  1. Question: How come the free world doesn't put economic sanctions against the USA for assassination drone strikes against citizens of another sovereign nation? (Double standards ?) If another nation did assassination drone strikes against US citizens on US soil, wouldn't we claim that they were 'terrorists'? (So, is being a 'terrorist' a matter of which side of the drone one is on?) To help stop terrorism one has to also stop being a terrorist.

  2. Question: If sanctions can be put upon Russia by the free world, due to Russia invading and occupying Crimea, then why aren't sanctions put upon Israel by the free world, due to Israel invading and occupying Palestine? (Double standards ?)

  3. Marek Kolenda I wonder. Trump has been alienating the USA's allies and emboldening it's enemies. When Trump first became President of the USA he was seen as being the leader of the free world, (as many Presidents before him). As I currently understand it to be, Trump is no longer seen as being the leader of the free world by the free world and even is seen as a joke by some free world nations. So, Trump, all within less than one term in office, has gone from being a leader, to not being a leader, to being a joke, from the free world's perspective. Trump and his supporters made America 'less great' it would appear to me. Of course, maybe the Brics economic union needs a clown in their midst to laugh at to lighten the serious problems this world is facing. The balloon was a nice touch.

  6. Marek Kolenda You are missing the point. The point is why aren't economic sanctions put upon Israel by the free world due to Israel invading and occupying Palestine. (Since it's being done to Russia / Crimea).

  7. Marek Kolenda Eastern Ukraine is still Ukraine, isn't it? Shouldn't a sovereign nation have the right to decide who they get protection from, when, where, how, etc?
