You're generalizations and reductionism is so over the top and absurd, I wouldn't even know where to begin or what the point would be. It's not hard to tell that you're just regurgitating bits and pieces of and are not actually familiar with the history (not to mention the historiography) of that part of the world. The history of Ukraine (and the former Soviet bloc more generally) after 1990 is no simple matter.

I'm not here to educate you - you need to learn to do that yourself. All I am saying is that you're wrong and need to research the issue much further in order to gain a good understanding of the topic you're trying to engage in.

Am I wrong in my assessment? Well, there's only one reasonable way to find out. Good luck!

Don't take this the wrong way but as someone who has lived and worked in many of the countries you mentioned - you're full of s**t and your hyper-simplified version of history is as cute as it is cartoonish.

Throwing a pitty party isn't doing them any favours either.

IMO, most people have a personal choice to make when their lies and BS have been publicly exposed: you either "put your big boy pants on" and start dealing with your inner shadow. Or you double down on your BS and slide even further down the rabbit hole of endless human BS, losing yourself in the process.

You can try to save monsters. But you can't be surprised when they bite you.

I'm not wishing anything, just stating the obvious. And if anything, Trump has made it much much more likely that other countries will use force to fulfill their perceived interests. You'd have to be asleep not to realize it.

You mean President Petar Stoyanov, from 1997-2002?!

Do tell me about my past presidents, dumbass.

Pretty sure China wouldn't mind an utter imbecile as US president every single time.

People all over the world will be celebrating! I also can't wait till that orange c**t drops dead - the parties will be awesome. And the tears of the maga shitheads over the death of their cult leader will be sweet.

I'll tell you what I told the other guy because you clearly didn't read the article carefully, as is obvious from your comment.

Actually, I'll word it a bit differently: based on the description of the image, show me beyond a reasonable doubt that there was ongoing "phone use", as you just claimed. Those are your words, its what you just claimed, so you should have absolutely no issue explaining to me. Right?

Well, that is unless you go back and reread the article and realize that you won't be able to. Not in a reasonable, legally sound manner anyway.

You need to go back and read the article because you obviously don't understand what actually happened.

I mean, holy hell batman, people are actually losing their ability to read and comprehend what they just read and then go on weird tyrades while totally misrepresenting the substance of the article because they were too lazy to read more than every 50th word.

This is fucking scary guys. Get a fucking grip. It's not that long and the language used is not that complex. Adults should be able to read and comprehend this short basic article, for fucks sake.

We are SO doomed as a species.

Calm down, Pol Pot. Before dehumizing everyone else and declaring yourself the guardian of all truth, consider this: admitting you made a basic mistake instead of going on an infantile tyrade about how people don't deserve rights will go a long way for you personally. Do it for yourself, not for something or someone else.

Thank me later. Or don't. Just as long as you try. There is no shame in making a mistake. Even less so in admitting it and apologising (quite the opposite actually). But there is a lot of shame in knowingly doubling down. It's clear what happened. Just own up to it. With time, you will discover it's almost like a super power. Your anxiety levels are also bound to go down.

Now go have a cold one and try and contemplate on the message without spewing vitriol toward the messengers.

I think reading comprehension mihht be a prerequisite for being an "enemy of the panoptic surveillance state". You should look into that.

Yes, let's just make the worst possible assumptions about every person in every situation ever. I mean, what could possibly be wrong with that?!

You might as well be saying "PLEASE SIR, TAKE MY RIGHTS AWAY, I'M TOO STUPID TO EXERCISE THEM ANYWAY"
