Unlimited, but a liar will always take whatever position is most convenient.
If Putin came out and said Canada was bad, dukkha/anatta would immediately start spreading lies about Canada. That's how he rolls.

He won't. He's a pro-Russian bot. He'll stick around even if he changes usernames as often as Legion.
Agreed that people can claim anything they like on anonymous forums. Military members are often proud of their service, but rarely wield it like a club to win debates because it's both wrong and stupid to do so. Those who do are, more often than not, not who they claim to be. Sure, like Nathan Phillips, they may have served, but any bragging is certainly bullshit.
FWIW, I registered for the draft but wasn't drafted. Like everyone else who served during that time, including Nathan Phillips, i was awarded an "Alive in '75" medal. It's essentially meaningless IMO since I didn't do anything except enlist and serve during that time period.
FWIW, Vietnam officially ended in 1975. My enlistment in the Marine Corps was after HS graduation (1974).

^ you missed being a Freak (what straights call "hippies") no wonder you are so judgemental of others that didn't
But if you were in , that gives you moral authority to criticize. I never criticize those who went in
It's a matter of conscious,or for most drafting their ass

This is the beginning......... You've seen nothing yet....Wow!
I knew that the Trump puppets would go ape-shit if he lost, but even I did not think they would go on and on like they are doing.
I suspected I would enjoy it...
...but this is almost too much fun.
Hey, Trump puppets...keep on truckin'.
I am loving it!

You could make the argument that Russia is similar to China in terms of military threat, but not ideologically.
Having an asshole as a leader isn't the reason Russia is demonized. They're demonized because they don't do business with us much. The leader of Saudi Arabia is far more of an asshole, but we don't typically demonize him or Saudi Arabia. This is because we do a lot of business with him. The Ayatollah is no worse than the Saudi prince, but we demonize him because, again, we don't do business with Iran.
It all comes down to money and geopolitical relations. These are the reasons behind our excessive interventionism as well.
My loyalties are to certain cultural principles, not any particular nation. I tried to be nationalist for America, but now I see that America is beyond help. Whatever this nation becomes from here on is not of my concern now, because I'll likely be leaving in a few years. I just have to get my finances in order and learn a different language. Poland is of particular interest to me at the moment.
If Putin dies, that doesn't change much about Russia. If you find fault in Russia's expansion of power, then you should have similar concerns about our own. Imperialism, whether it is the Russian variety or the American variety, does not benefit the average citizen of either country. It only benefits the elites.
I propose that we actually draw Russia closer to us and encourage them to distance themselves from China. If we could get the entire West and Russia to reduce business with China, that would do a lot to change the power balance of the world. Currently, Russia and China have good relations, but there is a long history between both nations.

Why do you think Russia and American ideology is compatible? Is it because both the Russians and the American's eyes are round and the Chinese are not?
Disagreed on your assessment of the US. Your choice of conclusions is taking you done the wrong path about all of our foreign relations.
The CCP is fundamentally at odds with anything remotely Western. Maoist ideology is far more oppressive than anything even Stalin came up with.
Also, unlike China, Russia has evolved past Communism. It still has plenty of corruption, but they slowly are making progress toward being more Western in many respects. China adapts to certain Western norms, but what drives their culture is still rooted in Maoism.
How so? China is not our friend. If anything, they are slowly taking us over through corporate and political influence.

ROFLMAO. What do you think Russia has evolved into? Certainly not democracy. Yes, China is still a commie nation. We're agreed China is an enemy. That's been posted several times and continually restating it is tiresome.
It's why you are so loyal to Russia, and Putin, that interests me.
Well, it's not a communism, for sure. It usually is referred to as an oligarchy in terms of economy. It has a democratic government, but they lack transparency on many things. Still, they certainly are closer to a true representative government than China is.
Russia has multiple parties in the legislature, for example. In China, you technically can be part of a party other than the CCP, but you're not going to have any real power doing so. And if it looks like you are becoming a threat to the CCP's dominance in even the slightest way, bad things will happen to you. The Falun Gong have found this out the hard way.
So yes, compared to China, Russia is far more evolved in terms of freedoms.

True: Russians have evolved into a bunch of thugs; the Russian Mafia.
Just because a government calls itself a democracy doesn't mean it is. Example: the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
When a leader receives over 90% of the vote, do you really think that's a democracy? How about over 75% of the vote?
None of this changes the fact Russia is a hostile enemy.

I don't think you care, that is what I said & what I believe.......
He cares about Russia, Putin and subjugating the US to Russian influence. He certainly doesn't care about the Constitution and supporting the US against our enemies in Russia, China and elsewhere.
If he's a Russian asset outside the US, he's safe from prosecution. If he's a Russian agent inside the US, he's subject to deportation. If he's an American citizen, he's treasonous and should be dealt with as a traitor.
Darth Omar
Russian asset
Carp, has it occurred to you yet that your lefty Russia phobe buddies are going to abandon you the minute Biden takes office lol?
They only cared about Russians to the extent the Russian hoax was used to delegitimize Trump. Once Trump is gone you may be the only JPP poster who cares about Russia.
And you could end up talking to yourself.

The key point, obviously, is that Putin, having been trained in the USSR secret service, loves to plot and interfere with elections in hostile countries so that they elect incompetents like Trump. Faced with an experienced statesman like Mr Biden he will have to do some new plotting. Russia has got weaker, just as has the US, and I think people with any sense will concentrate on China - nastier than even Trump or Putin but a bloody sight more efficient and more threatening.

An enemy is an enemy no matter how much cock you suck or whose cock you are sucking, comrade Darth.
Maoism is a reflection of Chinese Confucianism -loyalty to society and family are more important then indvidualism
China has a Hive Mind -we are too busy being ourselves ( I gotta be me) to consider the common good
Politician dont do that anymore either - the exception was Trump and his "America First"
Russia isn't all western but certainly has much more in common with the west then China does.
Your posts are a breath of fresh air in this age of Russiaphobia
why not focus on what I say, then what you ruminate upon I am thinking?I don't think you care, that is what I said & what I believe.......
