My Russian and Ukrainian Referenda if I were US President

If I were president of the United States, I would have a referenda created online...very basic ones that anyone could technically vote on. They would be for Chukotka, Kamchatka, Magadan, Khabarovsk, Sakhalin, and Primorski Krai...the Russian regions bordering the Pacific Ocean. An example referendum would be such:


1) Do you certify that you are a citizen of (Kamchatka, etc)?

2) Do you wish that your region will leave Russia and join the United States? (Yes) (No)

Obviously, people online would be honest about the first question, and then we'd see the percentage answering "Yes" on the second question.

The referendum would be open for a few days, and after that, it would be determined whether any of these regions voted to join the US. Obviously, as president, I would not have the power to annex other regions (and the referenda would be as legitimate as the Russian ones...meaning not legitimate)...BUT...I would move warships and landing ships near the Russian Pacific coast. Obviously, I would not land troops in Russia, but I would still troll them, and they would have to send SOME troops to defend against the actual landing ships that were out at sea. Of course, an incident could potentially occur, so the ships would be on high alert. But they would exist right off the coast in international waters as long as the Ukraine conflict went on, taking Russian troops away from Ukraine.

Another idea would be to have similar referenda for Kyiv, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv, Odesa, and Lviv, and then say to Russia, now, since they voted to become part of the US, we will have to defend our own land against invaders (just like Russia is saying with its the places it illegally occupied).

Russia's referenda were a joke, and and if I had the power, I would stand up and show the idiocy of these referenda by doing the same thing in a tongue-in-cheek way, but with real consequences for Russia.

Fighting Klanophobia I'm always hurt when I see bigots offend groups of people.  All too often, people paint a group, "the other" with a broad brush and stereotype them as being evil, even though the crimes that are associated with them are only committed by a tiny minority fringe element within the larger group. Such is the case with the Ku Klux Klan.  Most people don't like to associate with them.  There is a lot of prejudice directed towards that group, particularly among blacks and Jews, but this hate is widespread.  If you see a klansman wearing his cultural garb, how do you feel?  Do you become nervous?  Do you think that he'll do something violent?  If so, you're part of the problem. The KKK is an organization of peace.  Most of its members are peaceful and only want to go about their lives without being harmed...like most people in this world.  Sure, there are a few members who preach hate, but that's true in almost every grou...

In Defense of...Cecil Rhodes?!

You all know Cecil Rhodes, right?  He was a British Imperialist (living from 1853-1902) who founded the De Beers diamond mining and trading company.  Just this morning, I came upon a post comparing him to Adolf Hitler, and claiming that Cecil Rhodes killed at least 60 million Africans.  It has been shared 99 times.  Here is the post: https://plus.google.com/+TonyJefferson/posts/CZ6HW3AxDo6 Unlike many, I decided to do some research on it.  That is my nature.  I don't accept things without evidence given, and even when no evidence is provided, I search for evidence.  If after looking, no evidence is forthcoming, then I discount the claim unless compelling evidence does surface.  After my research on this topic (taking up about an hour of my day and 28 open tabs on my browser...but still an enjoyable time because this is what I like to do), I found that my initial skepticism was well justified and that this comparison is incorrect.  Adolph H...

2020 Was (Will Be) An Inside Job

My Election Prediction: Trump will lose. I think that the collusion of corporate media with big tech is too powerful for the minds of regular people to resist. The propaganda was non-stop, and enough people have fallen for it. I think that without the censorship, and with a modicum of objectivity in the media, Trump would win. Sure, people have their own reasons for supporting both Trump and Biden (= not Trump). Some of those reasons on both sides are sound. But a decent percentage of people are mindless consumers of propaganda, and these people will ultimately decide the election. 2016 shocked the deep state and their corporate overlords, but since their stunning loss, they made sure to do everything in their power so as not to suffer a similar defeat this time. They covered all of their bases, along with the mouths of those whose speech they feared. Meanwhile, Americans as a group no longer really care about the freedom of speech, and many are lukewarm on the idea of America ...
