@M_Simonyan You can moan and pout and cry all you like, but it was russia who tried to invade Ukraine. You may be cute to look at, but you are also a delusional monster. Go home, take your troops out of Ukraine and have a sit down. Peace is much nicer than what you have created.
@jimnardulli Fat and carbs are also crucial in our diets, but you know what happens when someone eats too much of those. Too much of a good thing is rarely good.
@jimnardulli@McCurdy1987 So you, as a descendent of Catholic immigrants, are supporting the deportation of Catholic immigrants because too many of them came, too quickly?
How would you feel if your son (or daughter) had been sent to an El Salvadorian prison? If you can answer that question, I'll buy ?
@jimnardulli@McCurdy1987 Believe me when I say I am trying to understand. I don't do X anymore (I use Bluesky) and only come on here to speak to you. And I do so in the hope that you might help me understand all that is going on. Can you please try a little harder, because I am finding it all very hard.
@jimnardulli@McCurdy1987 It was the US administration, along with Thatcher, who promoted the system of International Specialisation. International trade is what they wanted and that it what we got. Containerisation helped enable the process, but it was politically driven.
@jimnardulli@McCurdy1987 And finally I would like to ask you about trump's suggestion that it was Ukraine that started the war with russia. Can you explain that to me? Because to me it sounds a bit like 'he raped your children because you allowed them to play in the garden'.
@jimnardulli@McCurdy1987 No disrespect to you, but the sane world is done with the US of A. We are hurt, disappointed and in a slight state of shock, but we know that the 'special relationship' has come to an end and we need to move on from hamburgers and fries.
Adios amigos.
@jimnardulli@McCurdy1987 Can you explain why the US of A does not say anything negative regarding the russian attacks on Ukrainian civilians? TBH, I'd be happy for the US to FO. Why does your administration keep pocking its nose into our affairs and continues to act like the global police?
@jimnardulli@McCurdy1987 But in general, apart from the possibility of drinking, I don't think I have agreed with anything you have said over the past years.
@jimnardulli@McCurdy1987 My point, on this point, was not so much about the comings and goings and state of Europe post WW1. It was more about the criminal activity within the Italian American communities. If members of the Mob had been deported there might not be many Italian Americans these days.
@jimnardulli@McCurdy1987 Imagine the same policy had been implemented 100 years ago? You would likely have been born in Italy. But here we are 100 years on and the old Italian Mafia have become part of the US political system and you and yours are doing well. Life's bizarre.
