    Can we just… not?

    Can we address the criminals in the white house instead of any criminals outside of our country? Please?

        Same as it ever was.

        Ever wonder how many wars got started because of an embarrassed little man of a tyrant? Unfortunately we’re doomed to repeat the same mistakes, I suppose we’re only human. All this fancy high tech bullshit changed everything but also didn’t change a thing.

    Covert operations expected to be first step […] The United States plans on Monday to designate the Cartel de los Soles a foreign terrorist organization […] The Trump administration has accused Maduro of leading Cartel de los Soles, […] Washington in August doubled its reward for information leading to Maduro’s arrest to $50 million. But U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said last week that the terrorist designation “brings a whole bunch of new options to the United States.”

    … Are they publicly announcing that they’re planning to assassinate the head of a foreign government?!

    Ah.

    “Operations”

    Reminds me of when Bill Clinton rebranded his wars as “peacekeeping actions”.

    Exclusive: China to launch new phase of Nepal operations, sources say

    Funny how when you say the US is doing something is perfectly normal and acceptable … disturbing and troubling but still acceptable

    But when you change the country name, then the world loses their minds
