@Skeptic_Jon@MyLordBebo btw, house ownership per capita is higher in Europe than in America so idk why you thought bringing up that topic was gonna be some sort of epic "gotcha" but good effort bud
Así se ve la dignidad, el pueblo indígena de Bolivia sigue en pie de lucha contra el neoliberalismo, pese a la represión, las asambleas de trabajadores siguen parando el pais con más de 100 barricadas.
El régimen de Rodrigo Paz va a implantar la ley marcial e inundar las calles de militares, convirtiendo el pais en un estado paramilitar.
Fuerza al pueblo boliviano, pueblo heroico, noble y digno.
HAPPENING NOW 🇦🇱 Thousands of Albanians are marching under a single banner: Albania Is Not for Sale.
They are facing down the full weight of a government that rewrote its own laws to hand the coastline to Donald Trump’s son-in-law: Jared Kushner.
A young girl tries to button up her blouse after being abused, along with others, by US Army soldiers. They will all be shot shortly after, a total of 504 Vietnamese civilians, in what is known as the My Lai massacre. It is March 16, 1968
The American soldiers tortured, raped and killed in retaliation for a clash with the Vietcong militia, and were stopped by a US reconnaissance helicopter. The pilot and two officers stood between the last civilians and the rest of their colleagues, with guns drawn, saving at least 11 defenseless Vietnamese. They will receive a medal 30 years later for their courage.
The My Lai massacre continued to be denied, refuted and silenced by the Americans for years. Even Colin Powell, at the time major in charge of the investigation, wrote that the relations between the US army and Vietnamese civilians were excellent. Powell would become US Secretary of State in 2001.
As for the perpetrators, among the dozens of soldiers on trial, only Lieutenant William Calley was sentenced to life in prison, and President Nixon commuted his sentence to house arrest, of which he would serve only 3 years.
He would publicly apologize in 2009 for the crimes committed.
The photo, and much of the testimony of the atrocities committed, are by war photographer Ron Haeberle.
"Utterly disgusting. A massive shame against US military and the animals responsible were not even prosecuted save for one whose punishment was minimal"
"And they are still doing it, but you won't read about it because the military won't let it be known."

That time he blew up a packed Doctors Without Borders hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan, killing 42 people and wounding dozens of other civilians. Or how about one of the other 600 drone strikes he conducted?
He not only droned hospitals, but weddings and even the funerals for those killed in the weddings. He normalized the use of *double-tap* strikes where they would target civilians in one strike and then immediately strike the first responders who came to aid them— which has been frequent in Israeli and American warfare since.
The cognitive dissonance is scary.
Stop celebrating this man. He's a war criminal. You rightfully criticize Trump; but Obama built so much of the capabilities and apparatuses that Trump abuses today to commit his own crimes and atrocities. From caging children to stripping civil liberties.
