No, I explained to you that "getting someone's back" doesn't have to have literal meaning.

But, for the sake of the discussion, let's pretend I said what you're trying to infer I said - So what? I was wrong, is that your point? You were wrong in one of your first posts in the backroom (German planes bombing Norway from USSR airfield during WW2). Why are you still posting anything remotely related to history when you were wrong?

Conclusion: you're wrong again.

Try to interpret this one by Putin:

It obviously means he wants to annex entire Ukraine, but I'm not worried so much about him. This is the real threat.



Global Nurses United say that we are all one people, all of us in the world. Russia and the West must make peace immediately to prepare for the imminent nurse invasion.

No country is a PERFECT democracy, but existing shortcomings don't cancel the general assessment. Moreover, at some historic period NO country was democratic. So adopting your diachronic standpoint, there are no democracies in the world. Viewing them synchronically, they are as democratic as you like.
That no country is a PERFECT democracy is not a proof that all countries are equal in how democratic they are. There are small issues, and there is refusing to allow a third of the population to vote.
