Perhaps I'm a little bias towards the United States government position. I'll admit that.Cannonpointer » 22 Mar 2023, 3:33 pm » wrote: ↑ Whoa - don't change the subject, neocon.
Assad being bombed with YOUR COUNTRY'S MISSILES - that was the actual subject. I said not one word about his citizens - why did you deflect?
Ukraine is next door and courting NATO short range missles (the most accurate and cheapest and most prolific and tactical kind) on Russia's borders.
Pretend Russia or China staged a coup in Mexico and installed a friendly government there, and were planning to put missiles on OUR border. What do you suppose our response would be?
Before you answer, google, "Cuban Missile Crisis." You will have your entire world view exploded, once you learn about that historical event.
I also heard that Khrushchev didn't even inform Castro that he was removing the missiles. I also once asked a Russian friend before the invasion about the Soviet perspective and he said they made a deal to move some missiles from Turkey in exchange.
Nothing is easier than defending the status quo.
