Donald Trump on Sunday threatened military action against Colombia’s government, telling reporters that such an operation “sounds good to me.”

    We’re under the rule of a deranged madman and the media is desperately trying to spin this as “business as usual”.

      It’s not a lone madman. It’s just such good propaganda that nobody is asking who the people are who came up with the plan of conquering Venezuela.

    He also threatened Cuba, Denmark/greenland, Mexico, Canada and Panama. The turd Reich just had its Austria moment so you can bet on more imperialist expansion.

    What’s interesting for me is the last 20 or so years of hearing people talk about how Iran or NK or whoever should never have nuclear weapons because, you know, their leaders may just be crazy enough to use them. (When historically nukes have proven to be the best deterrent against the belligerent aggression of major world powers.)

    And here in the US, we’re on our third admin in a row run by someone with evident, public mental illness and travels with an arsenal of nukes at his fingertips.

    The world has a breaking point where they won’t put up with the US’ shit anymore, and we may find out what that is in 2026.

      No one will believe this:

      20 years ago, eating lunch behind Taco Bell, George Bush is President, listening to Limbaugh (I know! It was a long time ago.)

      Rush is going off about how it’s none of America’s business to police Iran’s nuclear capability and that Iran has the right to develop not only power stations, but weapons, for the same reasons you outline. He argued for some time on the subject.

      I’d kill for a recording of that because I’m pretty certain he flipped the script once Obama was in and trying to limit Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

        Well, shes not a genocidal Nazi so she’d probably be doing everything in her power to make the lives of US citizens a little better. And not just feeding propaganda to the fragile-ego-peaked-in-high-school-racist-mouth-breathers while moving the US deeper into another recession while selling her endless merchandise

          People here on the fediverse were saying that a vote for Harris is a vote for genocide, but not really mentioning Trump at all. Well, people on the tankieverse anyway, idk if your instance has them defederated or not.

          The comment you replied to was a reference to this. A reminder that people here told voters to stay home because Harris was so awful.

          Which likely didn’t have much an effect on the election result, but we’re allowed to be bitter about the entire thing. Anyone with a brain knew Trump would be worse, but people in bad faith argued that Trump didn’t support the genocide in Palestine so Harris was the worse, more violent option.

          I’m pretty sure that you completely fell Poe’s law. Smcf is not a conservative as far as I can tell based on the last 2 years of reading their comments.

            Sure, I didn’t do that level of investigation. Even with that information, I’m still having some trouble parsing but I’m pretty fucked up right now.

        Hey guy, I suspect that you tried to make a sarcastic comment, if that was the point, add a “/s” to it. Else just leave it for the downvotes

        She’d be making a genocide happen in Gaza for sure and probably wouldn’t have stopped the war in Ukraine yet.

    What can the world do? Not one country is strong enough to enforce demand on the US and a coalition seems unlikely. How can one stop such a dictator?

        It would force the US to pay for the value of those bonds and either default on the bonds by not paying (and losing any negotiating power on the world financial stage), Or loose about 31 Trillion paying out bonds to countries.

    Since nobody is going to mass shoot these motherfuckers, I am actually praying to a god that doesn’t exist that like 80% of these pieces of shit drop dead of some kind of causes, natural or otherwise.
