    Where did I ever imply I support America?

    You’re repeating transparently false American propaganda. It’s America’s proxy war, they’ve openly admitted this on countless occasions. Do you honestly contend that the US is pouring billions into this because they’re humanitarians? Is it? Answer this.

    Russia tried for almost a decade to pursue peace in the face of US/NATO aggression. We later learned from Hollande and Merkel that the US had no intention of allowing for peace. This is recorded historical fact.

        Wall of irrelevant gibberish.

        Do you deny the historical fact that I was talking about?

        Why can’t you answer simple questions?

        Why are you so angry?

            Sorry but this is a debate. If you want to conceded just don’t answer and we can all take it that you’ve conceded.

            I’m here to laugh at you

            Yet all you’re managing to do is rage and cry and hurl homophobic abuse.

            We’ll see if you can answer your questions or if you’ve lost.
