Has anyone ever discussed how insane the bounty on Maduro is? Just a cash reward to kill/imprison the elected leader of a country you have no jurisdiction over? Imagine if Russia put a bounty out on Finland’s PM and tried multiple times to kill/kidnap them. We’d probably be starting the mobilization already.
But if the US does it? Crickets
I’m encountering a lot of Americans recently and it’s exceptionally fun pointing these kind of things out to them. A lot of the time it’s as if they actually know about whatever US or western crime it is I bring up but they have literally never considered it’s implications.
The number of times I’ve had to answer the “But what if China invades Taiwan” question, to which I point out the never ending wars and illegal bombing campaigns of the US empire, and tell them who I’m really scared of. Or what do I think of the spooky Chinese surveillance state.
I had all this yesterday when I was with a big group of Americans. There was actually a Chinese American with them as well and his relief when he started hearing my opinion was palpable. We had a lot of fun explaining how the social credit system simply didn’t exist.
Anyway, yeah. Most propagandised people on earth.
What if China invades Taiwan? What if the USA invades Alaska?! It’s always so fun to see the absolute bewilderment of other Americans when pointed out that historically, the government has acknowledged the one China policy (and that one China policy is correct).
what if the US invades puerto rico, and also the confederacy had fled there after losing the civil war
and if the US wasn’t a settler colony with no historical ties to Puerto Rico or any of the land it stole
