I clearly asked you to cite the international law that stated Hawaii was illegally annexed and occupied by the US, and as such, isn’t sovereign US territory.

It’s not my responsibility to justify the actions of Turkey, Israel, or any other country. That’s a deflection on your part.

Please cite the international law that states Hawaii becoming the 50th State was an illegal annexation/occupation by the US.

Please cite the international law that asserts that Crimea didn’t belong to Ukraine.

Likewise with your posts. Thanks for the different perspective, and for the reasonable debate/discussion.

Giving away something as a gift, is still a legal transfer of that “something” to the recipient. It’s not different than the analogy I provided above.

“the US and Israel were training and arming Georgia to be a Vietnam for the Russians.”

Your position is totally illogical.

I made absolutely no excuses for Bush’s actions. Yet, as you’ve just proven, there’s been no lack of attention paid to them.

“Invading a dump is easy, coalition or not. Managing the rats in the dump after you claim it is the hard part.”

Vicodin AND watching Sherlock?

You’ve obviously never fought fighters high on opiates, then. It makes them fearless, and makes them feel no pain. Combined with amphetamines, and you’ve got a monster of a human being.

People can say what they want about the Bushes. But, President HW Bush was a great strategist— and the last President to date who actually understood the concept, and how to maximize it’s goals via-hard, and soft power applications.

And what better way to demonstrate what a total douche you are, than by posting a comment like that?
