    The Kremlin crushed the US-and-Saudi-backed Al Qaeda savages that were trying to turn Syria into an Islamic caliphate. Many heroic Russians died needlessly in that campaign because of western fifth columnists who either ignored or encouraged what the US government was doing in Syria. Thankfully, Russia persevered in spite of Al Qaeda cheerleaders such as yourself.

    US imperialists always blame someone else for their horrific crimes and failures. Your generation is so thoroughly indoctrinated with cold war propaganda that there is simply no hope for you to achieve anything even approaching genuine enlightenment. Your generation will remain in perpetual intellectual darkness. The only hope for this country is younger people.

    I don't take everything our government says at face value. But i flat out reject antiAmericanism. At our worst we do far more good than anyone else on the planet.

    The US is $22 trillion in debt.

    Yet stupid Americans keep spending money they don't have on a bloated, decrepit military empire that causes nothing but chaos on an enormous scale.

    The US political system is doomed. It is the Roman empire 2.0 and it is in an obvious decline.

    Perhaps the only thing reasonable people can do at this point is to pray that the implosion of the US empire does not precipitate a nuclear war that kills us all.

    Because only a braindead person can look at America, at those America has a conflict with and at the things they do to each other and say that America is a force for evil. If I were unlucky enough to be born and live in Aphganistan I would without any shade of doubt get as close to American soldiers as possible. Because I know that US Army is the greatest force for goodness in the world.

    Your pro-government religion is the most anti-American thing there is.

    The US government isn't America.

    America was here before the US government was created.

    And America will be here long after the US government collapses under the weight of its own corruption and hubris.

    Only those with a profoundly anti-American belief system would treat government and society as interchangeable.

    I would recommend reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine which might disabuse you of your anti-American beliefs.

    Bwahahahaha.

    And what is the extent of your knowledge of the US army? Playing Call of Duty on your PS4? Watching Hollywood movies?

    ...peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none.
    --Thomas Jefferson


    That Jefferson quote represents the REAL America.

    You all represent the fake America created by progressives like Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson.

    Genuine American conservatism is about neutrality in foreign affairs, not the global imperialism which all you fake Americans represent.

    Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government. But that jealousy to be useful must be impartial; else it becomes the instrument of the very influence to be avoided, instead of a defense against it. Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests.
    --George Washington


    Again, this is what the REAL America is all about. The "tools and dupes" to which Washington refers have become a multitude in recent times. I weep for my country!

    There was a British colony before the US government was created not America. And none of us will live long enough to see its collapse.

    And what is your level of being brainwashed? If you lived in Aphganistan would you prefer to be in the area controlled by US soldiers or in the area controlled by Taliban and Al Qaeda?

    I disagree. I'd rather procrastinate on that.

    America declared its independence in 1776. The US constitution wasn't fully ratified until 1789.

    If you cannot understand or recognize the difference between a society and a government, then you are not a real American.

    I'm sure many Romans felt the same way right before their empire collapsed.

    I was in the US military. My understanding of the military is based on direct experience, whereas your understanding of it seems to come from playing video games and watching movies.

    The US has killed thousands of Afghan civilians during the occupation, so it's not an easy question to answer.

    If you don't follow the rules then you should not play the game.

    Well, if the CIA and CNN and Hillary Clinton say so, then it must be true!

    Because the only way someone would question the government and the corporate media is if they were paid by Putin to do so, right?

    Anti-Russian hysteria is nothing more than a mental disease promoted by corrupt western rulers who want to distract idiots from the truth.

    Anytime someone challenges the corrupt status quo inside the west, the western ruling classes simply accuse them of being a Russian stooge or something.

    Such specious accusations are generally sufficient to discredit the accused in the eyes of millions of imbeciles who cannot see past their own noses.

    And this is why the US political system is doomed to failure, because without a generally enlightened and engaged population, the government will simply fall into the hands of the most corrupt and ruthless elements of society.

    Now we live in a situation where the government is under the control of sophisticated criminals and foreign operations, all of whom view the US taxpayer as nothing more than a vacuous beast of burden to be plundered endlessly in furtherance of corrupt schemes and machinations.
