      Don’t be ridiculous. FIFA doesn’t just hand out their prestigious, respected peace prize to anyone.

        It won’t. Venezuela isn’t a member of BRICS or anything. They’re a member of OPEC, but that’s an economic cartel, not a military alliance. They don’t have the necessary allies to come to their aid to turn it into a world war.

        The US inherited it from the British, there were people already living here. They have been invading sovereign nations in the name of the US since independence.

            The 1700s. Whereas the last skirmishes of the Indian Wars ended after WWI. Europeans invaded the sovereign nations that were already here and then the US, after independence, continued to expand westward into places where people already lived.

                Howbout you go reread their comment and do some math.

                The Wounded Knee Massacre which ended tribal resistance and completed the conquest of their land happened in 1890, and then the “Renegade period” went on until 1924.

                  Holy fucking shit too many of you talk about shit you do not understand. The US is still occupying those lands and intends to eradicate Native American nations. If you also actually read my comment, you’d see that the person above was trying to explain something (inadequately) that was outside the scope of what I was addressing.

                  Fucking some of you have to develop humility jfc.

                    No shit. That’s what they said, and you started arguing with unclear language. What were you addressing exactly?

                    Fucking some of you have to develop humility jfc.

                    Learn to communicate your points, your audience isn’t dumb, your language is.

      Leader of the free world has quite a history, full of violations of other countries sovereignty.
