Disturbing number of people who'd consider themselves "left" support Russia because they don't like what America is doing. Jeez... just because you disapprove of one regime doesn't mean you have to get into bed with another

Too bad that's not what the country you "belong" too' follows that definition.

Also....the royal "we"....is a pejorative used as a way to send people to die for the wants and needs of the wealthy.

It’s a great for me you’re not a representative of my country, have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about and we don’t have a royal monarchy here.

You insinuating I'm pro Russia?

I'm not, I'm pro.....maybe civilians shouldn't talk about military action if they are not prepared to go themselves.

The "royal 'we"" is what I thought was a well known term.....evidently not, because you took it literal.

Explains everything to me, sad, I thought you had a clue.

Impass then....

I’m not the one who doesn’t have a clue. You’ve been talking out of your ass about a country you understand very little about. Don’t understand how citizenships and representation works, thinks the word belong only implies to slavery and not you know being a member of, and now is playing ignorant to what the Royal we means.


A term originated with the monarchy and refers to a person in high office referring to themselves as we. It can only be used by someone with direct authority when speaking for their country.

It has nothing to do with people that legitimately belong to a country and have citizenship and representation in said government referring to their country as we. Because we the people are the United States.

But, yes, you have no clue and we are at an impasse.
