      I’m not American, so our perspectives will always be different. From where the rest of the world is sitting, Americans have never given a tin shit about natural justice or respect for another country’s autonomy. You guys have been in the coup business for over a hundred years. How many governments have been overthrown because they weren’t compliant enough, not friendly enough to your corporate interests or simply standing in the way of your geopolitical ambitions? Pacific islands blown apart or outright stolen, dark money handed to murderous dictators, killer regimes installed and resources sucked away. Spare me the rationalism about one particular brand of domestic American politics being slightly less worse than the other. If your country is balls deep in the misery of what’s going on in Palestine already, there won’t be too many left to murder when Trump takes office in January.

      Coke or Pepsi, feller.

          How American of you to assume that I am unqualified to have an opinion about the US supporting a genocide in the Middle East. Should the rest of the world just look the other way?

          Nobody is arguing that Trump isn’t a disaster. However, your country elected the bastard, so it’s fundamentally your fucking problem. A problem you guys are also inflicting on the rest of us.

          Having said that, I agree with many of the points you are making.

        Looks at Colombia

        Coke indeed. For anyone who thought this fuckery ended with the Civil War, look up the Coca Cola Killings. Also Steven Donziger, the lawyer who won against Chevron in Ecuadorian courts and the got steamrolled personally by Chevron and American judges friendly to them.

        This shit is still going on.

        Posting if anyone is curious because the USA has been involved in a hell of a lot of coups. Mostly overthrowing democratically elected governments that were in the style of the USA’s own FDR era to be replaced by murderous fascist military dictatorships who are pro American business and anti-worker -civil rights -democratic.

        United States involvement in regime change

        And after the coups happen, American officials celebrate them as a win for democracy and freedom.

      You voted for a genocide apologist and your country and tax dollars are paying for the bombs that killed my friends in lebannon.

      You do not give a shit about foreigners and you were ready to throw them under the bus in exchange for your own safety.

      If there was any justice Biden would be on an electric chair for conspiracy to commit genocide, and so is Trump.
