Our intentions were good? We supported afghan rebels for the sole purpose of trying to stop a bipolar power arrangement. There was no altruism there buddy.SuperJail Warden wrote:

I wonder how all the people who rode Putin's dick over the years feel now? How manly and heroic he is for supplying weapons that terrorists used to kill innocent civilians! 100 of the passengers on the plane were AIDS activist and researchers going to a conference. A small price to make the poor Russians feel better about being the Africa of white people.
Are you more focused on pointing a finger at those people and saying "haha" like Nelson from the Simpsons? That's pretty spiteful

The Soviet Union was an empire built by decades of human rights violations. Containing and dismantling it saved countless lives throughout Eastern Europe and Asia. I think you are forgetting what we were stopping there.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:

It didn't matter though, Asians aren't really people, not compared to 'mericans.

I seem to have missed the part of American history when we sent millions of our own people into gulags.

The USA tried hard with those internment camps for Japanese Americans and some others during WWII; they were more successful a little while back with all the slaves and the native Americans.SuperJail Warden wrote:

It is amazing how a discussion about Russians downing a passenger jet gets turned around into a bashing of America.

It sickens me that the supposedly progressive and leftwing politicians and mainstream media figures in the U.S. aren't condemning Israel. Even on MSNBC they don't raise a single objection to the bombing.

You brought up American history from the mid 19th century in a talk about Putin. It is really stupid and completely irrelevant.
ah, the dast that i remember . . .
You stated that you missed the part of American History where we went millions to gulags. He replied with an example. I'd say replying directly to a statement by you using an example is as relevant as you can get.SuperJail Warden wrote:

If you're into using 20th century examples, look at how we treated Japanese-American citizens during WW2. Look at the fucking civil rights movement! Look at how we treat prisoners across the country, and in Guantanamo. Look at how the American public at large treats immigrants today. Talk shit about injustices in foreign lands all you want, but as my main man MLK Jr said, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere".
FYI Cowboy vs. Indian battles were going well into the 20th century.

Use Native American. Indian isn't the proper terminology. They don't count anyway. What was started against them predated the U.S. and the worst of it happened in the early 19th century. We have compensated their descendants handsomely. Russia is still removing Muslims from their land in the Caucasus.
We compensated and apologized to the Japanese. We vowed we would never do such a thing again. Russia has never apologized to the former Soviet states and has obviously shown that it does not want to ever make amends.
I don't have the patience to go through all your other examples. I am often one of the most vocal critics of the U.S. I don't deny we have made some mistakes. But I can say that Russia is objectively worse than us when it comes to human rights.
If it was 1939 and you were alive, I bet you would bring up segregation whenever someone complains about Nazi treatment of the Jews. People like you enable dictators. Putin has to be stopped now. Complaining about America's past isn't going to stop the Ukrainian insurgency.

No we haven't compensated them handsomely! You're just being obtuse now. We stuck them on fucking desert shit land and gave them shit. We are still fucking them over. We are still not holding up our end of the treaties (treaties used really generously here) that we signed with them when we swindled them out of their land back then.
I agree that objectively, Russia has a worse human rights record, but that doesn't mean the US doesn't have its fair share of issues in that regard. Glass houses blah blah blah
Haha people like me enable dictators? Whatever dude. It's called perspective. Russia needs to get the fuck out of Ukraine. US needs to get out of Afghanistan. And Iraq. And the myraid places across the globe we have military presence to further our economic interests. Just like we should have stayed out of Iraq before. And Iran. And the Banana Republics.
The difference between you and I is that I'd rather focus on something that is staining my own country's reputation, not talk shit on a foreign despot doing the same sort of thing the US does around the world. I have no problems saying what Putin is doing is wrong.

Wow, you think we are still screwing Native Americans over but pissed and moaned along with everyone else when I suggested we dissolve the reservation system. Make up your mind.
Russia and the U.S. aren't doing the same thing across the world. The war in Iraq and Afghanistan were justifiable on humanitarian grounds. We spent large amounts of money and lives to try and build functioning democracies that respected human rights. The constitution of Iraq is the most progressive in the entire middle east besides Israel and Turkey. We had success nation building in other places like Germany and Japan. Have we exploited them long-term or have they fought with us since? No, we haven't. Our failure in Iraq and Afghanistan is the fault of the people in those places and not because of any I'll intent on our part. What good is Russia doing in Ukraine or Chechnya?
I can focus on multiple things at once. Our country should be able to give equal attention to our own politics while keeping up our responsibility and commitment to human rights and democracy.
