    The pedophiles in power will do anything to distract from the fact that they raped little kids.

    Tribunals for the lot of them when this shit is over. Bombing boats in the Caribbean is one thing, the starvation of Cuba is an incredible, horrific escalation. This regime is almost certainly already guilty of thousands of deaths.

    Thousands of strikes under Bush, Obama, Biden, and now Trump… tens of thousands at this point.

    it’s done been normalized. Murdering people around the globe IS normal for the USA.

    It would be abnormal if the USA STOPPED murdering

      Oh I disagree. They give plenty of shits. It’s just that the shits are ones of thunderous approval and not shocked horror and outrage.

    “The US is killing random people overseas and there’s nothing you can do about it.”

    “Wow, I’ve heard this so many times, I’ve gone numb.”

    “Don’t go numb! Don’t go numb! Don’t go numb!”

      The US is killing its own citizens in Mainland US right now, anyone with empathy to spare for Americans is built different. I can only feel bad for you guys for so long without you doing anything to stop your issues. To be clear I am American but I’m taking steps to completely remove myself from society, as humans suck

    Plus between 800,000 and 1,000,000 people around the world wherever USaid was providing medical care and food for people in bad conditions, like remote villages, refugees and subsistence farms impacted by weather and famine and so many more souls that we gave hope and health to for pennies a year.

    Just the most absolute cruel and heartless people in the world.

    Imagine the person you love the most in life, sick and needing medicine and suddenly the only source of this cheap care tells you one day “Nah, you’re on you’re own” and having to watch that person die because some politician somewhere decided to make a performative statement about “empathy.”

    I don’t know about anyone else, but I would probably swear to burn the whole world down in revenge. The US is going to have massive problems that we fully deserve.

      I mean, as far as murdering civilians goes it is a both sides thing. Basically every US president is guilty of war crimes against civilians. Trump is just bragging about his.

        EXACTLY. People in the USA need to stop thinking their country was angelic until Trump came along. It’s always been a murderous menace since before its founding. Latin America is an excellent example of this, though sadly, not the only one.

        The trend line has been clear for a long long time. That country is a cancer on the world. Patriots can get touchy about it, and they will because patriots don’t tend to be all that bright in general, but their feelings aren’t worth as much as the world’s blood.

        People in the USA need to know what their country truly stands for, and has always stood for—domination.

        Curious about the sourcing on number 8 there. The Wikipedia article on his removal states that the US supported the results of the election and condemned his removal and the coup overall. Once Zelaya was removed, Secretary of State Clinton tried to capitalize on the situation to strengthen Homduras’ dependency on US aid. I’d say that falls in a morally gray area, but it’s a far cry from an actual US backed coup.

        NGL, I originally started looking into this infographic because basically every one of those incidents involves a Republican administration except that one.

          Using military money that was allocated in the preceding year by democrats.

            Okay? The problems highlighted in the infographic have nothing to do with how much military spending was approved, and everything to do with when and more specifically, where it was used.

            Would you be mad at republicans for approving more social service funding if Biden spent that money giving bailouts to corporations for “daycare”? (Purely hypothetical situation here)

              So what are you saying? That American Imperialism is not the fault of America, but the fault of Republicans? Quite a convenient way to absolve yourself.

              My main point is that American Imperialism, especially in Latin America, enjoys bipartisan support.

                My main point is that historically, there has been one particular political group in the United States which consistently does the worst shit possible to the rest of the world. Not saying they’ve never done anything good, not saying that they are the only group that has ever done bad shit. I am saying that it’s a pretty big stretch to say “both sides are the same, just look at this map” and then have 11 of the 12 listed examples being perpetrated by one group, and the 1 example by the other group is disinfo/misinfo. I think it brings serious question into the validity of saying “both sides are the same” and the validity of the document overall.

                Also, map was hard to read at a glance, when I said #8, I was referring to Honduras. I thought the numbers were a key of some sort, not a count of military interventions.

          If only biden & his pick for doj and his immunity from prosecution as president and his knowledge of politics from 3+decades of experience had enabled him to prosecute and jail the child fucker ring.

          If only he knew of the american media beast that lives in Washington that somehow he was not able to evade or play like an instrument given his 3+ decades of experience and lived world and access to any and all of the best marketers and strategic advisors by don’t of his being president and a household name.

          Were these things different, perhaps the one side could produce effects to demonstrate in the minds of even the least news-watching simpleton thst they are, indeed, different. Alas.
