        Bro, they on your side.

        No one expects you to go Rambo. They just want the majority of people to find their morals and do something.

        As unlikely as that is dont get so worked up because some anon was provoking you to do exactly what you just did. Maybe tomorrow you wont take down your local police department but instead look at a homeless person and think, “this isnt right.”

          Really just outs the commenter as having no fucking clue what they are talking about.

          We are doing what we can. Constant record breaking protests. Progressives are winning by historic margins. These stupid fucking pretentious insulting comments do less than nothing.

          People really just cannot fucking comprehend the breadth and intensity of the psy op propaganda that the Republicans have enacted (really since Nixon) but intensely starting with Trump.

          Unprecedented targetting, unprecedented amounts of propaganda, and a collaboration with multiple foreign adversaries to assist. Trumps campaign was literally sending voter data to Russia so they can specifically target Americans with propaganda.

          On top of OAN, Fox News, podcasts, and talk radio, we literally had Russia and china making thousands of full on fake websites posing as legit news spreading insane anti left bullshit. Social media was completely flooded with bots spreading misinformation leading up to all of Trump’s elections

          America is the victim of the biggest and most advanced brainwashing campaign in the history of mankind and we all seem to be ignoring that fact when it is the single most important aspect of modern American and global politics.

        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”

    Americans are nothing less than violent murderers.

    Every single yank has blood on their hands because they refuse to overthrow their government doing this

    This is WW2 Germany, but this time it’s being played out by a narcissistic pedophile

    They are all complicit in these crimes.

    They are all cowards.

    They are all afraid to act on on their 2nd Amendment

      You’re so passionate! I encourage you to come to the USA and lead the charge. Show us how it’s done! Your leadership will surely be a shining beacon for all, your wisdom remembered for the ages. We’ll erect a big statue of you and everything.

      p.s. if Americans are violent murderers, so are every citizen of every country that aids the US military war machine in any way; if you sit at the table with Nazis you are a Nazi, etc. Chances are very good the USA arms YOUR country

      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.

          Sorry to hear you lost your family to a cult.
          In Denmark we have 12 parties in parliament, and none of them are as bad as the Republicans. Because none of them would remove healthcare for all.
          I don’t think most Americans really understand how extreme the Republicans are, even without Trump!
          USA has gone mad as a society, and see the selfishness of rich Republicans as an expression of freedom.
          It is not all Americans that are mad, but like when a person has terminal cancer, it is not all cells in the body that are cancerous, but it’s enough to make the cancer terminal.
          USA still has good people and even remarkable people, but unfortunately they are a minority.

            Thanks for noticing. We’re suffering in anxiety over here. People are getting depressed. There are protests everywhere., but things still look hopeless.

            Right now it’s obvious that they are trying to provoke people into shooting at ICE agents so that Trump has an excuse to cancel midterm elections. They know that if the elections happen, every one of them are going to prison. Or you’d think so. Our dem party is our best chance and they are paid for by Israel too.

            There are a shit ton of armed people here. The majority of guns are owned by those who voted for Trump. Most liberal people just don’t have them. A civil war here wouldn’t be a war at all. More like a slaughter.

              so that Trump has an excuse to cancel midterm elections. They know that if the elections happen,

              Goddam the debates I have had, where people claim that is impossible, because the elections are run by the states.
              I suspect we may see if it’s possible or not, because Trump and the administration are completely unhinged.

              A civil war here wouldn’t be a war at all. More like a slaughter.

              Unless enough of the people that voted for Trump switch sides or stay at home because they can see things have gone to far.
              Nazi Germany only fell because they were defeated from the outside, that is not possible with USA. So it’s 100% up to the American people.
              I hope you will have more political allies soon. At least the popularity of Trump has declined a lot since the election.
              Even taking Maduro didn’t help on that, and such things traditionally gains the administration and president a lot of support at least for a while.

    Tbh maduro is a stupid person, and while this is a violation to international laws, he deserves to be in jail for life after all crimes against humanity on 2014 strikes. I do not feel bad by his faith. The best scenario would be the venezuelan people make justice, but regime had all the state forces. What option do they had???

      Maduro is bad, but that’s not what this is about. It’s about extrajudicial killings by the US military, and the kidnapping of a foreign head of state. Even if he’s evil and deserves it, that doesn’t give the US the right to do it. If the world comes together and decides it’s necessary, that’s one thing. Unilaterally invading, murdering civilians, and kidnapping a head of state and their spouse is not okay in any circumstance.

      And the worst thing we can do is turn a blind eye to it just because Maduro is evil, because that tells the US that they can do whatever they want as long as they pretend to do it for noble reasons.

      We did that with Iraq and that was one of the biggest clusterfucks in modern history, costing hundreds of thousands of lives, trillions of dollars, and destabilizing the entire region while fueling anti-American sentiment and Islamist extremism for decades.

      AmeriKKKa is uniparty on foreign policy. This exact outcome would have happened under a Harris administration, except they would have kept up the kayfabe, so I would have had to spend hours debating with shitlibs like you that this war is in fact just about oil.

      If you wanna play “shame Olympics”, liberals should be fucking ashamed for losing to the fucking fascists twice, giving the keys of the kingdom to the fascist twice, doing fucking nothing with their political power every time they had it, and barely even pretending to offer a political program worth fighting for.

      The amount of people who voted republican completely obliterates the tiny fraction of people who abstained from voting democrat. How about directing focus where it’s relevant?
