Maybe when Iran meets with the US, they can point to our horrific foreign and domestic human rights record, they could look at how many people die just from our healthcare system, the police brutality, they could point to the crimes of our country against theirs, they could point to how utterly corrupt our system is, and they can start making demands about internal changes, just like we do to them for no logical reason, as if we are in a position to demand these things. Same with Cuba. We always demand this or that of Cuba. Well, Cuba should start demanding internal changes in the US.
Our political, economic and media systems are a joke. Not only does Bolton push for an illegal and destructive war, but he is given space to publish psychotic and irrational articles in corporate rags and is once again given power in government. The party in charge is filled with corrupt sociopaths and the so called opposition party announced that they would look forward and not back on that war, and of course no one is ever held responsible for what we do to other countries. Instead of Bolton being in jail, and Pompeo in a white padded room, they are out there pushing for policies only extremist hawks, war profiteers and right wing Christians would love. And thanks to the Democrats for nominating not only a historically bad candidate, but one so hawkish and tone deaf that she bragged about the support she got from Kissinger, Kagan, Newland, Boot and the like. You know, the respectable irrational sociopaths. She did her best to make her look as bad as possible (obviously not the intent, but she was too far gone to see the obvious) to most people that Trump was able to pretend to be something he wasn’t. If there was a much greater contrast, that wouldn’t have been so relatively easy for Trump. And while Trump is a horrible disaster, at least the center-left is fucking paying attention. Cause Clinton would have been horrible on foreign policy if she were president, and many people posting here that provided cover for her and corrupt Democrats would have continued to do so, and most people now paying attention would not have been paying attention. I wish Trump would have lost, but at least people are paying a bit of attention to these issues. They didn’t with Obama and wouldn’t have with Clinton, and Clinton would almost certainly have been worse than Obama on foreign policy.
