Stellar Posted October 7, 2012 #26 Share Posted October 7, 2012 So in your world if a nation wishes you ill, works to harm you and gives aid to your enemies you would not "target" them? So in your world if a nation hates you, they work to harm you and give aid to your enemies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+and-then Posted October 7, 2012 #27 Share Posted October 7, 2012 So in your world if a nation hates you, they work to harm you and give aid to your enemies? Britain had some "friends" called Hessians. France helped the South in our Civil War. Germany had many, many spies and saboteurs in the US during WWI and WWII. China and Russia in the 60's - Vietnam. Marine Barracks Beirut, Khobar Towers, The two African Embassies, the USS Cole, WTC attack one, 9-11...... Yeah...I'd say that statement was accurate...

Stellar Posted October 7, 2012 #28 Share Posted October 7, 2012 You really are paranoid, aren't you? Well, continue on your course then. Continue p***ing people off, and them targeting them because you're p***ed off. Clearly that's the right way to do things. Btw, you keep claiming that people "misunderstand" you. I don't think so. You could have the stance that you target those that target you, but you didn't chose to say that, you chose to say that you target those who hate you. It is very possible for one to hate another, yet have no involvement in harming the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellar Posted October 7, 2012 #30 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Are the examples I posted inaccurate? Why must you make this personal? Are you kidding me? You show me a couple of examples of people who worked against the US, and therefore all people who hate you must be actively trying to harm you? What kind of a ridiculous leap on in logic is that?

I wouldn't try to kid YOU Stellar! You seem to be the one doing the generalizing here. Obviously not every single human being that hates the US is spending their days actively planning our demise. But the context I WAS SPEAKING IN is replete with such examples. You become tiresome at times...almost troll like.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your statement was that I find myself at odds with a large portion of the world. I said I was proud to be so. I am. Proud to be at odds with a large part of the world which I disagree with.....

ninjadude Posted October 7, 2012 #34 Share Posted October 7, 2012 So in your world if a nation wishes you ill, works to harm you and gives aid to your enemies you would not "target" them? because we don't want, need or can pay for war with the rest of the world. Everyone does not have to agree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+OverSword Posted October 8, 2012 #36 Share Posted October 8, 2012 So Chavez is re-elected for a 3rd term. Although this guy is a whack job I say he was the better choice for the average Venezualan. It's good that he nationalized thier oil (reportedly the largest oil reserves in the world) and uses the money in social programs that hel the poorest part of thier population. His opponent would have had the rich richer and the poor poorer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were one of the bottom 35% income earners in Venezuala you probably wouldn't think so. Edited to add that Ronald Regan and Bill Clinton both tried to do the same thing.

MichaelW Posted October 9, 2012 #39 Share Posted October 9, 2012 http://www.guardian....uelas-democracy So, all the reports by the Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and the Organisation of American States (all Americas) on the harassment of political opponents and opposition media as well as numerous incidents involving rights activists are all just lies forced down our throats by the Evil American Empire? I thought you and the Guardian were above such drivel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+and-then Posted October 9, 2012 #40 Share Posted October 9, 2012 because we don't want, need or can pay for war with the rest of the world. Everyone does not have to agree with you. Frankly Dude, I don't care if anyone agrees with me. This is a personal opinion I'm stating - not a demand that policy go my way. It seems childish for anyone to think that nations do not look after their self interest in every way possible. If you make problems for the USA then you can expect problems in return...it works the same for any other nation that has the power to project.

Edited to add that Ronald Regan and Bill Clinton both tried to do the same thing. He's done some good things but that doesn't stop him from being power hungry. Do you think it's ok that Chavez changed the laws of the country only to stay in power? Because I have a feeling that if an American president did that you'd be screaming bloody murder. bloomberg did almost same thing So that makes it ok?

acidhead Posted October 10, 2012 #44 Share Posted October 10, 2012 http://www.guardian....uelas-democracy Here is what Jimmy Carter said about Venezuela's "dictatorship" a few weeks ago: "As a matter of fact, of the 92 elections that we've monitored, I would say that the election process in Venezuela is the best in the world." Hugo said he other day "he'd vote for Obama"...... i'm starting to think Venezuela, like Iran are both false flag states for the NWO.... it's too obvious now.

Yamato Posted October 10, 2012 #45 Share Posted October 10, 2012 http://www.guardian....uelas-democracy Nationalizing one's oil production is the fastest way to vilify oneself in the eyes of the US government. It was the basis for Operation Ajax overthrowing Mossadeq and resulted in the enemy we've made Iran into. This behavior from the US government lives on with how we treat Venezuela today.

MichaelW Posted October 10, 2012 #47 Share Posted October 10, 2012 This behavior from the US government lives on with how we treat Venezuela today. Irrespective of documented harassment of political opposition figures and media? Right. Why do people support states which have iffy human rights records because they are "anti-American"? I don't support Saudi Arabia because they are anti-Iranian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
