    The Paris Accord? The Paris Accord is pointless because most of the country members don't bother keeping their commitments because it's stupid and economically unfeasible to do so.

      Which is not relevant to my point in the least.

        It is because you used it as an example of "abandoning allies." It would be asinine to stick to an accord in spite of it being pointless or even a detriment to our country just because we don't want to abandon the members of the accord who are merely there virtue signalling.

          Being it wasn't a treaty or anything like that and was instead something that those agreeing to could back out of if they wished, it also really isn't the same thing as promises made to allies and friends which then get ignored when it is no longer convenient to uphold them.

            No, I used it as an example of, and I quote, "we've gotten worse wrt not keeping our word". Maybe read for basic comprehension next time hun

              The context was abandoning allies, or can you not keep up with the discussions? And calling me "hun" is creepy.

                Try reading the posts I make before responding to them, you cockwomble. The context of my statement that you leapt onto like rabid little flea, was the US not keeping its word. Try not being a braindead next time, eh snookums?

                  The context was abandoning allies, unless you just spew out random topics that are irrelevant to discussions. Regardless, it's goofy you think one president should follow the stupidity of a policy just because he's not "keeping the word" of his predecessor.

                    Which part of "we've gotten worse wrt not keeping our word" did your tiny seame-seed brain fail to grasp?

                    The only thing goofy here is you and your Kremlinite encouragement of the US not keeping its word., bucko.

                    • Nutsy Pelosi was recently in Ukraine to meet with Zelinsky and promise that the US is willing to support the war to the last Ukrainian. With friends like that...

                      Even that bitter old communist Noam Chomsky was surprised to realize that President Trump is the only high profile US statesman advocating diplomacy and peace.

                        I read Chomsky's position on Ukraine. Surprisingly, I agreed with him.

                          From the New York Post:

                          House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday pledged unwavering US support for Ukraine “until the fight is done” after she and a congressional delegation held an unannounced meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv.

                          Pelosi and Zelensky both posted tweets of the meeting – with the Ukraine leader linking to video of him wearing fatigues and surrounded by armed guards as he greeted the Democratic congressional members in Kyiv on Saturday.

                          “We believe that we are visiting you to say thank you for your fight for freedom. We are on a frontier of freedom and your fight is a fight for everyone. Our commitment is to be there for you until the fight is done,” Pelosi said in a video posted on her account.


                          If she had been a Republican, all we would be hearing about is The Logan Act

                          Pelosi doesn't have the authority to pledge a darn thing -- unless this is a tacit admission that old Joe isn't in charge.

                            You seem to have lost your mind.

                            MM may be a conspiracy nut but an actual Russian agent?

                            I would think actual Russian agents would be a bit more circumspect and probably woudln't bother with some backwater forum on the internet. Or maybe you are the Russian agent trying to throw off suspicion? Yeah, maybe that's it!

                            • Zelinsky is putting together a "registry of collaborators" targeted at imprisoning those who don't support the state approved narrative.

                              So he's taken control of Ukraine's media outlets, disbanded opposition parties within the Ukrainian government, and now this.

                              And he's supposed to be the good guy? ​​​​​​​

                                So since a large part of his country was pro-Russia (they have been fighting them for years before this in the Donbas area) that means there actually are Russian collaborators in Ukraine. And Zelenskyy did not invade Ukraine and bomb his people, that was Putin. So yes, he is the "good" guy. What was he supposed to do about Russian collaborators and supporters? They are the enemy as much as the actual Russians are.


                                What would be the situation if Russia invaded the US and there were people here who sided with the Russians? They would be considered traitors and executed. And you would be leading the charge to hang them.
