You’re excellent at distorting what I write. I am well aware the history is what has brought us to the present day. In my post I clearly addressed history as JUSTIFICATION for current events. The history of chattel slavery through the first half of America’s existence hardly justifies black violence against white victims in today’s world. It doesn’t justify hiring quotas either. Do you favor that policy too? Frankly Putin is a man of today’s world and his only interest in history is as an excuse to take what he wants.
But let's set history aside and go with facts that support the case we want to make. I know it's hard to get your head around stubborn facts that make sorting this out very difficult.
Some of us are of the opinion that it's just not our circus and we should steer clear of it and focus on our principal adversary - China - who will come out the winners if we get bogged down in a place we cannot even get to.
