«¿Cuántas naciones ha bombardeado USA desde 2001?» (Infografía: Al Jazeera)
Wew lad this is some tankie shit. The US is fucked, but this is just a lol. The US destabilized yemen 🤣
Yes, as we all know, the ongoing civil war in Afghanistan that Pakistan was deeply involved with was entirely peaceful before US intervention, Somalia and Syria (I note you use the anti-Assadist flag, lmao) likewise, we are definitely not present in Nigeria at request of the fucking Nigerian government, and our involvement post-2012 with Iraq was DEFINITELY not at request of the Iraqi government in dealing with fucking ISIS. Of course, I'm sure any number of people here would parrot critical support for ISIS under anti-imperialist grounds.
I also note that excluded in the graph is the assassination of Soleimani during Trump's first term, presumably counted instead as an Iraqi strike since it was on Iraqi soil, even though it was an attack on a high-ranking Iranian military officer. I guess that would make Trump's warmongering too apparent.
But that might contradict the "BOTHSIDES" narrative, so we can't have any of those inconvenient facts.
Also, a FUCKTON of countries are left out of both Republican presidents' laundry lists of bombed countries.
How curious and totally unexpected. /s
Go ahead. Tell me that supporting the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan was 'destabilizing' a country already in civil war. Tell me that strikes in Somalia were 'destabilizing' a country already in civil war. Tell me strikes in Syria were 'destabilizing' a country already in civil war. Hell, tell me post-2014 strikes in Yemen were 'destabilizing' a country in civil war. Tell me strikes in post-2012 Iraq were destabilizing a country struggling with an external invasion.
I would love to hear your justifications.
Whether you think they're justified or not - and I would hazard 'not' in most cases, personally - the idea that they were 'destabilization' of the world is fucking nonsense, and Very Serious Leftists like you are just loathe to admit that you're useful idiots for literal Nazis. But hey, if you useful idiots didn't support maximizing Zionist aims, who would?
Who says republicans and democrats can’t agree?
I love bipartisanship
Democrats and republicans differ only in that the democrats don’t openly attack minorities in their own country.
So, about that:
Human rights watch letter to Joe biden
We write to express outrage over your administration’s expansion of the cruel and unnecessary immigration detention system. Last month, you signed a spending bill that provides historically high funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention - $3.4 billion in taxpayers’ money. Our organizations work with and advocate on behalf of people who have experienced immigration detention. They carry life long scars from the mistreatment and dehumanization they endured because of the United States’ reliance on detention, mostly through private prisons and county jails. Your administration is further entrenching this reliance, marking an utter betrayal of your campaign promises.
[...]
The system your administration is expanding is riddled with abuse and impunity. Your senior officials have been aware of these significant human rights concerns since day one. ICE’s jails and prisons operate under insufficient standards with inspections that are notorious for covering up deficiencies. Inadequate medical care results in deaths; LGBTQ individuals in custody suffer homophobic and transphobic harassment and abuse; basic sanitation is often lacking; Black immigrants face unaffordable bonds and violence at disparately high rates; and ICE’s use of solitary confinement regularly meets the United Nations’ definition of torture.
Emphasis on openly. Obama admin continued or put in place the framework that Trump is now abusing. Biden continued it. They’re all rotten.
They weren't doing it secretly? I suppose they weren't bragging about torturing LGBT+ people either, but it's not like this stuff was unknown.
"They're all rotten" +1
Could be wrong but I’m fairly certain it also applies to the previous century.
In the previous century japan and germany were strong contenders. This time around it's neck-in-neck with israel, and russia is a distant third.
Americans suck. Change my mind.
Yeah we're trash, tho there's a growing minority that also wants to end it.
USA loves to bomb brown people. Got it 👍🏼.
should replace the "as American as apple pie" => "As American as bombing brown children"
