This is way more complicated historically aspect, because Hitler initially wanted ot ally with Poland to attack Soviets. We denied and he allied with Soviets against us...
Then Hitler showed his smarts and attacked the largest country in the world.

According to the same logic, why has the United States, which has invaded the most countries and killed the most civilians since World War II, not been prohibited from contributing?
Brother, go and see how many "overseas bases" there are in the United States. A plot of land has been set aside in other countries and is under the management of the United States, with American troops stationed.
I don't know how a colony is defined in the United States, but in my country," "overseas base" "is just a colony with a different name.

Russia will do everything to prevent a war, but in case of not being successful, Russia will put its security first, and fight that war outside borders.

Look, if you want to understand those self-righteous neo-Leftists, it's quite simple:
All that Gender/Queer/Fight Russia/whatever crap is a valve for their inner hatred and their suppressed feelings. They are just cowards so they always pick some "moral value" which their society as a whole, or at least the main stream media, has already agreed upon.
Here in Europe we have many of those people who hysterically shout "no nations, no borders" and the next minute they say "we have to defend the Ukrainian nation, we have to restore the borders!".
They are just mentally ill people who were not successful with the opposite sex so they start ranting about "toxic masculinity" or "TERFs", and they were not brave enough to commit to their own country so they fully adopt "the Ukrainian matter" and worship corrupt Selenskyj and his oligarchs, without knowing anything about the country and its history.
Those cowardly Neo-Leftists thirst for social recognition, so basically everything they do is specifically done in the open and often in a theatrical matter (here: mailing list).
Need to be removed from all places of power before they can do more damage.

Cuz those who say they support this war don't want them to be punished for saying "No". Let me tell you what most people do in Russia when they are asked such (and actually less dangerous) questions? They turn around and walk away.

Russia's fighting a war in it's territory right now. Or are you admitting that the Donbas isn't a part of Russia, because that's the kind of thing that would get you thrown in jail if you lived in Russia.

Originally posted by skeevy420 View PostThere are also a fuck-ton of Pacific Islands that have been annexed by the US. Before, during, and after WW2.
1. Hawaii, in 1898. There's some pretty interesting stories about how this came to be.
2. Guam. Also in 1898, ceded by the Spanish after the Spanish-American war ended.
3. American Samoa, in 1900. The islands were mostly split between Germany and the US.
4. Northern Mariana Islands, taken from Japan in WW2, who in turn took them from Germany during WW1.
5. And I guess the US bought Alaska from Russia back in 1867, and that includes some associated islands if you wanted to count that.
The American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands voted to stay in the US in the 60's and 70's, respectively, and obviously Hawaii/Alaska are pretty happy about how things turned out. I'm not sure if Guam has ever officially voted on staying in the US or not, but I'm not aware of any real desire there to leave and be their own country.
Then there are 8 uninhabited islands, mostly just tiny little rocks. Some of them might have a little airport runway, others are too small even for that.
1. Baker Island - 1856
2. Howland Island - 1856
3. Jarvis Island - 1856
4. Johnson Atoll - 1858
5. Midway Atoll - 1859
6. Kingman Reef - 1860
7. Palmyra Atoll - 1898 - this one was owned by Hawaii, so the US got it by proxy
8. Wake Island - 1899
My understanding is that a lot of these were related to some guano mining concern back in the mid 19th century. I'm also pretty sure at least some of these were discovered by the US and not claimed by anyone else, though I haven't done much research here.
The US was definitely pretty imperialistic back in the day, first in expanding the US across North America and then attempting to become a world power with various pacific islands. But I'm not really aware of much going on for the last 100 years. As you can see most of this happened right around 1856 and again in 1898. I'd be interested what islands you are talking about post-WW2, maybe they were briefly annexed and then let go?
Oh, there was also the Philippines, granted to the US in 1898 by Spain again. Some nasty stuff went on there, and they were eventually granted independence after WW2.Last edited by smitty3268; 17 March 2023, 03:10 AM.
