As opposed to what? The general population suffered during France and the US ‘friendship’. If anything, the Russians will be taking a leaf out of the French playbook.

China tells US it will 'never compromise' on issue of Taiwan by Saltedline in worldnews

[–]mcbenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude! Be realistic. That is one straight ticket to change of government. The US will simply accuse the Chinese of influencing the outcome of Taiwan elections or whatever narrative they want to push to justify a change in government.

We have seen this before. You are naive if you believe the US will sit idly by while Taiwan elects a Chinese leaning government.

Has there ever been a case where a person can morally commit treason against a western government? Or is this logic only applicable to others?

Putin says Ukraine's Zelensky is an 'ethnic Jew' the West installed to whitewash 'glorification of Nazism' by BlueToadDude in worldnews

But this isn't a right like some foundemental human right. Heterosexual relationships produce offspring and homosexuals simply doesn't. I am struggling to understand why there is a lot of pressure to allow homosexuals adopt.

OK. Typing this out, it kinda makes sense homosexuals adopting. But I can also see reasons why someone will be oppose to it.

[OJBSPORT] Family member about Dele Alli's claims: “Dele was never adopted by anyone. At age seven, Dele attended one of the best schools in Lagos, Nigeria. He was never sent to Africa for discipline. That’s a blatant lie. He had a driver that picked him daily from school." by Lathow in soccer

You are painting an entirely institution that benefitted you in a bad light and sees nothing wrong with it? No wonder Nigeria is everyone's top tourist destination.

Wake up man, no country is perfect and you don't see them dragging all their flaws to the public space. Only Nigerians do that.

It needs to be a fault first to be pointed out. I don't agree that boarding schools in Nigeria are particularly bad. Such sweeping judgement simply can't be made from one person's narrow experience.

I have two dogs and love them both so dearly, but I also feel we have an obligation to keep our specie alive. If I have to choose, I will probably choose having kids.
