I know trump doesn't know world history.

But helping Russia and asking Lithuania for help are mutually exclusive options.

    This is the kind of response people tend to give to questions they don't know the answer to.

    Have fun champ! Be sure to read every single citacion in full, and everything in the further reading section. You genuinely want to learn the things I already know, right?

    Because that's why you're out here asking the question that everyone knows the answer to that has looked at any news for the last decade, right?

    Look, I asked for a couple of clear, concrete examples - not because I'm unwilling to do my own research, but because I want to hear what you consider the strongest case for it. Sending someone off to 'read the news' or linking an enormous wiki article is more about shutting down the conversation than having a good-faith discussion. If our positions were reversed, and you sincerely wanted to understand my point, would you appreciate me saying ‘go watch this two-hour documentary’ without providing any specifics? If you genuinely believe Trump is helping Russia, why not briefly share one or two of the most compelling examples that convinced you personally? That’s usually what people do when they're sincerely interested in sharing knowledge rather than simply dismissing questions.

    No. I have had enough of suffering consequences of awful bad faith, obvious arguments and treating people like that as if they are making salient points.

    Grow up, and act properly.

    Grow up, and act properly.

    Maybe you should take your own advice on that one. You've been acting hostile, snide, and accusatory toward me throughout this entire exchange, and for no reason.

    absolutely.

    and for no reason.

    No , with good reason. You're fishing for outrage, and trying to stir up disonance. Enjoy it. You get what you deserve.
