I was a little bit worried about Shawn's strategy but he married his big pitch to the tried & true method of pressuring Ford first(more family owned & Detroit/Michigan connection to contend with). Proud to say he got a lot a lot of the strong labor points out there in the public. Glad we are seeing benefit from having more labor friendly president(we can always do better but glad we have something).
Senator Sanders is in lockstep with Biden & rest of Democratic caucus's view here. There is a big push not to lose the path for a two-state solution and to pause West Bank settlement expansion. Wouldn't be surprised if President Biden's friend Bernard consulted with him about this beforehand.
I'm going to write something bad about you that can legally be disputed, refuted, or might not be verifiable right away. Please host me & that content at your expense. Thank you bye!
There you go again; never said we'd do any liberating that is for the citizens to decide themselves. If China goes to war because of their authoritarian leader, the system may unravel & highly likely not be supported by their public. War won't fix their real estate Ponzi scheme that collapsed ruining a lot of people's retirement plans.
Take off the rose-tinted glasses and see past propaganda. You don't know anything about China and their happiness. We are seeing discontent among the working age youth (they stopped publishing stats on it), and they have had plenty of protest squashed. It's not all bubbly (nor is it the worst possible thing). To be honest we can't know because authoritarians despise transparency. They are just happy for rubes like you.
Afghanistan was a NATO Article V in response to 9/11. The guys that supported networks like Osma Bin Laden's & terrorist like him are long gone. NATO reformed the mission in 2015 with the goal of developing an independent, self-sustaining force capable of combating both internal and external threats. It wasn't the preferred government forces that would be duly elected & accountable to the citizens but hey they got there in a way. Now they can have water wars with Iran, get in scuffles with Pakistan, decide if they want a Chinese highway cutting through remote territory, and fight ISIS-K all on their own. The kids grow up quick and get to go their own path like Iraq.
We exited a war with a more different version of our 2015 goals but we it wasn't some combat loss you are thinking of. They are fighting terrorism & standing up for themselves as a nation, not for sure how long but it got there. If I see some ballerinas playing on public TV, maybe I'll change my mind. I just like enjoying my life free from the taste of boot in my mouth and wish the Afghans could have enjoyed that too. But feel free to lick those boots if you want to.
We won the war, it's the nation building that failed. Something we don't have to worry about because the rural Chinese would favor a better pension scheme than the crummy deal they have now, and I doubt the CCCP leaders who only favor Bush Jr era business tax cuts would have the best time selling a war to a one-child policy population.
They can just go Dongfeng themselves some more instead of spreading anymore of their authoritarianism anywhere else.
Then we also don't know if the action is just temporary to just remedy a problem before IPO or a serious consideration. Rolling it out quickly is moronic too because what about smaller subs & targeted harassment.
First off, please look at a calendar and check what century we are in. If you can't recognize current atrocities, then you have no business in discussing past injustices.
You are comparing a US state, US Territory works on voting on statehood, and a US detention center that is state of the art compared to current Russian Filtration/Concentration camps.
Nothing you mentioned compares to this stuff at the moment. We can differ and that is that. I'm not going to downplay the current atrocities, so you feel better about having bad politics that don't acknowledge human suffering.
Enjoy your whataboutism & but America Bad insanity with someone else.
