Yes and China actually has a claim on Taiwan (reasonable or not) whereas the US has no claim reasonable or otherwise over Venezuela or its leaders.
The US has devolved into a petty dictatorship at this point, since the rule of law is all but gone. There has been a two tier justice system for a very long time, but this just takes the cake. Kidnapping foreign leaders and charging them with violating US law… utter madness. We are truly living through collapse stage of an empire.
You miss my point. How unusual for this forum He’s yet to prove himself to be a fully fledged bog standard warmongering American president–what they so ‘endearingly’ refer to as ‘boots on the ground’ presidents. Warmongers don’t just happen either. If the presidents are warmongers then so is the population. Y’all seem to be hanging out to use your nukes again so perhaps he will be the one to oblige you.
Well you are right to blame the American people. Enough of them keep voting for these evil clowns to be their leaders. These same people get mad at me when I tell them I don’t vote, saying that is irresponsible of me. Oh the irony.
Exactly right, and it gives them legitimacy. If a sufficiently low percentage of the population were voting for them, they would lose legitimacy. But since enough idiots keep turning out to play team sports politics without any regard for the type of insane corrupt retards they are putting into office, nothing will change.
Left and right, back and forth. A game of Ping pong played by the system. We are the idiots who keep falling for it (well not me, but most people).
By this point in American history both the republicans and democrats, as parties and as individual politicians, have absolutely terrible records. They are all corrupt, untrustworthy, bad for America and bad for the world. The fact that they fight each other for more power is irrelevant. At this point, anyone who votes for either of these political parties is to blame for whatever bad things either party or the American political system as a whole is doing.
Democrats is bullshit.
Republicans is bullshit.
Libertarians is bullshit.
Green party is bullshit.
Zionism is bullshit.
American economic capitalism is bullshit.
Wallstreet is bullshit.
Also that red blue quantum state that seems to exist every cycle. Where she stops nobody knows. Voting is like statistics, we just have to take their word on the results. How can it realistically be policed? Electronic voting systems? Recounts? Dunno.
Nah, one party is MIC oriented, the other is market oriented, that’s all I see. Both are certainly billionaire oriented. They both seem to get a turn at exactly the right time, sometimes it’s beyond coincidence.
I don’t know that much about it because I find it all very depressing, especially when the candidates keep using the word “change”, without explaining exactly how that will be achieved. It’s all slogans and nonsense.
“What can be, unburdened by what has been.”
Oh do STFU. At least Trump said exactly what he had in mind, even though what he had in mind was the insane ramblings of a lunatic.
Nah, I wouldn’t vote for any of that.
All I know is that when Trump got in the first time, I didn’t join in the shared disgust that surrounded me at the time, I thought:
“Not ideal, but thank God that Hillary didn’t get in, or it wouldn’t be long before we were putting the flames out on each other’s backs. That b**ch is mental.”
I live in the primary vassal state of the empire, so I feel entitled to my crappy opinions.
