Destroy your middle class through invasion. Destroy your upper class through threats of mass arrests and executions. Putin is so strong and smart!
Hmmm, interesting that you have never considered that about discrimination as a reason. As for Syrian refugees, probably because of people like Trump when he halted all refugees during the pandemic. Muslim and terrorist fears, even though there were no links to Syrian refugees and terrorism. In fact, I personally fear people like the radicals who stormed the Capitol more than Syrian refugees. Trump also halted the issuing of visas to the nationals of six other mainly Muslim countries, including Iran, Iraq, Yemen and Libya, for three months to, in his words, "keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the US".
What are you thoughts on accepting people for things like experiencing racism or sexism but in a nonviolent context? Should that give someone refugee status? I think with Syrian refugees, it wasn't just Trump - many other countries such as those in Europe didn't want them either and restricted the number they would take. They said other countries around Syria should take them instead.
Did you know? Fifth column, a translation of the Spanish quinta columna, was inspired by a boast by rebel general Emilio Mola during the Spanish Civil War. Mola predicted Madrid would fall as four columns of rebel troops approaching the city were joined by another hidden column of sympathizers within it. In an October 1936 article in The New York Times, William Carney described those secret rebel supporters as the "fifth column," and English speakers seized upon the term. It gained widespread popularity after Ernest Hemingway used it in the title of a 1938 book, and it was often applied (along with derivative forms such as "fifth columnism" and "fifth columnist") to Nazi supporters within foreign nations during World War II.

Fear of extremists and terrorists I guess, and lumping them all in the same category like Trump, Cruz, and the rest did with Mexicans and Central Americans as criminals, gangs, and drug traffickers. I am all for letting in people experiencing sexism and racism in their home countries when it is worse than here. It's bad enough in our country. Anyway, you and I are derailing a Ukraine thread. I think it's time to end this and get back on the topic of Ukraine. Not Syria, or anything else. You can start another Syria or brown refugees thread.
You want to know something weird? I didn't even notice his legs until you made that comment. I just read it and looked at his face.
I know nobody is saying it for obvious reasons but to me this is pretty clear evidence that the US is giving Ukraine intelligence. I don’t buy the whole intercepting insecure lines thing.
lol...I thought I'd see a translation at least but no. I guess I'll take this random twitter guy's word for it.
Hopefully one of those guys is like Maximus and their troops are loyal enough to take down Putin. or he bails on Ukraine blames generals for lying about the situation and off go their heads. DD
