what woke said was American style imperialism, perhaps even colonialism is good, justified. I can almost, for a moment, understand the rage of people under uncle sam's boot resorting to violent means. Sad.
The White House also said the ATT "will only constrain responsible countries while allowing the irresponsible arms trade to continue," noting that major arms exporters such as Russia and China are not part of the deal.
"Today the President once again walked away from America's leadership role in the world and undermined international efforts to reduce human suffering caused by irresponsible and illegal arms transfers," said Stimson Managing Director Rachel Stohl, an arms trade expert who helped draft the treaty.
We are the top dog and must keep it that way at all cost. Why we have 700 military bases around the world?
Abswer: For defense, Russia and China, they are threatening us by placing their countries so close to our military bases.
Another example of patnetters talking out of both cheeks. US might is alltruistic, never mind corrupt DC ticks, siphon the loot then our wall street overlords takes a hefty cut, then toss some scraps to you. Who begs for it. Spin it as American exceptionalism,
never mind corrupt DC ticks
siphon the loot then our wall street overlords takes a hefty cut
Okay, I think I'm talking to a bot.
It was a hard job producing such a sleazy, psychotic, morally bankrupt, conniving, pandering, underhanded, corrupt field that it makes Trump look like the soul of sane deliberation, decorum and political brilliance, but the Dems and LibbyFucks managed.
There’s no sense of balance to what our country does overseas, not just Iran, Syria, Venezuela, but even China too. Our military industry has us in over our head. It needs to stop.
America’s largest foreign soil base is Garrison Humphreys home to 45,000 personnel in South Korea and right across from China.
We would absolutely freak if a country did this to us. The oligarchs media would not let us get a minute rest if any country built a supply logistics base the size of the Pentagon just a hundred miles or so off our coast.

Kamala Harris was a favorite of many in the room. The U.S. senator from California now describes herself as a populist and highlighted a past confrontation with JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon over foreclosures in her pre-campaign book, but in 2012, as California’s attorney general, she passed on prosecuting OneWest and its CEO, Steven Mnuchin. In this cycle, she has been the Democrat perhaps most active in seeking Wall Street money (Citi vice-chairman Ray McGuire and Pine Street partner Brian Mathis are helping with her Wall Street outreach, and she recently headlined a fund-raiser hosted by LionTree CEO Aryeh Bourkoff) and occasionally its advice (BlackRock’s Michael Pyle, an Obama-administration alum, is advising her on economics). “People are generally in search of a candidate who has the right set of views, has the right character, but also can win,” Rattner told me later. “Right now, it is very hard to see who checks all three boxes.”
But another option held promise: moderate Virginia Democrat Mark Warner, who’d twice before considered running. The senator agreed to meet last summer and listened as they promised funding and presented a plan to get his name on the ballot in all 50 states. Then Warner, assessing the probability of a successful third-party run, told them, “Thanks, but no thanks.”
US imperialism madness must stop if at all possible.

Right, because China has never invaded the Korean Penninsula - and I don't just mean 1952.
No coverage
I do think we could reduce our footprint to an extent and would like to see it happen. But close a foreign base and guess what, someone else is going to fill the void. It has to be done strategically. Are trade routes protected that get us products or our products to other countries? It's not just about money or us being an evil empire. We're a global economy and more people would be dying if we weren't doing what we do. We kill, but more we be killed if we didn't.
It is depressing to observe how the United States of America has become the evil empire.
Carter then said the US has been at peace for only 16 of its 242 years as a nation.
18 years war in Afghanistan
Try fighting a war without the ability to print endless debt, doesn't work so well.
Yup. I mean, seriously, like what about the Mongols under Genghis Khan?
U.S. solder killed in the Republic of Niger, shows his last moments via his attached body webcam
We are basically at war with Iran again and wanting to force regime change there and in Venezuela. It's no coincidence we are all programmed to hate Venezuela's leader. When the straight of Hormuz closes a global chain reaction will be triggered and Venezuela's oil could save us from the collapse of the highly illegal derivatives market and so the global economy. Both China and Russia stand with Iran and they are protecting Venezuela from our regime change operations while we make their economy scream.
You are not alone in the conclusion that we are not the world's altruistic guardian as the propagandists will have you thinking,
WTF finally proof that Jesus is God it seems we'll have to fire our guns more often and achieve more massive reduction in death and violence around the world!!! YAYYYYYYYYYY!! LOL
If the America haters are going to blame every death in the Middle East and around the world on the American Military Industrial Complex. Logic suggests the US also gets credit for the remarkable peace and prosperity over the last half century.
