  • The use of an euphemism doesn't really change what happened. The previous regime fell and a new one was installed in its place.

  • “what we have seen from China is the single biggest increase in military capability and build up in conventional sense, by any country since the end of the Second World War”

    WTF? The USA alone outspends most of the world combined in this area but somehow China is the threat? This guy should at least remove the american balls he's gargling before spouting something like that

  • applicants are first and foremost deciding if it works

    not that I agree with OP but this is the same fallacy of "voting with your wallet", this kind of boycott simply doesn't work long term, applicants eventually find themselves out of options and increasingly desperate as time goes by

  • Well duh. You can apply for asylum without a passport. Now try to bridge the ~8k miles from Russia to Ecuador without one, while trying to avoid being deported to the USA, and see how far you'll get. Best case, you'd be stuck for years in some embassy like happened to Julian Assange.

  • But there are many diplomatic avenues to get from one sympathetic country to another for a legitimate asylum claim.

    So you say, without providing any proof such avenues exist.

  • I’m not sure what your point is.

    You worded your post like this:

    Putin captured him to use as a pawn against the US

    This text implies that Snowden was actively captured. Of course he's not there because he choose to, or so I believe. But the fact is that he got stranded there, his own country put him in that situation.

    I’m sure it has been explained to him that it would be dangerous for him to leave Russia’s “protection”

    And this is actually true. If Snowden lands on any country that extradites to the USA, there's where he would be in a heartbeat, to rot forever in some jail, forgotten.

  • Trump envoy says Russian concern over NATO enlargement is fair

  • They all know that they could be the next Ukraine

    Ukraine as a country didn't even exist at the time the URSS was formed. Its current territory was literally split between Russia and Poland.

    All of those actions listed from 1938 to 1945 were offensive in nature

    I concede that I was wrong about Poland and Finland. But you're wrong in the timeline between 1941 and 1945. After Hitlet tried to invade the USSR, they paid a heavy price in human lives and became the nazi's worst enemies because of that.

    Great whataboutism with the US though!

    Vietnam was a proxy war. Yes, they were very involved in the war. But the one that got rebuked was the USA, they even got boots on the ground and lost anyway.

    And I reiterate my point: Russia != USSR. Your "continential imperialism" is bullshit.

  • Putin captured him to use as a pawn against the US

    This is not how things happened. He got stranded in Russia when the USA cancelled his passport, he was en route to Ecuador (at the time they had a government that was willing to give him asylum).

  • Trump envoy says Russian concern over NATO enlargement is fair

    Jump

  • wow... lots of NATO countries in this list, huh?

    It's hilarious too that it count countries liberated from nazis during WW2 as if they were being invaded to be annexed (implied by your "continental imperialism" quip). There's lots of other questionable ones in your list too (Vietnam? invaded by the USA!)

    Also, Russia != USSR, but who cares about facts if they stand in the way of a good ol' Russia bashing, right?

  • Someone should explain to him why NATO exists.

    it used to be because of the URSS existence, hard to tell why it still exists 34 years after it fell

  • It’s only a matter of time before they direct their ire towards the ones who put them in that position.

    I'd not hold my breath waiting for that. Why do you think billionaires own almost all newspapers/social media/mainstream media? They'll always find someone or something else to blame, keep us divided. And this has worked well enough for centuries.

  • None of your proposals would work for long, they only touch symptons of the real problem. We should be dismantling capitalism. It's the system itselft that allows the massive unequality we see around us, and it's by design.
