Bro said "give me all the bias"
Famously, support for US neocolonies isn't biased at all: just common sense
That's also biased.

You don't really need bias to come to these conclusions.
That's not how the legitimacy of a state works. A state doesn't become illegitimate because of war crimes.
Both my citations occurred before these territories claimed independence. In fact, these periods preceded efforts to retake the old territory.
Not unlike the American Confederacy or the South of Vietnam, two territories we've got no problem acknowledging as illegitimate.
Explain what you think the word bias means and why its presence should be disqualifying
Bias means being opinionated/having preconceptions on a topic. I never said it was disqualifying. I just pointed out that he had a lot of bias on a lot of these geopolitical issues in a humorous way.
Most (slightly knowledgeable) people are more nuanced than that, that's why it stood out.
And then you came along and said "I believe the US State Department."
I know which opinion I find to be far more questionable.
Not at all. People love making assumptions here.
I believe reality is very nuanced.
