      It is funny because Trump talks so much shit about the press, but they got his back. It is pretty sad to watch, but we have known for decades that the independent press is a lie in the US.

    Acting surprised after seeing the unlimited support by USA, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Greece, UAE, India, China, Russia, Ukraine support for genociding the Palestinians in Gaza and West Bank is funny to me.

    Now we see Canadian and Mexican afraid to even call the US out because no one will come to rescue them if the US did the same. And they deserve it.

    Nothing lower to me than killing children and babies, so my expectations are non existing for such government and people.

    Considering the new york crimes reporting on gaza multiply that number by 10. The American Pedophile crime syndicate state media will always minimize war crimes.

      Laws are threats made by the dominant socioeconomic-ethnic group in a given nation. It’s just the promise of violence that’s enacted and the police are basically an occupying army. You know what I mean?

        So the thing about Iraq is that:

        1. Bush enacted the NATO articles after 9-11 but couldn’t prove which country was responsible so while the troops were rallied there was no actual NATO response just voluntary support.

        2. Bush, Cheney, and the CIA managed to grub up a bunch of images of Aluminium Tubes that the CIA swore up and down were used in the production of nuclear weapons, and this case was presented to Congress to gain support for the war.

        3. The same arguments were presented to the UN prior to the invasion.

        Comparing Trump’s weekend getaway trip to that is disingenuous to its core, congress and largely the American people had absolutely no part to play in his insanity, and normalizing it or pretending there won’t or shouldn’t be repercussions for that helps nobody except for Donald Trump.

          This is a childish and wrong way of understanding politics. “Orange man bad”, although a true statement, doesn’t explain USA geopolitics, which are largely bipartisan.

          You say congress played no part, yet most of congress (even most democrats) don’t condemned the actions themselves, only the lack of protocol followed. Half of EU politicians are celebrating too.

            I myself don’t condemn the action itself, Maduro had it coming and so do all the other anti-democratic despots of the world. I place the greater good of all future people above my own comfort.

            But Trump should be punished just as any other president should, this is not their power to do.

              The entire purpose of economic sanctions on Venezuela is to prevent free elections, because free elections gave rise to the Bolivarian revolution. This is not me making it up, this is literally the US policy as said by themselves with economic sanctioning:

              1. The majority of Cubans support Castro (the lowest estimate I have seen is 50 percent).

              2.There is no effective political opposition.

              3.Fidel Castro and other members of the Cuban Government espouse or condone communist influence.

              4.Communist influence is pervading the Government and the body politic at an amazingly fast rate.

              5.Militant opposition to Castro from without Cuba would only serve his and the communist cause.

              6.The only foreseeable means of alienating internal support is through disenchantment and disaffection based on economic dissatisfaction and hardship.

              If the above are accepted or cannot be successfully countered, it follows that every possible means should be undertaken promptly to weaken the economic life of Cuba. If such a policy is adopted, it should be the result of a positive decision which would call forth a line of action which, while as adroit and inconspicuous as possible, makes the greatest inroads in denying money and supplies to Cuba, to decrease monetary and real wages, to bring about hunger, desperation and overthrow of government.

              By arguing about elections without taking sanctions into account, you’re just being a CIA stooge

                I can’t tell if you’re being facetious of if you actually think Venezuela is Cuba? After Cuba aligned with the USSR at the height of the cold war and became a single party dictatorship, economic suppression seems like a tame response. You realize they almost set off WWIII?

                I feel like support for Castro would plummet harshly if any opposition were allowed on it’s soil, but it was not.

                  The document: Cubans are overwhelmingly in support of communism, so we need to starve them

                  The most “democratic” westerner: OF COURSE WE STARVED THEM, THEY DIDN’T HAVE TWO PARTIES

                  Just so you know: US + EU economic sanctions have murdered 38 million people in the past 50 years, and continue to murder half a million yearly. “Tame suppression”

      Trump is everything bad about a psychopath, sociopath and narcissist.
      Rolled up in what we call malignant narcissist. He has complete disregard for other people, and he has absolutely no conscience, and he expects to be worshiped.

      Fuck Americans for making him president twice.

      This made me laugh. This is the same shit we’ve been doing for 100 years. “Illegal orders” aren’t a thing when you use your imperial military to do imperialism. The last time we had a President that wasn’t a war criminal was never.
