You call Ukraine non-peaceful, you call it ultra-nationalistic.
How is it related to the question of ultra-nationalism being endemic in Ukraine? Or perhaps you forgot the famous: "Who's not jumping is a moscal"? Or maybe "knife all moscals"? Both happened long before the Russian invasion.
Yeah, there's no nationalism in Ukraine. Not at all. No whiteboards proclaiming that "SS protected Ukrainian independence" and no children in schools screaming that they hate Russians. Iryna Farion doesn't exist. Everything is perfect!
Yet it's not Ukraine that invaded Russia, it's Russia that invaded Ukraine. It's not Ukraine that supports the far-right, on the contrary, they got a pathetic few % in the elections, whilst in Russia you have 10s of thousands of far right ultra nationalists celebrating for a day.
How many ultra-nazis are in the Russian parliament? Hint: the answer is "zero".
Yes, the plan drafted by him years earlier
Not _drafted_, but agreed with Iraq government. Or do you want the US to violate its foreign treaties?
Hah! You lie, but that's a good example, thank you! USSR invaded Afghanistain [wikipedia.org] in 1979, when Jimmy Carter was is office — another example of a weak "it is all America's fault" excuse for a President. But even he imposed sanctions against USSR. And the whole world boycotted the 1980 Moscow Olympics.
And then Reagan lifted most of the sanctions by 1984 (after Brezhnev's death and the right noises in Poland about democracy). See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1... , http://www.csmonitor.com/1984/... and so on.
Yes, which is an embarrassment for Obama.
Moving goalposts, are we? I did say that Obama is a mainstream Republican by his actions, so naturally he expanded the policies of his predecessors.
On top of that you got Reagan's reaction to USSR's invasion exactly backwards, which demonstrates the level of ignorance so deep, I'm unlikely to respond again...
When the facts contradict your ideology, you damn the facts.
Nonsense. You have no leg to stand on in this argument — the extrajudicial killing of bin Laden (ordered by Obama) defeats your point by itself
Don't worry, Republicans _love_ extra-judicial killings. As witnessed by their support of Bush's war and Israel.
Oh, no you don't... You keep him. A Republican would not have withdrawn all troops from Iraq
Bush drafted the pullout plan...
A Republican [politifact.com] would not have encouraged Putin to invade Ukraine by lifting all sanctions [washingtonpost.com] imposed over a similar invasion into Georgia.
You mean, like Reagan did with the USSR and Afghanistan invasion?
A Republican would've continued to detain terrorist suspects [theguardian.com] — in Guantanamo or elsewhere — rather then order extrajudicial killings [commondreams.org] — most infamously one of Osama bin Laden [theatlantic.com] himself.
1) Gitmo is still open. 2) Drone strikes were started by Bush.
No, Obama is an Illiberal Democrat through and through. But such people — yourself included — are famous for inability to recognize each other — so far are their deeds from their proclaimed ideals.
So far you've listed exactly the things that Republicans do.
So don't be fooled. Corporatists are NOT Libertarians. If they claim they are, show them where the Libertarian philosophy actually supports free competitive markets, not corporatism. They are not the same things.
They are very demonstrably the very same thing. That's why Sherman Antitrust Act has been enacted loooong time ago.
