The companies who made the machines that were 100% accurate like to sue clowns. Even newsmax had to admit they made up their nonsense, lest the suit would bankrupt them. No libel intended, although I have often been called a clown. My response was intended as a sarcastic dig at those who still dispute the outcome of the election using totally discredited arguments. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srikcir Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 So then we have the "mouse that roared" democratic Ukraine assisted by democratic Tigers (USA, UK, EU, etc.) that is resisting conquest by fascist-led Russia. Then there are the sheep like Thailand with their Heads in the ground claiming business neutrality for fear of losing economic benefits from their undemocratic partners.

petey123 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 the u.s. empire is endlessly interfering in virtually all countries of the world: the more important the country, the more interference. the unnecessary and totally avoidable war in the ukraine is a good example, the countries most likely to be subjected to u.s. pressure are those that refuse to kowtow. despite what the empire is now saying, no national borders are sacred, e.g., serbia/kosovo, syria, czechoslovakia, etc. (hypocrisy being one of the empire's "strong suits"). for those who don't understand the negative influence of the empire on world affairs, it is only necessary to ask one question: in the past 30+ years, what country has created the most mayhem, destruction and death in the world? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presnock Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 The US has been friendly with Thai governments for decades although military ruled countries cannot be provided any aid. The US sees Thailand being wooed by the Chinese who are doing this throughout the world. We at least allow foreigners to purchase land, businesses etc in the US but try that in Russia or N.Korea or China. The wars we have been involved in are almost totally brought about by the UN and we provide military assistance including our soldiers. We do this to prevent any of those people from starting a war in the US to protect our citizen as forethought. I do not always agree with their support of poor leaders but then I am not in a position to do so. Much of the people of the world today have more freedom than they would have if the US never assisted them. Even the bad ones we provide some kind of assistance, many times having to borrow the money to aid them. My analysis anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hammer2021 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 7 hours ago, animalmagic said: If you are going to list countries involved in geopolitical interference don't be selective; you only show your bias. Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Israel are all involved in various types of political, economic, religious and social interference. This is carried out through the use of debt traps, heavyweight threats, physical violence, spying, corruption and social media engineering (propaganda). Geopolitical interference (influence) is the function of all nations and the greater the nation the more the interference- Rarely for good but not always bad. I don't regard the West's attempt to subvert the Soviet Union as bad at all. The West's successful attempt to subvert Iran, establishing the Peacock throne in their own oil interests created better governance than the current corrupt theocracy that replaced the Shah who was no western 'pet' establishing OPEC. "The great game' has always existed. I am very grateful for the wealth created by the British Empire and those cunning, ruthless disciplined diplomats backed by our working class military led by a ruthless aristocracy. They worked lived fought and died for the future generations, for us the beneficiaries for which I'm eternally grateful. I would be a fool and a knave not to be. But the Soviet Union and its post WW2 occupation of the Warsaw Pact territories and the destabilisation of of South and Central America by the USA under the Munroe Doctrine I find less justifiable. But all nations seek to influence and interfere in other countries to fulfill their goals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to listen to or watch any YouTube videos from a geopoliticalist that has his finger on the pulse of most any world issue, search for Peter Zeihan.

Next time we are in power we will use the counting machine that Don jr and Mike Lindell invented. After all, counting machines are 100% trustworthy and no forensic audit or open source software is permitted. Anyone that questions Mike and Dons counting machine is guilty of perpetrating a big lie and will lose access to social media, have their bank accounts cancelled and probably lose their job and face public humiliation.

As I stated in the post, it takes many years after a conflict/democide to get accurate numbers. Your perception through news reports is meaningless. If you have evidence that Americans killed more people than the Totalitarian regimes than you should publish it. It would likely win an award. Democide from Totalitarian/Authoritarian states has been shown to consistently be a far larger killer of people than war between countries. That is just what the numbers say. Edit: You would also get a very large amount of grant money. Edited May 31, 2022 by jdlancaster Add clarification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
