Yes this is about Contra, but the fact she literally only considered US citizens in her analysis is telling. Like not a single argument about foreign policy, or concern about people 30 centimetres over the border occurred to her.
And all the Dem Socialist reply guys are arguing against her on her terms. Like fucking hell, are you Internationalists or not? Fuck how large the US left is, you’re fighting for the Whole Left! I understand revolt in the Imperial core is both important and difficult, but jfc!
I’m afraid I’m going third-worldist here (for values of third world that include, like, Germany and Spain.)
Foreign Policy is also why I didn’t vote for Clinton. She and her cronies are such blood hungry warhawks. I wouldn’t ever vote for trump either, but I know a few vets who also couldn’t vote for Clinton because of her ghoulish stances on so much FP. Also really funny how when people talk about voting for lesser evils, it’s the same thing this thread is about, FP is always completely ignored.
“No fly zone” pretty much sold me against Clinton. That’s hawk shit. Only later did I learn that “No Fly Zone” was Madame Secretary’s original plan for Libya when it broke out into civil war. It ended up being the first of several escalations of the US into the conflict that eventually led to open-air slave markets.
Clinton was literally asked if she would do anything different if she had the chance for Libya. She said no, and she has no regrets. There is still open slave markets in Libya. https://foreignpolicy.com/2016/04/14/hillary-clinton-has-no-regrets-about-libya/
Yeah dude, he would be like, “Donald Trump want’s to leave Iraq! Well, not me, Jack—I’m gonna surge the troops just like my boss, Barrack Obama did. We need more troops deployed!!” partly cause he probably thinks that and partly cause his brain is so bad he just automatically takes the opposite stance trump does cause uhhh, libs love it i guess
That’s most states so…
Write in votes in many states are binned so there’s no shame in going with Howie Hawkins.
The only reason foreign policy is ever brought up in mainstream news is because of the troopz! That’s all they really ever talk about, especially people like fucking Jake Tapper who has such a fucking hardon for war but gets all serious n sad when some US person gets blown up. Like, yeah I guess those million+ iraqis lives didn’t matter, huh jake?
But remember to not attack the troops, they are innocent of killing civilians they real bad guy is the generals, and if you continue they will use the nurenberg defence
the per capita doesn’t even matter, at least 2 million were killed in Iraq
You’re right, comrade. I was thinking lately of a socdem event that i attended about a year ago, where someone spoke on the stage about “good union jobs” …working for MIC companies making weapons of war. It’s either a troubling lack of perspective, or intentional western imperialism.
