Ask this to the USA, to Canada or to the UK, not to me or Venezuela.

Nobody. In fact Venezuela gained independence from the colonizers in 1811. The Spanish and the German originally stole that land from the native populations. Venezuelans are neither Spanish or German.

I wonder what kind of logic is that where the wronged party has to "deal with it" and not the thieves.

If the goal is to avoid war of all against all, can't the US suck it up for once?

In fact often they do not call, as reported by sources on the ground. But even if they called always, tell me, would it be ok for you to receive a call ordering you to abandon your home and belongings within an hour, pending its destruction? Does that make it humane?

How is it different from setInterval in JS?

USA and UK performing/supporting ethnic cleansing, nothing new here. Still the story is truly heart breaking to read.

> he is

Was. He died years ago. Show some respect and at least learn that before going on finding evidence to support your claim that "his behavior is petty and entitled". You clearly don't know who you're talking about

We're talking about killing people in a country on the other side of the world.

If not omniscience at least clear evidence that there is no other course of action and that this is absolutely required (spoiler, it wasn't). Reacting irrationally is just what animals do.

If its impossible to say, then why intervene? If you can't prove that bombing will have net positive effects then why do it?

War or not, that doesn't justify you being a racist. Otherwise anyone could say that Ukrainians are all nostalgic of nazism.

Nice display of unwarranted racism on a completely unrelated thread.

It does render epubs and PDFs flawlessly indeed and the reading experience is great. I don't know what OP is talking about.

Bonus: reading black and white comics on a remarkable feels even better than on paper.

I mean, fuck Churchill and that quote, constantly abused to protect a horrible system by people who are too deep in it to even conceive an alternative.

Navalny is a corrupt racist, politically a Russian Guaidó. If he's all the opposition to be found in Russia, then there is no opposition.

Winning a debate doesnt make your argument truer. It just means your opponent was weaker than you at making his argument. Agree or not with that judge but he makes a good point about favouring the validity of an argument over the ability of the debater.

With bacon you know what you get, so you can dose it and take your risks. Aspartame has been sold to us as the healthy alternative to sugar. People literally use aspartame as an excuse to chug liters of soda every day.
