[QUOTE=Dark RaveN;44270037]Yeah, but NATO didn't have the balls to do a proper intervention when the government changed on a brink of a civil war in the Ukraine, Putin just took the initiative for them.[/QUOTE] NATO's purpose isn't to invade every country that has a collapsing government. Hell it's hardly to invade at all.
[QUOTE=Masterofstars;44270285]NATO's purpose isn't to invade every country that has a collapsing government. Hell it's hardly to invade at all.[/QUOTE] So what exactly happened at Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan?
[QUOTE=Dark RaveN;44270335]So what exactly happened at Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan?[/QUOTE] with afghanistan there was a clear casus belli, i suppose libya might have one too since it could cause some instability in south europe due to refugees or something and rebels asked for help, plus the fact gaddafi was literally shooting regular people, but with iraq there wasn't really any.
[QUOTE=Dark RaveN;44270335]So what exactly happened at Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan?[/QUOTE] Afghanistan and Iraq, as dubious as it was, were in retaliation for 9/11. Libya was due to issues it was causing in Europe proper, though NATO hardly made a complete invasion of the country.

[QUOTE=seano12;44268671]Please tell me this never happened. I don't want to believe that one of my fellow countrymen doesn't know what the cold war is, especially someone who lived through it (a babyboomer).[/QUOTE] It's actually quite typical for a regular U.S citizen (to be this dumb). Well, atleast according to [B]some[/B] sources
[QUOTE=RazorsharpLT;44271763]It's actually quite typical for a regular U.S citizen (to be this dumb). Well, atleast according to [B]some[/B] sources[/QUOTE] irrelevant unfounded generalizations 101
[QUOTE=RazorsharpLT;44271763]It's actually quite typical for a regular U.S citizen (to be this dumb). Well, atleast according to [B]some[/B] sources[/QUOTE] just out of curiosity, can you cite these sources, please?
[QUOTE=RazorsharpLT;44271763]It's actually quite typical for a regular U.S citizen (to be this dumb). Well, atleast according to [B]some[/B] sources[/QUOTE] I have never in my life met another American who didn't know what the cold war was. Not even other high schoolers. Frankly it's pretty dumb for you to think that.
[QUOTE=Wizards Court;44268978]yup and, that is not even getting into the fact, that the referendum was bogus lol.

There are like three other people standing behind him, could be his parents that he is just slipping in the papers for. The part about biker gangs and armed personnel was told about by our TV like a day or two before the referendum itself, so it was to be expected. Even if they didn't answer the questions - there were armed people in Kiev too, they didn't answer jack shit. Why should these guys answer? But I do agree that the referendum is pretty fake. I am not against it though, the Marked one shouldn't have given Crimea away because it is our clay.
[QUOTE=RazorsharpLT;44271763]It's actually quite typical for a regular U.S citizen (to be this dumb). Well, atleast according to [B]some[/B] sources[/QUOTE] It's actually quite typical for a regular Lithuanian citizen to generalize this much. Well, according to some sources. Yeah, see how that works? Don't be that guy.
