International Issues

 International issues (war/international relations/issues in other countries etc)

Military/Isolationism/Wars in general

I am anti war most of the time but I am anti war for the reasons that Mark Twain was anti war (Lockean love of liberty and anti government)   

Since I am defacto anti war/not supportive of wars, I am by default against all countries on Earth going to war/me non supportive of all countries on Earth going to war . For example, after the outbreak of each war I check to see if an extremely rare and overwhelming case for me supporting that war being waged exists and if it doesn't I keep my default anti war/not supportive position on that war. It takes more for me to support a war than for me to not condemn a war. I haven't supported a war since I supported the Iraq War in early 2003 (before changing my mind in March 2003 and being against the Iraq War)

I am very pro Military and very pro Veteran despite being anti war.  We shouldn't lower the standards for our military front lines. 

If people can't compete on the front lines, they should learn to get tougher to overcome it, not have the standards lowered for them. 

I am against Imperialism (though I am morally [moral as in moral victory] tolerant of the US's creation of Liberia since it was at worst one of the least offensive acts of Imperialism)

I am against the Open Sky Treaties

I am neutral on US Isolationism

I am a friendly Non Interventionist 

I admit I view at least a few US interventions in other countries being something that is in between being 1980s anti villainish and being a silver lining in showing that the US isn't afraid to do un pc things like intervening in the affairs of other countries even though said acts are still wrong and warmongering.

I do not support Globalism (many unions are against). I much prefer radical localism

I was and still am against the Patriot Act

I do not agree with Sully's view that  Donald Trump showed 'utter and vulgar disrespect and contempt' for US troops past and present. Trump treated the US military mostly decent to good as President. The Atlantic's report that Donald Trump had called WWI heroes 'suckers' and 'losers' is FAKE NEWS and NOT TRUE AT ALL.   Sully has to admit that Barack Obama was either the same, not much better or worse as President for our military than Donald Trump and that Jesse Ventura's comments about our military is as bad or worse than anything that Donald Trump ever said about them as President.

Israel-Palestine

I am pro Israel (I am Jewish), and I see leftist anti semetism as a silver lining (even though I abhor them for their comments toward us), in that it shows that those left anti semeites are in need of being made to be pro Israel (due to their embarssing statements on us).  Once we flip them to being pro Israel, we gain more Pro Israel allies on the much needed left.  

I empathize with this view:  Israel should consider going back to being as big as it was when it was the Kingdom of Israel united monarchy (the united Kingdom of Israel under David and Solomon in the bible) and allowing Palestanians and displaced groups to live client states within that reborn Kingdom of Israel in areas where there were client states in the Kingdom of Israel united Monarchy in the bible.Moreover in this Kingdom of Israel , there would be a fusion of something between Far center Nationalism and Left Wing Nationalism with Imperialism

I am somewhere between where Jerry Nadler is on the Israel-Palestine conflict and being mixed to conditionally firmly Pro Israel on the Israel-Palestinian conflict  I have no problem with the Embassy being moved to Jerusalem, though I prefer it gets moved to Shiloh instead (but via a Donald Trump type 'let's make a deal' so Palestinians get something for giving up Shiloh to the Jews). 

I support a modern day Canaanism movement.  If that Canaanism movement came back and tried to claim Israel/Palestine areas etc, I would fully support those modern day Canaanites over the Israelis and Palestinians and I would root for the Canaanites in that situation like pro Palestinian people root for the Palestinians and Zionists root for the Israelis (but I would prefer post war violence type methods that are no less harsh despite being non violent.

I favor a two state solution in Israel/Palestine that benefits both Israel and Palestinians equally

I do view the Palestinians as Pitiful Hero Antagonists or maybe even more. I feel this way when I see brutality done on innocent Palestinians.

I firmly believe that Rashida Tlaib should not have given in to far left  anti Israel bullies and she should have went to Israel/Palestine as she planned

China/Russia

The 2022 Winter Olympics being played on schedule while the 2020 Summer Olympics weren't played on schedule seems hypocritical. I am against boycotting sporting events and I would not have encouraged anyone to boycott the 2022 Winter Olympics but at the same time I am fine with people boycotting the 2022 Winter Olympics.

We have to stop China from negatively influencing our media and academic institutions

China is very wrong for their 1 2 3 child policies, for employing Communism, and for being anti Christian. Moreover they are wrong for propping up Mao Zedong who was a fascist and a dictator (dictator of the proclyte at best) who committed senseless murders on innocent victims. He gets a D---- grade at BEST and mostly because of what he did at the start of his run as leader of China. Every statue of Mao Zedong should be destroyed in China and kids should be taught he was a monster. I am also against China's social credit system.

I am apolitical on China's pandemic laws etc.

I am apolitical-syncretic on high tariffs against China

I condemn China for getting involved in the US 2020 racial unrest situations. I also strongly condemn  China for trying to make our children in this country woke through cultural marxist propaganda

Whether China did genocide to Uyghurs or not is moot, China still committed human rights violations against them, did indefensible acts against them and thus they are very wrong to treat the Uyghurs the way they did. But if people want to call it a genocide, no skin off my teeth. 

If China didn't want the Uyghurs living in China, China could have given the areas where the Uyghurs were living to countries like Kyrgyzstan ,Kazakhstan and Mongolia or make the areas where the Uyghurs were living an Independent country. Then China could have built borders around China and that area. 

China using forced labor is wrong. Just because American companies do it doesn't mean China should too. 2 wrongs don't make a right. China should pay their laborers fairly. 

Instead of using forced labor, China should use Pronoia for all of their laborers that do work that forced laborers currently do (and they should pay those laborers like workers under Pronoia were paid)

I believe sanctioning China for the Uyghur situation or any reason is wrong, but I won't complain if China is sanctioned. I trust China will continue to get better as a country like they always have but I am concerned over some of the things I heard about them. I do believe that pushing China in that direction of getting better is a must.

I want Hong Kong to be an Autonomous Republic of China (like Crimea is or was to Ukraine). 

I support Taiwan being Independent but being a Satellite (client) state of China like the Eastern Bloc during the Cold War were Satellite (client) states to the USSR

I was against the Nuclear Freeze in the 1980s and early 1990s only because I knew that the US having Nuclear weapons was to prevent the Soviet Union from using their Nuclear weapons. To this day I am still against a Nuclear Freeze due to countries like Russia, Iran and North Korea having Nuclear weapons. I want a world free of Nuclear Weapons but I will not support a Nuclear Freeze until countries like Russia, Iran and North Korea also agree to give up their Nuclear Weapons too. I do not want a Nuclear war. Nancy Reagan said this view is a Nuclear Abolitionist view 

The Soviet Union was State Socialist or Socialist from the 1920s to 1991 and anyone who says otherwise is a conspiracy theorist who is trying to rewrite history to shield Socialism from the atrocities committed in the Soviet Union. 

Arthur Rosenberg and Ethel Rosenberg were TRAITORS and they should have spent many decades in prison for their treason instead of being executed.  They were traitors to the US and the world, their treason cost millions of Americans their lives fighting in Korea. They sold the US out and they are 2 of the biggest disgraces in the history of the US.

While I don't support Russia's invasion of Ukraine, I am not going to condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine either .It's not America's problem. Let's stop all of this US interventionalism and let other countries handle their own problems

The US and Europe should try to de escalate the Russia-Ukraine crisis instead of inflaming it

I was and I am still against Ukraine joining NATO

I support Crimea having self determination

Ukraine deserves criticism for not developing Donbas and leaving it open to Russia and other forces

I am against the Maidan Coup which was an illegal act which removed a legit elected head of state

I oscillate between me being wanting the People's Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk to be as part of and to Ukraine as Native American reservations in the United States are as part of and to the United States, me wanting the People's Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk to become an autonomous dependant territory of Ukraine (like Puerto Rico and the North Mariana Islands are autonomous dependant territories of the US) instead of being Independant or a province of Ukraine or being part of Russia and me having a fifth political position on that issue. In any case, The People's Republic of Donetsk and Lugansk (if its controlled by Ukraine) should have a relationship with Russia that is between the relationship those areas had as part of Ukraine with Russia under Viktor Yanukovych and the relationship that the United States has with Britain since the US since the late 18th century.

The US should not have sanctioned Russia. However, if the US secretly sanctioned Russia like the US using the same secreacy they used in the 1980s when they secretly shipped weapons to Iran during the Iran Contra scandal, I would be pretty open to supporting that or even being able to live with those secret sanctions against Russia but its none of our business, lets focus on the US. Let them deal with their own issues

I am fully against companies (like Big Tech) suspending their products and services to Russia. Russian citizens are being wrongly and punitively penalized because of their government.  I call for a full boycott of every company who engages in these acts They never did this to Muslims in countries where ISIS or Al Qaeda are from, yet they do it with Russia? Hypocrite much. History will condemn Google, Microsoft, Sony for their actions with Russia. It goes against human decency, will only make Russians hate those companies and won't do anything.   Hurting innocent people through refusing them service to force them to have the view you want is fascist and evil

I hope the US and European sanctions and some penalties against Russia stay forever. Not because of the war in Ukraine but because it would be hypocritical to make such sanctions and some such penalties against them and then end those sanctions and some of those penalties at a later time and pretend everything is normal. I don't agree with the sanctions and penalties but since they are made most of them should stick.

I am 100 percent against the US sending troops to go to war with Russia under any circumstance barring a direct hit from Russia on our soil. I am 100 percent against the US using a no fly zone against Russia

I believe that the we should hack the bank accounts of Russian Olyriachs and force them to be bankrupt for the rest of their lives. Not because of Russia's war with Ukraine and not for any political reason but simply because they are too rich and nobody should have that much money. If we can force them into bankruptcy we can have a slow trickle effect which leads to less wealth hoarding by filthy rich trolls.  No more yachts for them ,no more vacations for them, force them to live like the rest of us. They are easy and acceptable targets

It is hypocritical and wrong to ban innocent Russians from entering other countries .Liberals cried over a Muslim travel ban by Donald Trump during the reign of ISIS yet they applaud this? Hypocrite much.  I believe banning innocent Russians from going to other countries because of Russia going to war with Ukraine is wrong, senseless and fascist and is just as bad as Donald Trump's Muslim travel ban in 2017.   I hope all Russians permanelty boycott the US and all countries that banned flights to and from Russia.

Some Russians have been unfairly fired due to their place of origin by fascist Russophobes. Their firings are a violation of Employement Acts ,since they were singled out due to their place of origin. These Russians being unfairly fired is akin to McCarthysim or what the US did to Japanese Americans right after Pearl Harbor. Freedom of speech means telling people what they don't want to hear. We must end extreme cancel culture and modern day McCarthyism

I am against Anna Nebretko getting fired by the Metropolitian Opera House. There was no reason to fire her and Peter Gelb should be fired on the spot for what he did.

I am against the Bolshoi Ballet being fired. They did nothing wrong and they were unfairly fired for no reason. 

The Steele Dosier was false

Middle East/North Africa/Central Asia

Muslim world in general

Islam is no better or worse than any other religion (However, Judeo Chrisitanity which according to God is the only way to Christ and Eternal Salvation though Islam does share a Abrahamaniac link to Judeo Christianity) 

Muslims should convert to Christianity but who knows , maybe there is a chance if Muslims stay true to Islam, God will allow them to go to heaven in the same way he may allows Jewish people who stay true to Judaism to go to heaven 

Islam has good and bad like any other religion. Not all criticism of Islam is Islamaphobic and some criticism of Islam is genuine and constructive.  Some sects of Islam do treat women and LGBTQ people unfairly which is wrong.  People should avoid criticizing things in Islam that they don't understand because if they don't avoid doing that, they'll look ignorant .People should only criticize Islam in a genuine, constructive way that is free of malice.

I am a huge fan of Quilliam. Quilliam echoes some of my view on Islam and Muslims

I believe people should criticize Islam and every religion since no religion should be off limits.

I am against France and other countries banning Muslim women from wearing Burkinis and Burqas. There is nothing wrong with Muslim wearing Burkinis or Burqas. I support Muslim women wearing Burkinis and Burqas.  France and other countries are trying to control what Muslim women wear while allegedly trying to stop Muslim women from being 'forced' to wear Burkinis and Burqas. In fact it is a myth . Muslim women are NOT forced to wear Burqas and Burkinis. They wear those things voluntarily and out of love for their religion 

To play begruding Devil's Advocate I do understand why there are anti Muslim clothing laws. Because Europe allows in so many refugees and migrants from the Middle East or elsewhere, that makes them create those draconian laws so Muslims can assimilate into their countries and not cause issues. Those laws to them also helps make liberals, conservatives and feminist Muslims happy and united while allowing Muslims to live in Europe without being deported and denied entry. But the counter to this is, making believe the anti Islam law makers in Europe are right on their laws, it's only a bandaid and not a solution.  To truly fix this, either ditch those anti Muslim dress laws and treat Muslims like the US treats migrants under non Xenophobic Presidents (respect their freedoms, let them assimilate naturally etc) or find ways to tighten migration to Europe and increase deporations.

I respect religious clothing customs

This article echos my feelings about the Clock boy incident from 2015: https://web.archive.org/web/20190205021737/https://dailycaller.com/2015/09/28/on-ahmeds-clock-president-obama-once-again-spoke-too-soon/

I was and still am against Donald Trump's Muslim travel ban

I support Left Wing Manosphere in Muslim countries

I am against the Netherland's Islampahobia and racism toward Arabs. The Dutch to need to stop their bigoted acts

I have been pro Muslims since 9/11. I am appalled that Muslims were and are stereotyped and labeled as terrorists since 9/11 (especially right after 9/11 and in the age of ISIS). The vast majority of Muslims are not terrorists and only a fringe part of some sects of Islam are terrorists. I do think that Muslims should try to counter Islamaphobia in a peaceful, educational and edifying sort of way instead of lowering themselves to the Islamaphobes level.  Parents and some Trump supporters have been similarly smeared by our government as terrorists which is similarly wrong.

I don't believe the October 31 2018 truck attack in NYC or the Swedish truck attack in 2017 were terrorist attacks or Islamic extremism. I am not even that sure that the 2016 Nice lorre attacks were terrorism or Islamic extremism (or at least I am not that sure if terrorism/Islamic extremism was the primary motive of the attacks). Saying that every time a Muslim commits mass murder is terrorism or Islamic extremism is bigoted, ignorant, naive and offensive.  However, on the flip side, a few attacks by Muslims that are not labele as terrorism/Islamic extremism are technically terrorism or Islamic extremism (the Fort Hood shooting for example). But there are noticeably many more times Muslims committing crimes are falsely accused of terrorism/Islamic extremism than there are times when Muslims do commit terrorist or Islamic extremist attacks and said attacks are not labeled as terrorism/Islamic extremism. Moreover a lot of Muslims who commit murders whether they are labeled as terrorism are not, are really Atheists and not really Muslim.

Christians who are killed in the Middle East by ISIS should always be labeled as Christians instead of worshippers by the media and politicians.

Iran/Syria/Libya/Iraq/Afghanistan

Donald Trump did nothing wrong by his targeted killing of Qasem Soleimani. Ideally it would have been better if he captured Soleimani and put him in prison for at least a few decades, but he is a terrorist. I am not enthused about the killing however and it is the reason why I hate war and countries being big brother to other countries but it was neccessary.

I fully support Donald Trump withdrawing the US from Syria in 2019 as that was the right move to make

I was and still am against the Libya War (the one under Barack Obama)

I was and still am against the Iraq War (I was for it until late March 2003 then I became permanently against it). 

Instead of going to war with Iraq , I believe the US should have instead risen up American domestic groups from within the US to be violent non-state actors for the US in Iraq and to carry out operations for the US in Iraq .Basically these violent non-state actors of the US would do what George W Bush wanted to be done in Iraq independent of our military and without our military getting involved in the operations.  This would be similar to how the Hezbollah in Lebanon and the LTTE in Sri Lanka were risen up by countries to be violent non-state actors for them despite Hezbollah and LTTE not being official military units of said countries

I am also mixed to against on repealing the 2002 Iraq War resolution

I support the Iraq War troop surge by George W Bush in 2007. It was a smart strategy and helped turn the war around for us.

Chris Kyle was a war hero and his movie was not offensive at all

I more than supported the UN sanctions against Iraq in the 1990s and I firmly don't regret supporting those sanctions at all. I believe its good that the UN sanctioned Iraq in the 1990s since Iraq really deserved those sanctions. 

The Gulf War was justifable (which doesn't necessarily mean I suppor(ed) it)

I supported the Afghanistan War but we should have pulled out of Afghanistan in 2009 or in 2012

I am against the way that Joe Biden handled Afghanistan including his botched withdrawal of our troops in Afghanistan

Asia conflict issues

I  do not condemn the 2021 coup de tat in Myanmar ,its none of my business

I support the way that Donald Trump handled North Korea

I would have been against the Vietnam War after initially supporting it until c 1967 if I was around back then and I've been against that war my whole life (though I am against some far left parts of the anti war movement and against the hate that the veterans got from anti war people)  

The Swift Boat veterans may have been at least somewhat correct in their attacks on John Kerry

I am between being against the US going to war with the Philippines in the Philippine-American War and me supproting the Flilipinos in the Philippine-American War if i was alive back then (and me retroactively supporting them)   since imperialism is wrong

Europe

I am against France’s fuel hikes . I support the Yellow Vest movement

Americas issues

I support the Chile 2019 social protests to quote the protestors “It’s not 30 pesos, but 30 years of indifference” 

I support sanctions as opposed to embargo against Cuba but a specific type that is viewed good on both sides (but mostly on the neocon side). I support the Cuban 2021 protesters 

I do not fault for America, Australia and the UK for their anti German sentiment during World War I (though I wouldn't have been like that if I was alive back then). I feel it would have been better if Americans, Australians and UK were anti German during World War I in the same exact way that Americans and Western Europe is anti Russian during Russia's war with Ukraine (instead of the way they were in the 1910s) . But we can't apply today's standards to people over 100 years ago. Moreover, seeing what Germany would do in the 1930s and 1940s, it's cements my decision not to fault Americans, Australians and British people for such anti German sentiment in the 1910s

On the Spanish -American War, I am between neutral and this view: I would have initially supported the US going to war with Spain in the Spanish-American War if I was alive back then but near the end I would have at least somewhat turned against it.  In the present, I pragmatically lean being against the US going to war with Spain in the Spanish American War.  I am glad that the US won that war, but they really shouldn't have went to war with Spain since imperialism is wrong.

The Old South using slavery was wrong, not just for moral reasons (which is the main reason its wrong for every society) but also for economic reasons as they instead should have embraced a hypothetical socio-fiscal system that can be labeled interchangeably as State Capitalism, Bureaucratic Collectivism, State Socialism and a unique Mode of Production. along with the Industrial revolution decades earlier as opposed to using slavery and Agrarianism.

Since the Old South and its slavery-Agrarianism model was far inferior from a economic (and moral) standpoint to non slavery/paid labor- hypothetical socio-fiscal system that can be labeled interchangeably as State Capitalism, Bureaucratic Collectivism, State Socialism and a unique Mode of Production. and the Industrial Revolution model, the Old South should have ditched slavery (giving equal rights to everyone), rebuilt their infrastructure to support these changes and used machines for some jobs as the North was doing at that time. If the Old South had done this in the 1830s, 1840s, 1850s or even late as the early 1860s, they would have been equal to if not better than the Northern US in terms of economy, culture, quality of life and infrastructure. Moreover, there would have been no Civil War and thus no destruction of their region via war or reconstruction corruption and the South would be far better today than it is now.

I somewhat agree with this article 

Xitianity/Christians

Xtianity

Well it certainly wouldn't hurt to live by (or at least pretend to try to live by) the Two Commandments of Matthew-22-34-40

Jesus was white, Mary was white  and we should not get rid any images, statues, paintings, art etc of a white Jesus, a white Mary or white biblical people. 

I want the Tridentine Mass (1962 Roman Missal) to continue to be celebrated just like it has been celebrated for the last 15 years. I support Pope Benedict's Summorum Pontificum

Even though I have no issues with the current Catholic mass set ups, I'd be open to the idea of the Tridentine Mass (1962 Roman Missal) being the ordinary form and the Tridentine Mass (1955-1961 form of the liturgy or 1940s-1950 form of the liturgy ) being the Extraordinary form.  I support Pope Benedict's Summorum Pontificum

High ranking Jewish authorities (ie Sadducees and Pharisees)  conspired with non Jewish leaders to put Jesus to death. They were jealous of Jesus, and saw him as a threat (Jesus constantly called out the Sadducees and Pharisees for their hypocrisy and evil ways during his ministry). 

An unruly mob of people (the vast vast majority of whom were Jewish), in Jerusalem called out for the Romans to crucify and kill Jesus. In Matthew 27:25, Pontius Pilate washed his hands of Jesus's blood and those mob of people (the vast vast majority of whom were Jewish) who had called for Jesus to be crucified, told Pilate "His blood be on us and our children! In the Gospel of John (John 5:18, John 7:1, John 8:37) John shows that Jews wanting to kill Jesus throughout his ministry . Paul, who was himself a Jew, wrote similar things about Jews relationship with Jesus. Paul persuected Christians when he was still Jewish (1 Thess 2:14-15, Phil 3:5-6)

It doesn't matter because Jesus's death was predestined by God as a plan to save humanity. If Jesus wasn't crucified and killed, no Christians would be saved so the Jewish peoples' role in Jesus death saved humanity, because if he didn't get crucifed and killed, none of us would be able to have eternal life. Jesus gave his life willingly as a sacrifice for sin (Mark 10:45, John 18:11). It was Christians' sins that was the most directly responsible for the death of Jesus (Romans 5:8-9, 1 Timothy 1:15) Jesus rose from the dead 3 days later anyway and rose to heaven on his own free will. 

I used to go the Knights of Columbus as a child and teenager a few times a year.  The Knights of Columbus is a great organization.

A lot of issues in our country can be fixed by Christians helping out more in their communities to fix such issues
