But this was US interference with another country's internal affairs. guillaumeb Aug 2017 #1

did you forget the sarcasm smiley?? Angry Dragon Aug 2017 #2

Really? 65 years and 11 Presidents later this justifies Russia interfering in our election? stevenleser Aug 2017 #4

Sorry, but I have to disagree. Xolodno Aug 2017 #7

65 years later that doesn't work. 20 years later is even pushing it stevenleser Aug 2017 #9

Your entitled to your view. Xolodno Aug 2017 #12

The turks deny the genocide. That's the issue. More accurate would be an attack on germany JI7 Aug 2017 #15

That is a very bad example. Lordquinton Aug 2017 #26

6 million jews and more eere targeted and killed JI7 Aug 2017 #30

But a response was done Lordquinton Aug 2017 #37

6 million dead. Why do iranian americans and vietnamese JI7 Aug 2017 #39

So how should we punish Germany? Lordquinton Aug 2017 #44

So, using your logic, black people in the US should just get over the whole slavery thing then? WoonTars Aug 2017 #13

No. The logic would work if black people were trying to do something bad today JI7 Aug 2017 #16

But that's not what the poster said... WoonTars Aug 2017 #20

The issue is about excusing what russia did. So the comparison JI7 Aug 2017 #21

No one is excusing Russia. Xolodno Aug 2017 #35

Yes they are. The first response was about defending the russian hack JI7 Aug 2017 #36

Again, no it wasn't Lordquinton Aug 2017 #49

Exactly. We're supposed to not be able to say anything about the Russian hack because of Iran. stevenleser Aug 2017 #56

Laughable. Xolodno Aug 2017 #61

Right on target. guillaumeb Aug 2017 #29

There are vietnamese americans just like iranian americans who were hurt by the election hack JI7 Aug 2017 #31

no. but it sure makes our white hot rage shanny Aug 2017 #8

No, it doesn't. See my #9 aboveregarding who was around. nt stevenleser Aug 2017 #10

Very convenient for your argument shanny Aug 2017 #14

I guess you agree just fine with treating merkel like because it's nowhere near as bad as what hitle JI7 Aug 2017 #19

Wot? shanny Aug 2017 #22

But what about....... JI7 Aug 2017 #23

are you trying to make a point? shanny Aug 2017 #24

Exactly. Most iranian americans supported Clinton JI7 Aug 2017 #18

So what you're saying is that you see no connection between events? Lordquinton Aug 2017 #25

So russia hacked the US because of Iran ? Russia which never invaded a country before JI7 Aug 2017 #27

Russia never invaded a country? Lordquinton Aug 2017 #38

It was sarcasm JI7 Aug 2017 #40

So what's your point then? Lordquinton Aug 2017 #41

My family immigrated from a country which was a colony JI7 Aug 2017 #42

You seem to be having a separate conversation from what's actually being discussed Lordquinton Aug 2017 #43

I never excuse the US . Which is why i have no sympathy for the trash that voted for trump JI7 Aug 2017 #46

No, it really wasn't Lordquinton Aug 2017 #48

What the Nazis did was fucked up and germany was not punished for it JI7 Aug 2017 #50

How does that relate to the topic at hand? Lordquinton Aug 2017 #51

How does it not ? It shows dishonesty inn the so called concern of some JI7 Aug 2017 #52

Well, no it doesn't Lordquinton Aug 2017 #54

Yup. Whataboutism is dishonest from the get go. You can't make whataboutism into a stevenleser Aug 2017 #59

Agreed. eom guillaumeb Aug 2017 #34

So all of the US interference is somehow excused or not subject for discussion guillaumeb Aug 2017 #28

No. We will just call out the bs of it begging used to defend shit done by russia and others JI7 Aug 2017 #32

It is not a defense of Russian interference, guillaumeb Aug 2017 #33

Yes, your first comment was a whataboutism attempting to do just that. nt stevenleser Aug 2017 #58

On my part, it is not a defense of anything, guillaumeb Aug 2017 #63

Nope. If you want to discuss what you think are bad acts by the US, then discuss bad acts by the US. stevenleser Aug 2017 #57

Wait you actually believe the US stopped intervening in other countries? malaise Aug 2017 #45

No, justifying Russian murders is "anti-war" BainsBane Aug 2017 #17

Not only that JI7 Aug 2017 #53

I was only 12. I was in the 6th grade. It wasn't my fault. trof Aug 2017 #47
