Is that what you call invading a sovereign country?
Yes? The April peace proposal was about NATO expansion and the separatist republics. Ukraine probably could have successfully countered with the federal Ukraine model proposed and agreed to in the Minsk agreements.
It's a great provision for the next president that successfully steals an election though
If the VP murders the president, can they then pardon themselves?
Asking for a friend
Democrat worried about the 2024 election
I'm worried that Trump won't get in, he was such a driver of our engagement and fundraising
I'm sorry comrade dragon but did you just use the phrase imperial core?? Why don't you just marry Hitler then!
(Sarcasm to highlight the ridiculous exchange)
Yes, we are agreeing.
You can cope or bloviate all you want about this stuff
I think this is supposed to be directed to the other person who seemingly cannot accept that Honduras is not part of the "West".
Well geez, a court has blocked Trump from running in Colorado. It'll be seen as democracy in action I'm sure
high interest rates
Like 4 percent lol
essentialist definitions of the west based on racial categories
Yes this is how the West defines itself.
you can ask anyone in the latin america world, which is hundreds of millions of people, and they'll tell you they're western due to historic and cultural and religious ties.
I agree entirely.
why even bring up the germany ww1 portrayal thing are you trying to argue that germany wasn't western until after ww1?
The point is that "Western" is a changing category (for those outside the five eyes anyway) without any rigorously defined criteria. Russia is a good recent example.
your argument against that is because you can imagine some reactionary in america or europe who would disagree?
I don't need to imagine that, and they do disagree. And the reason why what a reactionary thinks matters is because they are unfortunately have a great deal of power.
you think it has more in common with east asia
Well, the Philippines is a majority Christian country that speaks English.
For another example, Zambia is a majority Christian country that speaks English.
The "West" is an overwhelmingly racist concept that produces bizarre things like the categorisation of countries in South America as not being western despite for example Uruguay or Argentina having a majority of people with predominantly European ancestors
