Jesus why not start tariffing Indian made drugs while you’re at it? Let’s be the stupidest versions of ourselves.

They released that months ago I thought.

Foley got fucked hard in his divorce. Thankfully he ended up getting back together with that ex after his coma. He was out long enough to get over his alcoholism which was the driving factor in his dovorce.

Kids are dumb and that makes them more likely to adopt the kinds of views educated people should know better than to adopt. For example in high school I very much supported right-wing libertarianism which lasted just until I got an actual job

American companies shouldn’t be allowed to own or operate anything in Canada, period

NAFTA is going to make that downright impossible sadly.

Im not incapable of reading. Your writing clearly states that Carter was responsible. You claim he oversaw it which is just flatly incorrect.

You think Im a bot because my username contains the word “bot”?

“In 1977-1978, as Indonesia engaged in wholesale destruction of East Timor through massive bombardment and forced relocation of populations”

That REALLY sounds like Indonesia was responsible for the genocide they were committing. Why are you blaming an American president for a war waged by Indonesians due to choices made by the Indonesian government? Do you think Indonesia had no agency in the genocide they perpetrated?

Again it is really weird you are blaming Carter for this.

That’s a claim I would LOVE for you to attempt to back up.

Just off the top of my head I would suspect UK, French, and Soviet imperialism to have been as big if not a bigger factor than the USA.

No he did not. Indonesia waged that campaign from the mid 70s to 1999. Blaming Carter is a stupid choice.

You might want to rephrase that as the East Timor genocide started while Carter was in office. Carter played no role in that genocide. The Indonesian government was responsible for it. It is odd that you are blaming Carter at all.

Ukraine didn’t cease to exist when the administration was removed. Why would you think that would be the case? They still go by the same name and hold to all their relative treaties other than those involved in their invasion.

We have all sorts of agreements with Ukraine including ones that provide military responses which seems to be a fairly significant sign they are an ally. They are not any more now that the USA is aligned with Russia once again.

Why would you think the Ukrainian government isn’t an ally of the USA? Why would you think the treaties and agreements made by previous administrations aren’t still in place?

No, because we actually have negotiated signed treaties with Ukraine. Are ypu confused as to what an ally is?

Again the CIA gave money to the ISI who gave money to fixers who decided who got money. The US soldiers training them doesn’t make them an ally of the USA.

This all starts when it becomes clear Ukraine has mineral rights that threaten Russia’s ability to lean on Western Europe to the extent it does/did.

The NATO claims are just cover. Even if they were true Russia has zero right to determine Ukraine’s future.

It’s weird to see “leftists” endorse imperialism while attempting to claim any kind of morality.

Isn’t that exactly why Russia invaded to begin with, to steal minerals?

How was Libya, a member of the non-aligned movement, a US ally? They literally were part of a group that took neither side in the Cold War.

OBL was never an ally. The US gave money to the Pakistani ISI who gave money to fixers who gave money to OBL. There was no direct channel. He was never an ally and it is a weird assertion to make given the history.

The other two were US allies. Noriega was even friendly with Bush 41. This is just bad history.
