You only ask stupid, non related asinine questions about hypothetical stuff and then incessantly demand people answer
I'm seeing if you have the ability to think critically. That's what a hypothetical tests.
Can you do more than repeat slogans like 'Putin puppet' or 'Putin propaganda'?
There's no evidence of it.
I can't imagine how ignorant one has to be of current events to think that the warnings of the former Russian ambassador and current CIA director on NATO expansion are 'non related', yet here you are, making it clear how little you understand about how we go to this point.
because you are a Ron Paul / Russian loving numpty
I love Ron Paul, because he loves liberty, and hates the neocon agenda of permanent wars abroad that do nothing but bleed American lives and treasure, while creating enmity for us around the globe.
There's nothing I love about Russia. Each time I ask you to provide evidence you don't. It's just a baseless charge to evade discussion.
Have you no inkling of how far the world's appraisal of our country has fallen since the neocons hijacked our foreign policy?
SCHMITZ: Yeah, the survey is called the Democracy Perception Index, and it's been conducted each year since 2018 by the Berlin-based research firm Latana and the Alliance of Democracies, which is a nonprofit based in Copenhagen dedicated to the advancement of democracy. This is the largest survey on democracy in the world. The goal here is to try and dig into what people see as the biggest threats to democracy globally.
MARTIN: And what are they?
SCHMITZ: Well, the first ones you would probably predict, yes, these probably are big threats - economic inequality, limits on free speech, unfair elections and social media. But 44% of those surveyed said another threat to democracy worldwide is the influence of the United States. That ranked higher than the influence of China or Russia. I spoke to Fred DeVeaux about this finding. He's a senior researcher at Latana. And he said, by and large, there was one region responsible for this perception of the U.S. as a threat to democracy.
FRED DEVEAUX: In most of the world, most people think the United States has a more positive impact than negative impact. But in European countries and many of the United States' allies, the balance is actually the other way, where more people say that the United States has a negative impact on democracy than positive.
And because you can't think critically, you have no idea why this is the case.
and no matter what, you have to advance that bizarre, USA loathing, agenda. You do this because you are incapable of debating the actual point.
Loathing the neocon agenda of endless war isn't loathing America, anymore than loathing the Vietnam War required loathing America.
Attempting to conflate them is just a rhetorical trick to avoid debating the folly of that agenda by trying to besmirch the other person's patriotism.
What point do you think I'm unwilling to debate? It's not I who refuses to answer the questions posed.
