I respect the Russian people. I have no respect for the oligarchs and the FSB authoritarians that run the Russian government.

And I respect Americans. I am one, but I'm a troll, a conspiracist, a fascist because I see our government, our foreign policy as corrupt and anything but patriotic. Right?

It's odd that people who stand up against their government in other parts of the world are patriots? Freedom fighters?

Why does our govt see fit to have a say or hand in all global politics? When will people see that its not to spread democracy....anything but?!

If Russia or China were staging naval exercises in the Gulf of Mexico or deploying troops to Cuba or Nova Scotia that would be one thing, but it's just the opposite. Look who is pressuring who and their allies....it's simple math..

Americans don't give a damn about this crisis. Nor do they give a damn about Russia.

We wouldn't even notice it in order to be able to jump for joy in the first place.

My advice, in this case, is for Russia to actually seek normal relations with its neighbors.

My god, even the US and Cuba are now getting along.

Amazing what diplomacy can achieve.

Good that you took an honest look into the mirror.

Depends on the government and the stand taken.

"All" is an overstatement. But to the extent that America is involved abroad, it's because we're a superpower, and someone has to try to maintain order.

People, of course, can take issue with applications of this power. We never have, and never will get everything right.

But continually citing Kremlin talking points, as you do, under the guise of improving our democracy, is ludicrous.

I do take an honest look at everything! I don't blindly follow like some...

Did it? Well close enough to loom over campus. And the issue still stands: to what extent should we have religious symbolism at public campuses.

Or really anyone, for that matter. Why make a giant graven image?
