That's what I said, constantly skips to another (stupid) subject when proven wrong, and never checks his sources, which are most of the time utter crap like Facebook and Telegram.

Much better to have covid twice than get the vaccine. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-04569-5 "strong evidence for brain-related abnormalities in COVID-19", "greater reduction in grey matter thickness and tissue", "greater changes in markers of tissue damage", "greater reduction in global brain size".

In my 50's, I m pretty sure I got when coming back from Sharks on mid March 2020 , with big pain in legs when no sport except fucking German Tabea for her first room at Sharks and sweating at night, when I would have preferred no vaccine, if no pass to be free, when I worry about my heart on intense violent efforts for hours under high heat, when I finished strong on my last Summer tour. Just my point of view about my health when I visited so many times brothels without vaccine.

The guy who discovered HIV was Luc Montagnier, he died recently and in his last years he became a conspiracy freak (like you). Well at least he did something good when he was younger.

Your mommy doesn't love you. That's why you need attention by posting deliberately stupid shit meant to get attention. Perhaps the same for Poon.

I was not aware that mommy love was what you define your life by. But apparently so.

The aids rumor I heard was that after 3 jabs plus, there is an increased chance of getting an autoimmune disease either causing aids, or being aids. It was just a rumor I heard since I didn't read too much into it. From the same guy who first discovered aids I think. Thought I should ask here first.

........But EU is different. That's what the Ukrainian people want to join.

That's what caused the Maidan uprising which began on 21 November 2013. The protests were sparked by the Ukrainian government's decision not to sign the European Union–Ukraine Association Agreement. Back then the legitimate government of president Viktor Yanukovych was overthrown with help from the west.

First-off, I am anti-war, so I am against the Russian invasion. In an ideal world, this would have been solved via diplomacy or other means. Russian's security grievances are valid as is Ukraine's sovereignty. Smaller countries are allowed to be sovereign as long as they are aligned strategically with regional powers. In the early 1960's, USA was fine with Cuba being sovereign, but it wanted Castro out, and replaced with a more-US friendly leader, hence their support for the failed US-funded, CIA-backed Bay of Pigs invasion.

If Canada or Mexico suddenly decided to cozy up to Beijing, and Chinese military were stationed in North America, it would not be tolerated. What Canada or Mexico wants then becomes invalid if it conflicts with USA's security interests. And the USA would be justified in punishing Canada or Mexico, whether that be through acts of subversion, economic sanctions, or even militarily.

When USSR got too close to USA, we almost had WW III. JFK began with a naval blockade, but there were plans to escalate further, if a peaceful resolution with Khrushchev could not be found.

For sure, paranoiac small dick dictator Putin had really to be scared by very poor Ukraine, or maybe he wants black sea since so long time, or dream when he was young and could play KGB until the wall. Berlin have to worry, I don't know in each part is Artemis? If East, maybe beautiful Russian girls soon.

Russian's security grievances are valid as is Ukraine's sovereignty.

Are they though? I don't think the west has actively promoted war with Russia since it was officially Soviet, for nuclear deterrence if for no other reason. The NATO buildup into Baltic and Balkan countries while displeasing to Russia and even a detriment to Russian global prestige has come with very little military threat, mostly legitimately defensive positions focused on missile defense unless I'm mistaken. I'm no military expert for sure.

In the end, I don't think security was the active threat to Russia unless you're speaking of economic security or security to their sphere of influence.

Regarding Cuba, well let's just say that America's military interferences in the name of defending "freedom" and "democracy" is not without fault either.

Meanwhile, the Chinese are laughing literally to the bank. There's a lot of terrible criticisms that can be said about the CCP methods in building up their national strength but finding fault in their international relations policies is quite harder. Their spheres of influence reaching from Africa, across the countries of the Indian Ocean, and now pushing into South America was constructed methodically and purely through economic methods.

Military operations are so 20th century and cliched out.

There is a perspective which paints the West as breaking the promise of not expanding NATO. Baltic-NATO is the representation of Western betrayal to Russia. In the end, does not justify Putin's Fuckery.

On September 13, Kennedy wrote: "If at any time the Communist build-up in Cuba were to endanger or interfere with our security in any way . . . or if Cuba should ever . . . become an offensive military base of significant capacity for the Soviet Union, then this country will do whatever must be done to protect its own security and that of its allies."

In 1962, the Soviet Union had encroached on the U.S. government’s self-defined sphere of influence by installing medium-range nuclear missiles in Cuba, a nation only 90 miles from U.S. shores. The Cuban government had requested the missiles as a deterrent to a U.S. invasion — an invasion that seemed quite possible given the long history of U.S. intervention in Cuban affairs, as well as the 1961 U.S.-sponsored Bay of Pigs invasion.

The Soviet government was amenable to the request because it wanted to reassure its new Cuban ally of its protection. It also felt that missile deployment would even the nuclear balance, for the U.S. government already had deployed nuclear missiles in Turkey, on Russia’s border.

From the U.S. government’s standpoint, the fact the Cuban government had the right to make its own security decisions and that the Soviet government was simply copying U.S. policy in Turkey was of much less significance than its assumption that there could be no compromise when it came to the traditional U.S. sphere of influence in the Caribbean and Latin America.

Thus, President John F. Kennedy ordered a U.S. naval blockade — which he called a “quarantine” — around Cuba, and stated that he would not permit the presence of nuclear missiles on the island. To secure the missile removal, he announced, he would not “shrink” from “worldwide nuclear war.”

Eventually, the intense crisis was resolved. Kennedy and Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev agreed the U.S.S.R. would remove the missiles from Cuba, while Kennedy pledged not to invade Cuba and to remove the U.S. missiles from Turkey.

Instead of stationing missiles on the borders of both nations, they simply got rid of them. Instead of warring over the status of Cuba, the U.S. government gave up any idea of invasion.

At the time, the U.S. invoked the Monroe Doctrine, first laid out in 1823 and an assertion of American dominance in the Western Hemisphere. U.S. politicians said it gave them a free hand to prevent foreign influence in the Americas.

Although Cuban leader Fidel Castro would have liked it, Cuba was never allowed to join the Warsaw Pact — the Soviet equivalent of NATO. The Soviet Union was aware that it would have been extremely provocative to allow Cuba to do so.

The Monroe Doctrine has persisted long after the Cuban Missile Crisis, and was reflected in the U.S. invasions of Grenada and Panama in 1983 and 1989 respectively. The U.S. has never formally renounced the Monroe Doctrine, and it remains a part of the American political toolbox when required.

Oh there is no doubt in my mind that the logic behind opening the NATO door to Ukraine is beyond stupid. Sweden and Finland have managed well outside of NATO. And so could Ukraine.

So by not closing the nato door to Ukraine, the west certainly does have some blame.

But EU is different. That's what the Ukrainian people want to join.

While not sanctioned, the Bush administration did bully France, when it did not go along with the Iraq invasion.

While Russia deserves primary blame for the invasion, most western media sources will try to pin 100 percent of the blame on Russia. As most things go, there is more nuance. Russophobia and anti-Russian sentiment is at an all-time high, so my fear is that jingoism and nationalism will lead to further warmongering and escalation or protraction of the ongoing human suffering in Ukraine. Anybody who is the least bit sympathetic of Russia or even slightly critical of the US-led western alliance is branded a traitor. I am surprised that this opinion piece in the Guardiani was allowed to be published. For the current tragedy in Ukraine, the author attempts to shift a small portion of the blame to the US-led NATO expansion.

Why do I get the feeling that's no longer the case? After 4 years of Trump pulling away and Biden not really doing anything to undo the Trump stance, it feels more like France and UK have stepped into leadership roles. Still, dumb Nord.

While not sanctioned, the Bush administration did bully France, when it did not go along with the Iraq invasion.

When President Bush began looking for ways around a U.N.-sanctioned military action, Chirac warned him: "Don't go it alone." But President Bush did, launching a U.S.-led but not U.N.-sanctioned invasion of Iraq on March 19, 2003.

Just a month later, U.S. officials were drawing up ways to punish France for getting in Washington's way. Measures included trying to exclude France from discussions on how to handle Iraq in the aftermath of the invasion, and not awarding reconstruction contracts to French companies.

By May, Chirac had had enough. Convinced France was the victim of an "organized campaign of disinformation" from within the Bush administration, the government asked its ambassador to the U.S. to write to President Bush to ask him to set the record straight on accusations in the American media coming from "official sources."

The clash soured Franco-American relations for the next several years, but it increased Chirac's profile at home as the French praised him for standing up to what were seen as bullying tactics from Washington.

The west’s new cold war with Russia has turned hot. Vladimir Putin bears primary responsibility for this latest development, but Nato’s arrogant, tone‐​deaf policy toward Russia over the past quarter‐​century deserves a large share as well. Analysts committed to a US foreign policy of realism and restraint have warned for more than a quarter‐​century that continuing to expand the most powerful military alliance in history toward another major power would not end well. The war in Ukraine provides definitive confirmation that it did not.

Western (especially US) leaders continued to blow through red warning light after a red warning light, however. The Obama administration’s shockingly arrogant meddling in Ukraine’s internal political affairs in 2013 and 2014 to help demonstrators overthrow Ukraine’s elected, pro‐​Russia president was the single most brazen provocation, and it caused tensions to spike. Moscow immediately responded by seizing and annexing Crimea, and a new cold war was underway with a vengeance.

No I didn't. It's 'Gomorrhe' in French and 'gomorrah' in English but since talking to you is like talking to a 8 yo brat overprotected by his alcoholic mommy, I think we're done.

Like Brazil celebrating their 1 goal by Oscar during their humble 7-1 defeat at home. Only for him to soon afterwards move to China and ruin his career.
