My examples are proxy wars where the locals retiliated with "terrorism".
Doesn’t that describe Vietnam?
We're achieving our goals in Ukraine right now, as we did in all my examples above.
Is your point that the US goes to war to fund the military industrial complex rather than to achieve victory? Because otherwise I’m not understanding your point.
I don’t think any of those conflicts (including Ukraine) went the way the US wanted them to.
Don’t forget Vietnam and Korea.
The US is constantly enmeshed in wars, but when was the last time Americans actually won one? 1945?
That was 79 years ago. Almost one whole Biden.
How can this story not be true? I heard about it on facebook from someone who says she heard about it from her neighbour, who heard about it from her daughter, who heard about it from a friend.
This stranger's neighbour's daughter's friend saw Haitians carving up her cat with her own eyes.
Do people honestly have no ability to spot a bullshit rumor? She didn't even claim she saw it with her own eyes, or that she knows someone who saw it with their own eyes. She literally says it was a friend of a friend of a friend.
I'm not a Trump supporter. I think both candidates are bad. I would like Harris to be better.
I wish the Democrats could have an honest discussion about what they need to do better instead of all this cheerleading. Cheerleading is not going to win them the election.
This isn't just a case of people refusing to say the emperor has no clothes. This is everyone seeing that the emperor has no clothes and raving online about how great the emperor's clothes are as if that will convince everyone.
I think all this fear-mongering about Trump is quite telling.
You fearmonger about Trump because it's all you have. You don't have anything good you can say about your own party. No accomplishments to tout. No heroes to laud.
Trump probably won't stop the genocide, but the Democrats will probably start a second or third one if you give them a chance.
because Trump will be objectively and exponentially worse for America and the rest of the world.
That's pure speculation and fear-mongering, and I'm sick of hearing it.
We have actual hard evidence of what a Trump term would be like, because we already lived through one. And as rough as it was (with an attempted coup and everything), Joe Biden's term was exponentially worse for the world, with two new wars, a genocide, rampant inflation, and a cost of living crisis.
What could Trump possibly do that would be worse?
Frankly, after four years of Biden, the Democrats owe Trump an apology.
You're talking about Harris like she's a typhoon or a hurricane, like she's an irrational force we just have to accept.
She's an elected representative, and she can change her positions if we demand that she changes them.
And you demand change by saying you'll take your vote elsewhere if she doesn't meet your demands. Pledging your loyalty to her no matter what is the opposite of getting what you want.
Decades of "vote blue no matter who" is how the Democrats got like this.
and if that's not a good enough reason to vote for her, you're a Trump supporter.
And if you vote for her, you're a genocide supporter.
You stand with bigots and fascists
And Kamala has said she will continue shipping weapons to Netanyahu, so she also supports bigots and fascists.
and you are no friend of Democracy.
Is slaughtering innocent children democratic?
I guess it is, as long as you vote for it.
