In a healthy, functioning society, anyone who would vote to acquit someone who harmed a defenseless child would be too terrified to show their face. Instead, we live in a society where the one person with the moral courage to stand up for that child is the one who has to hide.
“I killed my three (3) children but it’s okay because um uh erm I was like really super duper sad and mental health and actually society and men did it when you think about it”
Electric chair.
This is one of the sickest, most demented, most morally reprehensible and most disgusting things any American President has ever said.
But it's vital to remember that among his most influential war advisers are the fanatical Israel First loyalists Laura Loomer and Mark Levin.
Donald J Trump is Americas greatest president
Barack Hussian Obama wasn’t able to open the straight of Homez and he paid them $1.7 billion of their own money
Trump leads through strength
Such an arrogant and dumb statement, full of historical amnesia. Let me educate you. Have you paused to consider how the world functioned before the emergence of the United States barely 250 years ago, or before its rise as a superpower after the Second World War? Civilizations, economies, and systems of governance flourished long before American dominance.
The world does not need American charity. It is America that needs the world to need its charity. Your aid is strategic, tied to geopolitical influence, economic leverage, and policy conditions that take away the sovereignty of recipient states. This is not benevolence in its purest form, but an instrument of power within an unequal international order.
And surely, the world does not need American protection. Protection from whom? From wars and conflicts you create. The CIA has manufactured several conflicts across the world. The United States has been involved in interventions, covert operations, and conflicts across regions such as Latin America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia during the Cold War and beyond. Why? Because war is a business that the military-industrial complex of America benefits from and whose money runs your country. The world would not need protection if you did not exist.
Your nation is a parasite that feeds off the stolen wealth of others and their suffering. American prosperity is intertwined with global systems of trade, resource extraction, and financial dominance. Your biggest weapon, the dollar, survives on oil. Its centrality in global markets, reinforced by its role in oil transactions, has afforded the United States significant structural advantages. That is why you invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, and now Iran. Similarly, your wealthiest companies, like Apple, have benefited from supply chains that often originate in regions marked by inequality and exploitation, such as the Congo. They thrive on the hunger, exploitation, and suffering of children in the Congo to fund American riches. It is a tiny fraction of the proceeds of such wealth that you send as charity to Africa and the rest of the world.
There was life before America was born, and there will be life after you are gone. Either America will learn to live in peace and harmony with others, or, like other empires before it, it will fall.
The Irony of this war;The ‘strongest’ side is begging,appealing and threatening others to come and join them and the ‘weakest’ side is not calling on anyone to join them.
He’s winding down the war and looking for an off-ramp but will blow up all their power plants unless they open the Strait which we don’t need and will open itself anyway which is why he might send ground troops to the country he already blew off the map.
Pete Hegseth accuses Iran of investing in missiles and weapons instead of people, during a speech in which he's asking for $200 billion for weapons, instead of people.
What you are really describing is not some "parallel" between Singapore and Dubai.
You are describing what happens when the United States turns other people's countries into service stations for its empire and then calls the danger "regional instability."
The problem is not China sitting in Asia.
The problem is America dragging Asia into American wars and expecting Asians to accept permanent risk so Washington can preserve primacy from 10,000 kilometers away.
China is not the foreign power in the Taiwan question.
The United States is.
China is not the navy parked across an ocean from its own homeland.
The United States is.
China is not the one that built a global system of bases, encirclement, sanctions, carrier groups, proxy networks, and military blackmail.
The United States is.
And this line about Singapore being punished "if China invades Taiwan" already reveals the propaganda frame.
Taiwan is not Mexico to Beijing.
It is not Iraq to Washington.
It is a Chinese civil war legacy frozen by American power projection and continuously inflamed by U.S. interference.
So no, the lesson is not "China might endanger Singapore."
The lesson is that any Asian state that allows itself to become a logistical appendage of U.S. military strategy is volunteering to become collateral for an empire that never fights near its own cities.
That is the American method.
Turn allies into launchpads.
Turn launchpads into targets.
Then talk solemnly about "deterrence" while other people's ports, trade routes, and families absorb the consequences.
You people always describe U.S. military assets as if they were weather.
As if they just naturally exist.
As if missile defense sites, maintenance hubs, reconnaissance access, naval coordination, and strategic containment were not political choices.
They are.
And once you make yourself useful to empire, do not act surprised when you inherit its risks.
The most dishonest part is that you present this as a warning about China, when the entire scenario begins with U.S. militarization of Asia.
Take America out of the equation and the temperature drops immediately.
Keep America in the equation and every port becomes a pressure point, every island a chess square, every Asian country a frontline in Washington's strategy.
China did not bring the United States to the South China Sea.
The United States brought itself.
China did not cross the Pacific to menace California.
America crossed the Pacific, ringed China with force, armed separatism, and then called Beijing aggressive for objecting.
You are not describing a Chinese threat.
You are describing the price of serving American decline.
And that price is always paid by the host, never by the empire.
@KobeissiLetter Tariffing every country on this list and then asking them to park their navies in a war zone for you is an incredible negotiating sequence
