Can you explain this whole "stealing oil" when they barely produce any?
Is the US also stealing their Penguins and Polar Bears?
I had to laugh at that.
You can't argue facts with those guys.
They are but clowns. Meaningless accusations are their makeup. I have a couple that I can still see, but only a couple.

He also said we were stealing Syria's grain. The US exports grain to the world. The minute amounts of grain Syria produces couldn't be of interest to us.
i may have asked before but dont remember the answer .. why is Ukraine not bombing Moscow ?
I don't believe Ukraine has the tools to bomb Moscow. Their air force is pretty nonexistent, and they don't have long-range missiles that can carry that far. They have asked for them, but NATO has declined so as to not escalate the conflict.
Maybe it's time to rethink that policy. I've said it before - if Ukraine had nukes none of this would be happening.
That's a blunt lie, just like it was with Kosovo, Iraq, Libya etc.
The US is simply stealing oil and grain from Syria.
Whenever the West talks about human rights in another country, you know it is because they want to invade, cause a civil war, and/or steal its resources. It's always the same modus operandi. Human rights etc. have long become a lie-based weapon and business.

I have updated by status noting the US taking all of Syrians native Penguin population...which we then keep well oiled and grain fed.
It was the perfect plan, and I would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for that pesky poster.
Next up, I'm going to hijack the Icelandic Lemon crop and make shoes of their crocodiles.
The prevailing wisdom (or at least what I've read) is the attack on Khe Sanh was a diversion designed to draw US troops away from cities.
However, the author of the book says that wasn't true. The North's elite divisions had been sent to Khe Sanh to launch a ground assault.
However, their military leadership completely underestimated the US airpower and the North lost a staggering number of solders.
The whole Tet offensive was a disastrous military defeat for the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong. The cream of the Viet Cong was basically wiped out.
But it was a propaganda victory. That was when US support for the war started dragging. 4 years later, we left and 3 years after, the South Vietnamese army collapsed.
The Russians have already faced their Tet offensive, except it was a military defeat for them. As with us in Vietnam and the Russians and us in Afghanistan, the Russians will get tired of the war, if they don't get beaten first, as the French were in Vietnam. Controlling a large populous country with significant opposition is a very, very high cost proposition.
The war would still be going on whether we helped them or not. They drove them back from Kiev before massive western aid came in.
Its Putin's decision that has created this and only Putin or a putsch in Moscow or a Ukrainian victory can end this.
I disagreed, Ukraine forces knew that aid was coming so they had good morale. They were simply using weapons and training they received well before the invasion. Russia under-estimated how prepared Ukraine forces have become since 2014. Bad intel on their part. There's no such thing as war by infantry anymore, if Russia wanted to obliterate Kiev he would've done so already. And he under estimated or didn't think the West would dare to get involved since they were supposed to be business partners.
This all looks badly for Europe leaders because at one point they were ready to do more oil and NG deals with Russia and I think the US decided to push Europe into a proxy war with Russia over oil again.
Iraq was about oil and now Ukraine is about oil again. When the price of oil spikes, businesses all love price hikes. When the price of oil goes down, the prices of goods and services rarely go down.
I'm puzzled as to why the Russians would think that they could attack despite being outnumbered and think things would turn out well.
Just seems like the people at the top have done a disservice to the average Russian grunt with their tactics, equipment and overall planning.
It was said, that the Defense Ministry was overly-optimistic in his advice to the president, regarding Russia's military capabilities. The decision to invade, according to some inside Russia, was based on erroneous information.
