I've wondered what happened to CSpindizzy. Weird how he just vanished. Don't know of a way to contact him outside of this thread.

He's busy getting the Canadian revolt ready to go.

Is it?

Not discounting the police issues, but I think from a global perspective what's happening in Eastern Europe is a bigger story.

How many Americans have died in Ukraine?

I don't disagree with you, which is the reason why I post much more here than I do in threads like Ferguson or Baltimore, but, for the majority of Americans, this is a much bigger issue.

Plus, I'm not a black man.

Right or wrong (and I say rightfully so), it's just a bigger issue for most Americans than what's happening in Ukraine.

He's done this before. If you will recall, in the spring/summer of 2014 (I think it was), he was here and let loose with a barrage of posts.

Then disappeared again.

He came back in, what was it, December/January? Maybe even some of February?

He does this.

He comes in here when he needs some relaxing and goes back out when he needs some de-laxing, times when he needs to do the work of the American CIA/NSA establishment.

He's a mysterious character, that guy.

I can only hope he's taking down the Putin regime as we speak.

We are very much a NIMBY nation as far as our concerns go. I hate that we are, but at some point we have to fix our own problems otherwise it won't matter what we think about country so and so invading somebody else; we won't be able to do anything about it. I just think that it will be a bigger shock to the world if we pull out of geo-political issues than an internal crisis is to the US.

The average American citizen is not involved, because s/he doesn't have to be. We're the most exceptional (and I don't mind using that term) great power in history and probably for all time. We're so secure, we just don't have to be concerned about international politics, as far as the average American is concerned (whether consciously or unconciously).

And yes, you are right about us pulling out of world affairs. There are many (including some on this site) rooting for us to go into another great recession or even depression and to pull out of international affairs.

Let me tell you something. And you seem like you have good enough sense to know this. When that happens, the world is going to wish we were still being our typical obnoxious American selves. We return to the pre-WWI/WWII era then. Since that worked out so well, what should we expect of a return to that system?

Exactly.

Louder, you get these geopolitics. I know you're younger than me. How old are you exactly? Hope for the future, which is what I've said numerous times on here.

25. I play a lot of video games which involve conquering the world. It pissed my parents off but meant i never had to study for history and could still get straight A's. but dont hope for humanity on my account most of my friends couldn't point out Ukraine on a map. probably couldn't name/draw a map of the US even.

also the average american isnt affected by what is going on in Baltimore.

CSpin gave us some hints before he left. Based on recent events, I'd say he decided to settle down in Maryland.

Tell me about Montgomery Co. I lived in Alexandria years back and will probably move back up to the DC area this year. I've heard a lot about the area but the more perspectives the better. Positives? Negatives? Income tax rates look to be the same in MD or VA.

I can neither confirm nor deny anything you just said. Just getting closer to the HQ. I spend too much time in a plane as it is. Flying from GA to DC can be eliminated. More time freed up to plot and scheme.

When did it ever?



What about before WW2?



And you think this alternative media (i.e., Russian) is not propaganda?
Click to expand...

I've read MSM as much as alternative media, if not more. So I'm interpreting you're admitting that the US uses propaganda, right?!

If you are aware it's propaganda and ignore alternative outlets because they're labeled propaganda, from propagandist?? That makes no sense..

But, the common theme amongst our media is we immediately point the finger at Russia for all disruptions in that part of the world with no or little proof. In all my years I've learned that the one who points blame first, is usually doing so to deflect negative attention away from themselves.

Finally admitting Russia, Ras, and you are to blame, are you?

Well, better late than never.

I tend to think responses like what I'm about to make are lame, but...

If you have a problem with recognizing the rights of women, homosexuals, the disabled, religious minorities, individual speech/press, etc., then get your sorry ass out of this country.

As I've said before, there's no room for neo-Nazis (real ones; not the fake ones like Russians are always screaming about) here.

Lame, but we'll written and to the point. ;o)

We now have live coverage of the investigation on how one civilian died. A sad outcome, no doubt, but is it really a global news story? Hundreds of people died when a ferry sunk and how much TV did that get?

"We will probably never know the true scale of the rapes. Soviet military tribunals and other sources remain classified. The Russian parliament recently passed a law which says that anyone who denigrates Russia's record in World War Two could face fines and up to five years in prison."

Such a wonderful place to live. That place is bursting with freedom. Those American fascists...
