No, it's a fascist dictatorship and has been since Yeltsin seized power and rewrote the constitution by shelling the parliament in '93.

Damn, you seem really fond of dictators who used chemical weapons to wipe out entire villages of their own civilians for some reason.

The United States intervened to prevent a totalitarian takeover of South Vietnam.

Wtf are you talking about, you brought it up as a what about argument, you fucking weirdo.

K. @bobwaltzer.bsky.social · 19h

Nope.

Again, the U.S. rationale for the war is explicitly spelled out in the AUMF. You can invent all of the reasons you want, but the fact of the matter is that Saddam violated the Gulf War ceasefire repeatedly over a decade, and if he had not we would not have invaded.

You seem very dense. You should really read those UN resolutions and the AUMF. You will find that Iraq violated the Gulf War ceasefire repeatedly over a decade by not allowing inspections and that the U.S. cited those violations in the AUMF. Those are facts anyone can easily look up.

True, given that NAFO members must provide evidence of donation to a Ukrainian charity and request a Shiba Inu avatar to join NAFO and they almost all use the avatar in their pfp or display it on their profile, yet you believe I am NAFO without any evidence. I never joined.

Iraq's violations of the Gulf War ceasefire are documented by UN resolutions 687, 699, 707, 715, 949, 1051, 1060, 1115, 1134, 1137, 1154, 1194, 1205, and 1284. The violations of the ceasefire are explicitly cited in the AUMF. Whether you support the war or not, those are facts.

I'm an omniscient Spanish omelet floating just out of your vision. Woah, you can just say things that aren't true.

I joined social media to watch the inevitable collapse of the Russian empire, tbh.

It makes you bad at pretending to be a native English speaker.

K. @bobwaltzer.bsky.social · 19h

In the original conversation, he claimed Iraq never violated the Gulf War ceasefire, even after I listed UN resolutions documenting Iraq’s violations over a decade and denied they were a causal factor in the war after I noted they’re cited in the AUMF, so I’m pretty sure I won that argument too.

Nope, it remains a category error which is inherently not in context.

K. @bobwaltzer.bsky.social · 20h

Nah, it makes complete contextual sense.

I'm more of a Blackbird guy, but the P-38 is also based.

Me pretending to think someone is the president of Russia without evidence to illustrate how silly it is that they think I'm NAFO without evidence is racist... how exactly?

K. @bobwaltzer.bsky.social · 20h

It's a category error with very basic words. It is simply not typical of native English speakers, factually.

3

K. @bobwaltzer.bsky.social · 20h

Yes, making errors not typical of a native English speaker primarily suggests that you are not a native English speaker. Promptly lying in response and claiming to be a "native English speaker" "from DC" suggests they are likely not in the U.S.

K. @bobwaltzer.bsky.social · 20h

Not supported by any empirical evidence, only by your personal anecdote.

K. @bobwaltzer.bsky.social · 20h

I have no idea.

What racism, where?

Dyslexia primarily affects phonological processing and visual sequencing, not grammatical category awareness. Dyslexic errors tend to involve graphemic similarity or reversals, not choosing an entirely different, valid English word that changes grammatical structure, lil buddy.
