  • It’ll be interesting to see if/how the Dems try to torpedo their own candidate in the general election.

  • Oh look what instance this was commented on.

  • I guess Noam Chomsky and Michael Parenti are paid shills, too?

    Ukraine is a sovereign nation

    Ukraine may be sovereign on paper, but it’s a vassal of the US, which couped its government in 2014 (and 2004). Previously. Previously.

  • NATO didn’t stop a genocide; it aided one[1][2][3].

    During the latter half of [the 1990s], Yugoslav authorities engaged in a brutal counterinsurgency against the Kosovo Liberation Army. An Al Qaeda-connected extremist group armed, funded and trained by the CIA and MI6, the KLA sought to construct an ethnically pure “Greater Albania” - a Nazi-inspired irredentist project, uniting Tirana with territory in Greece, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia - via insurrectionary violence. Come September 1998, hostilities had erupted into all-out war. A UN Security Council Resolution that month demanded the two sides implement a ceasefire.

    Yugoslav military forces were duly withdrawn from the province - in turn, the KLA exploited the army’s absence to intensify its bloody rampage, seizing further territory and purging non-Albanian inhabitants. A dedicated OSCE unit, the Kosovo Verification Mission, was also created to ensure Belgrade’s ceasefire compliance. KVM was granted full, unimpeded movement anywhere they wished locally. Their presence proved pivotal not only to the KLA’s savage crusade, but NATO’s subsequent criminal bombing of Yugoslavia March - June 1999.

  • FYI, sometimes some light headline editing is helpful & warranted, like, “[Iranian] President says people must be proud of themselves for victory”.

  • Technically correct, the worst kind of correct in geopolitics. The US hasn’t declared war in over 80 years and yet has slaughtered millions around the world since.

  • My understanding is that Iran gave several states, including the US and Qatar, advance warning of their attack. Iran expected that none of their missiles would hit their targets.

  • US vassal states like Qatar already supported regime change in Iran.

  • If you really want to know, I’m sure there are medical journal articles and scientific research papers on why the “hate.”

  • He’s a slave in the same sense that almost all of us are: a wage slave. What sets him apart is that he’s also a fool for giving his former master months of free labor.

  • Welcome to NATO, the “defensive” alliance where everything’s made up and the laws don’t matter.
