Karma for not Helping Other Nations with Being Independent

[Jitendra Hydonus]

It is a fact that the French helped the colonies become independent so should we then ignore the cries of other nations attempting to be free of colonial influences? And what is the karma if we ignore similar pleads for help?

The Revolutionary War (1775-83), also known as the American Revolution, arose from growing tensions between residents of Great Britain’s 13 North American colonies and the colonial government, which represented the British crown. Skirmishes between British troops and colonial militiamen in Lexington and Concord in April 1775 kicked off the armed conflict, and by the following summer, the rebels were waging a full-scale war for their independence. France entered the American Revolution on the side of the colonists in 1778, turning what had essentially been a civil war into an international conflict. After French assistance helped the Continental Army force the British surrender at Yorktown, Virginia, in 1781, the Americans had effectively won their independence, though fighting would not formally end until 1783.

Though sometimes undervalued in wider cultural memory, almost every historian of the American Revolution acknowledges that without aid and intervention from the Kingdom of France in the conflict, independence from Great Britain was a pipe dream.

Should not then we be indebted for the help we had? And didn’t Benjamin Franklin play the same role that Zelinsky has done today with our country? The French even sent soldiers to the U.S. to fight along side us.

Did the French send soldiers to the U.S. to help fight the Revolutionary War?

Yes

From a young king set on making France the supreme European monarchy, to the men in the French Court ushering the king toward the Patriot cause, to the Frenchmen who crossed the Atlantic to fight for and alongside a people whose liberty was at stake, France supported American independence with a plethora of people. Without their fighting spirit, the American Revolution would’ve looked much different.

The springboard for a formal alliance with the French, the two-part Battle of Saratoga was a much-needed American victory to overcome the shadow that was cast by the disastrous Battle of Quebec. Horatio Gates and the Northern Department of the Continental Army overcame John Burgoyne and his British forces, persuading the French that the Americans would make a worthy partner. Over the course of the Revolution, France provided an estimated 12,000 soldiers and 32,000 sailors to the American war effort.

Now fully committed to the war, France supplied arms, munitions, supplies, and uniforms. French troops and naval power were also sent to America, reinforcing and protecting Washington’s Continental Army. The decision to send troops was taken carefully, as France was not sure how the Ameri...

On spheres of thought:
Julian Assange may appeal again against extradition to the USA.
Has anyone already mentioned the parallels between Navalny and Assange?

( to Central Scrutinizer )  ….in the case of Navalny the sphere of thoughts of brutal dictatorship and autocracy applies. After his death I came to know that he had developed an efficacious strategy to gather votes in favor of Putin's opponents. He himself was the main political opponent. Then, I understood why he consigned himself to the tyrant: simply because the tyrant, being attuned to this specific sphere of thoughts, would have never relented in his pursuit to eliminate his main and ingenious opponent. Never.
So, plausibly Navalny renounced his freedom to protect himself and his family from future, inevitable assassination attempts, well knowing that anyway he would have probably found death in the jails.

In the case of Assange, I don't know the events very well to judge. America is not a brutal dictatorship, so different spheres of thought apply. The spheres of thought of factions and agencies behind the scenes of democracy, maybe.

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in an interview published on Friday that if Ukraine does not get promised U.S. military aid blocked by disputes in Congress, its forces will have to retreat "in small steps".
"If there is no U.S. support, it means that we have no air defence, no Patriot missiles, no jammers for electronic warfare, no 155-milimetre artillery rounds," Zelenskiy told the Washington Post.
"It means we will go back, retreat, step by step, in small steps," he said. "We are trying to find some way not to retreat."

Shortages of munitions, he said, meant "you have to do with less. How? Of course, to go back. Make the front line shorter. If it breaks, the Russians could go to the big cities."
Democratic President Joe Biden has urged the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives to endorse the military and financial aid package, but House Speaker Mike Johnson has held up the matter for months, citing domestic priorities.

Zelenskiy told Johnson in a telephone conversation on Thursday that approval of the package was vital.
Russian forces captured the eastern town of Avdiivka last month and have made small gains since, but the front lines have changed little in months.

In his interview, the Ukrainian president said Ukraine was making up for shortages of missiles with home-produced weaponry and air defence systems, "but it is not enough".
More than two years into the war, Russia has intensified attacks on energy and other infrastructure in recent weeks. Ukrainian troops have been unable to advance, and Zelenskiy said Kyiv intended to pursue attacks on targets in Russia, including oil refineries.

mccoy thanks for this deep insight into a living demonic spirit expressing through the Russian leadership. This ‘sphere of thought’ must be recognized for what it is; an aberration and radical cell formation causing a cancerous growth in human spiritual development here on our planet.) It is the karma of certain contingencies of this ( United Clones) nation to let terror and demonic forces subdue independent and sovereign nations.

“It is going to come literally in the nick of time,” said John Nagl, a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel who is now a professor of warfighting at the U.S. Army War College. He cited a line attributed to Zelensky on the war’s first day in February 2022, after the U.S. was reported to have offered to fly him out of Kyiv, that what he needed wasn’t a ride but ammunition.

“Right now, if Zelensky doesn’t get this ammunition, he needs a ride,” said Nagl.
