Thank you Navigator for defending the country.
I think some people get confused or they learned it wrong, or they are manipulating facts. The United States is not a perfect country, but it is the best country. That’s why people flock to it. It has never been perfect but it has always been the best. Warts and all. It is the most beautiful place in the world to call home.
Thanks again. It was a lovely post.

I was hoping that someone else would have attacked this baloney earlier, but it cannot go unanswered as this type of Anti-American misinformation and one-sided self-hatred has been going on in America since the Vietnam War.

Thank you for the post, Navi.

I stopped reading posts by certain posters a while ago. I didn't even read burner Prime's last one entirely. Less than half way through, I stopped. It's Russian boiler plate stuff.

Yes, you're right. Posters like Burner Prime, Dakardi, and thomaslee are just anti-American for a variety of reasons. I'm not interested in listening to anymore of their anti-American babble. I'm convinced the Burner Prime is Russian (or maybe Serbian). Darkdi is clueless and thomaslee is just hates Biden and the Democrats (So do I, but I not going to passively watch my country burn). A lot of the other guest posters are obviously Russian trolls, as other posters have pointed out.

I will fight, not hide, but, as John has said so many times, I too hope to die as quickly and painlessly as possible.

— The US embassy in Russia cautioned Americans in Russia on Sunday to have evacuation plans from the country, citing the threat of attacks in Moscow and along the Russian border with Ukraine - Reuters

From the New York Times article itself:
— Pentagon & US intel officials describe the “worst-case scenario” they now believe is likely in Kyiv/Kiev Ukraine, over how Russians would supposedly seize the Capital, being the options:
1 — Terror: 1-2 weeks of constant rocket and missile attacks
2 — Street fighting (Similar to Grozny), that is, ground invade the capital and face the city Defense forces and start a Siege
3 — Hunt: Special Forces infiltrate and hunt any important figure who supported the democratically elected Government of Zelensky (id est, kill lists focused on Members of Government, Think Tanks, MPs and Proeminent figures in Ukrainian Society)

Quoting from the Foreign Policy Magazine article:

Biden administration was "startled" by how formalized Russia's kill lists are, targeting:

— Russian Dissidents (Probably Navalny supporters, Libertarians, and Liberals)
— Belarusian Dissidents and Opposition members
— Ukrainian Journalists
— Anti-corruption activists
— Religious and ethnic minorities (Ukraine has Proeminent Jewish & Tatar communities, such as Churches, backed by US, which currently are in schism against Russian Orthodox Church) — "LGBTQI+" persons and leaders

Washington Post | U.S. claims Russia has list of Ukrainians ‘to be killed or sent to camps’ following a military occupation | 20-02-22
— "The United States has informed the United Nations it has credible information showing that Moscow is compiling lists of Ukrainians “to be killed or sent to camps following a military occupation,” according to a letter to the U.N. human rights chief obtained by The Washington Post on Sunday night.

The letter alleges that Moscow’s post-invasion planning would involve torture, forced disappearances and “widespread human suffering.” It does not describe the nature of the intelligence that undergirds its assessment."

In other words for readers to lazy to read more than 2 lines:
— American Media is unironically trying to accuse Putin and Russian Government of causing a Second Holocaust/Holodomor.

That's considering that the war hasn't even started.

Currently, the biggest problem for the NA community is alcoholism.

I read an interesting theory about this. It is that Eastern Hemisphere had 6000 years of urban civilization that featured concentrated populations. This means epidemic diseases, especially water borne. So the people of the Old World used alcoholic beverages (it's better to die of cirrhosis in your sixties than typhoid in your twenties). So there were 300 generations selecting for a partial tolerance for alcohol that NA did not have. The NA are descended from a small founder population with greater sensitivity to alcohol.

From today's Daily Telegraph:

Wallace says Russia has a ‘gun to the head’ of Ukraine, after Jeremy Corbyn calls for ‘reduction in Nato presence’
Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said Russia has put a gun to the head of Ukraine's government, following a question from former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn about whether he would accept a reduction in Nato troops on the border if Russia pulled back.

Mr Corbyn, independent MP for Islington North, asked in the Commons: "Would he be prepared to countenance, if the Russians pulled back, any reduction in the Nato presence on the border as well in order to bring about a longer-term secure peace in the region?"

Mr Wallace said: "We didn't put 165,000 combat troops on the edge of a sovereign country and hold a gun to the head of a democratically elected government.

"We didn't do that. Russia did that. We have nothing to deescalate from, Russia does."

He added that he hoped Mr Corbyn "might condemn the Stop The War Coalition, who seem to always us paint us as the aggressor. Maybe he'd like to go and ask the people of Ukraine... who the aggressor is".

Russian spy chief’s nervous television appearance
Russia’s spy chief was shown on television stuttering and seemingly lost for words when he made a slip about annexing Ukraine’s separatist-held areas, reports Nataliya Vasilyeva.

The highly orchestrated ad-hoc session of Russia’s Security Council that was televised on all major Russian TV channels exposed a genuine nervousness of the Russian elite about growing tensions with the West.

Sergei Naryshkin, head of Russia’s much feared intelligence agency SVR and one of the country’s most influential men, was one of two dozen officials who presented their reports to President Putin on whether Russia should recognise separatist governments in Donetsk and Luhansk.

Mr Naryshkin, whose spy agency has been accused by the Western intelligence of pulling out daring operations including massive cyber-attacks, said he agreed with the previous speaker and said Russia should give the West “one last chance to get Kyiv to seek peace and comply with the Minsk agreement.”

When President Putin asked his long-time ally with a smirk: “Do you want to recognise their sovereignty or do you want to launch talks?” Mr Naryshkin struggled with words and stuttered, prompting Mr Putin to say: “Speak up!”

The spy chief kept stuttering.

“I support the proposal for the Donetsk and Luhansk’s People’s Republics to join the Russian Federation,” Mr Naryshkin managed to say.

Mr Putin laughed and shook his head: “We’re not talking about it, we’re not debating it. We’re talking about whether to recognise their independence or not.’

A visibly shaken Mr Naryshkin nodded: “Yes.”
