As an American citizen, I'm 150 fucking percent against this in all ways shape and form. I don't know how to prevent this from continuing but I'll be looking for any chance at having this country both formally apologizing and prosecuting the idiots responsible.

What goddamn horrible news to wake up to, my apologies to our fellow people on spaceship earth.

E: did anyone notice the not-so-veiled threat against Cuba?

I've started reminding people with youngs sons that they need to sign up for the draft. Always interesting when you ask the ones i know vote republican suddenly realize their votes could kill their kids. Glad I'm old enough to avoid this shit.

US imperialism is bipartisan, though. Always been a genocidal, warmongering power.

Yes, two parties, one right wing and the other fascist as is. The US never was a real democracy for the people, only for Billonairs, Big Corporations and several economic and media lobbies which are making the policy to their like. Feudalism v2.0

Late-stage imperialism.

I was just explaining to some of my overseas friends how embarrassed and ashamed I was of the current administration, domestically and abroad.

Less than 24 hours later, this fucking disgrace.

To be clear, US imperialism is bipartisan. It isn't a Trump thing, but a US Empire thing.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 month ago

Were you not ashamed of previous administrations?

[-] josephc@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

No no. I've been embarrassed and ashamed of plenty of them, but this one is especially malevolent.
