Invasion of Donetsk and Luhansk has never been proven. Crimea, sure I will concede that. For the record, I don’t approve of it, even though Crimea has been under Russia’s control for hundreds of years, and was only given to Ukraine by Khrushchev in the 50s.

Russia don't exist for 'hundred of years'. Why you people are repeating the nonsense?

Much of the world considers making a deal to carve up Poland as being "on the same side". You don't, but lots of people do, so terms need to be spelled out clearly if you're going to communicate.

The alternative to not “carving up Poland” was to not sign the mutual non-aggression pact and essentially enter into war with Germany before it thoroughly fucks up Britain and France. Britain and France would be quite delighted if Hitler pursued that course of action. I’m pretty sure theyd even withhold any meaningful military assistance to help things along while Hitler makes his run on Russia, for the same reason S…

Sounds like the point you're trying to make is that they did indeed agree to carve up Poland, but it was the least worst option, and in your opinion does not constitute "being on the same side". That was a reasonable contribution.

Your passive aggressive comments and your snide smug "look at me everyone, I'm so clever" childish put-downs; grow up. You actually managed to express a coherent and sensible opinion, and then blew it at the end; you just couldn't quite be an adult about it, and you transformed your whole comment from "rational discourse" to "petulant child".

This is why Tulsi Gabbard should be the 2020 Democratic Presidential nominee.

Tulsi "Maybe Assad is Actually Good" Gabbard isn't going to do too well.

I don't think she ever said he was good, just that we don't have strong enough evidence that chemical weapons were used by Syria to use military force against Assad. Chemical weapons could have been used by rebels, or even used or planted by the CIA.

If you believe we have solid proof that Assad ordered the use chemical weapons, I have some WMD's in Iraq to sell you...

Apathy is the status quo's greatest asset.

I think it's ignorance. We've seen the efforts to combat apathy, especially during the last political season and the subsequent year: rage, passion, and plenty of ignorance. "News" now consists of some talking heads yelling at each other, other talking heads desperately trying to label this group or that phrase or that other imagery as evil incarnate, interspersed with footage of extremists in the street screaming an…

Might be both ignorance and apathy.
