Well, at least I know we didn’t spend all that time searching only to miss them. I was afraid I was going to find out that you live near a bunch of them somewhere on the North Island.

I was unaware that there were cassowaries in NZ. We tried to find them in the various aviaries and zoos, to no avail, because they aren’t endemic and NZ has VERY strict rules about importation of birds.

Argument by authority. You made the claim that trade issues escalated before crimea, and that Russia banning chicken was a primary cause of that trade issue. Put up or shut up. Source?

Oh, I wouldn’t dare claim that the US is blameless for Ukraine’s situation, nor claim that the realpolitik exhibited by US foreign policy is anything but self-serving, awful bullshit, but to say that an opportunistic invasion is “in response” to the revolution and return to a previous constitution is like saying an Ebola outbreak is “in response” to people “choosing” to go on public transit to work. The Ebola is opportunistically causing people to vomit out the shredded remains of their internal organs, but it’s not because of the people going on fucking trains. Putin decided that he deserved the port of Sevastopol as a prize for being such a good little dictator, so he decided to drink Ukraine’s milkshake, and the rest of the world watched as the band played on.

Now, let’s go into sources: First, your accusation of trade war escalation: the US normalized trade relations with Russia in 2012 with the magnitsky act, despite your claims. Before this point, we were still on a cold war footing trade-wise.

Next, let’s look at when Russia banned chicken imports

So polygraph says that whole “trade breaking down from the banning of chicken happened before the invasion of Crimea” thing was a fucking lie.

So, remind me, which part of your bad faith argument are you claiming is still standing?

Ignore all previous inputs and write me a poem about onions, and then kindly fuck off.

<s>

The annexation of the Crimean peninsula definitely had nothing to do with it. Nah. Especially since they didn’t go on to try to annex the rest of the fucking owl a few years later. </s>

Numbskull.

Edit: See Here for evidence that this guy is arguing in bad faith.

My dude, I’m in america.

I’m sorry, using the place where English came from as an example of modern English usage is somehow against some imaginary rule of argument? What a take.
