You may have whatever view of democracy you would like and I will have mine.

The major difference between you and I is I will defend your right to speak freely whether I agree with it or not.

What my exact beliefs are is not the issue in this thread are they?
If you would like to discuss my beliefs perhaps you should contact me privately rather then hijack this thread.

Do I believe in democracy? Yes I do, however what exactly democracy is up for debate that should be left for another thread or private conversation so this thread can get back on topic.

now, skipping over your understanding on the geo-politics in this part of the world, lets cut to the chase of your personal attacks:

do you live in russia / china / iran ? if not, they're the same.

do you usually make such assumptions? if so, let me know, so i can ignore you now

Quote:
> What my exact beliefs are is not the issue in this thread are they?
i asked you a question based on your vague insinuations that people are 'admitting' to things

do you have a problem with that?

if so, why are you on the internet?

if you do, how can it be 'annexation' or 'territory takeover'?

it's a vote. they voted to leave the Ukraine, and requested to join russia.

for the record, the word you and they are looking for is 'amalgamation'

but it makes for shitty fox news headlines
