    Pulling a Putin.

    What are you doing amassing troops at the Ukraine border in a country you’ve manufactured lies about while your country flounders economically under shitty leadership?

    Oh, nothing…

    What are you doing amassing ships and troops in the Caribbean near a country you’ve manufactured lies about while your country flounders economically under shitty leadership?

    Oh, nothing…

    E: lookit all the “butwhatabout the US?!” who have poor reading comprehension. I already said the US is potentially behaving shitty just like Russia did do shitty. Very clearly I said that it’s a preexisting pattern, and I did not deflect from how shitty the US’s behavior is by butwhatabouting Russia. I only noted the pattern. Nonetheless, all the butwhatabout’s can’t seem to comprehend that and insist on butwhatabout-ing the US. Learn how to read. You’re not scoring any points.

      Pulling a Putin.

      Regime changes in South America are as American as apple pie. No need to invoke Putin.

        Oh for sure. The US has used the Caribbean and the rest of the Americas south of it like it’s own little imperialist/colonialist backyard plaything. Banana republics and dictators and all.

        Trump just emulating his hero.

        Noted, the appeal to hypocrisy as if people reading this are unaware of similar historic actions of any powerful country.

            Who was emulating every world power before the US was even the US. But keep trying ypur “I hate the US hurr durr… butwhatabout the US?!” argument. Let’s look at it a little closer though…you already agreed that the US is behaving like Russia, so I guess my point stands.

              The only person doing whataboutism here is you.

              2025, USA telegraphs a regime change in Venezuela - perfectly in line with 200 years of US history and some 40 regime changes.

              “but what about Putin?”

              Putin has fuck all to do with America doing what America does best - military intervention and aggression in South America.
