You are moving the goalposts. You are lying. Everyone can see it. Why keep pretending?

Government that wastes taxpayers' money is unethical. Therefore evading taxes is ethical. If government doesn't collect enough taxes it can simply stop wasteful spending.

Nope its not. You don't get to break the law, period. Are you really that dense?
Who is going to decide what's "wasting", YOU? 😂

But we both, and everybody else who can read, knows why you dont want to talk about this topic you brought up: In your response you were once too careless with your reply. "Bombing hospitals was a reaction to NATO expansion" was stupid to say in the first place, and its pretty much indefensible. Thats why you dont want to keep talking. It has nothing to do with relevancy of opinions, but all with your dishonesty.

I support Putin and war in Ukraine for religious reasons. I still don't understand why it matters to you. If you could convince me or even majority of Russians it still won't change anything because Russia is NOT a democracy.

And STILL you didn't give your opinion.
But thanks for admitting you "support Putin for religious reasons" 😂😂

So, is bombing hospitals as retaliation for alleged NATO expansion ok, in your opinion? It's a simple yes/no question. Pretty easy to answer, isn't it?

The article says that export restrictions were implemented after that period

Quote:Secondly, you are seemingly acting like you are blind, because that article you posted mentioned India, not the US, and again, the US is not exporting rice, India is. That has nothing to do with the United States, nor does what you posted have to do with preventing inflation.

I used it as an example. Other 2 articles are about the US.

Quote:Also, another person asked you about something in regards to Russia, and you said your opinion does not matter. If that is the case, then why are you even here?

It doesn't matter because it can't affect Russia's foreign policy. Why do you believe that foreigners can't discuss US politics?

I said before that foreigners can discuss US politics if they have proper knowledge of that stuff. You seem to lack proper knowledge yourself based on your posts.

Also, India and the United States are still two different countries, the latter which is not exporting rice or anything. And that article you posted still has nothing to do with the USA, nor does it prove anything about preventing inflation. Since the USA does not export as much as they import, and that the USA is not even doing things in terms of exporting that affects inflation at all, your attempts at talking about inflation and the USA are heavily flawed.

I don’t think you understand USA’s economics or the exporting laws and regulation as described by the Wikipedia pages you posted anyway.

Religion poisons everything. What religion do you observe that you think killing fellow humans is okay?

Nothing is permanent, not even an authoritarian regime. The Communists thought they'd never be deposed too -- but when citizens get fed up with bad governance, the leader will be overthrown. This is the echo of history. Putin's war will probably result in his fall unless he finds a way to get out from under it.

What are the odds that he will find a way to get out from under it?

My thoughts are that him doing such a thing actually happening is all doubtful.

Agreed, I merely wanted to draw it out for the readership.

It could be done, but I don't think it's likely and even if it does happen I'm not sure Putin could survive politically. I agree that it's very doubtful he'd try, given his maximalist goals.

If he is deposed, he'll have few places to go. He has too many enemies in Russia and a warrant for his arrest outside it.

The undercover assassins still are not doing their job. *sigh*
