That was one main issue we were discussing.
My Puerto Rican friend understood that it takes a big set of economic incentives to tame "racists" (my words, in 2014/15) in Poland and Ukraine. They want freedom to travel in the E.U., so joining the E.U. will put them in a less nationalistic position. But they still are nationalistic beasts. I said it is "tricky to sooth the nationalistic beasts". I have to defang the nationalistic EvC site, and it is, indeed, "tricky". This site has been the biggest challenge ever, for this old anti-nationalist.

"Unlike the richer and more powerful nations... Pakistan does not have the luxury of testing ghe West's patience, particularly Washington."
A website I just found, called Crisis.org (?) analyses many nations that stood against the mighty West, in the UN vote. Quote might be a bit off, as I have to remember it word for we ord on my phone. Crisis Group is site. Quote was close enough. Edited by LamarkNewAge, : No reason given.

Are you a globalist, then? If there were such a thing as "sides" which side would you suport?
"A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain " *** “…far from science having buried God, not only do the results of science point towards his existence, but the scientific enterprise itself is validated by his existence.”- Dr.John Lennox “A God without wrath brought men without sin into a Kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a Cross.” “The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” — Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You

All you have are strawman fallacies and a gish gallop? So I assume you know nothing about Puerto Rico, but are willing to trot out your "Puerto Rican friend" when convenient.

It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

When I was leaving New York (sigh,again) in 2017, I was reading thg he New Jersey Star Ledger, and Steve Bannon was on the cover.
He was using the term "globalist". The paper mentioned how that was a term "left-wingers" use, but it is now a term right-wingers gave started to use. I have no idea what it means, actually. Sorry.

You are lost in 50 different contexts, and unfortunately, none are part of this one.

Troll. Who knows nothing about Puerto Rico except that it is a US "ethnic" group.

Washington Post
Bannon VOWS A DAILY FIGHT FORFEB 23, 2017 PHILLIP RUCKERROBERT COSTA Bannon used some terms that are more often heard on the political left as negative labels, such as "globalist" and "corporatist". Such words are rarely heard in a traditional Republican platform and underscore how Trump's populism and suspicion of theworld economy are in some respects similar to that of Sen Bernie Sanders (I see the term as a whole lot of confusion, mind you) Edited by LamarkNewAge, : No reason given.

From the crisis site I linked to:
On 27 February, the ruling African National Congress (ANC) issued its own statement that criticized "openly biased" Western leaders, and spoke of "brazen propaganda" and "unprecedented disinformation" - presumably on the part of the Western media - and referenced unjust western military interventions in other places. The "statement" has a hyper link. On the crisis site, I linked some posts above. I challenge Theodoric to get off of his Trolling butt, and respond, line by line to a statement from the party of the late Nelson Mandela. The ANC might represent the polar opposite of your overall political views, Theodoric, but you would show a rare moment of character by engaging those you disagree with so strongly. (The ANC is fairly close to my own views, generally. On foreign policy, we dont disagree on much)

Why would I respond to the statement of a political party in a foreign country? Besides I have not seen the text. Post a link and maybe I will read it.

Your source lied.
The Nelson Mandela Foundation called for a ceasefirs AND NEGOTIATIONS! And the latest call, from the foundation, was to condemn Ukrainian racism. You have deen wilfully misled by liars. Now address the actual ANC statement! It would be out of character, for you - meaning it would show character

Show me where the word "condemn" was used. Oh. Condemned. I know this word. The world knows this word. Everyone, except fascist power-mad dictator wannabees, is using this word to describe your hero, Putin. 141 of 193 nations voted to condemn Putin. Putin was officially condemned by the whole world. Tsar Vladimir The Condemned. Yes. We know the word well.Eschew obfuscation. Habituate elucidation.

So, are you in favor of negotiations?
The Nelson Mandela Center does. The ANC does. Most of the world does. Why do you disagree with the 4.1 billion in 40 countries that oppose the 3.6 billion in 141 countries. The non-white, non-fascist world wants negotiations. Join the world! Condemn the "unprecedented disinformation" (see Feb 27, ANC)of the West.
