War is good for business.
Opioids business too i guess
What is with the posting two or three or more year old articles as if theyre current breaking news?
Seen that a few times this week, downvote every time.
Anybody with an iota of logical brain and sense of morality knows Democrats and Republicans are just for show. There is no liberal left, and communist parties got banned with the Communist Control Act of 1954. All you have is the centrist right and far right, thus a country with zero consideration for morals and equality.
Not sure if I should call it a country even, as Natives were genocided, and it is basically occupied territory by defected European goons.
When will #FreeUSA trend on Twitter and Instagram?
I don’t think they are just for show. There are differences in which policies each party try to pass. The GOP is clearly fascist. The democratic party are clearly not fascist.
Totally agree with you here. Also “for show” means that someone is doing a show, which is a weirdly conspiratorial take.
Yeah, the rich conspire against everyone else and influence both parties in major ways, but the US also is a democracy, you know, where people vote.
And we know how voting helps American citizens. Spoiler: individualist pure capitalism does not give them socialised welfare benefits, and keeps them in debt and paycheck-to-paycheck slave life routine.
Voting does help American citizens. Not a lot but it does, there is all kind of legislation which has a positive impact.
I agree that it’s not enough. I agree that other measures need to be taken if possible.
Voting only works as intended when the Congress and the elected party officials are not corrupt and not lapdogs of corporations and mafia. That is not the case, hence voting barely benefits citizens, and the democracy there looks like a circus TV show instead of it being an extremely ideal and reputed political structure system on paper.
It’s not an extremely ideal system on paper even, the US does have a two party democracy which is deeply flawed. Still a democracy though, even if corrupt etc
Calling the American system a democracy is an insult to democracy. It is a plutocracy, an individualist warmongering pure capitalist one.
Democrats are centrist warmongerers and want the American hegemony supremacy. They are not fascist as in nationalistic race supremacy, but as in maintaining the same terrorising and discriminatory foreign policy.
Yes! They are better than republicans though who would, if they could, bring back racial segregation, probably not even give women a right to vote.
Trump clearly had given women right to vote. Voting rights being taken away would be a literal axe to Republicans’ own foots, considering how much drums USA beats about Western neoliberal democracy.
I said if it was feasible they would. If trump would have tried, he would have been impeached and whatever, assassinated, because the US population wouldn’t accept this mostly.
America is run by libs regardless of partisan affiliation but that you think that’s left does more to get your point across than anything you wrote.
Free turtle island. Death to America.
And I find it disappointing those who puts this to the US wanting profits and shows a lack of understanding. People in the US seems to want to pull out, but pulling out is bad for the region, so this move is a middle-step.
Best would be if the US hold on to their positions more tightly and didn’t wiggle so much. This is the case from before Trump, although Trump really fucked things up. If they pulled out slowly over a long period of time, like years that would probably be the most optimal solution at least for the US pulling out.
I agree that most people in the United States want to pull out of the war, but the same is not true for their government. It is closely linked with the military industrial complex, which makes a lot of profit from wars, and wants to continue them. And like this video explains, being in Afghanistan is also part of their strategy to encircle China.
And as the article mentions, the US isnt really pulling out of Afghanistan. They are leaving over 10.000 private military contractors and special forces, plus two military airbases. So they can redeploy their troops in a matter of days or weeks.
Only if people understood the class interests involved and whose interest the Government cares more about & tries to enforce. Unfortuanely, we don’t talk about C-word anymore and pretend they don’t exist!
There are a version of this I could agree with, unfortunately there are a lot of things I dislike.
“The US isn’t REALLY pulling out” “The government acts on it’s own and don’t adher to the representatives nor the voters that vote them in” “Afghanistan is also part of their strategy to encircle China”
I find these statements that are pretty difficult to swallow and i’d call some of it very conspiratorial. I’d agree on some level that the military industrial complex is a problem, they are keeping some forces, but fully pulling out like that would be stupid and dangerous for Afghanistan.
I say good that they can deploy their troops in a matter of days or weeks. One thing is to not want your soldiers dying in Afghanistan, another is wanting Afghanistan to not have armed forces available. Just seems to warped to me
I find these statements that are pretty difficult to swallow and i’d call some of it very conspiratorial.
What right does the US have, to have 800+ military bases outside its borders?
Nuance is a b1tch. You have to differentiate current and historical military action. Not all US bases exists for the same reason and exists from different deals of security and so on.
Also, why is it a problem with the military bases there? It’s a shame that these places has military power right? Seems like that is what you categorically want. I’ll probably make sure not to get into a rabbithole about Hong Kong and Taiwan either.
But I know you guys for a bit now, so i’m not suprised. Can’t help taking the piss at ya’ll too. But I do get so stirred by all the stuff, which is motly my fault.
The American foreign policy is commonly known, historically as well as currently. The same actions that happened in Iraq couple decades ago, similar actions like Project Maven (Google AI powered military drones) happened in 2018, where Yemen was bombed.
What are these historical and current actions being different, you speak of? Are you apologising for the American overseas terrorism knowingly, whilst portraying some kind of pity on the “eagle saviour of the world”? Are you evangelised regarding USA’s intent to make the world a better place?
Is the Uyghur genocide propaganda, and recent delisting of Al Qaeda associate ETIM terrorist organisation, not a hint of history repeating once again, after the Iran baby incubator testimony of Nayirah, whose family got paid $8M by CIA?
Is the Vietnam war, or the East Timor or Indonesian genocides, documented, enough for you to understand Anglo colonialism?
Also, you do not seem to know why a lot of the US basecamps are lined conveniently along the Strait of Malacca, the main route for South Asia for trading stuff. And somehow, the only other trade route established by China, using Belt Road Initiative, passing through Afghanistan, is also where USA military stands by since post 9/11.
