The US is supposed to be the good guy, remember? A good guy doesn't illegally invade over 70 countries, pretending to save them while murdering tens of millions just to steal the bread from children's mouths. Is this a good guy? Americans are racists! They committed one of the largest genocides in world history and it continues to this day. Can you imagine how many Blacks would be alive if they hadn't had a dollar value as slaves.

South Vietnam never existed. It was a US puppet creation just like all the other US brutal, vicious, RIGHT wing dictatorships the US has supported and supports around the world. The people of the south hated the Americans as much as those of the north. They both wanted them out of their country. Eisenhower knew full well that the people of Vietnam wanted Ho Chi Minh as their leader because he wanted the independence of Vietnam from the ugly Europeans that has been raping and pillaging. So the US scuttled planned UN elections. The US fought their "war" against the people of the south, which was why the US turned to genocide to try to make their evil dominate. What's new about that?

Neither R or C have over 70 illegal invasions under their belt since WWII. Obama kept the Bush war crimes in progress right up to the time he left office. He invaded Libya and he has been trying to overthrow the Syrian government since he came to power. He orchestrated the overthrow of Ukraine's government.

That too is covered in the article. You should read it. And ponder, if the USA can declare the entire western hemisphere as their private plunder zone, why should Russia or any other big power let the US into their area? America was the illegal invader in Vietnam, Korea, Cambodia, Laos, ... . R and C helped those countries dump the predators and then they went home.

You've got to read some history, C.

Those things only matter to those who are human.

You obviously have no grasp of the concept of personal freedom. You, and yours, are trying to describe things for others that you have long tolerated in many sectors of Canadian society. You and yours have not spoken out against the missing and murdered First Nations women because they don't even appear on your radar screen. You and yours speak out now, for, as you described, irrational fears about terrorism for you poor poor Canadians who have been supporting terrorism like you will never see against myriad peoples around the world.

You can't help yourself, Rue, so there is zero likelihood of you helping anyone else. I had to go back to see what deception you were trying to pull off. That response was to DoP's terrible "scholarship". Dop uses the Koran to justify Islamaphobia. And you and a lot more jump on the bandwagon. That anyone can be so willfully blind to the real reasons that western nations are receiving CIA promised "blowback" is stunning in its audacity. You "saints" were not doing this dog and pony show until the US government pulled off another of its famous false flag events to create for themselves a new boogeyman. And just like all good dupes, out came the Islamaphobes.

Have you only just started seeing this?

You noticed that too eh, Omni.

That was only two of the more than 70 US illegal invasions of sovereign nations since WWII. Russia and China are definitely better than the US. They aren't perfect for sure. Both R and C, as noted by a number of US writers, are the go to countries to help liberate people. They both aided Korea and Vietnam in throwing out the invading hordes of Americans/Australians/... . Then China and Russia went home, they didn't try to over run Korea and Vietnam, subjugate the people and rape and pillage those countries. When they easily could have. Russia was forced/tricked into invading Afghanistan by the US who were very comfortable with using the Afghan people to "give the USSR its own Vietnam". The US knew that a million or two Afghan lives would be lost but they "were comfortable" with those numbers.

"... and showing the Statue of Liberty as a skull". That is a VERY accurate portrayal of the Statue of "Liberty" just for the numbers murdered and tortured in Iran itself. The New York Times is Propaganda Central! What part of the US overthrew the democratically elected Iranian government in 1954 and installed one of their trademark brutal, vicious right wing dictators, doesn't Kristof get, Spanky? NOTE the bastion of freedom and democracy, the USA, ALWAYS installs brutal, vicious right wing, aka conservative, dictators,

No, you weren't out of line, James. How we react to things is a lot of who we are and what we have been exposed to. Illegal wars are defined, were defined by the Nuremberg Standards, largely a concoction of the USA/Justice Robert Jackson. ...

You failed to note that there were extensive links within that article, James. “Hitler’s concept of concentration camps as well as the practicality of genocide owed much, so he claimed, to his studies of English and United States history. He admired the camps for Boer prisoners in South Africa and for the Indians in the wild west; and often praised to his inner circle the efficiency of America’s extermination – by starvation and uneven combat – of the red savages who could not be tamed by captivity.” — P. 202, “Adolph Hitler” by John Toland

It is a newly discovered group of super explosives found by US scientists from the Lawrence Livermore Labs. Normal thermite is made by grinding the components down to sand sized particles and smaller. Nanothermite is made by building it up at the nano scale. This makes the particle sizes nano sized, which means around one billionth of a meter. Which is what makes it a SUPER explosive! To get some perspective on size that means that in one cubic millimeter [1/25.4 of an inch] there are a minimum of 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 particles of thermite which, again, is what gives nanothermite its super explosive power. The crucial thing about this nanothermite is that it is a US government proprietary, non-commercially available explosive, ie. no one has access to it except the US government. The even more crucial thing is that nanothermite was found in WTC dust. Unreacted particles that exploded upon being heated and the reaction had the same chemical signature as regular thermite. This is the only thing that can account for the volumes of molten and vaporized steel found at WTC. Unlimited amounts of jet fuel and office furnishings burning for months on end cannot melt or vaporize steel. That means that Arab hijackers did not cause the collapses of WTCs 1, 2 & 7. You can read about nanothermite for yourself, capricorn. Described by Lawrence Livermore Lab scientists.

Not at all irrelevant. Do you deny that US government scientists discovered nanothermite in the 1990s? Do you deny that nanothermite was found in WTC dust?

What kind of a scientist would throw up a stupid, overly simplistic equation that only reveals how deeply that "scientist" is into denying reality? Additional explosives were found at WTC. Do you deny that US government scientists discovered nanothermite in the 1990s? Do you deny that nanothermite was found in WTC dust?

You raise some good points, Betsy. US Terrorist Deaths Caused Vietnam 3 million / Korea 3 million / Cambodia 1 million / Indonesia 1 million / Laos 700,000 / Iraq 1 million plus / Afghanistan ???

You make spurious claims to be a scientist when you don't/have never acted like one. Do you deny that US government scientists discovered nanothermite in the 1990s?

Do you deny that US government scientists discovered nanothermite in the 1990s?

Do you deny that US government scientists discovered nanothermite in the 1990s?

Do you deny the existence of nanothermite developed by US scientists in the 1990s?

Do you deny the existence of nanothermite developed by US scientists in the 1990s?

Such great science, Army Guy. Very impressive. Note that what all you folks do is personal attacks. Why are you so afraid of the science? You all know why and that doesn't say much about you. Do you deny the existence of nanothermite developed by US scientists in the 1990s?
