Mao didn't put millions to the sword. His stupid policies killed millions with famine. THere's a difference. Anyone of any political ideology could make a ****up like he did with enough power. China had a famine that killed around the same number of people in the early 20th Century too. They were ran by Qing imperial dynasty then. 10 million or os died in the South Indian Famines in the late 1800s.

Heck between Indian Famines and Irish famine, Britain probably is approaching Stalin levels of famine deaths.

SO what you're saying is that the very system of communism (taking power away from the individual) that led to that famine shouldn't negatively impact communism itself.

Gotcha.

The people that can't do anything for themselves surely do love some Marxism.

was it a gaffe ?

2012 he " gaffed " the country into accepting gay marriage
they walked that back too.

Time will tell.
Foreign speeches are filled with signals / hidden messages and
things of this nature are rarely what they seem.

I have read the Macron statements are a good cop / bad cop routine
we will see.

I still view our policy concerning Russia as containment.
Regime change would require occupation or very very heavy espionage
inside of Russia, history has never view that well.

I am old enough to remember Reagan " gaffing" about sending bombers over USSR

It was idiotic either way. When your whole administration is in the middle of a 48 hour fire drill to soften the blowback from your “””””””””gaffe””””””””””””, it’s probably not well thought out either way.
 
Every single move since 2014 was about regime change in Russia.

Don't let anyone kid you. This is what the US does best....

If that's the cause of Famine how did it happen in Imperialist china? How did it happen in East India Trading Company Ran India?

Spoken like a true Putin cuck.

It is a fact that a large portion of Ukraines fighting force are Nazis. You are cheering for them.

I however am not cheering for anyone and wanted the fighting to end ASAP.

I feel good about the positions that I've taken.

It was the specific cause of famine in Mao's China.

That doesn't make it so that the others didn't have different reasons.

Sorry thats difficult for you to understand.

He needs communism (allocation of opportunity for reasons other than merit) to survive. Why would you expect him to do anything different?

I recognize that many liberals inherently desire the communist tendencies... but more are smart enough to not openly defend an ideology that has resulted in the deaths of over 100 million people
 
I've heard lots of people on the US side mention false flags with chemical weapons.....

Get those Pom Poms out while not ever be willing to send your own blood overseas.

VERY BRAVE!!!
 
Nothing worse than an old person cheering on young people to die in a war when that same person wanted to force young people to not live their lives during peacetime because he was afraid of the flu.

Truly the most pathetic of a person as it gets.
