and China is invested in that, too.

    That's why this trade war is so stupid. At any time China could just say, "NO RARE EARTHS FOR YOU !!!!" .... and we'd be screwed.

    I think this is why so many of our vets are committing suicide. The minute boys turn 18, they are chased after by the recruiting officers with promises of a free education afterwards so they won't have to take out a loan or burden their parents. Also that they'll be fighting terrorists and doing a service to their country and the world.

    What they find though is that instead of killing terrorists, our country supports them for some obscure political agenda and instead of being the 'good guys' who are there to sacrifice themselves for the common good, they are looked on as evil incarnate by half the world.

    I read that it's one of the reasons Trump wanted to buy Greenland. Now though that Rare Earth's have been found in S. Africa, who knows what Washington will do? Will they push for a regime change to get them out of BRICS? Who knows?

    Your vision is that Trump and russian state (?) media are 'bad'. But in fact russian media reacted to Trump's words, just because it is a good clickbaiting piece of news in Russia. And Trump is making his game around the interests of americans. At the moment US really needs Greenland to take more territory of the Arctic in the future. As for Putin he can be used to earn some political points for coming elections and solve some of the world problems that needs russian participation. Once it is done and Trump decides to play against Russia Putin will turn to 'nasty' and after Danish capitulation Danish PM would become 'OK'.

    Black Jack Pershing was the CO of the troops that fired on the old Brown Shoe Army troops, US Citizens all, wasn't he?

    Citizen soldiers are happy to defend their country. Not so much are they happy to shoot up innocents for US corporations. Think Smedley Butler USMC....
