    When Democrats inevitably take power again, and refuse to prosecute these war crimes, remember this to remind yourself that they are the enemy as well, even if not the immediate one.

    How did we get to a reality where TV personalities are in charge of armies and command them to kill indiscriminately on a drunken whim?

      Capitalism. When you have nothing, own nothing and can’t afford anything and robber barrons point out some mythical enemy responsible for all of that many people fall for it out of desperation and racism of course.

    Gotta cover up your war crimes and lies. Survivors could tell the world that they’re innocents, not ‘narco-terrorists’, and prove the US is attacking Venezuelan boats on bullshit supposed Intel to try and incite retaliation to justify their war they absolutely intend to start.
