Not that you care all that much...

I agree, wish koreshots family all the best an hope they make it out with no harm. Other than that, this is turning very political.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I looked at it the same way, westerners don't care. But I did not see that as a bad thing, just a matter of fact statement. Obviously, we can'tdo something about every trouble spot in the world.

Stalin's birth place... comes from a very poor family:


Here is the train car that he traveled in when visiting his mother. She would not move to Moscow with him and remained in Gori.


My parents have a friend who is in charge of the Stalin stuff. When visiting from the US a few years ago, we were able to gain access into the car, even had lunch sitting on Stalin's personal couch and then just for giggles took a picutre of me sitting on his personal toilet.

Ah memories...

SCO is telling NATO to stay out of their backyard. It's not like they haven't given ample warning. This is more blowback from 8 years of ill fated foreign policy. Putin is playing Shrub like a rube. Wadda surprise.

I stand by my words, but I won't stay by what you thought I implied in those words.

I could very well be wrong, but it seems to me that your thoughts on this matter are based on a larger global view of US involvement in conflicts. Until you choose to set those thoughts aside for a second, you will continue to misinterpret my posts. If you feel that you would like to continue discussion on this subject, I am glad to exchange a few PMs (in keeping with the no politics rules on the forum). You would be surprised to find out what my position on this war is altogether.

If you choose not to have this conversation with me, then I ask you to stop the flaming posts. They come off as confrontational and un-informed.

Why all the hatin'?

Could you please just relax and stop spouting off on "your people" this and "my people" that?

You're coming off a little too red, white and blue. Dude is concerned about his family, period. Show a little sensitivity....

Frankly, I'm surprised this thread wasn't locked after your first diatribe. Guess you get a lot of slack for being a regular contributor.

Koreshot : Our thoughts and prayers are with your family .

Most rational folks want peace on this planet and realize aggression of any stripe is exactly what is wrong with this imperfect world today .

Unfortunately politicians / leaders who are often less than fully developed demonstrate their particular paranoia on the rest of us daily causing much misery --- that's why we NEED a HEALTHY skepticism about most anything they utter

So if I dont' follow the status quo here - I get a thread locked?
I can't defend my country against these types of verbal attacks?

Is this America?

Of course I feel sorry for his family... Anybody who knows me personally knows I am a super caring person...


I'm a patriot.. I love my country...
