@Paerigos Your preposition when speaking on behalf of 750 million people, is rather absurd and highly dishonest.
The next time, your taxes pay for a soldier, a police officer, or a fireman, I want you to attempt to apply that lie when you ask a. your firemen to run into a burning building, b. your policemen risk their lives to protect the common good, and c. your soldiers to die for your liberty.
Here is the ugly truth to counter your rose colored glasses, sacrifices are made for the common good on a daily basis. Human testing is required for medicine to progress (animals and software are not enough.) Coal gets burned, to keep Euros out of the hands of a madman, attempting to invade Ukraine. And so on...
A quote to consider: "When you wear rose colored glasses, all red flags, just look like flags."

@valerievankerckhove9325 Last time I checked if the price of Natural Gas goes up it goes up for everyone. When oil rigs in Saudi Arabia blow up due to an Iranian shelling, the price of gasoline in Los Angeles and in Beijing goes up, in equal proportion, the very next day.
So if Somali pirates start hitting the shipping lanes of Quatar's LNG plants, the cost of electricity in Belgium, China, and United States, will go up whether the natural gas comes from Norway, Russia, or North Dakota. (The price for the consumer may not, depending on how strong the welfare state is but the cost will go up)
As for renewables, building solar power or wind turbines and importing them from China, America, or wherever, requires a lot of energy, a lot of fossil fuel energy in fact. When you buy solar panels from China, they aren't paying for fossil fuels to deliver them, YOU and YOUR countrymen are. When you build renewable energy at home, the natural resources from steel to rare earth minerals also must be shipped, again you and your countrymen are paying for these fossil fuels.
Or are you one of those people who successfully self-deceived themselves into believing that Belgium is a country that doesn't use fossil fuels, its those polluting Liberians and Panamanians. I hate to break it to you but it doesn't matter if the ships are registered in Liberia, Panama, or anywhere else, if your country is using the ships and the shipping lanes, you are using the fossil fuels that power the cargo ships and the resource extraction that produces the natural resources your country buys. If you buy cotton clothes, tropical fruit, or anything exotic, you are also paying for their fossil fuel usage and thus contributing to the extraction of said fossil fuels, even if the official 'government propaganda' claims we are a 'clean country.'

@Carlos Sifleet Colonialism is why Africa had enough semi-modern infrastructure to be able to form nations.
I know, propaganda taught you all you need to know about Colonialism but propaganda and facts disagree. Europeans lost more resources building Africa and its infrastructure than they gained during Colonialism. The countries that did not participate or participated the least, in African colonialism were the ones who were the strongest in the early 20th century. Belgium, Holland, UK, France, all lost money and resources building up their colonies. America and Germany who had none or few, dominated the others. So Colonialism wasn't good for anyone other than Africa.
And when the Colonial powers left, things went to hell in a hand-basket. You like imagining a world without Colonialism, try imagining it without the English language, the Democratic/Parliamentary systems, and without European built ports across the 3rd world. Now imagine the grinding poverty of those countries without the European touch. Or if you really need to, look at Haiti, they got rid of the French and no one is bothering to tell them how to govern themselves... how's that working out for them?

@summer031977 I live in CA Mr. AZ, so you aren't exactly schooling me on immigration.
If the American gun manufacturers were not allowed to sell guns to the Cartels, MS-13, and the Mexican Mafia, then there wouldn't be a domestic terror, forcing a refugee crisis on our border, from Mexico, El Salvador, and the rest of Central America.
The next time you see that shithead Wayne LaPierre, remember this, he's not opposed to background checks because it would infringe on your 2nd Amendment Rights, its because the MODs in the US couldn't sell arms to murderers and sociopaths, south the US border.
And the reason for the flood of illegal immigration is the sale of said 'unregistered' firearms, to the worst people in the world.
As soon as we push a Federal firearm registration, the illegal arms trade will end, and the refugee and immigration from south of the border, will dry up.

@sunshine6522 What you said was the following:
"Then riots occurred around the compound just like every year, but this time Israeli police chased the rioters into the mosque and threw tear-gas at them while prayers were ongoing."
"This was portrayed by the Palestinians as an attack on the Al-Aqsa mosque- and Hamas responded by firing rockets at Jerusalem, Israel responded with airstrikes- and from there it turned into a full-blown war."
Well, the truth is different from what you wrote, the riots were sparked by Israeli Police walking into the Al-Aqsa mosque and turning off the call to prayer speakers, so that the President of Israel could give his political speech. It was an intentional incitement and provocation. There was no Israeli police chasing any rioters.
As for the High Holy Days, it was some other holiday that was being celebrated in Mount Meron 04/30/2021 in Israel around the time of Ramadan and the festivities were allowed to unfold.
But Ramadan was being suppressed by the Israelis, in the name of COVID lockdowns. That stank to high heaven of bigotry, oppression and apartheid.
"Palestinian legislative elections scheduled for May, the first in 15 years." - And Israel wanted to radicalize the Palestinian voters right before that election, so that they would vote for Hamas.
As for your shit take on treason, people who are being oppressed and humiliated and having their homes confiscated are not committing treason when they fight back. According to your logic, the Jewish victims of Kristallnacht should have obeyed their government and accepted it because it would be treason to oppose it.
As you are incapable of telling the truth, I'm going to stop responding to you. Go shill for hate mongers on your own dime.

The first rule of capitalism, if there is a need, people will find a way. Yes, I know it is cynical but it is also pragmatic.
If there is a demand, a supplier will find them. You need food, someone has food. You need weapons, someone has weapons. You need soldiers, someone has soldiers. Lowest price wins. Sometimes the price isn't just monetary. Sometimes the lowest price includes people not asking questions.
American, French and British mercenaries are expensive and ask questions because they might get arrested when they get home. Russian mercenearies don't have to worry these considerations. Ultimately, it all goes back to Capitalism. If there is a need, people will find a way to fulfill it.

Yeah, I'm going to say you're full of it. I'm going to say that the entire story you told is made up. And I'm going to say you are lying to make your opinions sound plausible.
You're also a guy who probably dabbles in stolen valor trying to sound self-important and knowledgeable in front of the ignorant.
Here are some facts, you lying piece of garbage:
1. The Pentagon has spent $15 million in the past five years to treat 1,892 transgender troops, including $11.5 million for psychotherapy and $3.1 million for surgeries, according to Defense Department. (2016-2021)The Pentagon has spent $15 million in the past five years to treat 1,892 transgender troops, including $11.5 million for psychotherapy and $3.1 million for surgeries, according to Defense Department. ONLY 243 surgeries took place.
2. That means 378.4 requests per year and less than 50 operations per year.
3. The US military has 1.4 million personnel
4. According to you, your imaginary son he had two of these requests in a company (usually 100-250 soldiers)
5. At the rate you are suggesting at a maximum sized company of 250, 1 in 125 soldiers would be requesting a sex change or about 11.200 requests in 5 years. And since most companies are closer to 150 men, that's a rate of 2 in 150 or 18,700 sex change requests.
6. Most of these requests are more than likely coming from non-combat troops (admin, accounting, etc.) rather than tank crews and guys likely to face live fire.
7. Finally, company commander is just a garbage name, if your son held a rank, it would have been something you'd have posted like a Captain, or a Major, fathers of US soldiers have no fear of posting their son's rank.
Based on all of my points, I'm calling you out to provide some evidence of this imaginary Company Commander of a US Army Tank Company that had 2 requests for gender reassignment in the last 2.5 years, since Biden took office?

@eldolorcosmico The Californios and Tejanos were not Mexicans. You were just taught shitty history by moronic propagandists. Texas and California declared Independence from Mexico in 1836 12 years after Mexico stole them from Spain. So if you want America to return them to anyone, it would be Spain and NOT Mexico.
Oh, that's right, according to you if Mexico owned it for a few years then it was Mexican. I guess Guatemala and El Salvador should also consider returning themselves back to Mexico.
You probably don't know this but here is another history lesson, none of the adults in Texas or California in 1836, were born in Mexico. They were all born in Spain and none of them wanted anything to do with Mexico and still don't, to this day. They thought of Mexico as an invader who wanted to steal their freedoms and not as their country.
As for the military bases, the U.S. has none in South America except some island bases in the Caribbean. Again, don't spew your propaganda at me because you couldn't be bothered to check the facts.
Banks and NGOs are there because someone invited them. Without American and European banking, things would really get bad, like mass famine and Lord of the Flies bad.
