Stupid shit in Medellin

Colombia now has a socialist president like Venezuela. Is the US now going to sanction Colombia? What's going to happen to the economy of Colombia?

Seriously? You think a leftist like Petro who believes in alleviating poverty and corruption in Colombia is "like" a military propped up dictator who believes in lining his own pockets and the rest of the population of Venezuela be damned. I don't think they are even remotely similar.

Actually he doesn't take office until August. For now Colombia still has Duque as its president. And no not like in Venezuela, the situation there is quite different. Petro is more like a Bernie Sanders than a Maduro. Hopefully the exchange rate will go to 4500 now. We will see what happens in the coming months.

The election was close but yeah, Petro declared the winner. Antioquia, where we are in Medellin, the other guy won by a comfortable margin so maybe we will be a little bit more of a conservative political "enclave" here, I dunno. What I know about Colombian politics wouldn't fill a thimble. But this is historical for Petro being Colombia's first leftist president and a former urban guerrilla rebel. Of course, they used to say the guy who was the former president was just a mouth piece for the cartel, but who knows. I think there will be more than ripples from this all the way back to the US of A.

Dude, do you really want to knock on kids who have been murdered at gun point by mentally ill sociopaths? Is that really who you want to be? I am guessing you're an Alex Jones fan?

Pedro is across a number of the free for all threads, various countries, mainly trolling Americans and pitching Russian propaganda, or whatever he thinks will get a reaction. These threads solved a problem for the admins as they keep the review threads clear. Though at the same time they have made a home for basement weirdos that don't monger and will never seen Medellin.

Argentina was the 7th richest country in the world in the 1920's. 10th before WWI so they improved with neutrality. They're a great example because it was when they abandoned neutrality, their situation got demonstrably worse.

Appearances can be deceiving. I chased down a purse snatcher in Quito. In Buenos Aires a kid ripped a gold chain off a woman's neck and I chased him too but no one would help. Neither woman was old, sorry. I will admit I missed my chance with the old lady. Also Buenos Aires. Late at night, walking home drunk. Some guy comes flying around the corner with something in his arms and I was like what's wrong with THIS picture? But took too long to process that it was a purse and by then he was past me. He didn't hurt her, though. I got her calmed down and we called the cops, who were useless.

Not neutral when it comes to women getting robbed. No no. But you should read and study more before you pontificate because you don't know shit. Switzerland controls the world's finances. Oh uh huh. The Yew Ess is watching innocent people getting shot and looking the other way.

Oh and I body slammed a shoplifter running out of a liquor store in the US. Don't look the other way on that shit either.

I really don't feel like having these pointless arguments, but I will oblige you one more time sir. Argentina remained neutral for WW1 and WW2. They are now considered to be an economically poor nation today, much like the rest of most of Latin America who also remained Neutral for WW1 and WW2, both wars of which defined much of the world for the rest of the 20th century. The United States did however decide to commit to the war effort in both wars and it had numerous positive benefits for our society, especially in the fields of innovative technology, factory production, and trade relations with foreign nations which greatly strengthened America's economy. There were without a doubt intangible benefits to fighting a noble war and parlaying the spoils of war into a nation of global prestige and influence. These same benefits led to a country which other nations could reliably conduct business and trade with and be confident that their investments would produce positive returns. Of course not every aspect of a war like WW2 is positive, but I do believe the positive benefits outweigh the policy of Neutrality if your nation has the means to effectively participate. Latin America most likely did not have the means to effectively participate in a foreign war due to its own internal struggles and political instability. The world, for a time, used to appreciated the national sacrifice made by countries like the USA and the UK for fighting off truly evil regimes like Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. If Germany and Japan had been victorius, how long do you give them before they would come for the land, wealth, and man-power of Latin America? It's not implausible to speculate. History would tell us not long at all. So again I will state, In my most humble opinion, Neutrality is a Luxury the nations of the world cannot afford just yet, and that is quite unfortunate.

Here is some useful advice if you going to contribute an intellectual opinion publicly. You are clearly using vocabulary which is beyond your comprehension. You selection and placement of the term "pontificate" is utilized poorly. If you are going to choose an advanced term as such, do not start your sentence with the word "But". It displays poor writing skills and makes you seem uneducated. Readers will be likely to dismiss your posts. It remind me of when Mike Tyson would use big words he had heard to intimate his opponents, but he didn't really understand what the words mean't or when it was really appropriate to use them.

So you claim you are a heroic individual who stands up for those being attacked or robbed violently. Hmmm, after reading your post, it just seems like a load of bullshit to me. A real man from the street who has had to actually physically apprehend a criminal on numerous occasions probably has high enough self esteem to not describe in detail every altercation he has ever been in. He would probably just state the fact that he does not condone certain types of criminal behavior which hurts innocent people. You clearly took a hit to your ego when I stated you're the type of guy to let women get mugged and look the other way based off your opinion of Neutrality because you are going overboard defending yourself. You are even describing the moves you are using to take a shoplifter, "bodyslam" LOL. I call bullshit and you come off as a very fake and insecure individual based off your writing. But what do I know, I am just some asshole on a sex-mongering forum, so don't get too bent out of shape over this nonsense. I certainly won't.

You must be after some kind of record for contradicting yourself so many times. Americans should stay within their own borders. Still plenty of schools to shoot up. Anyway with all those missiles you are sending into Ukraine which are now for sale on the dark web, expect the Great Leap Forward to go ahead by leaps and bounds.

I'll be taking a shower soon. But unlike Pershing, I won't get fools to charge American machine gunners just before an Armistice for it. America: it has the dregs of the world, including its own dregs.

Just point out one time I contradicted myself. That's all. Just once.

People should be allowed to immigrate. It should just be regulated effectively to benefit all parties involved. It should also be done legally and the citizens of the country should be allowed to limit the number of migrants as they see fit. Pretty simple. Oh yea, and don't allow fentanyl peddling drug dealers and human traffickers to freely cross your borders as well. That's probably not the best thing for most communities.

Dude, do you really want to knock on kids who have been murdered at gun point by mentally ill sociopaths? Is that really who you want to be? I am guessing you're an Alex Jones fan?

You should see the list on Winston Churchill. You wouldn't believe it. Just as bad as Hitler.

LOL, I think the vast majority of people would disagree with that statement. Haha, who is worse: Trump or Hitler? I would love to hear the answers to that one hahahaha.

[JustTK]

Yeah let's go through history and judge people by their worst moments and do our best to destroy the legacies of the people who made the most contributions. That will certainly work out well for society LOL.

Covid is not in the news every day, no one cares.
And there were billions in wasted vaccine to boot, but no one cares about that either.
Like the defense industries got their money, Pfizer and Moderna got theirs. I am not sure these vaccines will even be offered / available after the moratorium on lawsuits is lifted. They are worthless now and are dangerous to boot.

Yes, CV has dropped out of the news almost entirely. How convenient! I only ever hear occasional news on The Hill and a couple of specialists channels. It's almost as if they don't want to talk about it anymore bcos it's kind of an embarrassment and the Ukraine war is a very convenient distraction. Vaxs funded and risks taken by the public, profits shared amongst the oligarchs / establishment. Get your fix of capitalism and democracy right here folks, step on up!

Argentina is poor as fuck bro. Pick a better example.

I was reading the other day that it is even worse if you are boosted.

What about Switzerland? Neutrality works well for them. And Argentina rose to be the seventh largest economy in the world following WWI by remaining neutral. Argentina was the first country to successfully export beef overseas using refrigerated shipping (1879) and the desire to ship beef (grain too) to both sides of combatants featured heavily in their decision to remain neutral, despite the historic ties with the British.

But you were probably born a jingo. Often jingoes are born and not made.

And you were probably born a garfok that likes to suck snagglies LOL.

Argentina is poor as fuck bro. Pick a better example.

Switzerland controls the world's finances, that's their get out of jail free card. Don't expect other nations to get such treatment. Even Sweden, a historically neutral nation has just joined NATO and decided not to sit on the sidelines while true evil threatens innocent people. Sometimes a shepherd must fend off the wolves.

There is an article for you. Pershing was a prize kunt. No more to say on it.

Dar Papaya- in English, it basically means if you act like an asshole and let people take advantage of you, they will. It's human nature.

Mexico and Latin America love to "Dar Papaya" for other countries. Let's pull our pants down, bend over, and lube our asses up. Then when America comes in and fucks us up our taco shitting asses, we'll cry rape and pull the victim card for the next 200 fucking years and this will be our excuse to never get our fucking shit together. In the 1800's, the quality of life sucked for even the richest countries. If you were not constantly working to secure and maintain your territory, train a functional and effective military, constantly seeking out diplomatic solutions and treaties to keep peace and commerce with other countries, work to exact and utilize your nation's natural resources as well as provide the infrastructure, education, and training for your workforce- then guess what- another country is going to come along and take your shit. All the countries of the world knew the rules of the game during this time period. The government of Mexico and Latin America were negligent and their people paid the price for it unfortunately. It's sad what happened and I would never condone the actions of the USA for their policies regarding the Mexican-American War, but I will also not vilify them and refuse to acknowledge the reality of the time period.

Is it fair for nations not to pull their weight and allow population booms in their countries when they don't have the infrastructure, education system, food, water, and economy to support their population which then places an unfair burden on the nations who are fulling its' obligations to society and the global population?

Where I come from, if you act like an asshole- expect to be treated like one. If you want respect- you must give it and earn it. If you come into another man's home- do not bite the hand that feeds you. I used to think those morals were universal, but sadly I am realizing they are not.
