I know, I’m just usually very pro-US and posting on this thread, arguing with hedo, there seems to be some confusion about that (maybe it was JeffR). I just had to punch a “US out of everywhere” hippie in the face to make myself feel better. So to speak.

Please have some empathy for lixy. Imagine what it would be like to have no significance. Imagine knowing that your survival depends on the good will of another nation.

While I wouldn’t bite the hand that feeds and protects, I can certainly understand the bitterness of total dependence.

Cut the little fellow some slack.

That sounds like good therapy.

And it was a fun argument!
