How quickly the pose of determined rectitude melted into that of a political streetwalker.

Is there any way you can run your comments through some sort of Fatuousness filter? They seem to have meaningful two word dinosaur killers such as “power corrupts” and then degenerate back into drivel.
I am sure you have something to say in there some where .. how about just wait a while and think stuff through rather than trying to come out with fall flat zingers.
It contributes nothing to the discussion and does you no glory either.
Never mind the why and wherefore
Love can level ranks, and therefore …
JC, you haven’t addressed any salient points there. If Putin wanted him dead in 2020 why was he allowed to be medevac’d from a Russian hospital to Berlin following an apparent assassination attempt via poisoning?
Since we’re in a G&S mood:
Many reasons, too complex to cover in a simple post.
Basically to teach a lesson to a largely insignificant entity that the US still has power.
Remember who was the secretary of state then, “I was shot at”
Yugoslavia as it was then, was breaking up and outside interests played a major role supporting certain ethnicities.
BTW, Yugoslavia was a creation of post war manipulation by the allies.
It should never have happened, the two major nationalities were never friends to say the least. To be blunt they hate each other.
Religion also came into it, like it or not and Islam was the emerging favored at the time.
Make no mistake, there were as many, if not more, atrocities committed by Muslims as others, except that they had been swept under the carpet..

Gosh havent the decades flown ! I remember when Gilbert and Sullivan fannery was considered so bourgeois and contemptible. Was it the 70s or the 80s ? I must have blinked. But to me G & S have always been as Punk as Nina Hagen …
Though to catch your drift I’m striving,
It is shady — it is shady;
I don’t see at what you’re driving,

Vouchers weren’t on offer. And if you don’t understand how stopping someone building is not the same as acquiring land, or how easy it is to game that toothless tiger, you need to get a refund of your law degree.

A little Eastern European RRolloing and a pig tail or two? I promise I wont think …

Alamak!
Those involved can work out the resource access issues, but under present international law, the Nine-Dash-Line does NOT provide China with enclosed territorial waters.
I’m not sure that this whole discussion has done much more to advance the sum of human knowledge in the world, other than to highlight China’s arrogance and intransigence.
