> US de facto controls foreign policy through the UN and other international orgs for a majority of countries on earth.
This is demonstrably false. For example, the US was very strongly against the UN resolution that declared Jerusalem's status as Israel's capital null and void, but nevertheless the resolution passed with 128 votes against 9.[1]
I am not interested in introducing another debunked internet copypasta into this conversation. It bears no relevance to the international recognition of LNR and DNR's independence, legitimacy of Ukraine's government and the Crimean referendum.
It seems like you have nothing to respond to the fact that these events have no international recognition whatsoever, nor can you explain it within the framework of your beliefs without resorting to easily debunkable conspiratorial thinking. That's an indication that your beliefs may be wrong.
> It bears no relevance to the international recognition of LNR and DNR's independence, legitimacy of Ukraine's government and the Crimean referendum.
Sure it does, it speaks to our hypocrisy and why our position on these matters is irrelevant. We recognize Kosovo and twist others arms to do so, and then not respect Crimeans desire to be annexed to Russia or LNR & DNR independence for no other reason than it doesn't fit our foreign policy objectives. It has nothing to do with the desires of the actual people that live there.
But you're right, it's a waste of time to discuss. You're such an apologist for our foreign policy fuckups that you can't even acknowledge the trainwrecks we've caused along the way.
I already showed how the assumption that the US can "twist others' arms" is not gounded in reality. The UN has a long and rich history of adopting resolutions that criticise US policy on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, yet here no-one sides with Russia.
It's quite surprising that even Belarus, which is internationally isolated, heavily depends on Russia, is deeply infiltrated by Russian intelligence services, and hosts a large contingent of Russian armed forces on its territory (to the extent that some don't even consider it independent anymore), refuses to fully endorse Russian narrative. Are they too under American influence?
Takes a strange kind of provincialism to attribute everything that's going on in the world to the US.
You are the only troll here. Instead of engaging in a conversation, you just throw talking points at me, and when I debunk them, you desperately try to move to new talking points. Not once have you said anything that would leave an impression of you as of a human; it feels like I am responding to someone reading off a script. Throughout the conversation, I've known three steps ahead what you'd write, because it's the same old tired script without any freedom to deviate into topics like the foreign policy of Belarus regarding Ukraine, LNR and DNR. I've seen zero original thought. Even utterly brainwashed Russians have some original reasoning to glue official talking points together to cope with the situation and justify it. You offer nothing.
Even modern chatbots aren't this stiff and stuck to the script.
This is demonstrably false. For example, the US was very strongly against the UN resolution that declared Jerusalem's status as Israel's capital null and void, but nevertheless the resolution passed with 128 votes against 9.[1]
